Hank vs. Santa

Here's Hank showing off one of his Christmas gift from his Grandma for Vinny & Damien.



He was actually quite good-natured about it. But not as good as his cousin, Lucky, who wore his Santa suit for most of the day!

Last Minute X-mas Idea

Haven't figured out what to get for the dog-loving party animal in your life? I found this at CrunchGear and it looks amazing:

Bark4Beer
It's a dog collar with a retractable bottle opener! This would have been perfect in college. Our dogs, Magic and Amber, would have been even more popular at parties.

Once you have the Bark4Beer all you need to do is teach your dog to fetch the beer first. If you need help with that, give me a call (for teetotalers, this works for soda too).

Hank vs. Snow

This is one edition of "Hank vs." that Hank clearly wins!


NYC was hit with the first snow storm of the season and the first thing Hank wanted to do was pee... for 31 seconds! Now, before you go thinking "wow, he must have really had to go" I have to tell you that he does this ALL THE TIME! Usually his first pee of the day is obscenely long, but sometimes it's his 3rd, 4th or 5th that is the length of a commercial break. We'd been out until about midnight the night before & this was at about 9am. What can I say, boy's got a big bladder.
