Nickname: Hannah Banana, Beanpole

Hannah sprinted through the front door and ran laps around our house. I didn't even know we got a dog for Christmas because all I saw was just a black blur running around our house. She kept running around several times and then suddenly stopped in front of the ginuea pig cage in the kitchen. She barked and whined at the guinea pigs. It was hilarious. She was so fascinated by them. Every time I would make the noise my guinea pigs made, Hannah would come running.
Later on that winter, my best friend, Emily, and I took Hannah on a walk. She had so much energy and spunk that she ran off chasing a deer in the woods. I had to let go of the leash because she would have dragged me along with her. To get her back, I made the guinea pig noise. Emily and I would use it more as time went on to get Hannah to come to us. The more we used it, the less she would come.
The day we got Hannah, we took her to the common area by our house to go sledding. I was at the top of the hill holding her leash and someone went down on a sled fast down the hill. Hannah ran after the sled and dragged me all the way down to the bottom of the hill on my stomach. It hurt like hell, but it was hilarious.
I will always remember the first time I saw Hannah. We were at the Humane Society looking at dogs (i was obsessed) and I saw Hannah and thought she was so cute. Then I saw the puppies in the back room and ran to them. I called Julia over to come look but she kept saying to come see the dog she found. It was Hannah. She was licking Julia's hand. She licked my hand too. Looking back, it is funny because Hannah is NOT a licker unless she is really excited and happy or if you have food on your hands.
I would teach Hannah tricks. My favorite was rollover. But she was also a fan of singing. Hannah Banana (arf arf) Hannnnah Bannanana (arf arf arffffff) then she would howl.
