A New Era...

Our dog, Freddy,  passed away today. He was born in March, 2001. We rescued him from an animal shelter in Germany where we lived at the time. He was only a few weeks old then, and he has since been a member of the family for 16.5 years. A ripe old age for a dog, but never-the-less his passing makes us sad. 

How does my dog relate to pianos? Well, first of all, he was a musical dog. When we would sing, he would run under the piano and join in. Most of the time I was louder. Sometimes I would sing a soft song by Schubert, and he would tone down his howl to match. Very sensitive! I think he was his loudest and most joyful when Melissa, my daughter, would play double-stops on her violin. That really hit a nerve with Freddy. 
Then, he seemed to want to make the piano his own. He did that the way male dogs do, and it was a constant cause of irritation for us! I guess those solid, black Yamaha grand piano legs were too much to resist! 

I could write a lot more words about Freddy, but I will save them for myself and my family who knew him best. After a long, eventful life, there is a lot of reminiscing to do, lots of fun memories to share. We have no plans to replace him. He was one-of-a-kind after all! And life will be different for us without a pet, but we look forward to the challenge!
