All well and good, Flora, but keep in mind that the dog's birthday is just an excuse for PEOPLE to get together and enjoy each other's company. Too many dog songs with lyrics will distract from that.

But of course you should be prepared to lead 'Happy Birthday.'

If I were you, I'd do a couple of dog songs, then move on to your old favorites. As an experienced musician once told me, 'People like what they already know.'
