We’re back to having Hank’d birthday parties and I can’t beleive my baby is 10 YEARS OLD!!  His Actual B-day date is Nov 11th.

This dog’s NAME was NO!HANK! DOWN!HANK! STOP HANK! for his first 3 years!! Mind Boggling.  He was a small, fat sausage in my hand at 6 weeks. This is the same dog who looked sadly just like Wyle E Coyote his first winter and his first snow drift when he tried to leap over it and splatted INTO IT like a cartoon dog.

Jessie laffed at him most of his life (geez I miss Jessie), so did i and most people who met him. When we started the camp he was 5 yrs old and suddenly had a job I had no idea he was qualified for – he kept the dogs in line and stopped fights, got dogs playing, took a pack leader roll – my baby had grown up!

He still does stoopid lab things, even at 10 and will give me his ’round eared look’ when caught and it just says w’haaaat???”

My Hankie.

Hopefully you can all join us on Nov 8 for leash free time and cake from 11am to 2pm. Instead of gifts (g_d knows this dog has everything he needs) please make donations to our vets to help with the costs of our rescues (3 had pneumonia this past summer and one ate her stitches and needed to be stapled not to mention dewroming, defleaing, parasites….If you’d like to make a donation to either vet, there is Guildwood 416-265-5000 and Orono 905-983-9010 who will happily accept a visa or M/C pmt of any amount and of course you can donate thru us (visa & M/C) or here at the party.
