Meet Hank!



Yes, I may need my head checked. I have always wanted two dogs. I definitely wanted a companion for Ellie. Hank is literally her little brother. I was able to go with the same breeder and get the same parents. They look quite a lot alike and the mannerisms they share is quite uncanny. I won't say things have been easy over the past two days, but things are definitely much smoother the second time around. I've got my fingers crossed hoping he will be potty trained quicker than Ellie was.

I had three names in mind. Boone, Hank, and Hutch. I have no idea where I came up with Boone, I just like the name. Hank is after Henry (Hank) Aaron the true King of home runs. Hutch is after one of my favorite patients at work. No one outside of work seemed to like Hutch and my brother claims that everyone thought Boone was too red neck. So not wanting my dog to be harassed by Andy and all his buds for life I went with Hank.
