A lyrically clever and entertaining write. Some great metaphors and interesting and humorous throughout.
Lovely vocal (which was not a surprise) and a complimentary backing track to complete the song.
Excellent work and a fine song.
Peter Thanks so much Peter. Really like your new one! Take care. Greg

Very good Greg! Fine vocal as always, and lots of great lines. My favorite:
"Not tryin’ to be crude, but I’d have dog attitude"
A fun listen! Thanks Dave. Appreciate that a lot! Your latest is absolutely stellar....my fave of yours to date I think!! Take care. Greg

Greg,
Funny and well sung as well.
The humour & delivery is very Nilsson.
My only gripe is the link between verses & choruses - seems perfunctory - you could set up the next section with a couple of chords and a lick of the melody.
Nevertheless - nice job. Thanks Ray. I appreciate the listen and the feedback! Take care. Greg

This is outrageously good... A real masterpiece. The lyric, track selection, production and your vocal is stellar.
I absolutely love this.

Nice simple waltz with great vocals, interesting chord progression and lush mix. Nice to get a dog's view for a change on this forum  Reminds me of Paul McCartney. Janne Thanks Janne! Any comparison to McCartney is extremely flattering to me! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
Simply wonderful and absolutely inspired.
I'm in awe of how you've taken an unlikely and frivolous title and
turned it into a gentle love song.
Fabulous.
ROG. Thanks so much for your very kind words ROG. Much appreciated! Always love your rockers! Take care. Greg

Greg,
This is one of the best written songs that has ever been posted here.
Or anywhere.
Writing at the highest level.
Every. Single. Word.
I wanted to quote the best lines. But that would be THE ENTIRE SONG...
The simple piano/bass/strings arrangement is perfect. Your vocal is cool - it would work perfectly for a animated dog cartoon video.
(Maybe Pat Marr would do one!!)
Randy Newman should put this on his next record. (Really)
So far out of the park it ain't funny.
ZOWIE. ZOWIE. ZOWIE.
fj Thanks so much Floyd. This is indeed very high praise. You have no idea how much this means coming from you! Take care. Greg

Greg,
As everyone has said, this is really clever writing. You've done a really great job making the metaphor and extending it right through to the end.... and that pay-off really seals the deal.
Excellent performing (as always), and very engaging from start to finish.
I totally enjoyed this,
Noel

Greg,
Witty, cute and wordly wise lyrics - cool that you followed through on that idea.
I was picturing scenes from 10001 dalmations as it played- could really see this getting interest for an animated film.
Your vocal brings the meaning home & the simple arrangement works well.
Great song.
Robert
THanks Robert! You have been killing it lately..prolific and so good! Take care. Greg

Excellent...attempts at humor/wittiness often don't work, but this is a 'BEST IN SHOW' kind of song. Loved your vocal, fit perfectly, and the lyric construction matches the melody exactly--I take that as a sign of expert writing.
Really enjoyed it!! Thanks for those very kind remarks. Much appreciated! You have been posting a variety of really cool stuff! Take care. Greg

Greg, your vocals are always among the best presented here on this forum! but you have outdone yourself here! There is certainly some vivid imagery in your lyrics and I had a constant smile going the whole way with a laugh or two. You are creative sir! Someday you may consider writing another lyric (a more serious one) and use your melody here. It is absolutely beautiful!!! Great work Greg! Thanks, Torrey Thanks so much Torrey! Love your new one....fabulous!! Take care. Greg

Greg, first of all nice slow down on the end. What a great write! So funny and heartwarming. Anyone who has ever loved their dog will love this one. It does bring to mind Newman, however your vocal is head and shoulders above anything he could have done. The arrangement is perfection and you should take a big bow-wow for this one. Excellence from every view, Tom
