Hank's Memorial Day Weekend Adventures

Hank is having QUITE the weekend with us home. Jeremiah was home sick on Friday, so it's been four days of non stop family time, and he's LOVING it. ON Saturday morning I took Hank over to Robinswood park to let him run around. He had a good time, and even got out run by a little English bulldog. There was a bulldog meet up group at Robinswood, so it was Hank and a lot of short dogs, which was fun.
Saturday afternoon our dog trainer Diane came over to visit us and Ronin the next door neighbor dog. When Ronin first moved to the neighborhood he was having some trouble adjusting to life in Issaquah. Ronin's from Texas and is used to a big yard. And, like us, he continues to be mesmerized by Hank. So, Diane did some dog training with him, and had done some with Hank as well. She did a meet and greet on Saturday, where we just tried to get them to both be on the patio without barking and trying to attack each other Anyway, it was a GREAT training, and now we have to practice every day for 5-10 minutes with both dogs on the patio. It's a great excuse for us to get to know the neighbors better, they're a really nice couple (also from Texas) who just moved up a couple months ago.
On Sunday, we had a pretty lazy day. I wanted to go to the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale (still, nothing good, it's so weird...) so left the boys to bond over the Indy 500 & NASCAR. With Hank's Kasey Kahne collar on, he was able to help push Kasey towards first and he won the race. Jeremiah's still excited about it. But, right before I Then left, Hank got all excited, and Jeremiah was folding laundry. Hank had been following me around the house, so Jeremiah had clothes on the floor in the living room. Hank decided to go over by Jeremiah, and setup camp on the floor right on Jeremiah's pile of shirts...adorable.

After I returned from shopping, I had flowers to plant! So, Hank helped a bit, but mostly just waited till I was done to enjoy the flowers along with me while we sat on the patio. Too cute...
