Day 10 (September 16, 2015)

Evening Question
The first person to correctly comment on the author of this quote receives two (2) CNN points:

Highlights of Day 10 include:

• "Don't know if Shiloh's gettin' more human or I'm gettin' to be more dog. If Jesus ever comes back to earth again, I'm thinking, he'll come as a dog, because there isn't anything as humble or patient or loving or loyal as the dog I have in my arms right now."
