I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die - it's a major offence.
These songs are old friends I have entertained myself with when I'm washing the dishes, driving to the store and walking down the aisles. The ones that you sing when you're driving in the car and as a singer you always go back to them.
Nothing in life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.
