Tank
I adopted Tank 3 years ago and he has been the biggest blessing in my life. He is very curious, stubborn, timid, loving, calm and super protective. He loves to explore new places, has to put his nose into everything new, enjoys his cold morning walks and is definitely not a fan of the heat and is terrified of storms.
Tank will do anything and everything for a strip of bacon, a bite or two of salmon and peanut butter.
He is my greatest companion and follows me around almost everywhere. Knows my bedtime and makes sure I get to bed on time every night, greatly enjoys his car rides while listening to either country or rap (his favorite – no joking). Hanging out with him is my most favorite thing to do when I am not on the range or classroom teaching.
