Our thirteenth "aDOGption" anniverary is 2 February, commemorated in song. Lucky me...
The best dog
© jean mann 2022 blue flower friday records
You’re my sunny boy blue
Oh how I adore you
To the moon, stars, the sunshine and the sea
You’re in my dearest thoughts
And often in my way
My furry shadow following me
Your nicknames are sundog, sunshine and poodle
I know it’s an entirely different dog from you-dle
I can picture you with a curly perm
When its time for a walk
You’re ready to go
Even if you’re sleeping
Shake off your little bones
We ride in the car
To all the best trails
Nose on the window
Wagging your tail
Running around the beach
paws digging in the sand
Playin’ “Who’s a good boy” til the sun goes down again
I cherish every day with you
You put up with me dressing you in coats
I know you have your own fur coat
But you shiver in the sun
Your comfort is utmost my little plum
You sit by the heater
In days gray and drab
You lick my nose
with breath of Dungeness crab
And when it’s your time to go
My heart will quiver
And tears will fill a river
I’ll love you the rest of my days
You’re the best dog of the day

@sheilerk he really is the best! I might be a tad biased, but….

"You're the best dog of the day, who's a good boy", oh my. Just touches my heart! Wonderful pickin' on the uke, and sweet honest vocals too. <3

@jdschramm thank you Josh. He’s a cutie alright.

@skyezor thank you. I’ve written many FAWM sunny songs over the years having him, being as the anniv. always falls during FAWM. As he gets older, I never know what song may be the last….️

@leslie333 thank you. I can’t wait to hear your song for your kitty. Butterscotch is a great name!
@bluejean Feb 2022
Thank you @bootlegger ️

That is a cute dog! Love a love song for your dog.
@skyezor Feb 2022
What a delightful dog-ode! I really enjoy how this song ends up expressing big emotions while being very playful and casual feeling. Well done!
@leslie333 Feb 2022
Aw this is so adorable! I'm tearing up. Very wonderful little song. I hope the song I have in the wings about my kitty Butterscotch will be half as good!
@bootlegger Feb 2022
Love your voice/melodies in this. Such a sweet song.
