What a handsome little man.

I can't get over how since I have started this Finn looks so different every single day.

He looks so grown up here. My big almost 3 month old pup!

What a handsome little man.

We have survived week 1 one crate training while I am at work.  He did so well.

Such a smart pup.  

So friendly too. He wants to play with every dog and human we see and will whine if they don't want to play with him.  

He keeps me laughing with his little quirks, like running up a hill to roll down it.  Ever do that as a kid? He loves it.  There are these tall grass bushes near my building and he will pounce in them and then crawl around like a lion, the only thing you can see is his little tail wagging in the air. Hilarious.  I need to get a video one of these days and post it!

He is doing really well.  I just have never had a dog before so I really don't know how to get him to stop biting and to walk on the leash. 

I live near a highway and a pretty busy road.  He gets scared and won't budge once we start hearing the highway.  Then along the main road sidewalk he whines and whines and tries to run all the way home. I know he will get used to it because once we get to the greenway he does wonderful.  We do get to a point though where he will again refuse to walk any further and turns around to sprint home.  It's so weird! 

I love coming home to him though.  It really makes my day so much better.  I know if I have a bad day he will just make it all okay again. :) 

We have our puppy orientation class at petsmart and I am so excited for the good tips that we will learn!

Have a wonderful weekend puppy friends.

Love,

 A and Finn <3 

Picture a Day

One of my neighbors gave me the idea to take pictures of Finn in the same position so I can really see how he grows and changes.  

So here Finn is at 10 weeks old.  [What a cutie :)] 

Back story.

I have always loved dogs.  

I used to beg and beg my parents for one when I was little.  Complete with research and pretty convincing arguments if I may say so.

Yet, the answer was always the same. No.  

As a tease, I believe, I continued to get little stuffed animal dogs instead.  Gee, thanks.

So now here I am.

Living on my own.  Teaching.  Loving life.  

BUT I couldn't get puppies off my mind.  I would find myself on humane society's websites and reading countless training articles.

Then one day I was browsing again and stopped.  My eyes fixated on this little guy. He was adorable.  Every other puppy I saw before this I thought "oh they are cute" but with him I thought "he is mine"

I just knew.  

Plus this is the humane society in Boone where I used to volunteer in college and love them.

I contacted them immediately. Since I am no longer in Boone I couldn't hold him.  

I gave it up to God.  Knowing I was going for a visit the next week.  "If it's meant to be he will still be there." 

So Tuesday morning I went to the Humane Society and sure enough my little man was there waiting for me to bring him home.  

Here we are.  Finn and I.  Meeting eachbother for the first time. 

My two favorite boys.  Precious right? 

So he came home with us. 

This is my first time doing this and I could use any advice or tips that you are willing to share.

Follow along to find out what Finn and I are up to.  :)
