	Story Behind the Song My friend Nancy's beautiful dog Chinook needed to be put to sleep. I imagined that if there was a dog heaven, that Chinook might take the time to tell Nancy what he was doing up there.... This live recording took place at the River Theatre in Astoria, Oregon, July 2001. It has a full intro, the song, and then a minute of bantering with the audience. Lyrics Dear Nancy, me and Rin-tin-tin have become great pals We breakfast on mammoth bones and terrorize Chihuahuas The humans who throw Frisbees never need to rest There are endless trees to pee on, this place is the best Love, Chinook Dear Nancy, you won’t believe today I caught a car Sank my teeth into the bumper, dragged it back to my backyard Dug a hole two miles deep and buried the whole thing It makes me drool to think that soon I’ll hear the postman ring Love, Chinook Dear Nancy, here’s a list of all the things I miss Howling while you sing and, of course, the way you kiss Pretending not to hear you call, my grand piano lair Oh, but Nancy, I don’t miss the scary basement stairs Love, Chinook Do you remember how sometimes in my sleep I’d kick my legs while I dreamed of catching sheep Up here in dog heaven when I curl up for a nap I sleep serene and dream my head is in your lap Dear Nancy, I watch you play with your new pups I hear you on the telephone, I see you glancing up I’m as close as the wind that licks away your tears This is more than puppy love, I’ll always be near Love, Love, Love Chinook
