Hoss Update

Some of you have asked how Hoss is doing. I am pleased to report that he is doing well. Not that he has not been doing well. He does have a rather enviable existence.

It is Spring and with Spring comes downpours - downpours of white hair. His shedding is not so noticeable in the winter. He continues to break things - just by virtue of his running into stuff. His snoring has gotten worse - age and weight gain??? Please let me know if you have information about a manufacturer that makes nose strips for dogs to help decrease snoring. Breath Right is the name, I think. His breath is not bad, but when he drinks he carries about a quart away in his mouth and deposits it in a long line of dribbles. Those puddles have caused several falls because they are on hardwood floors and create a glaze just like ice.

He eats grass, swallows burritos whole, barks at cats, and hates rabbits and baths. His appetite knows no end and he believes napping is mandatory. He loves to be outside, has no leash discipline, and loves to eat flies. Other than that, he really is a good dog. Believe it or not, he possesses a unique dignity though it is not always readily apparent. I think we shall keep him.
