Who's balls are those?

Well, it was a beautiful weekend here in Issaquah! On Friday we ended up not working and since it wasn't raining we took Hank over to Marymoor to run him around and get some fresh air. He had a GREAT time, ran all over the place, got soaking wet, and slept all day and night. Saturday was a lazy day, sleep, relax, watch football, mourn, etc.

Then today, Hank's dog trainer came for his last private lesson (they were free, we aren't that crazy). We worked on using a "wonder walker" which is a corrective walking thing that doesn't hurt Hank when we walk, but it corrects his walk when he tries to veer off from me. It's to help him heal next to me, and I think he'll be pretty good at it. Since it was an AMAZING day (it looked like August, blue skies & sunshine, amazing!) I took Hank up to Marymoor again for a reward. I couldn't believe how packed the parking lot was! We got a great spot up front, and off we went! Clearly, Hank knows his way around now, because by the time I caught up to him, he was at the SECOND opening to the river, not the first one, no, he kept going, he knew what he wanted. HE was IN the water when I found him, and since it was so nice, he (and all the other dogs) were dodging Kayakers out in the water! It was a zoo! Hank ran and jumped, and stole dogs balls (a favorite hobby at the dog park) and has been sleeping since we got home. It's actually supposed to be pretty nice this week, except for Monday, so hopefully it'll stick around to the weekend.

Hank gets to go to Day camp on Tuesday and Thursday this week given my work schedule, so that'll be nice. Hopefully he'll forgive us for ignoring him all the time while we're at work.
