I'm in beautiful Williamsburg, VA and was inspired to write the following with apologies to the great Lennon and McCartney:

A Day in the Life (of a Dog)

I chewed some shoes today, Oh Boy!
They were a yucky man's, I ran away
And though the shoes were rather sad
Well I just had to bark
I saw him at the park
He tried to find me in a car
He didn't notice that I might be tame
A crowd of dachshunds were long-haired
They'd sniffed his butt before
Everyone was really sure that he was rotten to the core

I watched TV today, Oh Boy!
The English Setters had just won awards
A crowd of Beagles turned away
But I just barked real loud
Cause they looked so proud

I love that cute Bichon...

Woke up, went out to pee
Sprinkled some against a tree
Found my way outside and had a dump
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my bone and grabbed the cat
Walked across the welcome mat
Found my way inside and had a nap
In somebody's lap and I went into a dream

Rowl, rowl, rowl, rowl
Rowl, rowl, rowl, rowl, rowl, rowl, rowl

I dug some holes today, Oh Boy!
Four thousand holes in backyard landscaping
And though the holes were rather small
I had to dig them all
Now we know how many holes it takes to find my missing ball

We love that cute Bichon...
