Sing a Little Song

Yesterday I took Fritz for his first vet visit! He is such a sweet boy that I forgot he is a baby who is not used to riding in a crate in a car. Before we are even off our road he is howling and screaming like someone is killing him! I am trying to decide if my "up every two hours every night since Friday" mind can handle a 45 minute trip listening to this lovely noise when I remember that his breeder Stacy sings to her babies. I listen to a lot of different types of music so my mind is skimming over all the song I know! I doubt she sings Metallica or Guns & Roses to them. I know some country, but that doesn't seem right either. Show tunes; no. Kid's songs; closer. I know, I'll sing "This Little Light of Mine!" Everyone knows that song. No, everyone DOES NOT know that song! I know the chorus, that's it. I decide since I've been a singer I can add in a few "ohs" and "ahs," besides I doubt Fritz knows the words. Thank goodness I was right; he never even noticed that I just sang the chorus over and over. After the first time through he sat down, stopped crying, and looked at me. After the second time he curled up. By the end of the third he was asleep. At least I hope he was really asleep and not just pretending so I would stop singing. Either way thank you Stacy for telling us you sing to them before they come home to us. It works every time I put him in his crate! Oh, and if any of you know the words to "This Little Light of Mine" will you sent them too me?
