"On The Porch"

"Elliott" has been writing occasional columns and blogs for a few years now. He's an old hound dog who uses his nose and ears to keep up with college football news and gossip in the town of Porchville. He likes country music, baseball on the radio and a splash of bourbon in his water at night. His owner, Luke, takes him just about everywhere, including daily trips into town to hang out on the porch of the Crossroads Store.
