If you don’t have time to comb through social media all day, here’s what you’ve been missing over the last 24 hours or so in the country music world:
Courtesy Capitol NashvilleFans who pick up Darius Ruckers new Christmas album, Home for the Holidays, will notice an adorable little white dog sitting next to Darius on the back cover photo. It turns out thats Dariuss four-year-old pup, Shula, who was just hanging out at the house when Darius did the quick photo shoot for the new album.
Meet Trixie, the six-year-old Yorkie mix who cant help but “sing” along whenever she hears the catchy Old Crow Medicine Show tune. This trick is specific to the original version; not even Darius Ruckers better-known cover will get the hound howling along.
Whenever the track comes on, Trixie perks up and prepares to perform. As the chorus comes closer, she gets more and more excited. As “Rock me mama like a wagon wheel” starts to play through the speakers, Trixie starts singing (howling) along. Shes a little off tune, but with some practice were sure shell be just shy of perfect.
The dog is owned by a young woman named Katie, who says beyond singing Trixie enjoys sleeping, eating, looking outside the window and harassing birds. The pair now live together in Dallas, but were united when Katie was a student at Kansas State University. Katie says that Trixies singing was an event that her and her college friends used to laugh at, and she decided to put it on video.
Every dog has its day, and it happens to be this adorable dogs day whenever “Wagon Wheel” comes on the radio.
Trixie may not be up for a Grammy anytime soon, get a record deal, or actually give Rucker any kind of run for his money. But maybe this cute pooch will be able to put a smile on your face when she sings her little heart out to a classic country hit. Arent dogs just wonderful?
