Its a Dogs Life!!!


Hi! My name is Hank. I'm a tall muscular, but not fat, English Pointer. Now I know what your thinking, Hank the Cow dog. My human brother Jason owns every single book of that series. Except one! Oh yes, he doesn't know it, but he is missing one crucial part of that series. Book #3, Its a dogs life! Ill let you in on a little secret of mine. That book, is under all the garbage, bones, hair and bedding fluff that I tore out of my bed, in the one place where I call home, and no human has been, My dog house. So Ive decided to tell my story on how exactly I got that book.

It was a fairly normal day, and Bill, my owner, decided to go quail hunting. He loaded me up, we went through the normal procedures of driving out there, unloading, and my favorite part, letting me sniff the quail, YUM! So I heard those delightful words of "Live bird, live bird, Lookin for live bird" in Bill's laid back kind of redneckish voice. So I was off to the races, looking for those devilish little flying creatures! AND THERE THEY WERE! Boom! I was on point like... well... an English Pointer. Up in the sky they went, BOOM BOOM BOOM! 3 dead right on the spot! I was off to retrive them, and brought them back to Bill. This went on, and I had a bird for every gun shot, well except the on Bill missed, but we don't talk about that often. We loaded back up, and went to the house, where I could smell Betty's (Bill's Wife) sweet aroma of Chicken and Dumplings.

Since I did soooooo good that day, Bill decided to let me go inside for a bit, while they ate dinner, and Jason even slipped me a couple of peices of chicken, mmmm. But, I had business to attend too. Ya see, I had been planning this for quite some time. Jason's girlfriend, Audrey, was eating a Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich one day, while looking at Jason's childhood books. Then IT happened... a big glob of grape jelly and peanut butter came from the bottom of the sandwich , and bagloop! right on the book! Oh, its was mean't to be from that point on. On to business! I wondered off into Jason's bedroom, and took a good sniff to see if there was any sneak attacks ready to get me... but none were present. So I leaped up on the bed, and grabbed it, quick as a bunny! Now the hard part, getting it back to base.

I walked into the Living room as casual as could be, except for the yellow book sticking out of my mouth. I observed a pattern in their eating, they all went down at the same time, to grab some of that ever so delicious food. I thought about getting some, but that would give my plan away, but... but... ok... I had to focus!

I saw that the door was unlocked, and I had practiced the opening of the back door with my paws technique many time before. So right as they went down to eat, BAM i made a dart for the door, opened and was in my house in a matter of seconds. I had done it.... and ohhhhh opening and licking and eating and savoring that peanut butter and jelly in those pages, was probably the best moments of my life... BUT DONT TELL ANYONE!
