The Puppy Function

If Henry were a program and he had a Biting function, it would look something like this...(Disclaimer: This is not meant to follow any programming best practices or language.)

puppy=yes

Biting(puppy)
{
body_part_list=[fingers,fingers,forearm,toes,calf,fingers,hair,fingers,forearm,forearm]

while puppy
{
chosen_body_part= random(body_part_list)
call biteBiteBite(chosen_body_part)
}

biteBiteBite(body_part)
{
open mouth over body_part
close down mouth with body_part in it
}

}

Yup maybe in a few months I'll add in a way to get out of that loop but right now it feels infinite. :D

Thank you Casey for your contribution by providing the probability of Henry choosing a certain body part.

One Month With Henry

We've had Henry for one month now and he has changed quite a bit! The first row of pictures are from our first weekend with him and the second row is from just last week!

Puppy Antics

Henry has taken on some attributes that remind me a lot of Sadie :) in that I think he would love to live in the dishwasher if he could. (Granted I only know about two dogs) Casey was loading the dishwasher and by the time he turned around Henry had climbed in! Here is a picture of a similar day when I was loading the washer. Notice how one paw is even on the rack...

Also, some of his favorite activities that don't threaten the safety of our hands (we're still working on this) is chasing plastic toys on the ground. We found a frisbee that has proven to be entertaining for both us and Henry - A win/win situation yay!!!

Babies, Puppies, Road Trips Oh My!

I had a mini vacation this weekend while Casey and Henry had a guys weekend. My friend Kari and I drove down to Des Moines. I wish I had taken pictures...but sadly I forgot. Friday night I spent with my good friend from college, Jessica and her husband Derek. Saturday I spent with my friend Betsy and her fiance Blake. It was fun weekend filled with wedding planning and LOTS of much needed catching up!!!! I'm so glad I was able to make the short trip.

Sunday we had my brother and Angie over for a pre-Super Bowl lunch of sloppy joes, chips & dip, spinach puffs, bbq meatballs AND grapes/apples (we thought it would be good to throw something healthy in the mix). Henry was spoiled with a nice bone and fun lion chew toy from Uncle Matt and Aunt Angie :) He loves them both! Here are few pics from the afternoon. Leah is moving around so much these days! Soon enough I'm sure it will be hard for us to keep up.







Matt and Henry also had a good romp and soon enough Henry went into his "den" (aka under the couch). Thanks Matt for wearing him out!


All in all it was a busy but fun weekend. Tonight (Monday) has been spent catching up but I was able to get a small video to show off some of Henry's skills.
He's only been with us for two weeks but has gained about 6 lbs! (He came to us at 9 lbs) We both agree that having a puppy is a lot more work than we expected but we can't deny that he has a big spot in our hearts already. Anyways...he's pretty calm in this video - which is pretty unheard of but enjoy the show!
