can't howl worth a darn

At least mine can't howl. What a sorry sound they create when they try to howl with the neighbor dogs. We live very close to an Emerg Services building so fire trucks and ambulances go by on a regular basis with lights and sirens in full swing. This sets the dogs off running for the back yard and they start the catter walling some may think is a howl... it's so pathetic. So mine can't howl, can yours?
