A Visit From Auntie Allison

Playing Dress Up with Auntie Allison

Comrade Hank
Fun at the UGA Green
Leaves are the greatest thing EVER!
Hank ate a lot of grass that day too. We don't know . . .
Our Sweet Girl tired from chasing balls, squirly, and other dogs.
Patrick and Half-Price Hank (his newest nickname) at the park
Here is the building where Patrick takes most of his classes.
We also went downtown and watched the preparations for the big night time bike race through the streets of Athens (see video below). Here is Hank tangled around a pole, rendered motionless, and, for some reason, chewing on a metal rope. It must have tasted yummy I guess.

By the end of Auntie Allison's visit, we had two very tired little puppies (see the video of Hank comatosed below too)!

Bath Time

They aren't quite as little, but bath time is still pretty darn cute!

The Easter Egg Hunt

Today was very fun! After playing around inside all morning (see Older Posts - Easter Morning), it warmed up a little, so we went outside on this beautiful spring day and had a Puppy Easter Egg Hunt!

We filled the eggs with treats and ground beef.
Here is Katie showing Hank the Easter Eggs.
Hank finds an egg and gets the yummy ground beef! Yum! Yum!

Hank caught onto the game very quickly.But sometimes it was still tough.

Looking . . .

Looking . . . Ah-ha!It took Dagny a little while to catch onto the game, but when she did, she caught up fast.

She found the egg hidden in their favorite lounge spot, under Patrick's car, . . . . . . and in their digging hole.
FINAL SCORE

Hank - 11 eggs

Dagny - 9 eggs

After the hunt, Hank and Dagny had to lick the eggs completely clean since apparently Patrick did not get all the goodies out. This took a while to accomplish.

Favorite pic of the day
So so YUMMY!
Hank The Puppy is such a goofball!!!

The Puppies’ First Easter

Easter Morning
An Easter gift from Grandma and Grandpa Ackerman

The bunny was really for the puppies, . . .

. . . and it was a big hit.
Like any other object, Dagny and Hank wanted to play fetch with the bunny.
There was some fierce competition over the bunny. Notice Dagny's snarl!

Naptime with Bunny

The bunny had a hard day!

They were too big for Dagny's head, so she had wings instead!

Dagny's Surgery

Dagny had her surgery this Tuesday. Hank was very upset at her being gone, crying all the way home and then moping around the house all day. He was very, very happy when she came home, but was not happy that he still couldn’t play with her. We are suppose to keep her quiet and still, but we are starting to relax that rule because it is kinda hard to keep two border collies “still.”
Dagny on Tuesday evening "recovering."

This week when Hank and Dagny get too excited they have to be separated. Here is Hank quarantined in the office.



Hank loved Pat Sejak!
