Lovely Lyrics: When You Wish Upon a Star


I’ve been trying to decide which song to feature this week, and this one seems particularly appropriate.

Our little Ginny has been having a lot of back trouble lately.  We’ve been to our regular vet three times in the past two weeks and were referred to a neurologist this past Saturday.

Dachshunds are notorious for having back issues; their long bodies and their tendency to jump up to and down from the furniture can be a deadly combination.  Several years ago, we removed the headboard/footboard/frame from our bed and just have our box spring and mattress on the floor in hopes of minimizing any stress to our girls’ backs.  They spend their days in the family room and kitchen with no access to the stairs, and we have been fairly lucky up to this point with none of our six dogs experiencing major back issues (although you may recall that one of our family dogs, Holly, suffered a ruptured disk and was paralyzed as a result).

Ginny is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow morning and we are hoping it provides some answers for us. 




When You Wish Upon a Star
from Pinocchio

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true



Music by Leigh Herline
Lyrics by Ned Washington

Happy Tails to you!
