Note for pedants..
A DOONA might be a douvet ( I can't define a douvet) but it's rarely an
EIDERDOWN.
EIDER DOWN = the fine soft down of the EIDER duck, or a bed QUILT stuffed
with EIDER down.
A QUILT (noun) is made by placing some soft, low density substanceetween
two layers of material and cross-stiching it into place.
Most DOONAS are stuffed with CHOOK feathers or some synthetic wadding and to
further confuse the issue I don't think many are QUILTed too well these days.
CHOOK @-----.

Contrary to what Christina said, I don't that we (Australians) speak an
adulterated version of English (best left to Ameicans, Canadians, New
Zealanders, S. Africans etc..)
Anyway, the implication seems to be that domesticated dogs are universally
tuned to C1.
I wonder whether their tuning note lowers as size increases.
I should really be doing some real work...
regards,
Tim
