“What’s that sound?”
Do you like it?
“No. It’s annoying.”
It’s Through a Dog’s Ear, Volume 1.
“What, you mean like Sticking Knitting Needles Through a Dog’s Ear, Volume 1? ‘Cause that’s how annoying it is.”
It’s just classical music.
“What’s it for?”
To relax dogs.
“Which dogs? The stupid ones?”
All dogs.
“Oh. Well, then feed me Friskies and call me a cat, ‘cause this noise is just pissing me off.”
You just yawned, though.
“Huh? Oh. Well, being this annoyed is exhausting.”
Oh, okay. Sure.
“I tell you what. You want me to relax? Feed me jerky and scratch my ears.”
I do that. It doesn’t calm you down.
“You don’t do it long enough! You keep stopping!”
What?
“You keep coming up with excuses!”
What excuses?
“’What excuses.’ Oh, please. It’s always, ‘No Iggy, I’m typing.’”
Well, if I’m working from home I need to–
“Or ‘No Iggy, I’m trying to sleep,’ or ‘No Iggy, I’m driving,’ or ‘No Iggy, I have to go to work now.’”
Well, if you–
“And then you just stop! There I am, no jerky, ears unscratched! You’ve always got some excuse to say ‘No Iggy, no Iggy, no Iggy!’”
Oh, now–
“And what about when I wanna eat the laundry? ‘No Iggy, no Iggy, no Iggy.’ All the time!”
You yawned again.
“Huh? Well… I’m bored! Bored with your excuses!”
Laying down, are you?
“Bored… zzzzzzz…”
Aaaaannd he’s out like a light. That album might be the best ten bucks I ever spent.
The Iggy Dialogues 
I need to buy that album!!!
To be fair, I’m not sure if the music relaxed him, or if he was going to nap anyway. But it certainly didn’t get him riled up, which is always good. 🙂
Please tell me where you bought that album… think I will play it in an endless loop :o)
Downloaded from iTunes. There are a number of volumes, and they don’t work for every dog — but I thought it might be worth checking out.
THX. I will try them all, maybe I find the one what gives me 10 minutes to relax :o)
Your dog is so adorable! Very photogenic. 🙂
I’d say thanks, but I had nothing to do with it — he was already like that when we adopted him. 🙂
Oh poor Iggy!! So badly done to!
Hugs, Carrie and Pups x
Ok I guffawed at the line “And what about when I wanna eat the laundry?” – Great stuff as always!
Aw, thanks! And yeah, he does like to run around the house with bits of laundry in his mouth. Strange pup.
