What A Happy Puppy!

First let me apologize for not posting in a few weeks. It's been kind of a zoo lately, but Hank is doing GREAT, he's keeping busy at day camp, and had a fun weekend with Rudy, and then Uncle Jeremy & Aunt Cassie. BUT, the highlight of September was this weekend...

Last weekend Jeremiah and I went to the Fremont Oktoberfest with our good friends Mike & Grace. They mentioned that they were heading down to their beach house this weekend and invited us to come along and bring Hank. So, Friday after work, we loaded up the car, and all of Hank's stuff, and headed down to Shelton, WA for the weekend. Mike & Grace have a great beach house on south Hood Canal that's so much fun to relax, read, drink, hangout in the hot tub and RELAX. We love it there, and haven't been in a year we realized! The cool thing for Hank about their house is they have a BIG back yard that goes up to the Canal. So, Hank did a ton of running around, barking, sniffing things out, and then sleeping. Having four people around to play with is more fun than two! Every time he was up, someone was taking him out to throw the ball around. He was so happy, and loved every minute of it. He's now recuperating, and will be VERY excited at day camp tomorrow when he gets a BATH. I think Hank has a new favorite place, he kept asking when he could go back...

Stand up Straight!

Hank is not a small dog by any description. We learned that especially with Lucy here visiting a few weeks ago. But, since he's so TALL, we notice that he struggles to bend over and eat his food sometimes. Jeremiah decided a while ago that he wanted to build Hank a food dish. So, with some extra vacation time at hand, he took Thursday and Friday off this past week and built Hank something closer to his size. Hank LOVES it, and isn't straining over as much to eat. Now we'll just have to build a travel one for treks to the grandparents...

What a Sad Puppy...

My dad and Rudy were here visiting this weekend. We had a great time, and Hank and Rudy are the BEST of friends. In fact, on Friday night/Saturday morning, I got next to no sleep, because Hank was up all night, he was DESPERATE to see Rudy and play with her. Ridiculous...

So, they had fun running around, barking at people and dogs, and Hank wouldn't let Rudy sniff out ANYTHING without checking it out himself, it was very cute. So, now Rudy has left and Hank's been laying around all day moping, he's just so sad that Rudy left...
