Red and Rover by Brian Basset for June 18, 2018

Rover wants another dog?

Naw…

Gee, how much longer does Red have?

Is that dog – or human years?

You ain’t nothing but a hound dog crying all the time. I can’t stop!

Rover can name that tune in 2 notes!

“How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?” As a kid, I sang it all the time … still sounds good to me. Love and Hugs, boys…it’s almost SUMMER!

That’s nothing Rover. I’ve had “Doggie In The Widow” stuck in my head for 55 years!

“This is the song that never ends…!”

Patty Page, right!

My most recent earworm was Sibelius’ Second Symphony.

Rover I got that tune stuck in my head in about 50 years ago. Must have been the same time you heard in the late 60’s

I think Rover is thinking about a hot doggie . . .

So, Red, what’s with the shoes?

Me too TexMex

Popsicle Pete? Never heard of that one!

Rover, I really wish you hadn’t said that. Now I’m stuck. I guess I need to think about Small World and see if it cancels out.

When I was two years old and taking an endless road trip with my parents to visit relatives in South Dakota. They stopped at a diner in Iowa where “How Much Is That Doggie In the Window” was playing on the jukebox. They tell me I began singing along with the record. The teens kept playing it to keep me singing. Thankfully, I have no actual memory of my one and only public recital.
