Hannah

aka Hambone, aka Hannah Banana

Hannah and I found each other when she was five, and I was longing for another big dog. What a beauty....quirky, funny markings, big and lumbering. Hannah lived in the slow lane. Her nose however was always alert and poking around. She tolerated one cat and would chase the other. No explanation or apology given. For such a big dog she took food from my hand with gentle, and delicate precision. She really was determined never to touch water whether it be at a lake, or in a rain. She would also refuse to walk with anyone else but me so those days when I was away or incapacitated she would lead our friends on by allowing them to put the leash on her but then would sit down firmly at the end of the yard and not move. This lead to many hilarious stories and videos. We were a good pair. Solid, steady, quiet and loving towards each other.

See you in St. Louis Hannah.... I've planted flowers for you.
