This is Rumbull Strip, America, Howman.

Okay.

I'm on my list.

The list, the list, the list.

The list, the list. Dog brush.

Oh, yeah. Dog bowls and treats.

Do we need a calendar with dogs on? This is Chris and Beth shopping for puppy

supplies two days before the arrival of their new puppy, Mouse. You've heard Chris and Beth

before on Rumble Strip in a show called Chris and Beth sing.

I ate too much potato. I ate too much potato. Anyway, Chris wrote to tell me they were getting a puppy, and I've been thinking about getting a dog myself for years.

And even though I'm the mother of an 18-year-old human, I've never felt grown up enough to have my own dog.

So when Chris told me that he and Beth were getting a puppy, I asked if he would be willing to record it,

record what it was like, and he did. And for the last seven months, I've been

getting tape from Chris and Beth in Birmingham, England, and every time I see a

new recording in my inbox, it's like Christmas. Because the stories are so good and they're so weird and so harrowing.

So here is the puppy diaries with Chris and Beth. Fair warning, There's a lot of swearing in this show as there

should be. Welcome.

You're in vomit, feces, mud marks, not on summer breeze. I don't like how aggressive this one is.

Saturated area thoroughly.

Chapter 1 the night before the puppy.

Okay go. Okay, go.

Okay, go, talk about the dog.
