I have been dogless the last couple of years. I played tons of guitar for my first Aussie mix, Jasmine. She would get into it, especially if I had a friend over. Howling and singing along. That was 11 years of canine song fare.
I waited a year then got another Aussie mix named Tippy. This one slept.
I am off for a bike ride now and I sure wish I had one of these aussies for the field ride. Herding dogs are so needy. I am reluctant (or selfish) to get another smart- busy one. But they have a huge place in my heart.
I do want to get a Lowden someday too. They seem less needy? Just general acoustic maintenance and let them rest in their case when my other self absorbed pursuits arise.
