Gratuitous Hanna Pictures

As promised previously, here's Hanna in her new jacket we got for her "walkies," and we think she looks quite fetching, though what exactly she thinks about it in this photo is anyone's guess! It was a bit difficult to get her to sit still for these photos since she had just returned from her jaunt with Fernymoss ... tonight was quick (again, it was cold!) and just around a couple of blocks, but she got to meet some people who made over her, so she was quite happy to oblige them by playing happy puppy....
This shot gives a better view of the whole jacket, which to us looks like a jogging suit, and though it has a hoodie, she's having none of that, so we just let it hang behind her head ... I've yet to meet a dog who really likes having anything on her head, and though Pepa used to tolerate the Devil horns at Halloween, it was clear she was no fan of them! Shortly after taking this picture, the jacket came off for the night so she could play freely, bouncing around the room with her Kongs and squeaking the evil mouse madly until we could take it no more and put it up! I do agree with the yawn though, and need to be heading to bed myself very soon! It's all quiet downstairs, so I know what that means ... there's a snoozing couple in one of the recliners who needs to be revived and trundled off to bed!

Sunday Hanna will be officially ours, so we're going to have to plan for extra walkies and treats that day to celebrate ... by all indications, she has chosen us and our house and plans to stay. We couldn't be happier about it, and when we asked her tonight if she wants this to be her "forever home," she just wagged madly and jumped into the air a few times to give us her answer....

All she needs now is a lightsaber and it's Hannah Skywalker! :D

You're right about the two different rabbits. I forgot to go ask Alice.

Our neighbor rescues greyhounds after the races are over. She now has a mini greyhound and he uses puppy clothing, too.

Cute photos. I'm sure that Sunday can't come soon enough.

Hey Janet,
I'm not sure I'd trust her with a light saber just yet, but that's a fun idea ... only thing is how she'd hold it!

Harvey is the nice rabbit. He likes good conversation and martinis...

Hey B2,
I hate to keep harping on the cute factor, but she has it in spades! Not to mention the charm... Fernymoss had the day off today and took her to his work to meet people and she was a hit ... then the grand parents came over and were completely taken with her as well. She has that way about her, lol.

Two weeks ago I was worried that we might not be "up to snuff" to own her, but since she arrived, everyone seems to be in agreement that she's come home for good. YAY!

Cool new painting you have going now, my friend!

I do think she needs some doggie UGG Boots...do they make them! She is a delicate little puppy! Congrats on her official adoption! You both are great parents!

Have I told you about the guy we see at the coffee shop who has a motorcycle with a side car? He has two labs who wear Doggles (goggles for dogs) and ride around with him.

Take care!

Gail

Congratulations on making it official! Hanna seems to be tolerating the jacket rather well. We had a Dachsund that hated his jackets. The first, a coat designed for Dachsunds had a silhoutte of one on it. The dog immediately ripped it off. He hated the sweater even more & tore large holes in it.
I like the new look of the blog. I wish I knew more about code.

You have a very nice dog.

Cripes, I hope the rose bushes come back... it's so hard to tell in the winter what will thrive...

and it can be said about so many things nowadays.

I'm hoping my job lasts through the winter.

I'm hoping we can pay the bills, get food, kids keep growing out of things...

It's like I'm hanging on till Spring. Rebirth. If I can just make it through the winter...

Never felt like that before.

Awwww, she's adorable! Congratulations on your new addition - I love her! She looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for stopping by my blog and pointing me this way. I just love looking at puppy pictures!

Hi Gail!
What are UGG boots? As usual, I'm way behind the fashion curve (what's new there?) so you'll have to let me in on the secret. As for delicate, HAR! Far from it, she's a real scrapper ... a terrier after all, you know! Tough and tenacious is their middle name ...

That's really cool about the doggles ... would love to see that and it would certainly bring a smile to my face to see such a sight!

Thanks, but guess what? I've been sick again!!! ACK, I hate winter!

Iowa Victory Gardener said...

Hi MMD,
Yep, we're official parents now and it feels so great! No regrets at all about adopting too soon either, since she came Coco and Pepa approved (via dreams).

You know, in principle I'm opposed to doggie clothes (after all they do come with lovely coats), but given the brutal cold this winter and her very short fur, she really did need a little something for her extended walks outside, so I sat on my principle and stood up for a jacket. :-)

Glad you like the new look ... always great to see you stopping by!

Iowa Victory Gardener said...

Hi Raymonty,
Thanks for stopping by, and Hanna sends a friendly woof your way as well! Your doggie looks like a real friendly one too!

Iowa Victory Gardener said...

Janet,
Now, now, don't go fretting about those roses ok? If they don't make it, then just think ... you won't need to go out and get those matching snips, gloves and gardening clogs à la Carolyn Burnham! (HAR!)

I think we're all uneasy these days because of this unsettled economy ... I worry all the time about my job too, but somehow we'll make it. I'm still that much of an optimist (not something I'm generally known for!)

Just keep your eye out for those crocus and tulips! They'll make you believe in rebirth...

Iowa Victory Gardener said...

Hi Dog Geek!
Hanna thanks you for the compliments! She is such a happy and energetic little girl who has already brought us so much joy in a mere 3 weeks!

Hopefully soon more flower pics will abound here, but there will always be puppy pics and videos as the season progresses!

Good luck with your adoption! I need to stop by and see if you have any more news posted on the new little one!
