Hank

Just want to do a Hank update!  Tom is SO SMITTEN with this dog!!!!!  You know, Hank is the SMARTEST dog Tom has even seen!!!!  LOL 
He does seem to be house trained as of yesterday - there were no accidents at all!   He scratches at the door to go out, and they also watch carefully for the signs of sniffing around.....you know those signs.  Getting him on a schedule is also working well.
 
He's getting VERY comfortable in his forever home.  He's doing well with sleeping in his crate at night, but seems to prefer curling up wherever Tom is for naps.  We were over there late yesterday afternoon and Hank had just finished a big play streak!!  Tom said he raced around with his toys, so he slept while we were there.  He also LOVES Scrappy the Cat.  Scrap is very patient with Hank too, but if Hank gets too rough, Scrap lets him know.  I think they will end up good friends, if Scrap can  hang in there through the puppy period!!!!  LOL
 
Tom's keeping the name "Hank" as it suits him!!!!  He does already sit when you tell him......because when we went in yesterday, he greeted us and I said sit and HE DID!!!!!  I was surprised.  He did seem calm at the Adopt A Thon, but we knew he would have playful periods and HE DOES so he is a normal pup.  Tom loves to watch him grow more and more comfortable with his home.  He does NOT like to be within eyesight to do his business, so they got the longest retractable leash they could find and now he is able to get into the trees a bit farther from them and he is doing fine with that!!!!!
 
I just wanted to let you know, this seems to be a perfect match for Tom and for Hank!!!!!   Thanks for recommending them for the adoption!!!
