Dogs and music

Our mutt (part JRT and who knows what else) is certainly one of the musicians in our house. He LOVES when my husband plays the tenor sax. He will push open the door (which he almost never does for any other reason) and sings with him. When my daughter plays the oboe he will sign too, but not all the time. And he will sing when my son plays only certain songs on the piano - but consistently when he plays these songs.

The dog is about 3 years old and over the past couple years his signing has gotten better. He seems to be more on pitch. My daughter will actually harmonize (singing) with him and he holds his pitch. Needless to say it, is very amusing.

I am sure the dog is joining in on a family activity.

Recorded music or the television holds no interest for him, except an occasional doorbell.
