sing songs

Does anybody ever make up songs using their pet's names and sing to them? Mine love it and can't stop wiggling. Or am I just a little crazy and need to be around people?

Also, does anyone have any good dog biscuit recipies? It seems all of the milkbone types, including "organics", give my dogs gas. It is so terrible it smells like skunk. Sometimes it makes my eyes water and burn. Probably not good to breath either. I know it is the treats and not my singing.

Any suggestions?

We do to the song bit!! We sing the scooby doo song, but we incorporate Yuki's name.
I don't think my singing will make my two happy....when the church needed singers in the choir our minister said unless you make the water stop in the shower, we want you...my husband and kids told me the water stops! Even my 2 1/2 yr old grandaughter even asks me not to sing now..Zoe sing Gram, not Gram! I give my two hot dogs for treats...I cut them up and microwave for 4 minutes...they will do anything for them and I used them to train them as well.
I always sang around the kitchen. Well not anymore. Since Howie joined our family my singing days are over. If I sing and he is sleeping, Howie bolts around the room and attacks me :twisted:

I tried to work with him and I tried to sing different songs.

I've asked other people to sing in front of Howie...no problem, he sits and twists his back and forth listening to them. Me I sing, he jumps and barks in my face.

Does Howie know something that I don't? :lmt:

No singing here.....church suffers enough. Weekday services I may be the only one there, priest isn't a good singer and neither am I...we make joyful noise.

As for recipes, don't we have the liver biscotti recipe here somewhere?? If not I can dig it out. Problem is it stinks up the house to make. Instead try the following: remember it may be something in the mix that disagrees with your dog......corn, soybean, something. You need to try various recipes......or just wing it...until you find out what is the offending (literally) item.

3 1/2 c. Unbleached flour
2 c. Whole wheat flour
1 c. Rye flour
2 c. Bulgur (cracked wheat)
1 c. Cornmeal
1/2 c. Instant dry lowfat milk
4 tsp Salt
1 env dry active yeast
1/4 c. Warm water
3 c. Chicken broth
1 x Egg slightly beaten w/ 1 tsp lowfat milk
Directions
Mix first 7 ingreds (up to yeast) in lg bowl w/wooden spoon. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add in to dry ingreds. Add in chicken broth and stir till dough forms. Let sit in warm area about 30 minutes. Roll out to 1/4" thickness. Cut out desired treat shapes and place on greased cookie sheets. Brush w/ egg mix (glaze). Bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees. Turn off oven; leave biscuits overnight to harden.
Yield: 30 lg bones Est.

If your pup doesn't tolerate milk, just sub some other liquid. If you don't want to mess with rye flower, use more whole wheat. Recipes aren't carved in stone, you basically make a dog yummy dough, bake it and let harden.

Peanutbutter dough, garlic dough....whatever you think might be dog yummy.
All of our pets have always had "theme songs" :lol: I find myself singing them to my dogs in public on occasion, to my deep embarrassment :oops: :oops: :oops:

We also have special "potty time" songs, which are even worse :roll: :oops: ("Come on potty people, put your paws in the AIR!") :banana:
Lol, Raven that cracked me up!

I don't sing in front of anybody except Gilligan ...guess I'm a secretive singer...and then I only sing to him....he seems to like being sung to. Places his head on my lap and sighs...dunno if that's a good thing or bad?
I make the shower water stop too. :oops:
Wayne is a bad singer but doesn't care so he sings songs about the dogs to them. They are frequently a bit rude. :evil: He usually remembers not to sing them when my Mom is staying. :phew:
My singing is terrible.

My dogs are a captive audience.

I sing at them all the time.

I can put their names into any and all songs. None are off limits.

Most of my dogs have either ignored me, or appear to like the attention.

Rudy, who is the most grateful to be alive dog I've ever met, wags his bum almost completely off when I sing to him. It's really gratifying.

My husband immediately leaves the room.

In my humble opinion this is yet another example of canine unconditional love...because you'd have to love me unconditionally to stay in the same room when I sing....and yes, I am aware of the implications of that statement with regard to my hubby.

(Hudson's favourite is Rawhide, with his name inserted instead of Rawhide...he sits on my lap and I sing and bump him up and down to the beat....as in Hudson Hudson Hudson, Hudson Hudson Hudson, Hudson Hudson Hudson, he's so bad.......) That's always good for a wagging bum and a big smile.
I sing songs to my girls all the time. I will put their name into the song and they get excited.
I sing to the dogs everyday!

Marley mostly gets "Mandy" since it works so well. I somehow manage to turn "Cecilia" into "Rudie Dog", and that is a house favorite. I also made up a "good morning" song that I sing to the dogs every morning.

I have an awful voice... Dave gets a kick out of it though.
I do Barney Barney bo Barney Banana Fanna fo farney Mee My Mo Marney... Barney!

Amongst other, more made up songs! (like Barney of the Mountain :oops: )
If I sing in the forest, will I make a noise that Oscar can hear??? :D Nope. I like to sing, and have a decent voice, meaning that if I sing a song, most folks would be able to identify it. Oscar doesn't mind the singing. It's the DANCING that makes him crazy! :lol:

Laurie and Oscar, the anti-dancer
''In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the panda cries tonight....INNN the jungle the mighty jungle, the panda sleeps tonight.....''

if im not ''locked'' in my glass shower enclosure, she usually jumps and nips at me when i sing....
Kaytee gets all excited when I sing to her. The 5,6,7,8's "Woo Hoo"
song (Vonage commercial, Kill Bill) is her call-to-action song. But it
has to be that particular song. 8) :lol:

Ahahaha! That's great!

I KNOW exactly what that is! You could sing any song around my Jake and no response. You could speak the words to the "Happy Birthday" song and nothing. But if you sang that song, he'd start to howl right away!

I really miss that.

We discovered it quite by accident when we called someone to sing them a happy birthday, and Jake joined in. We loved it.

:D How nice and funny - oh, I would have missed that too! :(

:tea: Here comes a Sheepie poem it coulld be nice to sing to our dogs:

MY HEART BELONGS TO AN OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG
I share my life
With an Old English Sheepdog,
Who charmed me from the start.
That lovely bobtailed ball of fur
Quickly stole my heart.

Stretched beside my chair at night,
Or playing--just us two,
A listening ear is always near
To tell my troubles to.

Devoted and intelligent,
Loyal to the end,
With a heart of purest gold-
My dog, my love, my friend.

:?: Anybody here who knows the melody to this nice poem?
To the tune of You Are My Sunshine:

You are my Sheepie,
My only Sheepie.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You'll never know, Gus,
How much I love you,
Please don't take my Sheepie away.

And Gus thinks I've lost my mind ....
Oh, I have so many! :oops:
The fav around here is
"Do the carrot"
(snack time)
Do-do-do- do the carrot!
To any crazy disco tune!
Pretty much the same over and over...
We all dance too, I suck, they are cute!

My two deaf dogs do not know how lucky they are! :lol:
