Schafer he is


As we walked around the Humane Society I couldnt help but cry seeing all the dogs with no family to love them. I wish we could have taken them all. However thats impossible seeing as how theres like 500 animals there. Anyhow we knew we wanted a puppy to raise with our own style and flash. We came across a group of 3 or 4 puppies, staying close together at the back of their pen. The posting said shepherd mix. They were mostly black but one had a lighter coloring and was very mild mannered. We found a staff member and pointed out the one we wanted to "visit" with. She opened the gate, picked up a very precious puppy and handed it to us. I like all puppies, but she had picked up the wrong one. No, that one, I say. She rolls her eyes as if whats the difference. She pointed. "This one?" "No, that one." "This one?" I nod. We took him to a small room where he left a small yellow puddle on the floor. We took him home the next day.
After having him a few days, we soon realized that he wasnt mild at all. In fact he was absolutely crazy. The reason he seemed so mild at the pound was b/c he had just had his balls chopped off.
We didnt know yet what his name would be so we called him Agent 41. 41 were the first 2 numbers on his paperwork. We brought him home and let Jeanie name him Muchacho. After realizing this was not a name that could easily roll off the tongue, we decided to change it. We went through several names in 2 weeks, including Batman & Bishop. We finally decided on Hank. Hank it was. Hank, sit. No, Hank. Hank Hank Hank. Say Hank too many times and it becomes really, really, really strange.
While doing some internet research on our new pup I learned that Schaferhund is German for shepherd dog. Schafer it was. Schafer he is. He is Schafer.
