about

sunny is my little 14+ yo old dog. Every year since we've had each other, i've written a little ditty to commemorate his gotcha day (Feb 2, "grounddog's day"). This is the first one to make it on record. Fun fact: he has been at every recording session for all the albums since his birth. usually, nestled in close by, listening to the music of many. This time, he sat on my lap for all the vocals on this album. Melts my heart a little every day. See a sweet video here. youtu.be/FlAe_FISC3Y

lyrics

You’re my sunny boy blue, oh how i adore you
To the moon, stars, the sunshine and the sea
You’re in my dearest thoughts And often in my way
My furry shadow following me

Your nicknames are sundog, sunshine and poodle
I know it’s an entirely different dog from you…dle
I can picture you…with a curly perm

When its time for a walk, you’re ready to go
Even if you’re sleeping shake off your little bones
Ride in the car, To all the best trails
Nose on the window wagging your tail

Running ‘round the beach, paws digging in the sand
Playin’ “Who’s a good boy” til the sun goes down again
I cherish every day with you

You put up with me dressing you in coats
I know you have your own fur coat
But you shiver in the sun
Your comfort is utmost my little plum

You sit by the heater, In days gray and drab
You lick my nose with breath of Dungeness crab

And when it’s your time to go
My heart will quiver And tears will fill a river
I’ll love you the rest of my days
You’re the best dog of the day
