Here's the quick & Dirty:
Thursday, March 5th:
I show up at day camp, like every other day to pick up Hank. The manager on duty (the one manager that I don't know that well) tells me that Hank is no longer welcome at day camp until he is better kennel trained. He evidently pushed over a manager while she attempted to put him in his kennel. He weighs 90 lbs. she weighs 105 (maybe), and it's a DOGGIE DAY CAMP, he's the one in trouble?
So, I go home, I'm just in shock over how to deal with this. What the hell happened? Sure, he hasn't been happy at day camp for a while, and this is probably what had to happen for Jeremiah & I to have a wake up call, but ACK! THIS IS what got kicked out of day camp...
Mom comes to visit on Friday so she can keep an eye on Hank, and then we spend the weekend at home. BUT, on Monday I have an evening event, so we need a quick solution! Lucky for some random marketing piece left on my porch a couple months ago...
I had heard about the Talus Dog Walker, a woman who lives in the neighborhood who walks the neighborhood dogs. I send over a note on Friday at lunch, she calls about 20 minutes later, and comes over at 3 to meet Hank. Susan is FANTASTIC! She loves yellow labs and Hank is immediately laying at her feet snuggling and wanting to play.
WOW, that couldn't have gone any better.
The past two weeks with Hank have been FABULOUS! Susan leaves a daily report card for Hank, they're working on his walking and he's getting so much better at it. Sure, we should have had that down within a month of getting him, but the wonder walker is working GREAT and Hank is healing better than ever.
But the notes from Susan are so fun, and great to hear! Last week she said she saw "moments of brilliance" with Hank. Who talks about a dog like that? This is the woman for us...
