Well, hello everyone!Hank's been a little quiet in this chilly new year, catching up on sleep and trying not to look too much like a Seattleite in winter (see above). You know, just kicking around, chewing on rocks and the occasional barnacle. (So salty!)For those of you who don't live on the rainforest coast of Cascadia, living here is rather like viewing the world underwater: it's all grey until you turn on a light.…See More

Cheesy Poof Night

Hank & Cap have been very busy fellows lately, attending lovely events in sparkly, sparkly places, eating delicious food and catching up with friends and family. Such delight! It's Hank's favorite season to sneak into posh ladies lounges, collect fancy pens, and amass hilarious valet parking fees.Yesterday, Hank & Cap decided to slip into more comfortable collars and take it down a notch, keep it real. Where did they head? Why, to Santa Chuck's of course!Ho, ho, hiccup!  Not only did…See More

Paws Between Storms

______________________________________We could learn to stop when the sun goes down and when the sun comes up. We could learn to listen to the wind; we could learn to notice that it’s raining or snowing or hailing or calm. We could reconnect with the weather that is ourselves, and we could realize that it’s sad. The sadder it is, and the vaster it is, the more our heart opens. We can stop thinking that good practice is when it’s smooth and calm, and bad practice is when it’s rough and dark. If…See More

Boo! Hank Goes NaNoWriMo

Well, it's here! It's officially November and the start of NaNoWriMo, which means the start of Hank's mission to pen, once again, a 50,000-odd word novelin thirty days. Emphasis on odd, for sure. Hank intends to dig in to his masterwork, RUBBISH! A Dog's Guide to the Good Stuff  without stimulants (thank you very much Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Coffee) but with old-fashioned can-do and giddy-up instead.…See More

Your word for today is: PLUVIOUS (exclamation)

LOCAL LABRADOR WALKS ON WATER ______________________________________*pluvious, adj. Of, relating to, or characterized by rain; full of or bearing rain or moisture; rainy. Blech. The fall rains have returned.  Which bites, to be honest. Autumn seems determined to arrive with a true splash across the Northwest though the trees have only just started their golden transformations. Our flora rarely gets the chance to splendor under clear skies (see: New England, also near large ocean) before the…See More

Captain's Courageous

October has brought its round, orange rump into Seattle and with it continuing sunshine and warmth...such a treat! While Hank would prefer that our summers start in, say— June? He's not complaining.Speaking of roundly russet rumps, what is Hank doing?He's so glad you asked: Plenty. You see, October is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month! To mark (heh) the event, Hank visited a shelter. Yep. And then he adopted a dog.Yes. Hank would…See More

Hank's Been a Busy Bee!

Ouch. It's more than a just a little offsides to go on and on about flying great white sharks and predatory Chihuahuas then disappear. Sorry about that.  There has been no Carcharodon carcharias/ Canis lupus familiaris horribilus bloodletting lately, but most of you know how things are at the House: When the sunshine comes out, all bets are off.Big, big THANK YOUs for all the birthday love you sent Hank's way over the last few weeks!  He hopes you know that he has been writing love notes to you…See More

Profile Information

Welcome, friends! Old, new, near & far

Hank’s busy sniffing out fascinating stories, engaging critters, and intriguing ideas in his travels around the Big Block and loves sharing these tasty tidbits with YOU.

Why a blog, Hank? Hank’s too feral for Facebook, gets twitchy when LinkedIn, and has the good sense to be embarrassed when he Tweets, but heck, he loves you and wants to stay in touch.

You tune in when and where you want. Just give a whistle. No managing this or that status or feeling obligated to do anything. Hank fertilizes his own crops dang it, and would love to fertilize some of yours. In a manner of speaking.

Now, don’t let Hank’s good looks and lack of opposable thumbs fool you: He has a nose for a good story, he’s quick, and he keeps his writing and photography short, sweet and mischievous. Just like him, except for that short part.

Hank hopes you’ll find his twice-weekly missives impart a wee something-something to make your days a little brighter, your weeks a little lighter.

…So grab a biscuit and make yourself comfortable. It’s good to see you.

Oh, are Hank's dogs barking.

Hank's had a heck of a holiday season. The past few weeks have flown by, complete with the feather-rustling and squawks you'd expect from this joint. Hank's played host to The Troubles, Loosie the galloping baby Bloodhound, one rare Spotted Mexican Meerkat, and Phoebe Super Dog, among others.
