For the last couple of days, Jane and I have been dog-sitting again, providing a bit of respite for someone who went into hospital for a major operation. Dogs normally have sensitive hearing but not this one. My evidence for that is that I went ahead with my regular Friday morning banjo session yesterday and she didn’t bat an eyelid. She let out a couple of low moans while she was dreaming but raised not a whimper about the loud, enthusiastic and not always fully masterful banjo playing that was going on! As a hearing test, I’d say that was pretty conclusive.
