\"Guess<\/a>
Guess who I found in my ukulele case after I recorded Leo’s Song?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a song that I thought up after looking into the blank eyes of Leo, who, after 6 months of training, still isn’t paper trained.<\/p>\n

It took me 6 weeks to teach Leo how to shake hands. Now that Leo knows how to shake hands, when I command “down”, he offers his paw.<\/p>\n

I did this song in GarageBand, starting by laying down the drum track, then played out the bass track on the computer keyboard.<\/p>\n

Then I played the ukulele, sang the song and added the barks.<\/p>\n\nhttps:\/\/joanneteo.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Leos-Song.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

The chords are F, C5? (CGCG), Am, G<\/p>\n

Just in case you want to sing along:<\/p>\n

You don’t know how to speak my language, do you?
\nYou’ve got a thousand words but I just got two.
\nCan’t you speak to me?
\nJust a woof or a howl?<\/p>\n

You think you make sense to me, really you don’t.
\nYou think my head will work it out, but it won’t.
\nWon’t you try it my way?
\nJust a woof or a howl?
\nIt’ ain’t hard.<\/p>\n

When you’re ready to speak my language, call me.
\nTwo simple words I’ll come a-running to you.
\nSo come on now,
\nJust a woof or a howl.
\nI’ll come running.
\nBe by your side.<\/p>\n

So come on now.
\nJust a woof or a howl.
\nJust a woof or a howl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
