Meet Hank

My aunt got a new dog from the animal shelter during a "Name your Price" event (minimum price $25).  Unfortunately, after having the dog for about a month she decided that her two-year-old daughter "was not good with" the dog because he nips at things he doesn't like.

So meet Hank:  the newest member of the pack.

I speculate that Hank is a Miniture Pinscher/Italian Greyhound mix.  He is about 15.5 inches tall and  weighs 13 pounds.  The vet thinks he is about two years old. 

He nips at things that he thinks are scary or weird.  He spends most of his time up on his hind legs.  He barks and makes high pitched noises when he's excited.  He resource guards bones (only bones--nothing else).  He doesn't seem to know any basic obedience.  And he has the attention span of a gnat.

So, meet Hank.  He needs a lot of work.

Sometimes, Brego hates Winter

Here in Austin, Texas it rarely snows in the winter.  It gets cold rapidly (picture 80 degrees one day and 30 degrees the next) so it ices here.  Brego loves the cold weather--he spends more time outside, gets really energetic, and finally consents to cuddling on the couch.  However, when it gets cold it also becomes very, very dry.  These two things combine and create massive amounts of static electricity.

Static + Papillon =

 Fortunately, Brego has taken up meditation to deal with this problem.
