To Grandma's House we go!

Well, we made it to Grandma Paula's last night in Pasco. Hank did great in the car on the ride over, AND got to play in snow for a couple of minutes during a potty break. We arrived last night and Hank did GREAT! He sniffed out stuff, and Paula panicked at how HUGE Hank is. But, it didn't take too long for her to realize that he's a huge teddy bear and really just wants to snuggle and play.

And then Josh & Jaimie arrived...evidently Josh was maimed/sniffed by/saw a couple dogs when he was a kid and has been scared of big dogs ever since. So, he's gotten to the petting the top of Hank's head point, which is good. AND, they've all learned that if you tell Hank to STAY, he does. It's the miracle of having a trained dog!

Today in the light (and 20+ degrees), we have been able to take Hank out into the backyard that Paula shares with Jeremiah's aunt & uncle, they don't have a fence so Hank has a BIG area to run around in. And, it's not fenced in well at all, but he does great! We saw cats earlier and heard dogs, but Hank's one track mind has been on the balls! He's having a blast, and is now passed out on the floor while we watch Santa on the Parade! Hooray!
