Ollie came to live with me in 2011 after we met at the humane society. We fell in love right away- after some years on our own- we moved into a shared housing situation, and I'll let the song tell the rest of the story.
A hallway kiss
Led to this
Who would've guessed
We'd end up so blissfully finessed?
I think Ollie knew
Don't you?
He knew all along
We'd fall in love
Right from the start
He captured your heart
My little dog
was playing cupids' dart
Yeah Ollie knew
He always knew
This was gonna be
More than just some puppy love
He brings out the best in everyone
Even when he's barking in the kitchen
A treat is all that he requests
Who would've guessed
We'd end up so blissfully finessed?
The Alpha male
Wags his tale
His hair gets everywhere
And we don't care
Ollie knew
He always knew
We were gonna be
one big happy family
In love
In love
In love

:) Lovely. More than just a puppy love is wonderful here.
Oh our doggos where would we be without them!
Enjoyed much as my Cooper is asleep on my foot under my desk. !

What a great, serene song with such a lovely country-tune! So sweet to write a song about/for a dog... There are not too many songs of this kind, I guess... It is great fun to listen to it!

What a fun song! Any dog owner can definitely relate! This is so sweet! Very nicely played and sung. I loved the expression in the vocal, it made me smile.

As a dog owner too, i totally dig that song! Loved the joyfull and upbeat vibe here!

Firstly: ADORABLE.
Second, the little riff right after that first verse is fabulously fun - really emphasizes the mood set by the lyrics.
Please give Ollie a treat for me.

Truth in silliness.

Gee this is great. Lovely subject matter and a song that wipes the frown from your face. Nicely done.
