February 24th Dog Playlist!

This past week has been very difficult for me with the death of my beloved puppy, Clifford. Just last week he was wreaking havoc on me while I was in the studio bringing music to the people. In a very quick turn of events, he left this physical world. While I was devastated, I have found comfort in the fact that there are so many songs in the world about these wonderful animals. Dogs are, indeed, very special and he was even more exceptional. He was full of love and happiness. Even on the worst day, he could make you smile simply by resting his chin on your lap just in case you felt like petting his head. His most recent nickname was the gentle giraffe because of his gentle nature and long neck. He touched my life in a way that no other dog has. I play this week's playlist as a tribute to my beloved pup. Below is a picture from this past fall.
