Jill Sims came calling this weekend to visit her mother, my gal Susan....and with her all the way from Lexington where she is a nurse and is caring for her boyfriend's dog...
He is quite impressive, Hank that is as I have not met Hank's owner yet, wow he is in four wheel drive all the time for sure...He bolted in the house last night, like he had lived there all his life as Jill arrived and immediately excused herself for a needed "powder room" call....As Hank bolted into the room the first thing out of Jeff Sims mouth was "hey its Hank the tank....and what a description, fits that muscle bound doggie to a tee....
Jeff is also visiting this week from his job in Austin Texas, same town as my grandson Clint recently moved to and there will exercise his new Purdue degree....Anyway I on my way out the door to join the crowd at Arni's for some pizza and salads but just had to make a quick post here to intro the new dog Hank...who belongs to Matt who is on a business, yeah right, trip to Finland right now with Jill taking care of his baby...
Semper Fi all the way here too as some of you may know these English Bulldogs are the official mascots of the United States Marines...One is taken care of and spoiled rotten and dressed up and part of all formal Marine Corps parades and such at each Marine base around the globe.....So its Hank the tank yeah it fits....
And by the way, he is quite a lovable dog once he gets settled down and used to things...yeah he's lovable and most handsome...but very friendly for sure...nice doggy....and he dearly loved getting into and drinking from the pond...Jill was worried sick he would jump in and drown, but he stayed in the shallow...I do wonder, hope he comes back when there are lots of grandkids swimming this summer, would like to see if all that muscle swims or sinks....
Oh, one more "by the way", and that is that Jeff served in the Marines in Iraq during the invasion of the country I think it was back in 05, He's still a Marine though like it or not....and beleive it or not in the very same outfit I served back in 57 and 58...The Amphibian Tractor Battalion stationed at Camp Del Mar on the coast...My stint ushered in the P5 landing craft..he tells me that during his time they phased them out for a lot better stuff....but hey 40 years maybe or more, I 'd say the Marines got their monies worth out of those landing craft...
