Sticky Barking

When your dogs are barking at everyone else in the street's business but their own!

What are those dogs barking at?
Who Knows, they're sticky barking at the neighbours again.

that's my bark to peel

The phrase "that's my bark to peel" refers to an artistic concept wherein an artist is to decide the meaning and content of their art. It can also be used in a similar way to "that's my axe to grind", meaning that it's your business to deal with.

"That's my bark to peel" as in "that's my art to create", "that's my bark to peel" as in "I dictate the meaning of my piece". In some ways this idiom can lie directly contrary to the artistic concept of The Death of the Author, a concept which has the viewer as the decider on the pieces meaning.

This idiom was created by Canadian writers Andy Zuliani and Cassie Mifflin based off Mifflin's short story "Cold Pudding and the Last Great Maritimer" wherein she included a line after her bark was stolen by artist Ruben Moller where she said "That's my bark to peel". Andy would then go on to coin the phrase's meaning while discussing her work and then further what that moment meant, telling her that "If a professor is ever making you tear apart your work more than you'd like, just tell them 'that's my bark to peel.'"

Death Bark

When a dachshund fucks you up the ass with his snout and then you shit out your dick.

Dude last night was crazy. I was in bed and all the sudden my dog just started giving me a death bark. It hurt like a bitch.

barking up shit's alley

When you think you know what you're talking about but you don't have all the information and you're basically full of shit.

I'm pretty sure that doctor pushed his wife off that cliff in Hawaii because he was having a bad reaction to antidepressant medication but I could just be barking up shit's alley.
