I can relate to this.  Our Kes is the "bark-o-matic".  When she's in the 
house, she lays at the front living room window, her head on the ledge of the 
floor-to-ceiling windows.  When outside, she lays by the fence to the south 
side of the house.  From this vantage point, she can watch the road and the 
neighbors to our south.  I wouldn't call her bark "melodic", but it sure 
beats the yappy bark of the dog one of our neighbors have.  At night, Kes is 
generally the main one that barks.  Last week she was having a field day - 
barking for what seemed "hours" two nights in a row.  Succesful at getting 
Tanuki, Maggie (our border collie) and our neighbor's three dogs all barking. 
 Just glad we live in the country!

Robyn - in Upstate South Carolina, where we didn't even get a drop of rain 
from Floyd, but have had some gusty winds.
