In the mornings I like to sit out on the back deck with a cup of coffee and strum my guitar softly. My dogs seem to really enjoy it also. They lay in the grass or slowly wander about, occasionally they are startled by a low flying hawk or a squirrel that happens to pass into their general proximity, but basically they feel safe and content as long as they can hear me and know that I am nearby. Like the shepherd who sings or plays the flute, it provides a reassuring audio boundary.
Interestingly, they have learned the endings to all my songs and when they hear me ending a song they look up to see if I'm going to leave or play another one.
