Default Sweet though odd moment

Last night I had iTunes playing random songs, and Juice Newton's _The
Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known_ came up, and I started singing along
with it. Peanut was asleep in the corner, and looked up, so I turned
and started singing to him directly. He gave me the beagle cocked-head
look ("what are those noises he's making? maybe he's in pain?") and then
very cautiously slunk across the floor over to where I was sitting,
probably to make sure I was okay. I finished the song while scratching
him behind the ears (and the top part of his tail wagged against the
floor), gave him a biscuit, and promised not to sing in his direction
again.

The funniest part is the look he gave me and the cautious way he
approached me...I almost had to stop singing and laugh.

Awww... Maybe he was just waiting for an invitation to join in?

Oppie never seems perturbed by the noises we make, and he used to
join in singing now and then when we'd get Gordo (of the sweet
voice) going.

But he STILL gets perturbed when we dance! When he was a pup
he'd whine loudly and jump up and put his paws on our shoulders
and lick our faces, as if to say, STOP IT! He's not otherwise
much of a licker. Now it takes a little more, and sometimes he
only head butts us or begs. He seems to realize that we're just
playing, but he still doesn't like it much.

Heh. I think he was more wondering if he should call 911. :-)

voice) going.


One time Michael and I were walking Peanut and ran into someone with a
lovely white dog (of husky-ish shape) who started howling along with a
passing ambulance...Michael started howling, too, and Peanut looked at
him with this "You're embarassing me, dad" look on his face.

I used to hold Barney as a puppy and sing to him. I still sang to him when
he got older he wouldn't sing with me too often but occasionally he would..

Lady I didn't get as a pup and the first time I sang to her she started
howling at me. I guess I just don't sound as good to her as I did to
Barney. Now if I do it she just gives me that look like what the hell is
that noise.
