Tonight we have a guest blog from author Chip Howe, the dog we are caring for this week.
It’s my last day at the Hummel’s. I stayed in the crate all day. Abby came home from work. I WAS SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! SHE’S MY FAVORITE!!!!! She played with me. IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!! PLAYING IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER!!!!! She scratched my ears!!! I couldn’t stop wagging my tail!!!!! Do I even have a tail??? Let me sniff around and see if I can find it!!!!! We went into the kitchen and there are so many smells there! SMELLING IS MY FAVORITE!!!!! She started making dinner and accidentally dropped some food! HOORAY! I LOVE EATING PEOPLE FOOD OFF THE FLOOR!!!! After an hour, she remembered that I might need to go outside to take care of a few matters of doggy business since I had been in the crate all day…and BEING OUTSIDE IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER!!!!! I drank a whole bowl of water! WATER IS SO DELICIOUS!!!! I LOVE DRINKING IT!!!! Aaron came home from work! AWESOME! HE’S MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!! He took me for a run! I LOVE RUNNING! IT IS SO AWESOME!!!!! They sat at the table and ate dinner! I couldn’t help but stick my nose right next to their plates. They swatted me away and I cuddled on their carpet. It’s so soft and I know they will play with me soon! They decided to watch a movie tonight and brought me to the back room!!! I LOVE SITTING IN ALL THESE BLANKETS!!!!! They won’t let me sit on the couch but I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN! MOVIES ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!! They have my same dry dog food from home here! I LOVE MY DOG FOOD!!!!!!!!! And then before bed I can chew on my rawhide bone! RAWHIDE IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE BEING A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m even in a movie!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!! WE ARE ALL AMAZING!!!!!!!!!


It seems like dogs are really happy at your house, maybe our dog would like come and live with you.
After watching this video I am a little concerned. Are you sure that Aaron doesn’t think he is a dog?
You guys should get a dog! That video reminded me of the Aaron that only (and always) came out around Abe… good old Abe.
Aaron might think he is a dog, Beth… that is a distinct possibility. I have to say that for as much work as a dog was (and he was a good one! I’m sure a puppy would be 10x more challenging, too!) it would be better to just have a child. That’s quite a bit of effort for something that doesn’t have a soul… but it was fun to have one for a week! We both really enjoyed it.
How did I not discover this fantastic post until now? It might have made me laugh out loud. Please get a dog!
Hannah, I think one of your foster kittens should write on your blog, too…

Hey what kind of a dog is it?
Not sure about his genetics- but he’s good-looking and lots of fun!
