What pets hang out with Audiophiles?


We seem to be on a roll with this type of thread - cars, watches, etc.

What pets do audiophiles have? Do they hang with you while you're listening or run for cover? I have a couple dogs (shelties) and a couple sets of fish. Neither listen with me. Anything exotic out there? -Kirk

well so far the dogs cats, birds & fish have reported in. Two cats at our house as well; one Siamese (hers) & one Ally cat (mine). On the more exotic side, we also have a female Fox squirrel named (what else) Rocky, who actually is a housepet. She's 8 years old (quite old for a squirrel) has her own bedroom, her own nest-house atop the refrigerator, & her own very large outdoor kennel. She stays indoors for the most part, but does like to go outdoors only when the weather is warm enough. I found her in the yard as a tiny baby, fallen from the nest at age 4 weeks with her eyes & ears still closed. We consulted a wildlife rehabber & attempted to train Rocky for a natural outdoor life, but as predicted when the time came to release her she wanted nothing to do with it. After just 3 days outside it became quite clear that she preferred her indoor life with us, & so she was allowed back indoors much to her relief. She climbs up & down our clothing, rides on our shoulder, plays with toys, has chewed on everything in the house (including one incident involving an expensive speaker cabinet) but nonetheless she's a very unique & much beloved little pet.
Hi Ang I thought I had previously explained that in an email? If not, & for those with a need-to-know, she 'takes care of business' on an absorbent disposable piddle-pad (a puppy-training pad) located on a windowsill. The pad is of course replaced with a new one a couple times per day. Rocky knows where it's located & will make her own way there at times, when we don't pick up on her cues. There have occasionally been a few accidents; ever experience a golden-shower via squirrel? Didn't think so ;-)
