It’s a long established fact that I am *that* dog mom. It’s one of those quirks I have accepted. Like a crazy cat lady, who wears the proud badge of cat fuzz on all her articles of clothing, Huck‘s blonde hair is everywhere – my yoga pants, every blanket in the house, and my car. And for 8 years that has been the case…

From saying “we are not letting the dog on the couch!”, to welcoming him up there every time he asks with his sad seal eyes, and head resting on the couch. And letting him sit in the back seat of the car, when we got a Subaru for the sole reason that “we can put him in the back!”, but no, that’s too far away from his people…

And let’s not forget that he gets at least one bite or crumb of whatever it is we are eating… I’m annoyed with myself right now.

We are suckers for this 90 pound, allergic riddled, hip dysplasia afflicted mutt, who has made our lives truly something special. Happy 8th birthday to our favorite furry kid, Huck!

When Ben and I started dating, Huck was my constant road trip partner, back and forth across Washington, from Seattle to Pullman, 5 hour drives each way to see our favorite human. Huck was just a puppy when Ben came on the scene, and he loved Ben from the start. Well, maybe he resented him a little, he was the new guy taking away mom’s time – but now, you can’t beat seeing that dog light up when his “Big Hooman” walks through the door. Albeit, slowly when he is cuddling with me on the couch when Ben comes in.

There have been road trips, to Idaho, Montana, and all over the state, with Huck in tow.  He’s our constant companion, best friend, and my trusted kitchen mop.

With all those little quirks about him, and medical issues to boot, you will never see a finer dog, nor a more happy hooman that calls him “mine”.
