I often sang to my dogs. They seem to "like" it. My cats looked at me as if I was crazy, though.

We got a rescue beagle, maybe 25 years ago, she was sick and weak and the vet said she'd probably die. I sat up with her all day and night for a week or more making up nonsense songs about her name, Sarah.

She lived a productive life but I miss her to this day.

I sang to my dogs while we played and, much more sadly, when they were old and dying.

I used to pet and play with them while singing "She Rubs You (Yeah Yeah Yeah), PS, I Rub You, and "Rub Me Do" and other such "rub" songs by the Beatles.

They're all gone now and we're old and lonely.
