• Gilly - A sedate and sweet bearded collie, mellow enough to spend her days in her owner’s antique store –except when the UPS truck appears!

• Grady - A kitty who can be mean and feisty at times. This song was a gift for Stephanie – the family’s 18 year old daughter and Grady’s favorite family member—from her mom.

• Hershey - His owner’s wife had this song written for her husband to cheer him up during a difficult time and it gently pokes fun at the fact that dog and hubby are “two peas in a pod”—who happen to love country music!

• Siah - Her name is the Persian word for “black” and this cat rules the house with attitude. Siah's family includes a classical musician and his wife had this tune created for him.

• Sunny - A business associate had this song composed for his brother, a retired Microsoft executive, and his family. It has an upbeat, sweet pop kind of feel—sort of like a Golden Retriever!

• Isabella - This cute cocker spaniel belongs to a couple who own a business in Seattle. I personally got to know the dog over the past year when I frequented their store and the song was a gift to them when the husband had knee surgery.

• Sweepy - When her owners purchased a PuppingTune at a Humane Society auction, they wanted a sweet, "classical or maybe baroque influenced song" about their very cute cockatiel. This tune about a most unusual pet bird is done in light operetta style.

• Rocky - Rocky was a little black Pomeranian who passed away at age 14, leaving his owner devastated. Her aunt and uncle decided to have a special memorial song written for Rocky in order to help her process the loss of her pet. They asked for something "kind of pop - maybe with a hint of Elton John . . ." something that was poignant yet celebrated the endearing memories as well.

• Koki - Koki is a special golden retriever - extremely talented in agility and obedience. Her owner wanted to celebrate her energy, spirit and accomplishments with an "oldie but goodie" type of tune!

• Norma - This song was written as a birthday gift for a person - a realtor named Norma, a woman with a wonderfully quirky personality and a big heart who loves to be pampered, looks out for the robins in her treetops, and enjoys the finer things in life.

 "We've just finished listening to the song for the sixth time with Sweepy. What can I say? Pure genius. Elegant, funny, clever and most of all perfect for our Sweepy. I was laughing like crazy and it brought my wife to tears. The painting was magnificent too. Please thank the artist for us. And to think that you both created these womderful pieces for the benefit of the Humane Society. I would be delighted to have you quote me . . .and use me as a reference. Thanks again!"  – Mark Kratter/Spokane (Sweepy)
