One Day at a Time

The weekend went pretty well with Hank finally (except for the ripped open tub of treats incident). He slept through the night last night, HOORAY! He went out at 8:30 with Jeremiah and then slept till this morning, and didn't race down to the door like he has been doing. AND, I was gone all day at work, and he didn't have an accident, HOORAY!

He did however have his chair all messed up and the magazine basket knocked over, BUT, not stinky urine smell! I got home tonight about 5 and he was JUMPING up and down, it was ridiculous, he wanted OUT and had to GO! Hank had a lot of energy tonight, I think he's getting better. He ran all over the house after we went out initially. And he drug me down the hill on his walk. But as soon as we got to the secret off leash area, he ran and ran, which was GREAT. I sure wish we had a dog park in the neighborhood for days like this. Walking just wasn't going to cut it today, he needed to RUN!

Yesterday after church we took Hank to a NEW dog park. He loves going to Marymoor, but with his ankle we just haven't been able to take him, especially with the water, he'll do ANYTHING to get in the water. So, we found Robinswood Park in Bellevue. They have a nice off leash area that is fenced in and is really just a big corral, which is GREAT for running around. There's enough dogs that they chase each other and we didn't even need the tennis balls much. This is a great cold-day alternative and not quite healthy enough for the river park. Plus, it's closer and there's no parking fee. Hooray!

Hank is currently laying on the floor with Jeremiah watching Ask This Old House. A family favorite.
