SUMMARY: Titles of dog musicals -- from a Facebook post by a friend

Robert loves puns. And so, apparently, do many of his friends, who are clearly up on the latest dog theater culture. With permission from Robert, the titles (and more), with credit for the person providing the title.

    Blue merle, lighter than a tri
    Your eyes are like the sky, today
    You toy chaser, you fast racer
    However you're playing, I'm playing your way.
  • (Ellen Levy Finch) Dogs! is obvious. Some songs are *clearly* about dogs and dog toys:

Never posted these photos. Remembering Mom and Dad.
