Jet likes to draw trees. Boy dogs like to do their ‘business’ on trees. Me? I like trees because they store squirrels. What a thrill.
It turns out that the squirrels in this area live in ‘hollows’ of trees. I looked up the word and discovered it meant cavity or small shallow valley but it also meant insincere and meaningless. Too many of these hollows mean a tree is either dying or already like the standing dead. Being a deductive thinking dog, it was easy to understand that in the squirrel world, hollow means a shallow hole; in the human world, it’s not so clear to me so I asked Jet about it. She said some humans have shallow holes in them just like trees.
Hmmm.
Based on what I learned, I would describe hollow humans as people that fake their feelings and/or care about others but only in a shallow level. It’s like one of Jet’s FORMER boyfriends. He used to act like he really enjoyed me and the other critters because he thought this would ingratiate (word of the day) himself with Jet. Dogs see right through that stuff and lucky for us Jet did too.
So, here’s my lesson of the day… Unless you’re a squirrel a hollow tree is not a good thing; unless you’re a hollow human, another hollow human is not a good thing. My advice, if you see a hollow human, do what I recommend to squirrels when they see me coming and run away like the wind.
Hey Dippit:
I presume the word you are looking for is idiosyncrasies or characteristics of different breeds. I believe the website below will help. The site provides a photo and description in alphabetical order. I believe your humans will enjoy the search this way.

Be sure to give Jet’s frieds a big sloppy kiss for making the commitment to adopt a dog.
