AC/DC once sang, “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna to rock ‘n roll.” I’m starting to realize just how correct they are as I continue to follow my dream to start a band. At the last headcount I have approximately 80 dogs and a few cats excited to be my backup singers, a possible human drummer, and I’m working out the details with a dog guitarist who is camera shy, which may make it hard to do publicity shots. I also have several dogs volunteering to be my roadies, which at this point is the easiest job because I have no tour scheduled, or even actual instruments to tote around. So while I continue to mull all of this over, please enjoy my latest song parody inspired by AC/DC, “Long Way for a Walk.”

Walkin’ down the driveway
Sniffin’ everything
Stoppin’ and more delays
Seein’ all my friends
Gettin’ petted
Gettin’ out
Gettin’ caught up
Distractions
Gettin’ heeled
Gettin’ walked
I tell you, folks
It’s harder than it looks

It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all
It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all

If you think it’s easy walkin’ on command
Try heelin’ while sniffin’ the land
It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all

Chipmunk, Squirrel
May be passing by
Puppy with a new smell
My nose does not lie
Gettin’ pulled
Gettin’ praised
Gettin’ told “off”
Can’t obey
Gettin’ treats
Time to move
That’s how it goes
Walkin’ a human

It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all
It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all

If you don’t wanna be pulled by your leash at the seams
Watch out, walk as a team

It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all
It’s a long way for a walk if you wanna sniff it all

Well it’s a long way
Well it’s a long way, come along with me
Let’s go today
I’ll lead the way!
