Finn is now 5 and a half months old. How time flies. I wish I was better and actually kept up with the photo a day so I can really see the changes he has made.
He has been doing so well. My little man is just the sweetest thing. He is a ball of energy and absolutely loves people.
The biting phase is slowly coming to an end. Now we are working on not jumping on people because not everyone wants that.
The trainer at pets mart is a godsend. She has so many tricks and ideas to help with everything not just what they are supposed to learn in class. The group we have in the class is close too, so we are very open and honest about how the dogs really are.
The biggest nightmare I have had was Finn's neutering.
When I adopted him at the humane society they wanted me to come back there to get it done. This of course was a hassle in and of itself, they are 2 hours away and could only do the surgery on Thursday mornings.
So I drove Finn up to Boone on a Wednesday after school and dropped him off to stay with Dan.
That weekend I went back to Boone.
Finn was really not happy with us at all after the surgery. I also was very nervous. It looked horrible all bruised and swollen. The Humane Society assured me it was normal for him to be like that.
Well a week later I took him to our normal vet and sure enough I should have trusted my gut. The incision spot was left opened. I also should have been given meds to help the process.
So with Finn already being on house arrest for one week, we now have 3 different medications and he has two staples, and a cone. He has to be crated until next Monday. The poor thing. He doesn't like it at all. I can't help but laugh as he has the cone on and tries to run away from me because it looks hilarious.
Needless to say I am not a very happy person. I feel terrible this happened.
Finn is not happy either. He has even developed camera shyness.
We still say happy October and Halloween.
Love,
A & Finn
