Episode 6 - Hannah Goes to Venice

As much as I would have loved the dogs to be involved in our actual proposal story, they were not.  It's kind of fun to imagine what could have happened though!  

Episode 6
The final story in this series finds Hannah and Nova traveling to Italy with their parents.  When Nova’s dad unknowingly drops the engagement ring he has to propose to Hannah’s mom, the dogs have to find their parents in Venice and make sure the proposal happens!

A darling creation of the gondola ride in Venice with the dogs made for our wedding cake topper.

Episode 5 - Hannah the Red Nosed Rein-dog

Our first Christmas together, I took oodles of pictures of Hannah with reindeer antlers on.  Hence, the inspiration for this episode...

Episode 5

  It's the night before Christmas, but Santa has a problem.  He turns to the fairy god-rabbit to help him, but the fairy god-rabbit also needs help.  Who better to assist her than Hannah and Nova?

Episode 4 - Hannah Goes to the Farm

This is my personal favorite of the stories, and inspired by one of my favorite places, my grandmother's farm.  

Episode 4

  Now good friends, Hannah and Nova travel to a farm with their parents for a family reunion where they meet all kinds of farm animals. Hannah’s love of cheese makes her a little too curious about the cows and she finds herself the farthest she has ever been from her mommy!

Episode 3 - Hannah Makes a Friend

At this point in my life, I had met my future husband, who had a dog named Nova.  From here on out, Nova is Hannah's sidekick.  

Episode 3

           Hannah meets Nova, a bouncy little dog with one ear that flops down and a long tail, slightly curled at the end, while on a hike with their parents.  Hannah is a bit shy and isn't too friendly with Nova until they get lost in the woods together. How will the two get back to their parents?

Episode 2 - Hannah Goes for a Swim in the Ocean

 In real life, I can't walk by a storm drain without Hannah shoving her head into the drain.  I think all the smells and animals who like to live in those drains are what attracts her so much. It started me thinking, what if she fell down the drain...and then I wrote this story.

Episode 2

In this adventure, Hannah falls down a storm drain and gets carried into the ocean where she meets a sea turtle, Tatty.  Tatty takes Hannah to meet her family on an island, where they enlist the help of dolphins to get her back to shore.  The fairy god rabbit takes it from there. 

I imagine this to look like the beach she returns to at the end of the story.

Episode 1 - Hannah Finds a Cave

This is the story that started it all off!  I was actually sitting in a training to learn how to use Garage Band after work one day.  We were supposed to say a line into the microphone on the computer.  Well, what did I have to say that was interesting?  Not much...so what is one of my favorite topics?  Hannah.  My dog.  And so the first line was born.  I couldn't stop there, and when I went home, I continued the story right on Garage Band without writing anything down (which means of course there is a high degree of silliness).  I did use real inspiration for the story.   Hannah really does love to chase rabbits.  She really does love to stick her head into holes.  She doesn't just put her nose in to smell.  She dives in with all her strength, lightening speed, without regard for the consequences.

As fun and interesting as I find my dog, it always makes the story a little more interesting to have some magical characters and crazy circumstances.  The rabbit she was chasing ends up being a fairy god-rabbit.  This rabbit is there to make her dreams come true.  And what do dogs love the most?  You may think bones...but one thing you know, if you know Hannah, is that she actually loves cheese.  The other thing you know is that Hannah is very attached to her mother.  So, once this all heart and emotion driven dog comes down from her overpowering instincts, her first priority is to get back to her mother.  How to do that when you are stuck in a cave?  The fairy god-rabbit of course.

Add in some sound effects and background music, and the story takes on a life of its own.

This is the story that really just sets up the rest of the stories.  Join Hannah in her adventures, making new friends, obsessing about cheese, and finding herself separated from her mother, all with the magical help of a fairy god-rabbit.
