Miyagi's Story
Miyagi, the handsome black and white fluffy Shih Tzu, was a beloved presence, known for his stubborn charm and joyful greetings, always picking up a toy to race circles through the living and dining rooms. He had a voracious appetite, always darting into the kitchen at the rattling of a pan, and offered such comforting cuddles and snoring, especially during late-night dissertation writing sessions.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, ukulele
Verse 1
A handsome little boy, so fluffy and so proud
You wouldn't go outside unless you led the crowd
With every pan that rattled, you'd race into the room
Your appetite voracious, dispelling any gloom
You'd sit and give your paw, a trick you knew so well
For a tasty little morsel, under your gentle spell
Chorus
Oh, Miyagi, my sweet boy, you filled my life with grace
Nearly eighteen cherished years, a smile upon your face
You taught me boundless joy, a love so pure and true
Forever in my heart, I will remember you
Verse 2
I loved our morning cuddles, and sleepy nights we'd share
Your soft and comforting snore, floating on the air
The moment I walked in, your happy dance would start
A toy held in your mouth, straight from your loving heart
Around the room in circles, you'd run with joyful glee
Happier to see me, than anyone could be
Chorus
Oh, Miyagi, my sweet boy, you filled my life with grace
Nearly eighteen cherished years, a smile upon your face
You taught me boundless joy, a love so pure and true
Forever in my heart, I will remember you
Verse 3
You made our house a warmer place, with every gentle sigh,
A loyal heart, a steadfast friend, as years went swiftly by.
Through every season, calm or storm, you brightened every day,
And with your quiet, loving soul, you chased the blues away.
Bridge
You took me on a journey, the best one of my life
My best buddy and friend, through every struggle and strife
Those 3 a.m. dissertation nights, I never would have known
Without you by my side, I'd feel so all alone
I'll love you till the end of time, my dearest, precious boy
Until we meet again, my source of endless joy

Final Chorus
Oh, Miyagi, my sweet boy, you filled my life with grace
Nearly eighteen cherished years, a smile upon your face
You taught me boundless joy, a love so pure and true
Forever in my heart, I will remember you
Outro
Now on a puffy white cloud, in the warm and golden sun
You watch your doggy friends, as they happily play and run
Anticipating dinner, hamburger and sweet potato, too
With a little bit of broccoli, as you look down on all of us, smiling through
Outro - ukulele fade
