Doug;
 On three occasions, that I remember, I have done this.  On one occasion I 
wouldn't even stay long enough to tune the piano. Seems the man of the house 
loved to play the piano for his dogs (three dogs) and he kept the piano and 
dogs in a back bedroom. when he opened the bedroom door there were the dogs 
with the piano and the floor was covered with urine and dog droppings....the 
smell was rather "aromatic" don't ya know!!
  I really don't recall 'exactly' what I said but it wasn't 
nice......strange.... he never called back for his tuning :-)
