Because I’m feeling nostalgic today, not to mention want to embarrass my little brother, I thought I’d share with you this post from 2016 when Asa turned 18 months old.  Even as a puppy he dreamed of being a rock star.  To celebrate the milestone of being 18 months, he changed the words to “I’m Eighteen” by Alice Cooper.  To be honest, I think Asa really did capture what it means to be an 18 months old puppy, with this tribute to adolescent angst.

Life’s full of the run and fetch.

Life’s full of the sit and wait.

I’m in the middle without any plans.

I’m a puppy and I’m a dog.

I’m Eighteen Months!

And I don’t know what I want.

Eighteen Months, I just don’t know what I want.

Eighteen Months, I can’t sit and stay,

I gotta get outside to play.

I’ll go running every place, oh yeah!

I’ve got a puppy’s brain and an old dog’s heart.

Took Eighteen Months to get this far.

Don’t always know what I’m barking about.

I’m not sure if I should snuggle or pout.

‘Cause I’m Eighteen Months!

I get confused every day.

Eighteen Months,

I just don’t know what Mom says.

Eighteen Months, I gotta go play!

Whoa!

Life’s full of the jump and dig.

Life’s full of the down and sit.

I’m in the middle, the middle of adolescence.

I’m a puppy and I’m a dog.

I’m Eighteen Months and I like it!

Yes, I like it!

Oh I like it, I love it, I’ll chase it, I’ll fetch it,

I’m Eighteen Months,

Eighteen Months, and I like it!
