How much is that doggie in the window?

In my dream, I was back in school (Oh no! I can't believe it! I'm back in school!) It was Home Room period (I think) where the teacher had the students sing. My brother (who's two years younger than I am) had just finished singing and soon it was my turn.

The teacher had me sing (of all things) a song about pets and I wondered what "pet" song I would sing. I thought about it for a moment and said, "Hey! We have a dog!" (Actually, we never had a pet dog.) The teacher nodded in assent and I started racking my brain for songs about dogs.

After what seemed like an eternity, I smiled sheepishly and admitted that I'm not very familiar with songs about animals. The teacher then gave me a song book and I quickly leafed through the pages for a song about dogs.

And then I woke up.
