Henry Jack.

Sir Henry Jack Langham

"A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.”

Mom’s best friend had to be put to sleep today. Henry was our 185 lb. Great Dane love bug. He was born on Oct. 3^rd, all of the kids in our family are October babies. Henry has been with us through thick in thin all the way from Georgia, to Texas, to Tennessee, and then to Oklahoma. He had a big bark but was afraid of a 5 lb. Chihuahua!!! He loved to sit in your lap and to steal Lesley’s and my stuffed animals. We will never forget the sound of Henry getting a drink in the kitchen-who could?! When he was a baby he LOOOOVED icebones he soon graduated to “cookies”. He was as stubborn as anything – but we loved him anyway. We will never look in the backyard without remembering Henry doing ZOOMIES like he was just a puppy again. Henry didn’t like scary movies—he considered anything with guns or loud music scary-he insisted to be covered up completely at night (on his twin size bed with his baby held in between his paws). He loved to snuggle with mom (they took the best naps together)

 

We love you Henry Jack.

(P.S. I’m sorry I complained about having to pick up your poop!)

Henry—I promise to take care of mom just like you would have after the surgery. You were the best dog ever—Tell Sophie, Gracie, and Charlie we love them and miss them. Love-your sister Kate.

This is my favorite picture of Henry--I'm glad I got to take this with my camera.
