Staff came to me asking about playing music in the kennels for the dogs. I told them that it was a good idea. My only requirement was that they play only Enya. I feared that if the dogs had to listen to the music enjoyed by my staff, they would only hear rap music. The idea of providing background music is to calm the animals. I don’t know about you, but rap music only makes me angry.
I seem to remember that the kennels became quieter. My memory isn’t what it once was, so I can’t say that the effect of the music was real or imagined. I can’t remember whether my staff enjoyed it either. But I have fond memories of it. I guess that is what counts. The truth is that Enya is always better than hearing dogs bark. I am sure the dogs thanked me for not subjecting them to rap.
