RIP Hank

Late last year the Canine Ranch received an abused Pyrenees who need a place to call home. A couple of days after he got there I asked if I could show him around. His name was Hank and he had no liveness at all. He was clearly not happy but would do whatever someone pushed him towards. Turned out when someone was brushing him a few days later they found he had stitches in his side. They were removed and it healed OK but Hank was never a high energy dog.

But he was loved and brushed and talked to every day. He kind of faded the past month or so and died last week.




Hank was so calm and happy to just walk slowly around the property that one of the walkers would just drape the lead across his back and he'd walk himself.




Hank was known for his soulful eyes. The way he should be remembered.




He found a safe home at the Ranch and received a lot of love.

Carrot cake results

I had what I thought was a pretty good piece of carrot cake last week from HEB. But I threw together this carrot mini-bundt cake yesterday and it is so much better that I'll have a hard time going back.





Neither Dana nor I are very good at icing. No patience. But we get the job done.

This cake has carrot, raisin, apple sauce, and mashed up pineapple in it so it is very moist and not at all dense. Lots of taste.
