I get used for a pillow if Iâm playing fiddle.
My furniture is kept covered as wellâŚcovers are not as pretty but easier to replace when torn up.

My daughter Meli plays this one on the fiddle and itâs driving her crazy trying to remember the name of this Tune. Whatâs the name?
Nice picking! Itâs cool that your dogs like it.
Itâs called the cliffs of Moher
Meli says âŚâOh yeahâŚthatâs right!.â Thank-you Gunnar!
When I sit down with the banjo (or mandolin) next to my dog, she gives me a hard stare, gives me a little growl (if itâs the banjo) and moves as far away as possible. I wish a had a bluegrass loving dog. Or a bluegrass loving family.
Both my dogs love it when I play. Duke gets as close to me as he can. They both go to sleep when I play. Not sure if that is a good or bad sign So glad I have dogs that enjoy bluegrass.
@Fiddle_wood, Cant really see it because he is so dark, but the black dogâs got his head on my leg like a pillow, I know what you mean! & yes while those mismatched sheets dont look the best, theyâre super easy to keep clean & swap out, unlike upholstery!
@D_HRRFan7303 your dogâs kinda like my sisterâs dog but a little braver⌠you cant even sit near him, hes long gone as far away as possible with freaked out eyes so big they look like theyâre gonna pop out of his head! I guess youâve gotta start them off young? Ours are all rescue dogs, & under a year old when we got them from the pound.
@Dragonslayer Thank you! I was pretty sure you knew that one! Iâve been breaking up camp practice songs (not going as good as Iâd like them to go ) with Irish songs cuz tis the season and theyâre so fun to play. The dogs & the cats like it. I will say dogs are much easier to pick with than cats. Dogs sit on your feet, lean on you like a pillow, but the cats, they actually get up on you
@Lone_Wolf yup ours love it two (we have 3 dogs) &they all like it & actually the two in the vid were trying to go to sleep, & Iâve also wondered, âman is this so bad Iâm putting them to sleep or so good theyâre content enuff to sleep!â Iâm definitely overanalyzing lolđ¤Ł!!
I know what you mean. My dogs donât like the vacuum cleaner but theyâre ok with my banjo playing so at least i donât sound like the vacuum cleaner Thatâs a little reassuring
Mine either they bark their fool heads off over it.
So then its agreed at least neither of us sound like the vacuum !
Mine look at the vacuum and walk around it close to the wall as they can
Good job @Simone Next time your sisters dog visits, give the a few minutes to smell the mandolin before you play. Play some low notes and let the : sniff again. Then give the a treat. Repeat the process a few times soon he/she will be snuggling on the sofa with the other dogs whilst you play.
Just one final question. Is your sister **petrified ** of the mandolin. It could be that she is passing on her apprehension to the dog.
Sounds great @Simone . I remember an episode of The Andy Griffith Show where a goat stays calm with Barneyâs harmonica playing. For the record your mandolin sounds better than Barneyâs harmonica.
Ours is a rescue too, got her around 12 weeks, but I didnât start playing music for a few months after we got her.
And A LOT better than Barneyâs cymbalsâŚ
Definitely better than his singing voice
