I first heard this song on Hearing Voices after my son had rescued a pit bull off the mean streets of Phoenix. I'd been very nervous about the dog due to all the bad press the breed gets but then I heard the love in the lyrics about this aging pit bull. I gave my son's new buddy, Garfield, a second look. He's as sweet and devoted a dog friend as you could ever want. I'm glad Jonathan Richman created a positive note for this much maligned breed. Thanks for posting Our Dog is Getting Older Now.

I love programs about animals, especially companion animals. What was really amazing, though, was the reaction of Geoffrey and Spooky, my two cats, at the show's final segment. Whether that really was a cat being given a bath -- and I hope is wasn't, since cats really do hate baths -- the cat's vocalizations were so astonishing, outstanding and REAL that both Geoffrey & Spooky ran to the bedroom where I was listening, jumped onto the night table where the radio sits, stared at it, and kept walking around the radio, trying to figure out where the cat was!! They really thought that a third cat was in the apartment, in the bedroom, & they couldn't figure out why they couldn't find -- see, smell, &, no doubt, attack -- the hidden cat! I'm wondering if any other listeners had a similar experience with their cat(s). Thanks for quite an unusual night! Really enjoyed this show, even though I do not have (or am not owned by) a dog.

I woke up to it, was it a dream? Why do the New Yorkers' voices that Tony Schwartz recorded sound like old black & white TV voices to me? Is it the 1950s New York accents? The fact that people smoked more then, making their voices just a little harsher, just a little edgier? Some magic in the microphone he used? I happen to love those voices. "Dog" by Ferlinghetti (did he say the cop is just a fire hydrant to my dog?) and Laura Silverman rewarded me too. All of it. I do not have a dog. I loved this show! I woke up to it, was it a dream?

And I don't even have a dog. Laura Silverman had me laughing aloud on the subway. How embarassing! But John & Nippy - the one with the man talking very mater of factly while his dog sang along with an accordian was so bizarre that I had to hear it again.

First time to hear HV. I laughed out loud to hear the prayer: "Lord help me to be the man my dog thinks I am!" LMAO!! I am not a "dog" (or "cat") person, but the stories were very touching and evocative. Excellent! Love on-line radio: ear candy! Thx. GREAT SHOW!! First time to hear HV.

I've been scouring the internet for Jonathan Richman's Our Dog is Getting Older Now - and can only find it at Amazon.UK - where they won't let me download - quelle bummer, or as part of a $26 import kids cd - Colours are Brighter.

I was moved and laughed out loud at Nippy. We, too, have a 13 year old collie cross that sings to the piano and tries to match the mood and the notes; He also remembers songs from his childhood and when his "part" starts. We here in Berlin feel blessed by all the ways that NPR enriches our lives. Thank you so much. So enjoyed everything about this segment on NPR today. I was moved and laughed out loud at Nippy.
