Red's Uncle Hank

 

Yesterday Red got to go on a walk with her uncle Hank. Hank is an English lab just like our dearly departed Tank. And back in the day when we met Hank on walks through the park he was just like a mini Tank.  So when I decided I wanted another English lab I asked Hank's owner where they got him.  And so we went to the same breeder and got Red.  

On yesterday's hike Red is now the mini Hank and Hank is Tank's doppelgänger.  It's actually kind of eery how much Hank resembles old Tank - and not just the very similar names! I don't think Hank felt any familial tenderness towards Red, but it was fun to see them run around.  Occasionally Hank would turn around and tell Red with a bark not to follow him.

Of course during all of this Bodi felt a little left out.  No one was interested in good old super mutt Bodi, and we were trying to shoo him out of the pictures. Then near the end of the walk I saw Red running closely behind Bodi and doing their pack dog thing.  Bodi is Red's best friend in the whole world.
