I don't remember the exact words.

But, when he first made it into our home, I sung “His name is Leo and he runs around the room, just like the other dogs, he reaaally likes to zoom” to the tune of Duran Duran’s Rio for him all the time. I really enjoyed the “Oh Leee-o, Leeeeee-o!” part, but, I don’t remember if I ever made up words to the rest of that verse.

Maybe it was my amazing musical stylings that finally won him over- he really is a different dog now. Sure, he has eight billion less ticks (um, that would be none, in case you were wondering if he started with eight billion and one). And he’s gained a few lbs, despite being unable to eat out of a bowl completely normally. And maybe he just felt bad for me, for being so completely devoid of anything resembling musical stylings. But, we are REALLY happy that he stuck it out with us and can fake being a “normal dog” at least fairly well, most days.

Heh. I’ve only posted Lynx and Leo so far (just 1/3 of our weenie pack). People who don’t know about the rest of them might think we name all our dogs after cats.
