Story Behind The Song
Both of my children used to cuddle their stuffed animals including a puppy, during every period when they went to sleep (i.e. naptime, nite time, etc.). This feeling carried forward many years later when a real puppy became a member of the family.
Song Description
This lullaby was written to capture some of the memorable times that many children share with their dogs or pets--real or imaginary.

Lyrics
MY LITTLE PUPPY
1. My little puppy starts his day
By licking my face till I?m awake
He plays with my shoe and loves peekaboo
And when he?s happy, do you know what he says?
?Arf! Arf! Arf!?
(Chorus)
He?s rolie and polie and ready to play
I feed him and brush him and he seems to say
?I love you, I love you, I love you, you?re mine!?
And love fills our days all of the time
2. My little puppy walks me to school
He stays by the school gates ?cause he knows the rule
Scampers away to spend his day
And ?Goodbye? he says, ?Goodbye?
?Arf! Arf! Arf!? (Chorus)
3. My little puppy waits by the door
And at three o?clock he can?t wait any more
?Hi, Mommie> I?m home!? It?s me, he knows
And ?Welcome? he says, ?Welcome!?
?Arf! Arf! Arf!? (Chorus)
4. Now it?s after dinner and puppy?s been fed
It?s time to curl up and sleep in my bed
Puppy is snug as a bug in a rug
And ?Goodnight? he says, ?Goodnight?
?Arf! Arf! Arf!?
