My humans took a trip and being very progressive they decided that I should choose my temporary replacement human to keep me safe, feed me, play with me, take me for walks & runs, give me belly rubs on demand, shower me with the love and affection I deserve, and keep my home clean and tidy the way I like it. After asking if I’d like the human named Eric to be the one, whom I met when he was taking care of a neighbor dog, Milo, my tail started to wag. I have no direct control over this tail wagging thing, but my humans thought it was meaningful. And then Eric came not long after. I was SO happy to see him! When my humans left for their trip, Eric took me for walks, gave me lots of belly rubs, took care of me when I was startled by the fireworks, gave me lots of treats, played ball with me, and…played ball with me again. And he took me to places where I could run free! I sure hope my humans take me to those places. That was fun and sometimes muddy (I didn’t like the baths after, though). We had a lot of fun together. He’s the best. I missed my regular humans but Eric is second best to them. I hope Eric comes back again so we can continue our friendship.

P.S.: From Chica’s ‘humans:’ Eric is not only responsible and attentive, he is such a wonderful person. We feel fortunate to know him. Our dog, Chica got lucky, as did we.
