Hi Snuffy
I was gonna mention "Bellman" but you were already there with it. I was tickled that you followed up with Ol Shep. It was a right proper thing to have followed it up with too. I was at a session, it's gotta be 20-25 years ago & the great fiddler Seamus Connelly ask me to sing something (he used to do that to when he wanted a break) so I did Bellman & he followed it up with the Doris Day song on fiddle & did a wonderful job too, mind you of "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window". I now say that I been twice honored by singing that song, I guess it's just a good luck song for me & a good one to bury a dog by too.

Another dog song I've always been fond of is "The Hound Dawg Song" also called "They Gotta Quite Kicking my Dog Around". Not really a dead dog song but it is a howl. Droole!
