Default Excessive Talking?

Anyone else have a pup that seems to "talk" a lot?
Reeves always seems to be making some noise, unless he's out cold during a nap.
He'll talk to me in the morning, while he's eating, if he's napping and changes positions... It's almost like a moan/whine/grumble combo. Everything was checked out by the Vet when I got him, so he's in the clear, but I just find it curious. He's the noisiest dog I've ever had!

my dog makes all sorts of weird noises. sometimes he sounds like a cow lol. he will also sometimes groan when he's moving around in his sleep. every now and then something will elicit the ever elusive howl, which is pretty awesome.

Both our pups love to talk. Freyja whines and Angus grumbles. Sometimes when Frey is really excited (i.e. suppertime) she lets out a continuous low whine. Our joke is that my dog is leaking air. Angus makes more identifiable noises that are combinations of barks, growls and yowls. Sometimes even the cat joins in.

they are so funny. chobahn's howl consists of the normal oooooowwwwuuuuuuuuu, but he finishes it of with a "wowowowow" or a "raaar raar raar" there's a video of it on the forum...makes me laugh every time.

My boy LOVES to talk. He has different vocalizations for every emotion. It's like a mix between howling, whining and barking. I've been around it enough to know exactly what he wants with each noise. He can pretty much ask for anything he wants with his noises. It's adorable and useful!

Molly talks more than my wife We get daily laughter from her funny groans. Its especially funny when she yawns and adds a little drama to it!!

i read somewhere "when your dog is constantly talking to you
he's telling you what you're doing wrong concerning him".

And I thought Deezul was the only one. He does the same thing when he groans in his sleep...sounds like a cow. He hasn't done the howling yet.
