I realized something today while reading one of Rachael's posts. She and I are freakily alike in that we sing the same songs to our dogs. Maybe that explains why they're both crazy ... or we're both crazy, either or.

We all know we do it ... we sing songs to our chis and make up new lyrics, etc. What songs do you sing to your chis?

I sing Amazing Grace, This Land is Your Land and a song OmaKitty and I made up on our way home the first day we were together ... You Are My Kitty (derived from You Are my Sunshine). On ocassion, we will sing Elvis' "Hound Dog," "American Pie" and mine and Cooper's favorite song "What Would Willie Do?" by Bruce Robison.

We will also sing French childrens songs like "Sur le pont d'Avignon" and "Qand les dames". I like my chi to be tri-lingual.

I was in a speciality dog shop in Myrtle Beach, SC and found this CD that is only dog songs. I got it as a joke to my husband, but it has really cute songs on it. So when Coco rides with me we listen to the CD and sing along. The name is "Dog Songs."

I usually sing Good Morning Beautiful to Bandit when we get up in the morning. My husband says we make him sick and rolls his eyes, but Bandit loves it!

Well, you can add me to your group of weirdos :lol: I used to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to Tia too. And on the day I drove her to my vets for the last time to be PTS, I sang it to her. I found out recently that Rachael used to sing the same song to Gracie and sang it to her on the way to the vet to have her PTS. How weird is that?

I don't sing much to Jazzy - probably because when I try she looks at me like I'm nuts - my voice is pretty bad..... :lol:

The song I sing to Chassis

is, "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day, and when it's cold outside I've got the month of may" That's all I know of the song, but she love's it and she knows it's just for her.. Now Smidgen, she could careless if I sing to her.

I sing a lot of Christmas songs to Lily, mainly because I know the words. :lol: Where I don't know the words, of course I make them up (don't tell Lily). Jingle Bells sung at a slow pace is one of our favorites, O Holy Night and of course Silent Night. I also sing an old song by the Four Tops called Sugar Pie (sugar pie honey bunch, you know that I loooove you, can't help myself, I love you and nobody else). I made up a song called Sweet Potato Pie and I sing that to her too.

But "our" song is Paul McCartney's "I Will" (love you forever and forever, love you with all my heart, love you whenever we're together, love you when we're apart). There couldn't possibly be a more appropriate song for me and Lily.

OMG it is torture for my boys to hear me sing, so I try to limit how much I do it! I sing to music when I clean the house, makes the work go by so much faster! :wink:

So I don't sing anything directly to them or they might hide from me! :lol: :lol:

LOL OmaKitty leaves the room when I start singing. She has taste. Cooper, on the other hand, gets excited and comes to listen. The poor thing; he loves his mommy so much that he'll take that kind of torture.

That's "My Girl" by The Temptations. Great, great song. You should do an online search for the rest of the words and sing the whole thing to her.

I use common tunes but always use my words, my husband gets jealous and wants me to sing with silly words to him.......I know he's odd :lol: I used to do that when we dated I guess since it was his gig first he wants equal time
