Koda's Story
Koda, the sweet Shar-pei Basset hound mix, loved to be as close as possible, often snuggling right beside her person. Her excited greetings at the door, full of jumps and a wagging tail, were a constant source of joy, and she embraced her role as a faithful copilot on every drive. Now, she is undoubtedly doing her zoomies, chasing squirrels with all her heart.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
I remember the first night we met,
A bond I could never forget.
You snuggled so close, a sweet little pup,
As if no space could ever fill up.
With wrinkled brow and floppy ears so grand,
You found your place right here in my hand.
A Shar-pei Basset, a perfect blend,
My loyal, dearest, furry friend.
Chorus
Oh, Koda, my Koda, nine years flew by,
Beneath the same vast, open sky.
Though now the house feels empty and still,
Your paw prints remain, my heart they fill.
Verse 2
No matter the day, or how long I was gone,
Your happy greeting carried on.
A frantic dance at the open door,
Jumping high, then asking for more.
Your tail a blur, a joyful beat,
Paws tap-dancing on happy feet.
That pure excitement, a treasured sight,
Always making everything bright.
Chorus
Oh, Koda, my Koda, nine years flew by,
Beneath the same vast, open sky.
Though now the house feels empty and still,
Your paw prints remain, my heart they fill.
Verse 3
You were always right there, close by my side,
A faithful shadow, nowhere to hide.
The jingle of harness, your world would ignite,
Ready for walks, bathed in morning light.
Then off you would go, in a joyous wild race,
Vanilla ice cream dish held in its place.
Into the bedroom, away from the cats' gaze,
Through all of our wonderful days.
Chorus
Oh, Koda, my Koda, nine years flew by,
Beneath the same vast, open sky.
Though now the house feels empty and still,
Your paw prints remain, my heart they fill.
Bridge
"I love you, baby girl," a whisper so low,
More than you ever will know.
My best friend and copilot, through every mile,
I'll carry your spirit, and remember your smile.
Instrumental - acoustic guitar, harmonica, upright bass
Final Chorus
Oh, Koda, my Koda, nine years flew by,
Beneath the same vast, open sky.
Though now the house feels empty and still,
Your paw prints remain, my heart they fill.
Outro - acoustic guitar fade
Now you're running free, light as the air,
Doing your zoomies without a care.
Chasing the squirrels across the green ground,
Peaceful and happy, forever unbound.
