All these dog songs are are really great! Maybe I can work them into some afternoon sessions with the kids after the funeral. Some of the kids have dogs too, mostly little yip yippers or Chihuahas becuase they live in apartments but adults who walk their big dogs are known to stop by and bring their doggies if they see the kids hanging out in the yard.

Maybe one way to assuage our grief would be to have a party for all the other dogs in a couple weeks and sing a bunch of fun songs about dogs and play some of these new ones like the line Dancin' dog. They'd love that. I could make up Doggie Goody bags for the other dogs with all the treats, chew bones and rawwide stix I have leftover. I used to by Puppers' fave chewies in bulk but he declined to chew much in the past few months. I have some nice Cow Kneecaps and dried Sheeps lungs too! We can make some dog-friendly 'Pup-Cakes" and I can even bake up some homamade liversnaps. Could be fun, eh? I bet we can round up a dozen dogs easily.

It would be a good way to let the neighborhood know that I still want them to bring their poochies by to play in the yard evenings and weekends. Some people have stayed away because they think I will see their dog and get all sad and upset. Nothing could be further from the truth!


As for the song -
Some of us have been rehearsing our version of Your Are My Sunshine but find some of lines a little awkward to sing. Any suggestions for smoothing it out some? Now that all the basic sentiments are in there, any tweaks or word switcheroos you might suggest would be welcome.
