A Dog'z Lyfe

Hi, I'm Dave Bastien and I have to admit that I'm fairly new to being a
dog lover. I wasn't crazy about getting one but my girlfriend Sue was
patiently persistent and searched the internet for over a year - looking
all over the United States and South America - until she finally she
found 'Taylor', 45 minutes from our home, waiting to be adopted from
a shelter.

I was a bit skeptical at first but fell in love on the drive home! I
brought a little pillow and blanket and he just sat in my lap the whole
time, looking at me with an occasional 'thank you' glance. Sure there
were some training issues in the beginning, but there was always lots of
love. It's been three years now and he's still the best thing ever!

The life lessons he's taught us have been invaluable, and even though
we can't really communicate, we can. Check out 'Take Me For A Walk'
and you'll know what I mean!

Now I'm hooked and I have to stop and say hello to every dog I meet.
They're all so open to making new friends, both with me and with
Taylor, although if Taylor isn't with me I think he gets a bit jealous!
(see 'You've Been Cheatin' On Me'!)

The songs on 'A Dog's Lyfe' evolved from recognizing those times when
our canine friends have something compelling to say and need a little
help to find their voice... OK, maybe I took it a step further than what
they actually said in a few situations, but it's all in good fun!

They all have their own personalities too... some are very sincere :-}
have a great sense of humor ;-0 can be playfully vindictive ;-) or even a
little indifferent :-| ...just like the rest of us!

Please have a listen and get to know the extended family! If you like
the songs, you can buy a copy of the CD from the 'Buy' page.

Also, feel free to go to my Myspace page, www.myspace.com/adogzlyfe,
and help build a dog-lovers community by adding a picture of your
family member along with your comments... I'd love to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Dave Bastien
