My dad used to read this to me at bed time (my mom did "The Owl and the Pussycat") - anyhow there's something about the rhythm that seems to work for Shelby.

Anyone else have a favorite poem to settle the pup? Reading it out loud also relaxes me - so it's a win win.

(or am I a totally over the top Yorkie dad?)

You are a very cool Yorkie dad, and your parents sound like they were pretty darn cool to be around!
