My 5th Year with Hopper

These are some of the things that I learned about my dog Hopper during our 5th year together on earth.

When I give my dogs  their chew bones, they immediately head to the hallway to work on them. I noticed one evening that Hopper was not working on his bone, just laying there looking at it. Then I realized that because Pepper was in the living room working on his bone, that that might be the reason Hopper was waiting, that things weren't 'normal' for Hopper! So I asked Pepper to come be in the hallway in his usual place to work on his bone with Hopper. So just as soon as  Pepper went in the hallway and laid down in his normal spot, Hopper started working on his chew bone.

I gave Hopper a piece of cookie (Keebler Cashew Sandie) and its the kind of cookie that will leave little crumbs in your mouth, so he was trying to get the fragments by chewing and moving his tongue around AND it was becoming annoying AND I could NOT get him to try to take a drink of water to help get them out of his mouth! Oh, my, this went on for about 15-20 minutes!

I will add more notes later!
