i feel like i had a funny atlas story i was going to tell you, only in this moment, i cannot for the life of me remember it. oh well. instead, i thought i'd share another atlas song, sung to the tune of "oh my darling clementine".

oh, my darling. oh, my darling. oh, my darling atlas pup.

you're so sweet, and how i love you. love you so much, atlas pup.

brown he was and very furry and his tail was very small.

smelly feet and a wet no-ose, ears like velvet, yes there was.

oh, my darling. oh, my darling. oh, my darling atlas pup.

you're so sweet, and how i love you. love you so much, atlas pup.

    wonderful way to start wednesday morning!
    i saw a weim puppy over the weekend, walking
    with his folks. he was like a little colt…
    all legs and still a little clumsy.
    adorable!
    hugs to your own sweet, famous puppy!
    love,
    tammy j

  6. I can sooo hear you singing this to Atlas.
    I’m always making up songs for Grover, too, but the one I sing the most only involves one key word change… It is truly the cheesiest possible one and I would be embarrassed of sharing it anywhere but here :)
    From Firefall:
    You are the *doggie* that I always dreamed of,
    I knew it from the start,
    I saw your face and that’s the last I’ve seen of my heart.

  7. I love your songs! My girls get excited when I sing to them. Does Atlas like your songs?

    I ALWAYS make up songs to sing. But i sing them to my kids. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures. Isn’t it?
    BTW: Now I have that tune in my head. Thanks. Except mine always goes “Oh, my Izzy, Oh my Izzy, Oh my Izzy-bizzy-boo…”
