Prior to Spring Break 2013, the administration at the veterinary school decided to challenge the crap out of us by giving us back to back to back exams. Now, finals week with a sleepy, nine week old puppy is one thing: it's him sleeping happily and me having to resist the urge to way him up and play. Back to back exams with a five month old puppy? That's a completely different monster: it's 60lbs of cute, demanding your attention... #screamingpuppy
Chris and I had big plans to survive this week and then take off to Boyne Mountain with my sister, my brother and cousins. But survival was questionable at this point. Until this happened:
At first, I was elated. Then I realized that I would be away from my buddy for the first time since December. Sarah pulled up, having driven an hour and a half, to come get my boy and loaded her car with toys, food, and a crate. I'd like to say I was tough, but I cried... like a baby. Henry seemed to be just fine though.

This is the start of Henry's long history of thinking that all other dogs want to be his friend, regardless of growling, biting, bearing teeth... I blame it on the hearing and his loving, happy personality.

Once exams were over and spring break started up, Aunt Sarah took my little man to spend a weekend at Grandma's. My mom has a boxer named Stella who (at this point)
loved Henry. They played constantly for the three days. I'm not sure my mom slept.

Henry's first trip away from mom was so much fun that he slept for almost two complete days. He made lots of "friends" and mom passed all of her exams
without crying too often.
