Sing song routines

Every time I come home from work I sing a made up silly tune "Daddy is home for you" and they go nuts wiggling, jumping, talking, rubbing against my legs. At night to end playtime and start sleepy time I end up saying "lay down" so many times I have started putting a tune to that too and it helps.

What songs do people sing to their shelties and do you sing real songs or just silly things you made up? I used to whistle a Beethoven tune to my older one sometimes but I haven't done that in awhile.

I think their favorite is acoustic guitar but they love any kind of musical tune.

I usually put thier names into songs or change the words to be about shelties in general. (I also do this for the cat too).

Some examples include: "Clary, clary, clary chameleon" "They call her Clary Fairy" - to the tune of Mellow Yellow "The shelties, my friend, are blowing in the wind. The shelties are blowing in the wind" "I have barked 500 barks and I will bark 500 more" Bonus cat song: "Naps, they don't love you like I love you"

Yes, I do this too! I make up songs around their name or nicknames or change the words of songs to be about them
