Frank and Dottie Put On an Old Record. Biscuit Had a Request.

A record spins on the turntable by the window, its smoky lid propped open, and the living room seems to hum along. Frank and Dottie sit close together on the couch in their cream cable-knit sweaters, smiling down at Biscuit, who sits on a woven blanket at their feet with his face tilted upward and his ears relaxed. Stacks of albums lean against the cabinet, a basket of yarn and blankets sits on the floor, a coffee mug and a pair of glasses rest on a little table, and a couple of dog toys are scattered nearby. Afternoon light pours through sheer curtains.

Dogs hear a wider range of sounds than people do and can pick up quieter noises, so loud music can be overwhelming for them. Keeping the volume moderate and letting your dog leave the room if they choose helps them stay comfortable. Some dogs seem to settle more easily with calm, slower music in the background. Record players and their cords can also attract curious pets, so keep cables tidy and out of reach, close the lid when you're done to protect the needle, and store records upright where paws and teeth can't get to them.

Whatever's playing, Biscuit seems happy to be part of the listening party. Some songs are just better when the whole family is together in the room.
