It was time to start doing something new in this summer. What should I have done? Summer is long, hot and boring. I had to evaluate this time to make a fresh start in my career. But what? After a long time thinking, so about 3 minutes (it is long for a smart dog like me, anyway), I decided to start my music career. Already I have been always dreaming of being a musician. Especially rock musician! After writing a good lyric and composing good melody, all the lovely lady dogs will run after me during the summer. This is a dog’s dream!
I didn’t ask Migo, because his voice is like a crow. I don’t think he can write lyric either. If you ask him to write the lyrics, he would give you a plain article about all the problems in the world. And he would say to you: “You choose the words from within.” The song he wrote would never be hit.
I imagine myself in “the” awesome moment that all the lovely lady dogs accompany me by waving their tails and hairs while I am on stage at a big concert. So Migo is not a solution for music, even it can be a music problem. Because of this and all reasons (that is, considering Migo’s dangerous situation as being extraterrestrial for our planet) I did not ask help from Migo. Ultimately, a dog’s got to do what a dog’s got to do!
I had to do the composition first, but the composition was already ready. I have transformed a rhythm that I constantly mumbled into a short melody. It was starting “hauuhaauuu” and going on with “hauhauuhav”. It was the beatiful composition! Writing lyric on it was the most difficult.
Day 1
I think of the first line of the song. I know that if I start, the rest will come. Let’s start!
“You and me in the park on the same time”
No, that did not happen; what’s the same time at the park! What a nonsense. Try different begining! I am trusting myself!
“You and me my darling, under the stars”
No way! If it was Migo,he would write like that! Stars, planets, and all sky things are not my business!
“You and me together on the beach tonight”
Very stereotyped! This entry is too bad to be the entry of any hit song! What time is it? I’m hungry. I should call Migo and we go to eat somethings. Lyrics are not being written with empty stomach!
Day 2
The air is getting hot. This heat .. Wait! I found it, the first line of the song.
“It’s so hot, but thinking of you freezes me.”
Hmm, there is something wrong with this sentence. Actually, it must have been the other way around. In real, to think of a lady dog warms me up. I’m being ridiculous. The best thing is to go outside and take a breath and tomorrow make a spectacular entry by being rested. Where is Migo!
Day 3
The weather is hot again. But I have to write the lyrics of this song. If I can make the entry, the rest is already here. What could it be?
“Even if the heat makes me upset, to think of you is like ice cream, darling.”
I’m nonsense again. Every female dog does not like ice cream! By the way, I wanted ice cream. Let’s go out with Migo and get some ice cream. I’ll start again tomorrow.
Day 4
Instead of drooling in this very hot weather, I go to the beach and hang out with some lady dogs.
Day 5, Day 6 … Day 18
Day 19
A new dog came to the neighborhood, its name is Brown Beard. I’ve never seen a dog as annoying as he was! Why all the beautiful lady dogs after him? They are ignoring me… I have to get my popularity back again. Where I’ve been? Yes, yes, I’m on the first line still.
“Some lovers come and go, but I’m always here, darling.”
What the hell! Certainly, this Brown Beard played with my psychology! Am I a loser? Why am I always here? I have to be an inaccessible rock star! I wonder where is Migo? We need to go out. Today I am out of shape.
Day 28
Damn you Brown Beard! As if nice lady dogs aren’t enough for him, now he is trying to take my best friend Black Head from me! I have not had such a terrible summer! The weather is too hot. Where are you Migo, open this air-condition! Or is Migo also hanging out with this new popular dog, Brown Beard? Any lyric can not be written with this psychology! Migoo!
Day 39
We were almost fighting with Brown Beard today! I’m so angry. And, Black Head is not my best friend anymore! Damn him, too! He stabbed me in the back! Maybe I should transfer my anger and pain on the lines. Does not every artist give his/her best works after painful experiences? Yes, it must be my day! Let’s start!
“I can be your best friend, but never let me down, darling!”
What? What did I mean by now? Offf … Not again! Very hot, verrry!
Day 46
There’s sewer smelling in the city today. The smell of shit, it is not a joke, it’s real! It is said that there was a malfunction in the city’s sewage clean-up system and they drained the sewers without purifing to the gulf. Migo was upset today. He’s a bit worse than me due to as an alien he smells like hound. We’re sitting by closed door and windows and opened air condition. I guess this smell won’t be tomorrow. The air conditioner is cooling me off, let me sleep till night, I would start writing the song tomorrow.
Day 55
It’s been nine days, yes last nine days the city smells of sewer! The municipality still couldn’t fix it; because of the smelling of shit, Migo puts a clothespin on his nose, and I have been masked. But my mask doesn’t work. At nights he could not sleep because Migo has to remove the clothespin. Bad days. I couldn’t write my song yet. Summer is over, but I still don’t have a song. If it wasn’t the smell, I definitelly would have written. But this smell blows the whole thing!
Day 57
This song will be written, even if there is smell of poop! Lets start!
“Life is beautiful with you, everything is beatiful with you, even if this city smells sewer!”
Uupps! This did not happen! Start from the begining!
“Speaking of smell, my darling, smell of poop beside every smell…”
Damn it! Start from the begining!
“Darling, I miss you now, even I miss your poop smell.”
Again! This is not going to like that, I won’t be able to write this song before this smell runs out!
Day 63
City is still under the sewer smell, but it looks a little diminished. Maybe it doesn’t smell anymore, and maybe the smell stuck to my nose and it seems to me that it always smells like shit. Wet wipes don’t help. In future, I’m not going to get a smell of anything except poop? And if the lady dogs are the same, or if they forget my smell! But wait a minute, if they forgot my smell, it means that they forgot the smell of that new damned dog, Brown Beard’s smell! My mood lifted, haha! This is an opportunity, I must write the song immediately. If I complete the song at this weekend, I can go on stage next week! Yes! Come Erato, come!
“I loved you in every way of you my darling, even if we poop in the same place!”
…I am exhausted!
Day 73
This time I will continue to write whatever I write. The summer ends but my song will not finish! Yes, this is the last trial! Here is my song lyrics!
This summer was hot, my darling,
I’ve sweltered, I licked ice cream,
and the empty beer boxes.
I’ve never liked the brown!
Every where around me was you and the smell of poop.
But okay, me and you, you and the city,
Betrayer Black Head, damn a friend like you!
Darling, never mind these words,
This song is for both of us!
It’s not bad, actually. It is not so lacking than a rock song. Who am I kidding! Does it make me a rock star? Maybe the songs can’t be written in summer. Maybe maybe maybe. Where is Migo, he can tell me if there is smell still.
Of course, this will not get me down, I’ll try my luck in other areas. I had tried the movie career before. You would remember, my beloved readers, my friends, my brothers and sisters and the Romans! (Romans???) Anyway, I hadn’t stop after that experiment. Maybe writing a movie script or making a song isn’t for me. Maybe I should find something else. The next period will show what it is. And here we are again! Migo’s also probably in here somewhere. I know you all missed me more than Migo, and in this time he promised me that he will not intervene between you and me. 😉 A new hello once again to everyone!
unnecessary news from earth 
“The air is getting hot. This heat .. Wait! I found it, the first line of the song.
“It’s so hot, but thinking of you freezes me.”
Hmm, there is something wrong with this sentence.”
Still laughing, WD!
A suggestion, how about a revamp of “You ain’t nothing but a hound dog, rockin’ all the time…”? An old college professor told us, “The best melodies are written with the eraser!” I think he was right!;-)

Yes, that professor was definitely right! But you have read dear Dave, unfortunatelly my only missing thing was not eraser. If this summer was not hot so much, if my best friend had not betrayed me, if that annoying new dog hadn’t come to our neighborhood, and if that bad smell was not, I had been a rock star already! If, if, if, there was so much if, you see. My bad luck!
ps: I have googled “You ain’t nothing but a hound dog, rockin’ all the time…”. I have learnt this is Elvis song, it’s cool! 🙂

A dog post for the dog days of summer, and a love-and-hate song that you can actually smell. Call it a howler? Certainly, an original!

Thank you Norman! It is great being with you all again!
After the terrible summer, now thinking, I could have written a heavy novel with name of “A dog’s indescribable miserable memories” instead of a song (which is this writing is lack which conflicts I lived with Migo during the summer; with them imagine how big novel could it be). But already how many lady dogs were going to read that novel? Already we, as dogs have an unfortunate situation. We live on a planet where videos about cats are shared more than dogs videos. Do you even know that cat emojis are more than dog emojis! We are very unfortunate! Capris and Milou can tell more to you! By the way say hi to them from me. 🙂
The songs are good, I had not listen some of them, thank you for sharing with me. But I think the best of them is “who let the dogs out!” The rhythm is pretty good. Its clip just like I want to do. A clip that the lady dogs dance in front of me would be great! But maybe next time, who knows!
