Searchin' For My Lost Kong Dummie...

Chesachobeeville

A song about Taku, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever who loves his Kong...

Where's Chesachobeeville?

Chesachobeeville is based on a real place in Southeast Alaska, within the Borough Of Juneau, called the "Mendenhall Wetlands". I renamed it because it was Taku's "place" and Taku is from the Chesachobee line of Chessies. Hence, Chesachobeeville. It is a dyke road, with tidal beach on one side and fresh water ponds on the other side. It is a perfect place to exercise and train a young male Chessie and incredibly beautiful too! Doreen and Taku used to walk the three mile round trip daily, during the three years they lived here, no matter what the weather. They knew almost every person and dog on the road.

Taku's favorite retrieve object is a rubber kong tug toy on a rope which he is simply nuts over. But every once in awhile he would lose it....

And now, on with the song...

Chesachobeeville
(to the tune of "Margaritaville" with my sincere apologies to Jimmy Buffet)

Sniffin' the dog scents, watching the rain drench,
All of those humans without any fur
Gary's cooking my dinner, on the old Webber
I can smell that salmon beginning to burn.

REFRAIN:
Chasin' away again in Chesachobeeville
Searchin' for my lost kong dummie
Some humans claim there's a female to blame
But I know, I did not retrieve


Don't know the reason, Bitches come into season
Has something to do with their brand new perfume
But it's secondary, to the task that's primary
and where I lost it I haven't a clue

REFRAIN:
Chasin' away again in Chesachobeeville
Searchin' for my lost kong dummie
Some humans claim there's a female to blame
But I know, I did not retrieve

...Musical Interlude...If you're singing along, please wait...

Threw on my harness, got in the car next
Left my tags, had to cruise on back home
Doreen's in the kitchen, and soon she'll be bitchin'
"FIND THAT SLIMY ADDICTION THAT HELPS YOU HANG ON"

REFRAIN:
Chasin' away again in Chesachobeeville
Searchin' for my lost kong dummie
Some humans claim there's a female to blame
But I know, I did not retrieve

Yes, I know, it can't be my fault
Cause I know that I am a dog.


I wrote the alternative lyrics to the song, Margaritaville, with complete and utter respect for Jimmy Buffet's wonderful music. Doreen, Gary and I are three of his loyalest fans in the world. It is exciting to finally have sound on this page!
