Unsung Hero

If you browse through the OBP archives you may notice that Henry has had the fewest number of blogs with him as the center of the story. In some ways, that probably has to do with the fact that he has been the most healthy. And we love that he is healthy! But, another reason is that he is just such a good boy, and let's face it, well behaved pugs rarely make blog history.

He does everything right. He listens (when he can hear---his hearing has been getting kind of dull). He follows directions. He doesn't mess with the cat. He doesn't have potty accidents in the house. Even when it's raining. He will just go outside and get wet and be happy with a towel dry off when he's done. Or really, even if no towel dry he's good with that too! This is so not Benny or Looney like. On rainy nights Ben would not poop outside (but then would leave us a "surprise" in the guest bathroom overnight) and Luna would just be able to "hold it" until morning. They were prima donnas. Both of them. But not Hank.

I am in no way implying that Benjamin and Luna were bad pugs. They were very well behaved, but they did have a little bit of mischievousness to them. Henry's mischievous side is almost non existent. Instead,he was always happy being the practical sidekick to Benny and Luna.

Henry is just so well mannered, unobtrusive, laid back and mellow that there is nothing we can really say that will make him sound exciting. LOL I guess we should throw him in a leather jacket and have him hop up on a motorcycle just to give the appearance that he's as bad ass.

In all seriousness Henry has a wonderfully charming personality, but that really plays better to a live audience.

He is truly an unsung hero.
