The Girl From Ipanema

Hello, everyone!  It's me, D'Azul's Girl From Ipanema, just call me Camo.  I'm very happy here in my new home!  I think I have most of the routines down-pat now - I'm especially good at the part about going over to where the treats are kept when we get back from a walk patrolling the neighborhood.  I haven't quite mastered the sitting first part, but I'm working on it!

The other night, I had a little bit of a hard time with settling in for napping/TV time after the after-dinner patrol.

"Follow my lead, Camo!  Zzzz..."
"I'm trying, Zim."

I just had a hard time settling in like Zim did.  Dave, my David, came over to check on me.

"What's the matter, little sis?"
"I can't settle, Dave.  Would you sing it to me again?  Please???"

He said he'd sing it for me - just one more time.  He knows it helps me relax!

♩ ♩"Olha que coisa mais linda, 
Mais cheia de graça. 
É ela a menina que vem e que passa, 
num doce balanço a caminho do mar. 
Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema,
 O seu balançado émais que um poema, 
Éa coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar. 
 Woooo, por que estou tão sozinho? 
Woooo, por que tudo é tão triste? 
Wooooo, a beleza que existe, 
A beleza que não é só minha, 
Que também passa sozinha. 
 Ah, se ela soubesse 
Que, quando ela passa,
 O mundo inteirinho se enche de graça 
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor ..." ♩ ♩

Sigh.  He even knows all the Portuguese words.  My mom didn't get Dave on video singing, but these bipeds do a pretty good job with my song:

If that doesn't play, you can view it on this link on YouTube.

"Is that kid cute enough?  Sheesh!"
"Zzzz..."

That song does the trick for me!  Aren't I lucky that it's one of Dave's favorite songs?!?

Camo!
