Can You Dig It?

I have a new favortie song.  It's all about my favorite things!  Let me share some of the lyrics along with my commentary.  Then, I'll show you a cool video of the whole song.  Can you dig it?

The song is called Grazing in the Grass and is sung by The Friends of Distinction.

It starts...

It sure is mellow grazin' in the grass.

(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?)

I love both grazin' and gazin' in the grass.  It's one of my favorite things to do in the backyard on a lazy summer day.  We don't really have much grass left for me to graze in, though.  It's been very, very dry lately.  As much as I hate rain and hate getting wet, I would like a little rain to give me more grass to graze in and gaze at.  Here's an old picture of me enjoying the grass.  (It's also my profile picture!)

Gazin' and Grazin' in the Grass (When there actually was grass around here.)

The song continues...

There are so many good things to see

While grazin' in the grass

(Grazin' in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it?)

Flowers with colors for takin'

Everything outta sight in the grass

I love looking at the flowers, birds and everything else.  It's so fun for me to spend my days watching the world go by.  The only problem is that sometimes as I'm grazing, I accidentially eat a mushroom or two.  When that happens, the world looks a little bit more like Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit, which is also a great song.  I'm pretty sure the rabbit loses his head at the end.

Watch out for the mushrooms!

Then there are some other cool lyrics, but I'm going to skip ahead to my favorite part.  It's all about digging!!!!!

 I can dig it, he can dig it

She can dig it, we can dig it

They can dig it, you can dig it

Oh, let's dig it

Can you dig it, baby?

Pure poetry!  I love to think of this song as my theme song, at least when my people are looking the other way. ;-) (You have to wait 10 seconds into the video until my people stop watching me.)

Although digging is very fun, it also serves a very important purpose.  My life's goal is to keep the world safe from burrowing animals, and I can only do that if I keep my digging skills sharp.

Thank you for allowing me to share one of my favorite songs with you.  Now, for your viewing pleasure, here is the full video of Friends of Distinction singing the song.  They are fun to watch.

Hmmm... They seem to have removed the full Grazing in the Grass video, but I found a partial video here.  It's still worth watching, but I miss seeing the full length one. :-(

With a little digging (my specialty), I was able to find another full-length version.  I'll still leave the partial version in case this one disappears, too.
