I'm a Good Dog

[Mark A Becker]

I wanna walk along the trail
see what I can find
got a pretty little lady dog
on my mind this section should be the refrain

Thanks Paul-

This is just a little acapella ditty I'd sing with Jack on the trail, and it's all of 40 seconds long.  The doggie did seem to like it as we got up to "the spot" by the creek if I repeated the line I'm a good dog and my name is Jack. Probably because it was my voice singing the words good dog and Jack.

Interestingly, "the spot" became an area where dozens of painted rocks were left: visual poetry, by kids.  I thought of it as a memorial to a good dog, even though the rocks were left there 3 years after Jack had moved on to the big biscuit in the sky.  I guess "the spot" offered some sort of spiritual significance for others, as well.  Gotta love how the world works sometimes...
