Barry_Finn - I thought of How Much is That Doggie in the Window and so did the kids. Had we not gotten off to such a smashing start with Your Are My Sunshine, I was considering using Doggie In the Window for the tune to our tribute.

We're doing very well with genie's version of Our Doggie Sunshine and things should go very well tomorrow. All that's left to do is go pick up his ashes.

I am going to sugest the idea of an Autumn festival party for the other doggies if this goes well. After discussing it with the children, they expressed an interest in having bobbing for apples and other suitable activities. We'll most likely have to hold it in mid to late october. That should give it enough distance from the memorial so they won't be sad to come back over to our yard. The kids really would like a shot at singing some of the other songs that were mentioned. They had no idea there were so many poems and songs about dogs.

Thanks again. We're going to send Puppers off with style and then have a happy dog party in a month or less. Everybody wins!
