INDEPENDENT OLLIE – DOG BLOG – 7-4-11

I feel so independent today. So free of time and fleas, ticks and sleaze, boundaries, bully dogs, hot spots and peas.  So clear on our dogged equality.  So self-sustained.  So self-sufficient and self- contained.  So worry free.  Where is Anne?  I declare, I am so adequately amazed, at me, to be here with you today.  Except for an occasional itch, I have no complaints.  To have made it through my Thanksgiving haze and to be here today to share our independence, is a blessing.  No disguise or dressing.  Pass the treats.

“Yankee Ollie went to town,

A riding on a Doodle,

He stuck a lab in his hat

And called it a labradoodle.”

Today I am galloping around the neighborhood in my patriotic bunting suit.  Having my own parade.  Spreading the feeling.  Turning some frowns upside down.  Join in.

Chorus:

“Yankee Ollie hurry up,

Yankee Ollie doodle,

Mind the music and your step

‘cause your paw’s above a toy poodle.”
