....and then there's Hank


We had our final home visit 2 weeks ago, and other than Parker falling after Ethan commented on how well he is walking, things went very well. Parker was teething again so his balance was a bit off. We now are waiting for some final paperwork to be finished up and a court date. I can't believe it's been 6 months since we picked Parker up at the airport.




Parker had his 15 month check up last week and he is doing great. He wasn't too happy with the doctor, or the nurse for that matter, and I think everyone on the 3rd floor heard that. I think it was the most difficult visit for him yet...he just wasn't happy at all. He now weighs 22lbs and is 30-3/4 inches tall. He is working on teeth again and has a total of 13.


And now to the matter of Hank. I'm not too sure what we got ourselves into, but we adopted a dog a week ago! We weren't really looking at getting another dog right now, but in passing time and looking at Petfinder I found Hank f/k/a Alex. Hank is a black lab that was found as a stray. We aren't too sure how old he is, but we're thinking somewhere around 9-12 months... so he's still a puppy! Hank has been a little bit naughty but with time he is going to be a very good dog.


I guess when it's February in Michigan and you don't have much else to do, get a dog! It sure has made life interesting.
