What's your favorite dog song?

[landman]

This one is pretty good and its been around for more than 50 years. A person could write it to include hunting land and include the verse about the old hunting dog. I always feel bad for the dog every time I hear that last verse.

It's not a song but a pretty neat poem entitled "Beau" by Jimmy Stweart. You will be teary eyed by the end.

Reminds me our Chessie Charlie, Awesome poem Zeb thanks for sharing

You know that to me was beautiful. I enjoyed but it also put the old fear in me. I'm 75 and Tony is 9. I fear what I'd do without him and him without me. For you see the reality of this happening is all to clear and near.---Bob

Bob,

Ain't that the truth. You've got a few years on me, but this was my wife's response a few months ago when I was thinking of getting a new pup. She said; "If you're going to get another dog I wish you would do it sooner than later, because I don't want the dog to out live you." I still love the woman! :)

By the way, I got that new pup in January.

George you are lucky my wife says. I have to wait until Tony is on his last legs hunting before I can get another pup. I too still love her dearly!! Even after 53 years of together.---Bob

Jimmy Stewart's "Beau" is a classic for sure. Gets me every time. Here's another classic, from Red Foley...

This is my favorite it is not to long so I posted it.

Rainbow Bridge Poem.


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

This is probably not as sentimental as some of the others, but Ol Red by Blake Sheldon brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.

Just keep on going, Bob, you and the dog together. It's a hard-to-beat combination for happiness.

[bobeyerite]

CB, I intend too. Tony has a personality that I have never seen in a Brittany before. I have them for over 40 years. He is a happy-go-lucky type, everybody and most everything is his friend. He loves to play even at 9 he is still acting like a pup at times. Good: I cannot tell how good he is. I mean hunting and in the house. He just seems to know what to do and when to do it. Yes, he truly is a rare one that will be a tough act to follow. Here is a grabber for you; If he wants something done; like go for a run. I'm busy or want to wait a bit. He goes to Shirl my wife. He nudges her to get her attention. Then sits in front of her and Glares at me. Yes, He literally glares. Why he thinks she can make me do it. I don't know, but he does.---Bob

You obviously love your dog (and vice versa) so it is good idea to have a contingency plan. Do you know someone who would love your dog and give him the kind of life you have (or close)? You should talk to that person about taking the dog should something happen. You'll feel more peace of mind. As for how you will cope should something happen to your dog, that is a tough question. Your life expectancy is longer than the dog's so maybe its time to consider a new dog to be a companion to both you and the dog until the older dog's life has come to end after a happy life thanks to you. You're all heart, so I am sure you will come with a plan.

[bobeyerite]

BritChasher, I don't need an plan if something should happen to me. Don't think for an instant my wife Shirl would give up Tony and visa-versa. They both love each other. The only thing that keeps me #1. Is I take him running and hunting. When in the house he lays close to her and chews his raw-hide bone, more than he does to me. The other part of the plan is to get a Brit Pup from Brittany Rescue, here in Spokane. That is when the time comes. Tony is a very jealous dog and it will take some doing to get another dog while he is alive.....Bob

Some how the song Feed Jake comes to mind, it really isn't about the dog but it works....

Let's Go To Huntin done by The Otis Bros and Burl Ives, But doen best by Tim O'Brien on his CD Cornbread Nation.

Let's Go Huntin'
From Cornbread Nation
(Traditional Arrangement Tim O'Brien/Howdy Skies Music/Universal Music Corp/ASCAP)

Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed something

Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed somethin

Your dog barks, it don't mean nothin
Your dog barks, it don't mean nothin
My dog barks, he done treed somethin

Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed somethin

Old Red howlin up at the moon
Old Red howlin up at the moon
Took off runnin, and he treed him a coon

Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed somethin

Now he raised his tail and he took off runnin
He raised up his tail and he took off runnin
Come on boys let's go to huntin

The gun says boom and coon says zip
The gun says boom and the coon says zip
Old Red grabbed him with all his grip

Your dog bark, it don't mean nothin
Your dog bark, it don't mean nothin
My dog bark, he done treed somethin

Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed somethin

Waterproof your boots and whistle up your dog
Waterproof your boots and whistle up your dog
Shoulder up your gun when you're wadin in the bog

You get the shot, I'll get the powder
You get the shot, I'll get the powder
Your dog bark, my dog louder

Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Come on boys, let's go to huntin
Dog in the woods, he done treed something

Great song!

[grouchyolddude]

By Dana Duke

Just an old broken down dog
is what I've come to be.
My senses are all growing dim,
My eyes can barely see.

But master, you're still in your prime,
while I am fading fast,
Please take me with you one more time
Before I breathe mt last.

You used to take me with you
To the woods when I was young,
To do your bidding faithfully
In my youth when I was strong.

My best's no longer good enough,
I'm useless and confused:
For surely you must care for me
as much as I for you.

I'll be waiting by the back door,
Take me with you when you go.
It's all I've ever wanted
and the only thing I know.

I'll struggle up and wag my tail,
Eager your will to do;
And gladly endure a painful walk
Just to be with with you.

Take me with you when you go.
One more time I long to be
with my master and my friend.
Take me with you once again.

[tmrichardson]

This one comes to mind for me....good old Phil & Don...
