Master of the Universe

Hank's had a pretty good week this week. He finished his pain medication on Monday, so he's sleeping a little longer through the night, and he's holding his pee a little longer. He's still had about an accident a day while we're gone, but part of that has just been that we can't be around all the time.

Today however...Jeremiah & I had some plans to go to Bellevue, do some shopping, get some errands done, and be gone for about 3-4 hours. We took Hank out before we left and all seemed okay. It is a BEAUTIFUL day today, mid-70's it would have been a PERFECT day for Marymoor. Man, I can't wait to go again!

Last night, I was cleaning up Hank's dog treat jar on the kitchen counter, and put some treats from his "stash" in the garage in there. I was too lazy to take the Tupperware sealed tub back downstairs, so it sat by the door last night. Hank had noticed what it was, but did OK with it, and I noticed it before we left, but didn't grab it on my way out the door.

4 hours later...Jeremiah came home and I ran to Safeway. I come in the door, and Jeremiah says "before you come up, nothing is broken, it'll be OK" So, I'm thinking that Hank had a big accident or knocked the pillows off the couch or something.

OH NO. He drug the treat tub from over by the front door to the couch area, GOT IT OPEN, ripped open the chicken strip bag, ripped open the dog biscuit bag, ON THE CARPET and proceeded to eat about half the bag of dog biscuits. The good news however is that they were breath fresh biscuits! So, there was a nice big mess to pick up and vacuum up crumbs. BUT, at least we know Hank kept himself entertained. OH, and he took a pee on the carpet upstairs by our bedroom (but not in our room thank goodness!)

Tonight we had my friend Heather over who just moved back from North Carolina. She's allergic to dogs, but did OK with Hank till I closed the window tonight and she was forced to inhale dog scent at her feet. Like most people who meet Hank for the first time, they can't believe how HUGE he is. AND what a sweet guy he is. If only she'd been here at 4 today...
