May: Henry

Henry came into our life in the spring of 2011, a fit and lively dog. A second chance rescue from the Oregon Humane Society, Henry was originally picked up in the Klamath Falls area, having survived outdoors on his own for an unknown time. I like to imagine Henry as having traveled the world in that time; developing his refined tastes for swimming in rivers and accepting chin-scratches, and discovering his favorite game - chewing his rope whilst laying on his back, getting belly rubs. Regardless of his adventures, Henry was a welcome addition to our family: energetic in the field and a love sponge at home, happy to join me and Katie for a night of knitting or a weekend of camping, wiggling all the while.
