A Christmas Serenade

Oh now I'm in the Christmas spirit! My Grandma Miz Mary found this tune for me somewhere, so with apologies to you all who might have seen this before, the girls and I feel like a serenade!

A Doggy Winterland (to the tune of Winter Wonderland)

Dog tags ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
It's yellow, NOT white, I've been there tonight,
Marking up my winter wonderland.

Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.
It's a sign for wandering vagrants;
Avoid where I pee, it's MY pro-per-ty!
Marked up as my winter wonderland.

In the meadow mom will build a snowman,
Following the classical design.
Then I'll lift my leg and let it go, Man,
So all the world will know that it's
Mine-mine-mine!

Straight from me to the fence post,
Flows my natural incense boast;
Stay off of my TURF, this small piece of earth,
I marked it as my winter wonderland.

Tag I'm It

OK now Mom has tortured me and my housemates once more with her incessant picture-taking, and I'm so bored I think I'll play a game now! Butchy and Snickers were tagged to do "Tag 7" so I'll do it too:

(link to their site) (Mom's so dumb so here's just their blog site)

http://butchyandsnickers.blogspot.com/

Here are the rules for Tag 7:
* Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
* Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
* Tag 7 random people at the end of your post & include links to their blogs.
* Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog

I have no idea who's been tagged or not so let's say anyone who wants to can join in!

*****************************
7 Random or Weird Facts about Myself:

1. I like to sleep underneath the PC when Mom's helping me with my blog so in case she's got questions she can wake me up and ask.

2. I think Rudy Giuliani created his campaign website just to make all these cool items with MY name on them for me!

3. Every dog I meet can't believe I'm a dog, the herding breeds are convinced I'm a sheep! My mom Clancy was mistaken for a goat recently...

4. I have an older brother who's my exact twin except I have all this training and he doesn't. Mom can't even tell us apart!

5. I have children in Sweden, Denmark, Norway(I think) as well as the good ol' USA.

6. I'm in love with Shelties. I'm a sucker for cute little girls with long hair! (don't tell Josie) Springer Spaniels also ring my bells!

7. I can climb over our 5-foot tall backyard fence and nobody else can. Mom gets so mad at me for that! I hit it at 4 feet and climb over the rest, but only if a squirrel or rabbit make me do it. I'm very athletic for a slighty-shorter-than-16-inches guy.

That's all I can think of that's interesting. Oh, today Clancy went with Mom to an obedience trials in Maryland (Emmy and I went there last year) and she qualified in Rally Novice for the very first time! Clancy is the only one of us who doesn't have a Rally Obedience title yet. It's her turn now, she's already 11 years old.

Here's a pic of us gathered on the couch after this latest photo session. Mom wanted us all on our card; wonder which of the thousand pics she took she'll use before we all go blind...

Love,
Rudy
