Meet Hobie! He's a super-sweet, 1-year-old red heeler rescue. Though he's much, much smaller than the dogs we're used to, he's learning to fit in very well--he's figuring out that Miss Piggy is the alpha dog, and he's learning to avoid Mia, our Maine Coon cat. Hobie is the smartest dog I've ever met. Henry says if Hobie had thumbs, he'd be dangerous. I say that if Hobie had thumbs, he'd be doing the shopping and the cooking.
