Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me on Sunday! It’s the first Monday, almost, of a new month which means we have a new honorary co-host. Let’s give a round of applauds to John from The Sound of One Hand Typing! 👏 Today’s theme, he suggests us to come up with Songs about dogs (or any pets) in honor of the end of the Dog Days of summer. Are you ready to dance?
I don’t have any pets but in honor, of the first pet, I remember my first song choice is the new2me tune by Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears Sugarfoot because that was the name of my pup. I betcha money I named or maybe it was my daddy who named the little terrier after the old western TV series (1957-1961).
When DH & I were dating I found a stray orange tabby which I took home. I blanked on giving my little fella a name, so I asked DH to help. He came with a good as any name ‘FRED Bear Jam’ (Ted Nugent).
After DH & I got married, I wanted a kitten. He really didn’t want one but he got one for me. I called around trying to find one until I finally found a pet store in the Sears at West Town Mall. They had one kitten. When I asked how much, the purrson said, if you come to get it, you can have it. We can’t keep the thing in its cage because he’s so tiny and then it’s a chore to catch him. That’s all it took. We headed out and claimed our first furbaby. At home later the same evening, we were cooing over the cute charcoal gray bundle of energy while he lapping up left-over gravy while we figured out his name when I said, why don’t we call him ‘Groovy GRAVY‘?
Unfortunately, Gravy’s life was short but we won’t talk about that. This is to be a happy post. Since we had good fortune getting a kitten at the pet store in Sears, we returned seeking another and while we didn’t find one quite so young, we did find a lovely calico, we name Christopher and the first mewsician that came to mind is the 80s chart-topper, Christopher Cross. Here’s a YouTube playlist featuring some of his best songs.
On behalf of the 4M crew, we’re so happy you joined our party today.
Please read…this is a mewsic linky party, which means all participates are sharing songs that one can listen to from YouTube or Vimeo and a not a post about mewsic or mewsicians. Failure to meet this basic guideline puts your URL in danger of being removed or labeled – NO MUSIC.
