Their pireps always describe the ride as "rough".

LOL! Good one!

Yeah, I know their bark is equally loud, but I think if I had to hear myself
scream for an hour or two non-stop, it might be unpleasant for my ears, too!

I know some veterinarians say it's not a worry ... my concern is more for the
comfort of the dog, as clearly some handle the noise fine and some hate it,
fear it, whatever.

Thanks for the laugh.
