This is how it sounds all day now. I can barely hear the radio on a quiet jazz station with very little talk.
Murphy is loving this. He hasn't been this noisy in his whole life. He better not forget how to whistle Que Sera and Delilah.

To funny, I recieved a gift of a two  greys on a t shirt and the first time I wore it I heard that scream to. I went out and covered it with my flannel until they got use to it, kept telling them it was them.lol
   Annie I never thought about Wyatt thinking it was big wings, I keep working with her though i keep my back between the mop and him and that helps but he screams if I forget to go in first then the mop...

Over time we learn so much about these guys, fears and what makes them happy. Murphy is not afraid of vacuum hoses but Diana goes crazy. Diana is not afraid of big boxes but Murphy panics and flies around crashing into things. So my body has to be between the box and the doorway and he's ok.
 
Every time the vac gets turned on Murphy does the bath in the gooey water thing. If hubby would just tell me he's going to vacuum I could change the water right quick. Men don't think like us brainy people do.
 
I have done several more sweet sounding (to me)recordings of Murphy whistling. I will edit them and post one of the better ones after while.
Annie

so dainty and ladylike... such a sweet little voice and I am always amazed at the quietness in the background... along with the scho..
 
Mine sounds like Grand Central Station with Amazons battling for the next train heading out of town and the Too's screaming for them to hurry and leave....

How funny. The first time I opened it it stalled in the middle of a note and repeated over and over and over. So I saved target and heard the right whistle.
Cute, very responsive.

Pepper sure enjoys both Diana Ekkie and Glory Grey! lol  He's my whistler, and they got him going to beat the band.

Daisy, on most Windows programs, my old 98 and my XP, there is a sound recorder program.  You need a microphone hooked up to your pc to record them. Then you have to edit out most of the recording because the recordings are too big to fit on msn's message pages. Mine are all over a MB and many members can't open an attachment much over 300 kbs.
You may have to use your Windows CD to find it under accessories if it wasn't installed originally.
Mine was already installed on my 98 computer but I had to hunt for it for this one and install it.

Here's another old one.  Harley and Phoebe together, when they were just starting to learn "Bridge Over the River Kwai" (both can do it very well now).  This one also has Rio practicing his opera

He sounds so sweet and tiny compared to our loudmouths.
