you don't always get want you want....dog
 

Wife and I made a list;
Female
Small
Older
Minimal shedding.

Let me introduce "Hank"

Male
Big
Young
Major shedder.

Wife did the Jedi mind trick on me. Hank was headed to the pound, or a life as a guard dog for a pot farm.

Oh well.

Trying to change his name to Avatar, but he won't respond.

handsome boy.

Congrats and thanks for the rescue...he looks like the Paul Newman of dogs.....very cool.

Must be the eyes....

BTW...my girlfriend just lost her Dad. His name? Yup....Hank.

Keep us posted, Cliff.....in dog thread, if possible.... :)

He'll respond eventually, keep trying.

Love to hear rescue stories.

Nice dog! Good job saving him... just my thing when I get a pet I randomly call out names (usually something I see while I'm reading) until they respond.

However I have noticed the ladies in our lives prefer to pick their name for them.

I fortunately I was able to intervene on Marshal:

Hank reminds me of my daughter's dog, Snoop (RIP). Lots of character in that face ..

looks more like a hank anyway.

He sure does look like a Hank. One syllable's better anyhow. Spend lots of time with him and enjoy your expanded family.

Wow beautiful. Congrats.

I prefer girl dogs than boy dogs, but congrats. They're all wonderful.

Fantastic looking hound!

Only Hank I know is a jumper, cleared 25'7" at Squaw Valley a few months ago.

Pretty eyes

That's a beautiful "lap dawg" you have there Cliff...well done :)!

This is the dog you are looking for....

Very nice looking boy!

Good for you and giving one a home.

I've been fortunate with 3 rescue dogs, all excellent.

**Opens thread, starts reading.... please be a rescue!! Please be a rescue!! Please be a rescue!!.. its a rescue!! Relieved**



Great job, great looking dog, as far as the name goes, I vote to keep it Hank, I like Hank.

Hank is a good name.

I wouldn't either if my name was Hank :)

Great looking dog. You don't want to walk some poodle lap dog anyway. And it wouldn't keep up on runs or on the MTB!

He looks like he may be good to take pig hunting! How is his nose? Any game drive? :)

Not sure if you are kidding about changing his name, but just starting to call him both names for a week, then switch to the new one will get the job done. I have met several people with a dog they took over from someone else, hating the name but keeping it because they thought it can't be changed on an older dog.

That said, I do like "Hank" ... old guy names are cool for dogs.

Change his name to Avatar, and that dawg won't hunt....I'm just sayin...

Go get 'em HANK!
Go get 'em Avatar.

See what I mean :)

Teddy says hi to another rescue! And you need to teach hank yo help in the garage like teddy!

Stick with him. These things take time...

I had real problems with my cat. Lots of biting, scratching, sleeps all day and goes out all night. But he's gradually coming around.
