Of cats and dogs and (prog) music...

I am not a good singer whatsoever, but my dogs have always liked me to sing to them.  One of my dogs, when I first got him, was really noise-sensitive, and it took me a while for him to listen to my harp practice (no, I'm not THAT bad! LOL).  Eventually, he came to quite enjoy hanging out at my feet when I played.  He never did learn to tolerate the sound of the psaltery though (played with a bow), so I still haven't learned to play that.  This particular dog, loved a song I made up about going to doggie daycare, which he loved to do, so whenever I would start to sing that song, he'd jump up and come running, wagging his tail. 

When my husband was alive, all the dogs and cats would flock to the music room whenever he played piano, in particular.  I also have a friend who has an African Grey parrot, who is very particular about the music he likes and doesn't like, and lets her know in no uncertain terms about it.
