Italian Greyhound song!!

by IggyGirl on March 3, 2010

I just found this hilarious song!!  It sound’s kinda dated, but it’s so cute!!

Here’s the lyrics (it’s making me giggle reading them…):

People stop and ask your name
They want to know from where you came
I tell them this dog is history
You’ll never find another so complete
I love your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet disposition
All of your eight pounds, Italian Greyhound
Sweet disposition

I’ve never seen a prettier face
Your love of luxury shows good taste
Do you remember the glory days
When all of Roma whispered your name
I love your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet disposition
All of your eight pounds, Italian Greyhound
Sweet disposition

From the Mediterranean Sea
To the streets of New York City
People always stop and stare -
You’ve got the look, you’ve got the flair

When you stare into the world
Do you dream of kings or do you dream of squirrels
It doesn’t matter to me what you do
I’ll always love your every move

I love your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet disposition
All of your eight pounds, Italian Greyhound
Sweet disposition

Must! Own! Song!

“I <3 Hotels!”

by IggyGirl on March 2, 2010

This weekend, we went to another town and stayed in the hotel for several days.

Now Pippin loves trips.  He loves to sleep in my lap while we drive, look out the window when we stop, wait for us in the car when we get out, and most especially, he loves hotel rooms.  I don’t know why, but he is always so happy when I take his leash off and he gets to check the hotel room out.  I would not describe Pippin as a happy dog  (by no stretch of the imagination!), but in a hotel room his tail wags almost nonstop.  He trots around with joy and he loves leaping from bed to bed.

He is also well behaved.  Quiet and non-demanding, the perfect little dog I’ve always dreamed of.  Well, actually, he still raids the trash…

Anyway, I asked him while he was wagging his tail at me and rubbing his head on the sheets, “Are you happy?”  He looked at me quickly.  “You like stayin’ in hotels?”  His tail whipped harder and he came and rubbed his head on my shirt, then tried to kiss my mouth.  I guess that answers it.

Strider!! You got’s stuff in my eye!”

February 22, 2010

At the farm where we were milking cows, poor Pippin didn’t get outside much.  We were right near a busy street, had large, ugly tempered cattle running around.  So when he did get to play, he was one happy camper, running around and sniffing and looking closely at curious things.
One day, when Strider was oh, [...]

Look out Pip!!

February 6, 2010

At the last place we just moved from, we were working a dairy.  Yeah, a cow dairy.    This dairy was a little different than a lot of other dairies though, because we were milking for their cream alone.  So as the milk came pouring through the pipes, one person was required to stand [...]

Brrrr!!

February 4, 2010

It’s so COLD out there!  Every time I take Pip out he shivers and shivers, even when he has a sweater on.  But he loves his walks.  I suppose the walking helps him keep warm.  He trots beside me, or someone else if I get the big dog, just as happy as can be.  After [...]

Pip had a seizure last night!

January 23, 2010

Ugh, of course it’s after he gets into grain…  He stole half of my slice of bread the other day, and has gotten into popcorn more than once lately.  It was two seizures in a row, and now he’s all bruised up from his violent convulsions.  He smelled awful too, don’t know if it was [...]

Moved again, UPDATE

January 10, 2010

Ok, so we’ve moved again and are now in a tiny town.  We live only a few blocks from the library, and have no fence around our yard.  But Pip’s happy.  We share our room with my sisters, but it’s the attic and it’s all ours.  Pippin’s convinced that the room belongs to him, and [...]

“Is This Just the Way it is? I Seem to Fall by the Wayside When This Happens.”

November 21, 2009

I know what you’re saying.  “Where have you been?  Last post the beginning of March, tardiness in the extreme!”   Sorry, very sorry.   Quite a lot has been going on, not the least of which includes moving again.   Yeah, we’re no longer at the ranch, and the cowardly female dog plagues Pip no more.   [...]

“How DARE You Try to Steal my Bone!” – Part 2

March 10, 2009

This is the Second part of the story.  Read yesterday’s post to read it from beginning to end.
I gave the harshest and ugliest yell I could muster, but the cowardly female (as I already knew she was) gave a guilty jump as soon as she saw me.  It was a good thing for her interest [...]
