Oh my GOODNESS!!!!! I have been waiting for this. What a total treasure. Just adorable. And full of mischief. You can see he is just trying to make up his mind what naughtiness to get up to next. He's utterly gorgeous. Ditto Sally. Video, more pics, more, more, more...

Paula, Riley is really good with him. Although if puppy gets too much in his face he lets him know he doesn't like that. Hank is learning his place with Riley which is good because he needs to. Riley likes to carry around a big stick and play keep a way from Hank. It's funny to watch. The first two days I had him it was warm like 30 degrees so we played outside a lot. But the last two days it's been 0 or below zero so just short potty breaks lately. Which makes it hard to burn off puppy energy. But warmer next week so that'll be good so we can get more outside time. Thanks guys he is a sweetie and Bob is thrilled with him. We'll see if Rene can figure out the video I sent her of Riley and Hank playing and post it for you guys to see.

It's SO sweet to see the two of them together. Just adorable, such a vision of curious, playful new life and Uncle a Riley, calm and protective and perhaps just ever so slightly indulgent. Just love this

PUppies!!!! I love it!!! He's so cute!!! I do miss the puppy phase .. even though Shelby & Jasper were not puppies when I got them, they were both young (actually, Shelby was more of a puppy at 6 months). I don't know if I can handle potty training but I do know I love puppy breath and puppy cuddles!!! Congrats~! What a joy!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Today I received the most adorable photo of Hank. I had to share it with you. Here's what Linda said in her email to me:
Here's a picture of Hank focused on Bob waiting for him to throw his ball. Just wanted to share cause we are so proud of our boy. Linda & Bob with Spirit Mighty Max
He's sure growing up fast isn't he?
