MUSICAL DOG AND CAT EARS

Reggie is ready to Rant 'n Rave!

RANT!

Morning television is a diversion which I dial in and out of with regularity. As a non-morning person, early morning chatter mostly just hurts my entire being.

Occasionally, a tiny nugget will register and be worthy of closer inspection. This happened the other day and I do wonder if it has credence.

Have you seen or heard of music being used to calm pets?

There are many on this bandwagon and something called, Through a Dog's Ear, wants us to believe it.

Doing a bit (didn't knock myself out, to be honest) of research, I discovered there is quite a lot of animal (even horses) calming tunes to be had (some are gonna cost ya, but some are free on YouTube).

Evidently, the most devilish of pets will settle down and behave like little angels if put in hearing distance of certain musical strains.

Classical seems to be the order of the day, but I gotta tell you that listening to some of this stuff had ME feeling like barking and howling for the moon.

If I had a zany type pet, I would give it a go.

But, the pets I know don't really seem to need special music to behave like little angels (yes, they can be devilish here and there...nothing is perfect).



Here is a sample for YOUR ears.

RAVE?



My jury is still out, but this clip is much better than some I listened to.

What do YOU think? A rave for your pet?

Bitchin' Bloggin', Ranting ,Raving and Rating

Reggie here with a warm welcome as Reggie's Rating Radar launches today.

That silence you hear is the Planet Earth not giving a tiny rat's ass.

As that has never stopped me before, why listen to the sounds of silence at this point?

Blogging can be a bitch, but I like the agony of it all and continue to wait for Ecstasy to start dropping in to see what condition my condition is in.

This blog is, it is hoped, a platform for frank and honest discussions about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

If not all that, then ranting and/or raving about whatever is on our, so-called, minds.

To kick it off, let me kick-start the shenanigans with a BRIEF RANT.

Arnold Palmer. The drink. You know, half-ice-tea and half-lemonade.


Well, feast your eyes upon the way it was served to be recently at a restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens called, Brio. The waiter slapped it down (after being asked repeatedly for the drink) in two parts...for me to mix.

Don't get me wrong, I do it all the time.

At HOME!!

Never, and I mean NEVER have a server slammed down TWO glasses and said...well, he said nothing.

Fortunately, the top-tier manager of Brio was quick to act (after we went through the bottom-tier manager first) and quickly turned our rant into a raving-rate.

Anything like this happen to you?

More Rating Radar from Reggie, very soon!
