<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: "should I stay or should I go?"- David Anderson</TITLE= > </HEAD> <BODY> <BLOCKQUOTE>I tune at a home where there are two Brittany Spaniels.  O= ne has always tried to sing along with me as I tune--the other is usually qu= iet.  The owners are NOT home when I tune.  I now have the owners = put the "singer" outside before they leave for work.  That ha= s been working for the last 2 years.  Last month when I went to tune th= e piano the howler was outside and I got right to it.  But somehow, ove= r the past 6 months, the "quiet" one must have learned to sing. &n= bsp;He started immediately trying to match pitch as I moved up the keyboard.=  After 5 minutes the "outside one" started singing too. &nbs= p;It was really hysterical.  I finally had had enough, so I looked the = Inside dog straight in the eye and said, "STOP".  He looked b= ack at me with a questioning expression, stopped for about 30 seconds and th= en started again.  I had to command him 3 more times and finally he wen= t quiet for the rest of the tuning.        Sherry </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
