Silver Stories - Hannibal

Today is another of my Silver Stories, this one is about Hannibal or Hanni as his mama calls him. They figure Hanni is currently about 11 years old and he just celebrated three years with his family.

You think you want a young Boxer? You think that a senior isn't right for you? Maybe Hanni can change your mind.

I guess somethings in life change.......  I don't know what happened to my hooman but they did take care of me. Now I'm feeling a bit lost and boy I sure am hungry.  This new place is really noisy and it smells like bad news. A couple of the hoomans here seem nice but they look at me with pity and say PTS list with sad eyes.... I hear "rescue" and they pat my head when they say it so it's gotta be a good thing............hope so this place sucks.

RIDE RIDE RIDE!!  I love car rides!! I got to go for a car ride today!!! far far far.....cookies ....fresh air...hours of rides!!   Got to meet another new hooman...she has a car...I like cars...her car has blankets in it . I laid down and napped in this car but stuck my head thru from the back seat cause I didn't want to miss looking at this hooman for one minute.  Oh HI! 2 other dogs!!  They seem nice.  I like my new place. The hoomans give me 3 meals a day!!!  Say i need to fatten up....

Hanni's teeth look like Stonehenge

I got really sick for a few days with what they called kennel cough......hooman female stayed up all night with me cause if I laid my head down I would choke.  But it finally went away and I feel so much better. I hear the hoomans talk about how they brought me in for "hospice" care. That they wanted me to know I was loved when I passed.

I guess it turns out though that I'm not as old as they thought and that actually I'm really healthy. The female hooman calls me "fat" now...i dont know what "fat" is but you should try it 'cause its awesome!!

Fat is awesome!

 "Fat " must be car rides and fur brothers and couch naps and car rides and BALL...."fat" is amazing!!

Fat is BALL!

Fat is amazing!

I've been with my new pack now since Dec of 2011. We do lots of events for that rescue thing...I like hangin' out at bike night and pet stores. I really like talking to people...literally talking...most folks laugh but I got things to say!!  My hoomans say I'm something else which doesn't make any sense I'm just me. Hannibal , a dog like so many other dogs , I was down on my luck looking for a place to get "fat"  ........  Rescue is definitely a good word.

Happy Hanni.
