OK pals, here is another one for you. This song was written sometime around 1300 by a Dominican mystic, Heinrich Suso. Now, you may not know it, but some of my best friends are Dominican priests and brothers. And one of them once told me that the name of their order comes from the Latin words, Domini Canes. Translated: God's Dogs. So, I think this is very appropriate. For those of you who like to hum along, the tune is the same as In Dulce Julbilo, and some guy named Bach has a version that might be in the top ten any day now.
Good doggie friends rejoice
With bark and yip give voice!
Give ye heed to what we say
Happy Holidays today
Parents, friends may come and see
Join our doggie jubiliee
