Songs Dedicated to your pets...

Do you have a certain song tha remind you of your pet? Post the Artist, the name of the song, which pet it goes to and the lyrics.

To Connor it is Josh Groban's - You're Still You - Mostly because he was abused and still acts like he was, but he is the sweetest dog who never deserved what he got. In my eyes he is so strong for going through what he did. Also, in the song it says "Your face I memorized" which is SO true because he has these things right under his eyes that he moves when I say his name, so because of that I can tell you EVERYTHING about his face right down to the part where his brown and blak begin to mix.

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you



And Mine and Nova's Song is Josh Groban's Remember when it rained - sometimes I get lost in the playfullness of the puppies or my work with the reascue that I feel like Nova gets left out a bit. So, this is my song to her.

Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you.
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do.

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the darkness I remain.

Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die.

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
I felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the water I remain
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down
Running down

So, share your songs!!

Cool thread, Ash.

Molly and Daisy's song would have to be ~

"My Everything" - 98 degrees

The loneliness of nights so long
The search for strength to carry on
My every hope had seemed to die
My eyes had no more tears to cry
Then like the sun shined from up above
You surrounded me with your endless love
And all the things I couldn't see
Are now so clear to me

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray on bended knee
That you will always be
My everything


Now all my hopes and all my dreams
Are suddenly reality
You've opened up my heart to feel
The kind of love that's truly real
A guiding light that'll never fade
There's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
For the love you give and won't let go
I hope you'll always know

You're the breath of life in me
The only one that sets me free
And you have made my soul complete
For all time
For all time

My chosen song for both, Kai and Kaedyn, is "I Love that Dog" by Connie Kaldor

For just Kai and I, it's "Everything" by Lifehouse.


Connie Kaldor - I Love that Dog:

I love that dog
The way he runs up to me when I call
The way he chases his favorite red rubber ball

I love that dog
The way he chases his tail all over the place
The way he stands up on his hind legs and licks my face
I love that dog

So even if he is a little bad sometimes
Sometimes he barks too loud at night
Maybe he chases cats over the fence
But he's not the kind that growls, and he's not the kind that bites

I love that dog
The way he puts his wet nose in my hand
And when I tell him my problems he always understands

I love that dog
The way he catches a Frisbee as he leaps
The way his eyes and paws flutter as he sleeps
I love that dog

So even if he is a little bad sometimes (I mean, who isn't?)
Maybe he barks too loud at night (Is that really bad? No)
Maybe he chases some cat over the fence
But he's not the kind that growls, and he's not the kind that bites

And on those days when it seems
Like I haven't a friend
He's so glad to see me
That he wags his whole back end

I love that dog
The way he smiles when I pat his head
The way he curls up and snores some nights by my bed

I love that dog
I love that dog
I love, I love that dog
I love that dog

Lifehouse - Everything:

This one find me here
and speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
you are the light
that's leading me
to the place
where I find peace again

you are the strength
that keeps me walking
you are the hope
that keeps me trusting
you are the life
to my soul
you are my purpose
you're everything

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this yeah

you calm the storms
and you give me rest
you hold me in your hands
you won't let me fall
you still my heart
and you take my breath away
would you take me in
take me deeper now

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

cause you're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

you're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

you're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

you're all I want
you're all I need
you're everything
everything

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

and how can I
stand here with you
and not be moved by you
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this
would you tell me
how could it be
any better than this

I heard this song right after Keisha died when I was bringing her home from the vets. It makes me cry evertime I hear it. So it is dedicated to her.

"Follow Me" Uncle Kracker

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'

[CHORUS]
Follow me everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear
Cuz as long as no one knows than nobody can care
You're feelin' guilty and I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared
I'm singin'

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
You're better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go astray and
We'll be all right if you don't ask me to stay

[REPEAT CHORUS]

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'

[REPEAT CHORUS]

great songs everyone!

Keep them coming!

When Willie, my soul dog passed away, I played "My Heart Will Go On" over and over.. I made a video in which I spread out a lot of his pictures and slowly panned the video camera across them as I played that song in the background. My heart seizes up every time I hear it. I know it's very common and was even overplayed a lot at one time, but when I hear it, I see my boy again... He still fills my dreams and my heart so much.. and I do know he goes on.



Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

I don't know why but I think of Duke with this song. Yes, a long time ago, I did listen to country music. I love the video, too. It doesn't have much to do with a dog except for the chorus.

I'm standin' at the crossroads in life
And i don't know where to go
You know you've got my heart,babe
But my music's got my soul
Let me play it one more time
Tell the truth and make it right
And hope they understand me

(CHORUS)
Now i lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If i die before i wake,feed Jake
He's been a good dog
My best friend right through it all
If i die before i wake,feed Jake

Now Broadway's like a sewer
Bums and hookers everywhere
Winos passed out on the sidewalk
Doesn't anybody care?
Some say "He's worthless,just let him be!"
I for one would have to disagree
And so would their Mama's

(CHORUS)

Now if you get an ear pierced
Some will call you gay
But if you drive a pick-up
They'll say "No,you must be straight!"
What we are and what we ain't
What we can and what we cain't
Does it really matter?

(CHORUS)

If i die before i wake,feed Jake
If i die before i wake...
Feed Jake
