Theme Song
I’m constantly asked how JB and I stay so positive. As you all know, from the outside, it all looks easy – we all just have these rosy outlooks and we just seem to handle what comes our way. And while all that is true, what WE all know is that we definitely have our moments of fear, heart aches, second guessing, the blues and pure panic as to whether or not we’re doing the right thing. We don’t have answers, we just do what we think is right and do our best. And we look to each other for support because we all “get it”.
Anyway, so in addition to venting my fears etc. on this site, I have another secret weapon – Sammy and I have a theme song. Ok, I know this sounds corny – real corny, but it’s what I need some days…I’m not ashamed. When I have the blues and need a pick me up – I just step away, throw on my head phones and play our song as loud as I can. Sometimes I even play it 3-4 times. I often play it on my commute home so I charge in our front door ready for whatever is ahead of me. It gets my head in the game and makes me feel strong – whatever it takes, right!
So I’m offering up our fight song! Yup – going to share my cheesy secret to make you all laugh! But before you laugh…download it….play it…loud….and then tell me you don’t feel energized and ready to fight this crappy cancer thing! Ha! Here you go….
The Judds – I Will Stand By You.
Does anyone else have a theme song for you and your tripaw?
Ha…I’m giggling at all of you playing the song at the same time…we will rise above and fight!

Get Rhythm by Johnny Cash is a personal favorite. The Tripawd Tunes playlist includes lots of fun three legged dog songs!
Munko also started a forum topic where members have shared more inspirational tunes in tribute of their Tripawds. Please feel free to add yours.

Well, of course we have a theme song — Rio, by Duran Duran. And you thought your’s was cheesy!!!
The other one that’s been banging around in my head like a rabid earworm on steroids lately is the one from the movie, Love Actually: All I Want for Christmas is Woo (sic You)!
Micki and the Woo

We have a theme song too: “Tonight” by Tobymac. My kids dance to it, Finchy wiggles to it, and Chili dawg used to get excited when I cranked it up. I love it, because when it comes on the radio in the car, both kids immediately start dancing in their car seats to it. It’s good to know that I am not alone in the theme song area 🙂

I love that — reminds me of summer vacations growing up! My dad was in a barbershop quartet and so used to teach us all the songs to sing in the car! Def a song that puts a smile on my face! xo
