In this Bear Necessities edition of "The Adventures of Henry," we have a movie song cover!
Look for the bear necessities
The simple bear necessities
Forget about your backyard and your strife
I mean the bear necessities
Oh My God there's a bear in my yard!
That brings the bear necessities of life!

In this theatrical episode of "The Adventures of Henry," we find our "stage-door-Johnny" hanging around waiting for his girlfriend Olivia to come out. Just to give you some context, it wouldn't even take a chicken nugget for Henry to trade both Susan and me to spend time with Olivia!

An Irish ballad edition of "The Adventures of Henry."
"You take the high road"
"And I'll take the low road"
"And I'll sniff Rosey's butt afore ya"
In a nice baritone, it truly brings a tear to your eye.

For this edition of "The Adventures of Henry" we have this pre-pounce pic of "Rose incoming at 3:00 o'clock." I hope Henry was able to repel boarders. I'm sure we'll hear about his un-exaggerated triumph when we pick him up from daycare today! #adventuresofhenrythedoodle #awesomedoodles

This end-of-the-week episode of "The Adventures of Henry" presents him and his friend Rose chillin' and enjoying a beautiful end-of-summer day. He's waiting for his mom to pick him up so he can let her get NO rest at home, even though he's been running around all day. A puppy's work is never done!

In this hovering edition of "The Adventures of Henry" we see our guy playing "King Of The Yellow Bridge" as he hovers behind his friend Obi. This could be evidence that puppies (Obi) enjoy micromanagement as much, if not more, than we do! #adventuresofhenrythedoodle #awesomedoodles

In this eye-roll edition of "The Adventures of Henry," we see Henry with his friend Rosie. Anyone who knows French-Bulldogs knows they are "all that and a bag of chips." Thus the aforementioned eye-roll. #adventuresofhenrythedoodle #awesomedoodles

In today's reproachful episode of "The Adventures of Henry," we have a picture from his day at camp on Tuesday. The camp counselor let me know Henry said, "You're not my mom. My MOM would never make me go out in the rain like this. My MOM is WAY cooler than you!"

In today's "The Adventures of Henry," we see our hero making sure I'm not leaving without him as I work from our daughter's house. He knows of the vast dangers of this neighborhood (dragons, marauders, etc.), and he wants to make sure I'm safe. What a great guy he is! #adventuresofhenrythedoodle
