Do you sing to your dog?

[AtlasPine]

And if you do, do you make up loving nonsense or choose a real song?

So sorry 💔

I sing the Rufus Wainwright song to her that is her name

Of course! Doesn't everyone?

Various songs, with various changes for words to suit him. I also sing to myself in his voice. Songs like 'Mum, Mum - where's my dinner, I'm getting thinner...'

To no particular tune.

long ago a animal trainer told me to make a song for all /each animals /went in the hospital for a month the people taking
care of the babies knew the songs for each/ knew they were safe
going in again in thurs everyone knows thiers songs
it all makes stressless for them

So many songs, I change words to include their names and doggy things like food, treats, brush, ball, toy. 😂

They both love howling along to Country Roads.

Taylor Swifts Out of the Woods is changed to Shall we go to the Woods when we are going for walkies as there’s woodland behind our house.

Ed Sheerans Perfect is for dancing round the kitchen holding them like a baby with various words changed. ‘I found a doggy, fluffier than anyone I know.....’

We are completely normal. 🤪

@Sarahtm35 I also sing this to my dog. Im a terrible singer but he loves it 😝

Same! 😂

🎶I love you Ralphie
and if it’s quite alright
I need you Ralphie
To warm my lonely nights…🎶

I sing to my dogs

Oh, you quality dog!
You great, big, quality dog!
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh, you quality dog!
You great, big, quality dog!
If you ever leave me how my heart would ache
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, You Quality dog!

The other songs I sing to her are
Maggie May
1980s song Mickey but Mickey changed to Maggie
Rupert the Bear changed to Maggie the Dog
Brown Eyed Girl
Let's Go Round Again, my version is Let's go Round the Park
(Showing my age here) the old Sham69 song Hurry up Harry. My version is Hurry up Maggie. The chorus of the original version is 'we're going down the pub'. My version is 'we're going down the park'. Unless of course we are going down the pub in which case she gets the original version.

I sing
‘Feed the dogs,
Tuppence a bone…’
at dinner time.

and

‘He’s Mr Nosey Paws’ (He’s Mr Know it all) every time he follows me into the kitchen to see what I’m getting out of the fridge.

I hold mine like a baby and sing silly songs to her. I love it, but she looks at me like I’m a loony !

Of course I sing to him.

"La Bohème" by Charles Aznavour is now "La Baballe" (endearing term for "ball").
"Hello, is it meat you're looking for" is a classic at home at meal time.

Of course. DP has a song to sing them when they are minding the house too that he made up and sings every time we leave them alone. Its stuck in my head so much now when the kids are going to be home alone I sing it to them too. Obvs I change the names.

Haha, always! Currently it’s his nickname and “little ginger dog” to the tune of Dragostea Din Tei by Ozone

Puppybobbbinssss,
Little ginger dog,
Little ginger dog,
Little ginger baby dog!

Sorry not sorry for the ear worm 🪱

As a I child composed a short simple song on the piano for my dog. I still play and sing it now, thinking of her 40 years later.

Sorry for your doggie loss. They do keep a bit of our hearts. ❤️

hahaha

I sing happy bday to my dog, she loves it

@SirChenjins
Sometimes - but he’s obviously not keen on my singing as he gets up and walks away.

I do give him head, back and shoulder massages which he likes v much.

I think you are taking it a step too far there😀

Anybody else sing the stinky baby song?

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I know the video is of a cat but I sing this to my dog all the time

Yes. I like to perform a selection of songs from musicals for him while I’m doing the cleaning. 😁

Sometimes I take pictures of his unimpressed little face and text them to people.

Yes, the song ‘Mandy’, but with his name in and then laugh as he’s really very selfish and only interested in his own needs, so the words make me chuckle.

My dog runs for the hills if I sing
