puppy class graduate

My little baby is all grown up and graduated puppy class.  What a difference from the beginning of class to now.  Our trainer is amazing and has great pointers for everything! He knows so much and we decided to continue on with the trainer and the whole class moving into intermediate.  This class is more behavior and manners, which he still needs! We are looking forward to it!

Maybe next time he won't look so miserable with the graduation cap on! 

In other news.  Finn has successfully completed 2 mountain hikes.  He is wonderful at walking and hiking now and I love having a buddy to go outdoors with! 

We also love to just sit on the porch and watch the world go by.  Especially now there is a tiny hint of a cooler breeze. By that I mean it's not 100 and humid out anymore so it's actually nice!

Have a relaxing weekend

Love

A & Finn

Happy Friday

I have been horrible about posting. My life is always hectic and there are times where I just completely let things slip by. Finn is wonderful. Less biting more listening and going to the door when he wants to go out. 

He is enjoying his new view out the window because he is taller! 

He loves redecorating the apartment. He says it's more feng shui to have the pillows on the floor! 

We are excited for the weekend. It means longer walks. Sleeping in. (He slept until 9 last weekend and I thought he died! It scared me but he was fine!) and this weekend Danny is coming to visit. Maybe we will even get to see Boh his best buddy.

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Love, 

A& Finn 

wonderful

nothing can be more wonderful than coming home to a happy puppy who just wants to lay in your lap and take a nap.

that is all. 

day ????

I have been kind of failing at this photo a day thing.

Finn and I have definitely been super busy.  

We have been in puppy class for two weeks and are working hard on our manners. 

Basically trying to get him to sit [or say please] for everything.  From getting food, to greeting people, to playing or getting attention.  The sit for food or a toy is going great! He still gets SO excited when a person comes or he sees them that he just can't remember his manners at all!

The next week we learned loose leash walking.  Stubborn Finn is actually pretty good at the walking part [when he decides he wants to]  He is not a puller, I am the one pulling on the walk saying come on let's go! He will get to walking when he feels good and ready.  Crazy. 

Finn is now 3 and a half months old and I am so ready for the biting to stop.  I have been so consistent with the walk away after saying NO method.  One trainer said oh if you do this 3 days and it will be over.  She lied.  He is getting better but still it can be frustrating. 

advice? 

Here is a little of what we love:

We love to run. 

We love our best friend Bear.

We love car rides. 

We love helping with the chores at the parents house. 

We love killing stuffed animals.

We love trying to get on Mom's bed. 

We love photo bombing pictures.

We love each other. 

We love commenting on Mom's outfits. 

Have a wonderful week.

Love,

A & Finn

My boyfriend made these from some pictures I have sent him!  

Just had to share because I think they are hilarious!

Hope they put a smile on your face too!

Finn wanted to look spiffy for our late night photo shoot! #targetsoesitagain with bowtie a for collars! How cute is that?

We had a busy Tuesday with the vet and dinner at my parents. He loves it over there with a backyard to play in! 

Then Finn tried to help me grade some tests but licking paper doesn't give students good feedback...

Love,

Sad, sad attempt at the picture of the day.  Finn was not having it. Instead of sitting he wanted to do paw and army crawl to me! 

We had a relaxing rainy weekend together.

We took some selfies.

We are still working on being in the crate while I am home.  He doesn't like not being able to play 24/7.

We were being sweet and cuddly for a rainy movie marathon day.

Finn was not a huge fan of LOTR so he just fell asleep.

We had a puppy play date with his best friend Boh [a lab mix the same age]  They love playing together! 

We tried to completely take over Mom's bed as she was doing lesson plans for the week. 

Happy Monday friends! 

Love,

A & Finn
