There is a silly pointer boy named Hank that lives with us. He has several alias'. He is called Hanky, Mr. Hanky, Poo, Mr. Hanky McLovin. He came into rescue as a stray, barely able to walk. We said yes to fostering him. That was about 3 years ago.
He has the thinnest coat I've ever seen on a pointer and a pink hairless belly. Hank has the gnarliest nipples and lumps-n-bumps from mast cell tumors. Some people might question why we'd keep a guy like him. I would challenge them why not? There is an idiot out there who has missed three awesome years with a peach of a pointer.
Of late, his tumor began showing rapid growth, so we know our time with him is limited to month's, if we are lucky. We're taking this opportunity to shower extra loving on a guy who exudes love personified. Yesterday we split a burger and fries at Freddie's SteakBurgers. He wants you to know that if Mom ever offers to share a Freddie Burger one should always, always, always say yes!
Life is short and we plan to savor all the Hanky moments we have left. Cause dogs don't get any better than Hank, and we are blessed to share his journey.

I'm so sad to hear that Hank's tumor is growing. It really shows in the picture. Remembering Hank as I do (I am one of the volunteers with the rescue he came from), I'm sure he will live life to the fullest right up to the end. Hopefully that's much further away than you expect.
Thanks so much for taking him in. I really enjoy reading all your blogs, but especially those about Hank. What a good boy.
Thanks so much for your part in his story!!
I was so sorry to hear that Hank's tumor is growing. We always enjoy your blog and facebook posts about Mr. Hanky. He sure is loving life with your family!
