Song and Dance For the Dogs

Tweet

My dogs get a bit testy when I feed them. This, because I make them listen to my little song first: "You're the fattest little puppies That I have ever saw. You're fat fat Fat fat fat Fat fat fat fat fat." Giving them a bit of soft shoe in the process. Their grave brown eyes stare at me first, then at the bowl, and occasionally they lick their lips a bit. Not to worry; I just give two renditions before the feeding begins. They slurp it down so quick, the whole experience ends minutes later. Other times, I serenade my girls for no apparent reason: "Punky the dog Punky the dog Getting fatter and fatter And looking like a hog." They appear pretty oblivious, but I at least enjoy my performance. It may seem I spoil my animals, and in some ways I do, but, they have no doubt who in the family is the pack leader. I do have rules of behavior for them, and they are generally pretty good adhering to them.
