Hank the Magician...

The fun never ends in casa de Case! Today, we had to leave Hank home alone while we were at work. Jeremiah was in the Seattle office this morning, and then was going to stop by home around noon, to take Hank out for a potty break, then off to Boeing.

So, Jeremiah calls me around 11:30 to say he's home, AND, well...new adventures. Hank is still wearing the cone, he was laying on the floor looking out the window towards the street. Oh yeah...and he had magically ripped out the tube that was helping his ankle DRAIN. Great! We were going to pay the vet good money (yeah, not really an assumption when you're 99% sure) to take OUT the tube and the stitches on Saturday, but Hank just went ahead and took care of that for us. He's clearly Jeremiah's.

So, I called the nurse at the vet's office, poor Megan HAS to hate me, I've called every day since Tuesday. But, that's her fault for offering. Anyway, at first she thought we'd be OK, then as we discussed a little more, she decided to ask the Vet, and he said yeah, come on in.

So, I leave work, run home, grab Jeremiah & Hank (yes it IS a two person job, especially with that damn cone on his head!) and go to the vet. They were kind of amazed that he had the eCollar (cone thing) on his head AND still got the tube out. Yup, our dog does have para-normal powers. So, they took out the stitches, and gave us some cleaning solution. $15 later and we're on the road...

Jeremiah was able to work from home this afternoon (I am SO glad he's been able to do this,(he'd like me to add that he's AMAZING) my week was nuts since I was sick on Monday-thanks Rio). Tomorrow WILL be crazy, since Jeremiah actually has to show his face in the office at least once or twice this week. I'll take a LONG lunch and come home to check on Hank. We have to keep an eye on him to make sure he's not licking at the now-open wound. It's lovely by the way...

Oh yeah, speaking of his magical powers....

1. he's decided to stop controlling his urinary tract, oh boy. Again, Jeremiah is THE BEST for taking him out at 4 AM today...

2. We stopped at Subway on the way back home. We left him in the BACK of the car. We have a Honda CRV, so he's usually pretty safe. We go inside, grab sandwiches and are back out within MAYBE 5 minutes...I turn around to walk out the door, and Hank is standing between the two front seats WITH THE CONE ON! We're beyond speculating how he does this...Jeremiah decided to go with this scenario:

Hank got bored of us, opened up the back trunk, got out, walked around, opened the back door, jumped in, locked the door and waited. It's actually a legit options since he HAS opened the door from our garage, broke out of a gate, and broken free from a kennel if you recall from our first week of ownership...

Anyway, Hank's a magician, there's no caging him, and hopefully he doesn't gnaw off his leg tomorrow while we're at work...
