Re: howling dog

My dog howled a lot when I was playing more violin, and still sometimes howls when I'm playing clarinet. At first I assumed he was bothered by the music, but when he started running into the room to howl along, I realized it must be instinctual.

I think it's interesting that his reactions to violin and clarinet are different, so obviously he can hear the difference in tone. He howls a lot at violin, no matter what I'm playing; on clarinet he only howls sometimes, at certain types of music, and if I get too close to him while playing he gets up and moves elsewhere (maybe it's too loud compared to violin?)

Sometimes I'll try to mimic his howls by glissandoing on clarinet, which will often make him howl even more.
