| Re: Trumpet vs. Dog
My dog sleeps in the room while I practice (snoring loudly!), even when I practice picc! Once in a while I take her to the bandroom with me if I have to pick something up at night, and one night a friend was there practicing. He tried and failed to make friends with her (she doesn't trust men), and went back to practicing. As soon as she heard a trumpet, she went up to him wagging! That just proves I've trained her right!;)
The cat's don't mind trumpets and go about their normal business when I practice, but as soon as my husband's french horn comes out they flatten their ears and run. It's not that he's a bad hornist - I think they just hate the overtones! They especially freak out if he warms up with the bell off.
