But what about ME?!?!

Hanna loves to pull herself around the yard on her tummy. I wonder sometimes just how far she could go doing this if there wasn't a fence? Shouldn't there be a prize for this kind of thing?

Hardwired to RUN!

Above anything else, in the entire world, Hanna lives to RUN!

She's not for the faint of hearts, or if you get worried if your pup leaves your side- because once let loose, this girl is easily-within seconds- more than 1/2 a mile out... and just keeps going...

deflated basketballs = best toy ever

snow daze.

I've been super busy the last few weeks and haven't sent out an update on Hanna in a while, so here's a quick one.

Well, I have to say that Hanna is the nuttiest dog I've ever fostered. Hands down. Ever. She's a total sweetheart through and through and when I'm not shaking my head at something she's done or gotten herself into, I'm laughing my ass off at something else she's cooked up. She has finally started to calm down in the house, and is actually sleeping in the evenings instead of bouncing off of the walls or skidding around on the wood floors. And yes, she gets more exercise daily than the average dog! She hasn't climbed my privacy fence in a while and I'm "trusting" her enough in my yard now that she doesn't have to drag the checkcord around : ) Her favorite toy is a half deflated basketball that the previous owners left behind and she's hilarious to watch as she hauls it around and hides it along with all the other yard toys.

She's insane on birds, and has the speed and desire in the field that's almost refreashing to see. She's not afraid to barge into any kind of cover, or even climb a tree after something that interests her. She still is completely deaf in the field, and totally ignores the whistle and sometimes her collar, but we're working on this! She's also getting better with regular household noises, but we're still taking everything fieldwise sloooooow and I'm just letting her have fun. Everyday is a good day for this girl, and she's getting better about going places and meeting new people. When she's not going 100 mph, she's actually a real lover.

I'm attaching a few pics I took of her today when we were out roaming some fields and ditches. She has a line on because one of our field collars has been acting up, and believe me, it's not nearly as much fun to run her when you're attached to the other end! In the first pic she was watching some field sparrows take off and she seemed to think it TOTALLY and UTTERLY unfair that she couldn't chase....

Friday Night.

Hanna had a full day of running the kennel yard while I worked- she had mud EVERYWHERE!

I think her bath wore her out : )

:sleepy afternoon:

before the point...

Hanna was going about 90 mph when she 360'd into this point!

Look! No feet!

CHRISTMAS!

Yup, this snow tastes good too!

Here bunny bunny bunny...

Hanna has a recall!

She's learning that when I say "Hanna, Come!" She gets a yummy cookie...

Where's Hanna?!

Hanna loves to roll around in the grass, but I've never seen a dog head dive into a pile of leaves and roll around! She seriously disappeared into the leaves and the Weims were wondering what was going on- she would then burst out of the pile and take off like a crazy puppy!

and this is why I call her jumping Bean : )

Bean's first mini romp after her spay...
