Songs & Activities:
My Dog Rags
I have a dog, his name is Rags
He eats so much his belly sags
His ears flip flop, and his tail wig wags
And when he walks he goes zig-zag

Chorus:
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag;
I love Rags and he loves me.

My dog Rags, he loves to play.
He rolls around in the mud all day.
I whistle and I whistle but he won’t obey.
He always runs the other way!
Chorus

Digger Dog
I have a little doggie, her paws are very big.
And when she goes outside she likes to dig and dig and dig.
She puts her bone into the hole, and covers it in a snap.
Puts one paw on the other and lies down to take a nap (zzzzzzz)!

Craft—Valentine's Pup:

This was a super fun way to combine our theme with Valentine's celebrations.  The after-school crowd really enjoyed the left-overs!
