Hey there, fellow pups and humans! My name’s Voodoo, and I’ve got a tail to wag that’ll make your ears perk up. You might have heard of my human, a guy named Jimi Hendrix. Yeah, that Jimi Hendrix—the one who made guitars sing like they had a soul. But I’m not here to talk about him (well, not entirely). This story is about me and my unforgettable day at Como Lake Bark Park.
Growing Up with Jimi
Let me take you back a bit. I was just a little pup when Jimi found me, a scruffy thing at a rescue in Seattle. From the moment I saw him, I knew there was something special about that guy. He had a way with people, and he had a way with dogs too. He wasn’t just a guitar legend; he was a legend in my world, the world of belly rubs and ear scratches.
I spent my days lying at Jimi’s feet, soaking in those sweet, sweet sounds he made with his guitar. But I wasn’t just a passive listener—oh no, I was learning. With a few nudges, some well-placed barks, and a whole lot of tail wags, I picked up a thing or two. Before long, I was pawing at the strings, crafting my own canine chords.
Hitting the Stage at Como Lake
Now, let’s fast forward to last weekend. I had been laying low for a while, perfecting my craft. But I knew the time had come to share my music with the world—or at least with the crowd at Como Lake Bark Park. So, I grabbed my trusty electric guitar (yeah, I’ve got one, too), slung it over my back, and headed to the park.
As I strolled in, the sun was shining, the breeze was perfect, and I could feel the excitement in the air. The other dogs looked at me like, “Who’s this cool pup?” And the humans, well, they were just as curious. I set up my tiny amp (with a little help from my human sidekick) and gave the strings a strum. The sound that came out? Pure magic.
My Impromptu Concert
The park went wild as I started playing some of Jimi’s classics. “Purple Haze,” “All Along the Watchtower,” you name it—I played it. Dogs barked along, tails wagged in time, and even the humans couldn’t help but groove to the beat. For a moment, it was like Jimi was there with me, guiding my paws as they danced across the strings.
I ended my set with a rendition of “Little Wing,” a song Jimi wrote with a little inspiration from yours truly. The park was silent, everyone hanging on to those last notes as they floated through the air.
A Day to Remember
After my gig, I mingled with the crowd. A few lucky pups even got a guitar lesson or two from me. It was a day I’ll never forget—a day that reminded everyone that music, just like the bond between a dog and their human, is something that never dies.
As the sun began to set, I trotted off, my guitar slung over my back, feeling pretty proud of what I’d done. Jimi might be gone, but his spirit lives on in me, Voodoo Hendrix, the guitar-playing dog.
So, next time you’re at Como Lake Bark Park, keep your ears open. You just might catch a Hendrix riff on the wind, played by yours truly. And remember, every dog has a little rock star in them, just waiting to come out.
