What My Dog Thinks About Her Daily Walk…

Each morning, I interrupt my dog’s life long personal research of eating and napping for a walk around the block.  In her younger days, we would go out for over an hour and cover several miles.  Now, she’s getting on and has arthritis in her shoulders and hips.  Despite her aches, her enthusiasm for the upcoming variety of smells is infectious and I’m sure this is what she’s thinking…
After a bit though, she looks at me and I’m sure singing the chorus to this….
Ah, well…  As long as the tail keeps wagging, we’ll keep doing what we do…  After all, a dog’s gotta dog!

Stumbled On This Memory (Of High Notes)

Memory Lane
Lyrics:
I stumbled on this photograph,
It kinda made me laugh
It took me way back,
Back down memory lane
I see the happiness,
I see the pain
Where am I?
Back down memory lane
I see us standing there,
Such a happy, happy pair
Love beyond compare,
Look-a-there, look-a-there
The way you held me,
No one could tell me that love would die
Ohh, why did I have to find this photograph,
Thought I had forgot the past
And now I’m slippin’ fast,
Oh, back down memory lane
I feel the happiness,
I feel the pain
Here am I,
Back down memory lane
I’m in the sunshine,
I’m in the rain
Thought it was over,
Here I go again
The way you held me,
No one could tell me
That love would die
I don’t wanna go traveling down
Faster than the speed of sound
Back down memory lane
Be still my foolish heart
Don’t let this feelin’ start
Back down memory lane
I don’t wanna go
Back down memory lane
Save me,
Save me
Back down memory lane
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me
Back down memory lane
