my dog actually lies down in front of me when I play.(and hes a very frisky black lab normally, and wants to play all the time) Another fiddle players dog (she was a beginner) used to leave the room when she played but stayed for me, she didnt take it too personally though. A friends cat jumps into her lap and tries to stop her whenever she plays the high register on the whistle (like she thinks that carol is in pain or something) And yet another friends cat casey, runs into the room whenever she plays a certain reel. . How about some dog poetry.

Are you going to eat that? Are you going to eat that? . . . I could eat that. (sam)
