Dogs and Classical Music

Dogs. Such cute, wonderful, loyal creatures. Really magical creatures that can burrow themselves into your heart and never let go. But sometimes that wonderful unconditional love can be tested. Severely tested. Especially if its an attention-ho and whines and yips and barks at you for loving-doggy-attention(belly-belly rub) at some ungodly hour, keeping you up and making you look prematurely 80 years old when u get up in the morning.


Hence, I have devised several tactics to combat this K-9 problem and save whatever is left of my beauty sleep.


Mission Impossible 1
MI 1: Screaming incessantly for 10 minutes till u start foaming at the mouth whilst reverting back to caveman form and banging your plastic slipper on the cage

Success Rate : 100 % for several days till your dog realizes that you are a toothless tiger



Mission Impossible 2
MI 2 (Part 1): Reverse tactics maneuvers must be taken aka....The Cold War.
MI 2 (Part 2): Ignore your dog till somebody somedog gives in, gotta show them who’s boss here!

Success Rate : 0% …has never worked for me



Mission Impossible 3
MI 3 : Play Classical Music, yes you read it right ( Canon in D highly recommended)


Success Rate : 100 %
It weirdly soothes my dog and calms her down until she falls asleep and becomes a breathing rug on the floor


Mission Accomplished!
