Dogs, ever have one of those days where you find yourself on the wrong side of the door…repeatedly? I dedicate this song to all the dogs in the southern part of the country experiencing their first snow, and to everyone whose humans are hunkered down in this deep freeze that are keeping you inside! It’s time to play every dog’s favorite game, and every humans’ least, In and Out the House! So as you stand by the door demanding to go in either direction, bark this song parody, set to the tune of Bon Jovi’s 1985 hit, “In and Out of Love,” LOUD!

In and out the house
In and out the house
In and out the house
In and out the house

In and out the house
In and out the house

Cold weather 
Somebody turned down the heat 
Need a sweater 
‘Cause outside it is starting to sleet 
It is colder than I’ve ever known 
With snowbanks up to Mom’s knees
She’ll let me in when I’ve had enough
Mom’s been trained, puppy lessons learned 

In and out the house
It’s what I’m barkin’
In and out the house
It’s the game that we’re playing
In and out the house
Too much is never enough
Gotta get outside! 

Running wild
When me and my boys hit the snow
Right on time
I’ve got to go out to pee now 
Mom said, “Hold on, do you really have to go?” 
“One more time, because I said so!” 
One endless game is fine with me 
“Please don’t make me repeat this plea!” 

In and out the house 
It’s what I’m barkin’
In and out the house 
It’s the game that we’re playing
In and out the house
When we’re together
In and out the house 
Let’s play this forever
In and out the house
Hear what I’m barkin’
In and out the house
It’s the game that we’re playing
In and out the house
Too much is never enough
Gotta get outside! 

Out the house
In the house 
Out the house 
In the house 

In and out the house 
In and out the house 
The temperature’s what? (In and out the house)
You want to go where? (In and out the house)
Hey, just how cold is it now? (In and out the house)
Oh no!
