Henry is wall eyed. I noticed it at first a couple fo days ago, and thought that it was a one-off ocurrence.
Not so. He's looked wall-eyed numerous times today. I think it's cute; Dave thinks that it's a physical confirmation of his belief that Henry's "not all there". I think he's "all there", he's smarter at this young age than our other dog was at 2 years. He asked to go outside today, he sat by the screen door and whined until I opened it, and then he trotted out into the yard, peed, and played with a leaf. Chyna didn't ask to go out until she was almost a year old. Today may have been a one-off incident, but it shows that he's making connections in that little head of his: Door = outside = bathroom. Cry by the door = someone opens it = getting out to the grass to go potty. Yeah, he's not there alright....
It rained here earlier this evening, and Henry got all wet when he went outside. He came back in shivering, so I dried him off and went to get his little sweater that I had knitted for him. He doesn't like it. Not at all. He walked a few steps in it, then rolled over on his back and chewed at the sleeves. Kept that up for half an hour...walk a bit, roll over and chew. I finally felt sorry for him and took it off.
He's asleep on Dave's chest at the moment. Dave acts like he doesn't like him, but I catch him calling him or holding him or patting him and grinning while Henry licks his chin. I guess it's a dude thing...and dacshunds aren't exactly manly dogs.
So, that's the update on Henry. Oh, and he's not howling all night anymore either. That's the thing I'm liking the best!
