The Adventures of Hank

My Adventure With Mommy

This evening Mommy decided to take me for a car ride. Mommy had to meet someone to talk about doing a canine behavior and training radio show, and she wanted me to meet her friends.She said I am being neglected since Matty's surgery. CJ gets to work with Mommy doing all of the client dogs, and Matty is being doted on since his surgery and I am kind of lost in the shuffle. It's OK I understand and all, but Mommy says I am her best buddy and she wanted to do something nice for me since I love going places with her. I don't do the client dogs because I get defensive. My heart condition leaves me a bit insecure so I act out sometimes, but I do get to go do errands because I am good with people-especially the ladies. I love women.

Anyway Mommy doesn't see great at night and she rolled over something very bumpy and got a flat tire. She had to call a tow truck and the stupid guy wouldn't let Mommy ride in the car with me, and he wouldn't let me come in his truck so I had to ride in Mommy's car by myself.

When she got in the guy's truck I was so worried about her. I am her faithful companion-we are not supposed to be split up. Luckily it was a short ride but I wanted to be with Mommy.

Mommy thought I was mad at her, but I wasn't. The tow truck lowered me and her car on the ground at our house and she let me in my dog pen. Then Daddy came out and she opened the gate so I could go inside with Daddy, but I wouldn't. I waited for Mommy because I love her and I know she didn't make me ride alone-it was the tow truck guy. I don't understand why I couldn't go in his truck. I was nice to him. He was a jerk though I could tell he wasn't a big dog person.I can sense these things. Mommy said if he liked dogs I could have ridden in the truck or he would have let Mommy stay with me.
he told Mommy she couldn't ride in our car on the flat bed in because in case the car fell of with her in it he would get in trouble. I heard Mommy say but what if that happens to Hank? He is my best friend! But the guy wouldn't say yes.

I have to admit I felt like a big boy riding in the car by myself, but just wanted my Mommy to be honest. I watch over her with all of my heart and soul. I love Mommy!

When I got home Matty was so happy to see me he was talking up a storm! He kissed my muzzle and said he missed me and he was glad I was OK. I love that little guy! Even in his condition he was worried about me. CJ was too, she said she was so glad to see me!

I have a great pack-when we settled down I told everyone about my adventure with Mommy. It was all OK in the end, as long as I am with Mommy I know all is right with the world!

All About Matty

Not that I am complaining, but Matty had his bilateral hip surgery and Mommy and Daddy are so busy with him that CJ and I don't get to do much of anything because someone always has to be on top of Matty to keep him from trying to stand up.

I try to take care of him, sometimes he wants me to lay with him, and then other times he gets cranky and snaps at CJ and me. Sometimes he banishes me into the kitchen. That gets me mad but I understand. I never go back at him, nor does CJ.

I just feel bored, and kind of invisible. Mommy pays as much attention to me as she can but I know Matty needs her more right now.

At least Grandma came to help out yesterday and she is staying for a few days, so Mommy got CJ and me out for a nice walk and some frisbee playing. She said we deserve it because we have been so understanding and well behaved with everything.

We love Matty and we want to get the little guy back on his feet as soon as possible.

Hurray For Matty!

Matty is the featured diary of the day today on dogster! We haven't had that honor in our pack in a long time.

Tomorrow CJ is going into the vet to be spayed. I know she is nervous so I won't be too much of a pesty little brother to her today.
