What are you talking about?


Yup, he's pretty much the CUTEST ever. Last week was pretty busy at work for me, and then on Saturday we went sailing with Mike & Grace. Hank got a special weekend Day Camp experience, which was great for us. We picked up Hank about 8:30 on Saturday night, and the Pets Hotel gal said she had just given Hank a Kong, I asked if it was to shut him up, since he's always so LOUD and hates being in the kennel. Her response was "yeah, pretty much." Hey, more power to her, that boy is LOUD, I always know he's there when I go to pick him up though! So, we brought him home Saturday night and he was very happy to see us, no surprise.
On Sunday we slept in and then took Hank to Robinswood since we had a few errands to run on Sunday afternoon. So, we go to the park, and he ran around for about 20 minutes, then was panting and slowing walking towards the ball. So, that was a nice short jaunt. Jeremiah hung out with him for about an hour while I went to InSpa, and then we left on our errands. We were gone for about 3 hours. When we came back, we figured Hank was just sleeping away the afternoon. We took him out, came back in and were out on the patio, since it was SO nice on Sunday. James, our neighbor, came out and said that Hank was barking for about the last hour. ACK! Not again! James and Jennifer are really nice about Hank, since their dog Ronin is infatuated with Hank, they are always very polite and kind to him. But, I always feel bad that Hank barks. This is only the 2nd time they've mentioned it. James mentioned maybe it's the garage door. But, he works from home so must go out throughout the day, and no barking. Jeremiah and I talked about it, and we think maybe it's when we're gone at odd times and gone together. It's not very often that we leave him together, or outside of the day time when we're at work. Ack, how frustrating! So, my dog trainer Diane mentioned that leaving the radio on, classical or talk radio is a good cover and might help. I guess it's time to start letting him listen to Rush while we're at work...
