Easter Greetings

I'm getting caught up on e-mail from being in VEGAS last week. Hank seems to have forgiven us. I had this e-mail from Jeremiah's aunt in my inbox and it made me laugh. AND think of my dad's dog Rudy.

How Much for that Doggy in the Window?

Well, I'm still in Vegas. BUT, Jeremiah went home this morning and picked up Hank at the Pets Hotel. He had a good time, and the other day, someone was watching day camp, and Hank in action. They came inside to the pets hotel and asked what kind of dog he was (uhhh, seriously?) and if he was available breeding. Sorry, we left his nuts at the Humane Society...

BUT, still, a pretty cool compliment!

Watch it!

Jeremiah is going to barbecue tonight but it's 8:20 and he's just turning on the grill. He asked Hank to come outside, so Hank was anxiously standing at the sliding glass door ready to go. Jeremiah opened the door, and BOOM! He bounced off the screen. We both laughed pretty hard, then Jeremiah quickly opened the screen, and it took Hank a minute to decide if it was OK to go out. Somehow we're nerdy parents and that story was too funny not to share...

Today I am a Man

Or something like that.

Today was a big day here at the Case house. Hank graduated from his Basic Manner class. He did a great job, although he didn't really have a trick, we're still working on Shake. He'll get there, but man does he love his treats! We got free dog training at the Humane Society when we got Hank back in October. The woman who ran the class is friends with the dog trainer who did a couple of private lessons with Hank around the holidays. Hank really liked Gayle, she has lots of energy and did a great job. If only we practiced more with Hank throughout the week, I knew he could do better outside the classroom. But, we'll keep on keeping on.

Now, we're spoiling him this evening because we're about to abandon him at the Pets Hotel for 4 nights while we're in Vegas for the week with my dad and brothers. Yay for vacation!

He usually barks a lot at the Pets Hotel, he does NOT like to be in a kennel, but he loves being there and loves day camp. I hope it goes well, mostly for the employees sake, he's not a quiet dog when he doesn't want to be...

Happy Spring!

It's the first day of Spring, and Hank is more excited than most...
