Hollywood Hank's Last Columns

These are Hollywood Hank's last couple columns, plus a tribute from the staff at the Hollywood Star and a final letter from Kathy.

I had to send Hank to the big dog park in the sky on December 31, 2012. Easily the most miserable day of my life.

Hank was diagnosed with cancer in mid-December, and I knew something was wrong with him several weeks before that. I had dreaded that this may happen more and more as he got older because boxers are prone to cancer. Hank was such a great companion and such a sweet soul and so nice and I spent so much time with him that I am still having a tough time adjusting to life without him. Even my mom liked Hank and she doesn't like dogs at all. He came to work with me all the time, and he was a regular part of my social circle and got to spend a lot of time with my friends and their dogs as well. From kickball games and patio beer sessions in the summer, to beach house and central Oregon weekends. I miss the hell out of my dog.

Saw this info graphic the other day. I sit all day long and I go to the gym regularly to get my cardio and some weights in. Apparently that doesn't matter. I'm going to go walk around the office now.
