 Two dumb questions:
 
 1. Do music lovers/ musical instrument players have greater tendency to have pets than those who are not ?
 
 2. Is this affection towards animals/pets related to our music making?
 
 (I have three hamsters and a dog.)
 
 Happy clarinetting to all.

 Dunno. I only have a couple of dust bunnies but they hardly count as pets.

 I think that music lovers tend to have pets as much as music haters.  I have a German Shepherd that enjoys licking my clarinet when it is on it's stand and I am not looking.  I hate that!  You would think I would learn not to leave it available for her but I guess I am a slow learner.  She has learned to ignore any and all of my mistakes when I play clarinet.  I have trained her well.

 I have a cocker spaniel and a Siberian husky.  Abbey (the cocker) howls when I practice, but Boris is outside and doesn't complain.

 When it howls while you're practising on the clarinet, try a harmonica (aka bluesharp). Hannibal (the family dog way back) would start howling instantly.

 My parents have a dog, and whenever I'm at their house, she bolts out of any room in which I'm playing my clarinet or, especially, my sax.  It's funny to me that a 65lb siberian husky/australian shepherd is so scared of a clarinet.  I wonder what she must be thinking when I play?

 Coco also goes out of the room I'm practising, especially when I'm toward altissimo register.^^
