Our Dog Used to Burst Out in Song

When we were first married, we had an Afghan Hound. Our Afghan Hound surprised us one evening when we played an album on the stereo by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Yes, it was a long time ago. Tazi, which means greyhound in Afghani, burst out singing to that song to our surprise. As it turned out, Tazi sang to many other songs he heard. Eventually, he sang on command. It was nice having a dog to amuse us with his talent. We think of him often.

This touched my heart, Dianne:) We had a dog that loved to sing, also. Teddy would go 'ape' whenever he heard 'GhostBusters!' He enjoyed music, as did Tazi!

That's so cool! We tried to get our other dog to sing, but he would have nothing to do with it.

How funny. I have heard that Afghan's needed constant brushing to keep their coats from matting but I would have loved to hear him sing.

You heard right. When he was brushed, he was a real beauty. He won doggy shows and twinkled in the sun. He made us laugh hysterically when he sang.

Awwww that is so sweet. My sister had a dog and whenever her son would play the harmonica he would sing. It was adorable. My dad's dog use to sing whenever he would take him for a drive in the car. He would start as soon as the car started but as soon as Dad shut the car off he would stop. It was so cute. They all have their own little personalities.

How adorable! Both were hilarious for the family. All animals, including kitties, have their own sweet personalities.

Not all dogs are the same, I´ve seen. Luna did not bark when she was a puppy. She emited cat like meeous (how do you write that in Ehglish?) and I thought she would never learn to bark like a proper dog. Once I was in the bathroom (I always miss all the important things) when I heard a powerful bark outside of my bedroom. I ran! And there was Luna BARKING to a dog that was passing by. She only yelps in the morning to say good morning and when Tania comes (she is a special friends of hers)

Meows lol You are right. Not all dogs are the same. I grew up with many. Our last dog was a male, and we had to lift his leg for him when outdoors.

@just4him 5 minutes. lol Actually, a quick brushing per day kept him looking good, but it was tough to do with little babies every day.

He looked gorgeous when he was freshly brushed. He was such a sweet and gentle dog, but a bit on the stupid side.

@DianneN Tazi sounds like a really cool dog. I bet he had a good voice too. Did you sing along with him when he sang?

How cute is that? Our son's cat has taken to 'singing' in the same pitch as a note played on the piano - within reason, of course.

That's adorable! I know that cats are natural music lovers. One of our cats used to walk on our piano keys just to make music. If the keys were covered, he'd wait on the piano until I opened the cover that kept the keys clean. Kitties and doggies are so amusing!
