Yes, Sally,
sorry,
but dogs sniff at me (and I don't know what they're sniffing for!)
and they used to the more
when I lived with two cats
(who sometimes bullied me!)
but were usually as kind and appreciative and warm
and gentle (and all these kinds of words those who don't live with animals
probably don't find interesting, in relation to animals, I mean!)
but who didn't care much about recorded music
(yet) didn't like music played in the house...
and didn't, themselves, like dogs...
but all this is something else!
Bob
