"Thoughts" By Ben

So I've been thinking. We have stayed at a lot of people's homes in this trip and we are grateful for their hospitality, but we haven't given enough recognition to the canine companions along the way. I'd like to take this moment to acknowledge them and their contribution to our experience: Buddy in Newport News at Joe's pad, Jack at the Shishko's flat in NYC, Patty Flanagan at Kevin's digs in NYC, Snickers and Sydney at the Ledlies' casa in Detroit, Buddy at the Garty's place in Middlebury, that little annoying toy chihuahua at Gabe's house in Chicago, Cash, Cody, Jesse James, and the fourth one at Taryn's crib in Sacramento...and I guess that's it for now. We'll keep you posted on the whole HAIRY experience. Let me just PAWS right here and say that it's no BARK off my tree to hang with the dogs. Heh heh heh no but seriously, we are having a great time and I can't wait to see what other exciting things are in store.
