I always thought he loved music....
When I play hammered dulcimer, Stormy curls up contentedly under the h.d.
When I play mountain dulcimer, he sits beside me so that my left elbow rests upon him
When I attempt bowing my McSpadden, he sits on the floor in front of me, staring at me, in attack position. Hmmmm..... Maybe this isn't yet "music."

Been there. Give it time. Animals sometimes take a a while to warm up to the sustain of a bowed dulcimer, especially when the instrument you are playing was not designed to be bowed.

I knew I was improving when my toy poodle no longer left the room when I started playing. He still gives me dirty looks on the higher notes, though.

I knew I was really getting better when my little dog Biscuit came in, curled up and went to sleep as I practiced. Now that's what I call a good review!

Ken, Wonder if we're related via poodles. We could do an genealogy search. Biscuit and Casey look so much alike they could be twins (or at least cousins).

Related by poodle?? Why not. I think that makes for a wonderful family. I have two, the good dog and the bad dog. Biscuit is the good dog. He is a very serious animal with scrupulous attention to duty. Bela, on the other hand, is a little tart and party girl. They couldn't be more diverse. Biscuit is the music lover. Bela doesn't have the patience.

It will get better I promise. It is a duel thing with animal acceptence - you gradually get better, and they gradually become immune...
