Recent addition to list of sounds I am not likely to soon forget.

Puppy screams are similar. My sister's dog is very good at making puppies under three months scream as if they're about to die. Usually he's just scared the crap out of them, but at least two required medical attention after he snapped at them (one got stitches, the other got a black eye). In my sister's dog's defense, when she picked him up as an 8 week old puppy, he had a cut over his right eye because his father didn't take kindly towards Holden's attempts at nursing. He's caught up in the cycle of abuse.
I've never heared anything worse than adorable, cute puppies screaming at the top of their lungs, convinced that the big monster is going to kill them. It's hard to figure out whether or not he's actually hurt them at first because they won't stop screaming for awhile.
