Hank, you are one handsome guy! I love a boy who is always smiling! Have a great Thanksgiving!
OH these pics are great, they really show his pawsonality! He's so happy! Do you ever call him Hankster the Prankster? I seem some mischief in those smiling eyes! What's your other pup's name? I forget, I think you told me in the chat.
He's got a very lean physique, you're doing a great job keeping him healthy. When he's on three legs this will make his recovery and life as a Tripawd so much easier. Good job Ma!

Jerry,
My other dogs are Taco (collie cross), Clifford (Anatolian Shep cross) and Lucy (Chinese crested)
The other pyrenees in the pictures is Baba (Hank's brother) which is now with my ex and there's another pyrenees head in a picture, that one was Buddy. He passed at 14 yo. See picture of 3 pyrenees below. From left to right: Buddy, Hank and Baba. Buddy was a pyrenees crossed with collie.
Here's some more.

Oh what a good looking bunch! Someone loves big dogs!
I imagine that's a LOT of fur around the home. But we're so worth it, aren't we?

Jerry, it sure is a lot a fur. I have to vacuum daily and wash the floor once or twice a week at least. But I don't really mind it. They are worth it.

I loved looking at Hank's album-- he is so beautiful-- as are the others in his pack. My favorite photo is the last one where he is staring through the fence-- love it!
Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011
Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…
Thanks to everyone who looked at Hank's pictures. He's very special to me.

He's gorgeous! He looks very hug-able.

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
