“What problems, what forces

Against us shall bide

While the stars in their courses

Do fight on our side?”

You may have noticed that we are really grooving on the concept of the universe wanting all of us to succeed, to thrive, and to love ourselves as well as each other. During a recent visit with our own Granny Dog (AKA Jeanie Murphy,) we were honored to receive and record a banjo-backed song version of our epic poem from Season 2, Episode 15 called The Dogstrologer’s Song.

The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland is created in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Tribes of the first people who made their homes along the rivers.

Banjo! Astrology! Affirmations! Love! Go!

Finally! We have found President Bernie Sandals! And, he has got to be the YANGist thing to ever happen to TIME YIN. Where has Bernie been? Who is behind the mysterious voice of Time Yin? And where will these dogs go next? Will there be pizza? Many season-long mysteries are at least partially solved in this illuminating episode. Listen closely, and you may hear what Bernie’s middle name is, and it’s a doozy!

We also meet a new, special character based on one of Hank’s teachers. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, then you know we’ve based a couple of characters on our wonderful teachers, and there will be more to come! Thank you to all of the educators who teach and care for our kids. Y’all really do make our world go ‘round.

Special thanks to Jason Roark, our creative partner and ultimate Renaissance Bunny Supreme! He records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard.

Our song that plays at the end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!”

Power Dog proposes a truce with the most difficult individual he has ever met in his life. They need to solve a puzzle and investigate a strange voice in a strange place. Will the resources he’s gathered in his journey so far help?

Join Power Dog as he bids adieu (for now?) to the characters and place from Stories For Wonderful Children, and continues along his fantastical journey. Will he finally get to the dragon world of Draconus?

We discuss the concepts of emotional flooding, feeling overwhelmed, and attempting to shut down in this episode. We also begin a mini storyline about the moments when someone else is challenging us.

We are so pleased to share part two of this next leg of Power Dog’s adventure- a crossover tale of tails in which we visit the characters and place from Stories For Wonderful Children! Hosted by Dan Wendelin, this podcast is a fellow member show in the wonderful organization we belong to dedicated to high-quality audio for families called Kids Listen. You can also read more about Dan and his show on the Kids Listen Medium channel here: https://medium.com/kidslisten/get-to-know-a-show-stories-for-wonderful-children-d383379ecea9

Hank would like to especially recommend that you listen to all of Dan's stories, and especially the short series featuring the Cats of the Elysium. From Dan, "Deep in Antarctica lies the mystical Cat Elysium, a magical paradise for Flibbertygibit's feline subjects. Flip-Flop, the prankster of the royal cat family passes idyllic days there as caretaker. But when trouble comes to the Elysium, will Flip-Flop's joking ways be able to rise to the challenge?" The best place to start is with Stories For Wonderful Children Episode 37: Where's Flibbertygibit.

Thank you for tuning in to a special, bedtime-friendly bonus episode of The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland about falling in love with the sea! There’s no loud, be-bopping rock anthem or toe-tapping banjo fun in this episode. Instead, you’ll hear Phoebe’s “sleepytime” voice, soothing ocean waves, and gentle music. We even end the episode with a solid five minutes of ocean waves gently splashing on soft, silky sand.

And, as many listeners have requested, this is a story about Taffy, Power Dog’s first cousin, and Tuffy’s twin sister. We have sometimes referred to her as the bravest dog in all of Dogland, but a quality she has that we really admire is her curiosity. For this young pup who sat by the sea and who wondered — and for other puppies who wonder — What sea stories are yet to be told?

We explain what “zoomies” are, how water travels through the world to become part of the ocean, what is left when you dry out ocean water, and what salt and lime crystals look like under a microscope.

This story is based on the first part of a short and lovely book in the public domain called Sea Stories for Wonder Eyes by Mary Earle Hardy. You can hear the book read to you for free at Librivox.com- an incredible online catalog of free, public domain audiobooks read by volunteers from around the world. A note to grownups: because most of the books, short stories, and poems featured in Librivox are from around a century ago, some content may not feel suitable for your families to listen to and might be worth a preview before sharing with your younger people. Feel free to reach out via our many social channels or email if you want to discuss this further.

Special thanks to Anders Lund for helping us record this episode. And, thanks as well to the über-talented artists at Orange Free Sounds, who provide a robust library of music and sound effects for others to use. This episode was edited using the phenomenally easy & intuitive Descript App, which we wholeheartedly recommend. (Affiliate link benefits our show.)

If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

“What problems, what forces

Against us shall bide

While the stars in their courses

Do fight on our side?”

Adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s The Astrologer’s Song, this episode uses epic poetry to visit a dream state before Power Dog goes on to the next leg of his journey in our unfolding epic tale of tails for season two. 

We strongly believe in the power of poetry! If you’d like to read more about why it is so important for students, then we highly recommend reading this article from Edutopia: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/five-reasons-poetry-needed-schools-elena-aguilar. Art is the crucial language of emotion, and poetry refines our language. Poetry is music, and poetry is therapy. Poetry is joy, and poetry can be a righteous rage. It can teach social-emotional learning and help us find better ways to understand ourselves and others.

If you love this episode, and it leaves you hungry for more great poetry for kids, we highly recommend checking out our friends and fellow Kids Listen member shows Buttons & Figs, Kids Poetry Club, and Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater- a musical story podcast with wonderful poetry and poetic language stitched into the music and dialog.

The action ramps up for the puppy squad in this extremely exciting 14th episode of Season 2. Parents can let kids who get a little frightened or concerned know that things may get a little hairy & scary at first, but those things will work out, and the way they will work out might just surprise and delight us all! Come with us to Dogland, and even the Dogmos, as we’ve got special tales to tell!
