Hank

Hank has become so much a part of our family.  He is a really cool dog, but he is also extremely weird.  Any time that we attempt to leave the house, he gets all excited, and wants to come along.  But then, once he gets into a vehicle, he is really nervous and uptight.  I think he is slowly coming to learn that most drives, except for visits to the vet, lead to something good.  He is certainly a big part of our family, and everyone loves to have him around.  Some times it ends up being a bit of a competition between the girls as to who gets to spend time with him.

Some of the snapshots included here were taken back home in the city.  These were all in recent days, since Halloween.  Margarit and I headed out to Nordegg on November 4th, and brought Hank along with us.  A couple of days later, Helena and Hailey came out for some sister time in the guest cottage.  They poach Henry from time to time, but have mostly left him with Margarit and I.

On Saturday November 7th Margarit and I went out for a drive to the west, and took Hank along.  We ended up out at the Banff Park boundary and went out for a number of short walks at Preachers Point, Owen Creek, the Spreading Creek Burn, and Wildhorse Creek.  By the time we got back to the cottage and made a big dinner for ourselves, Hank was exhausted and just crashed for the night.
