Finlie's First Year

My Mom made this sweet video of some tricks and things I learned this first year of life. I can't wait to learn and play some more. My motto - work hard, play hard.

March

Hi everyone!

I made a new friend. Her name is Heidi. We played and played. She was gentle with me but I liked to jump on her head. We ran so much on the bricks I got blister boo boos on my feet. I limped for a day but I feel much better now. I love the warmer weather. I hear the snow will come back next year but for now spring is on its way and I totally dig it.

Heidi

Heidi loves to snuggle me.

Then I pounce her in the face.

Spring is awesome! I get to play outside.

I look so grown up don't you think?

The KONG Fairy

A week ago I was visited by the KONG Fairy. I must have been really good because I have a lot of new toys I can't destroy in five minutes. So far I really like the skunk and anything with treats inside.

I have been learning lots of fun stuff at school. I can jump through moms arms and walk backwards and stand on a box. I really have fun playing with other puppies. Mom takes me to the park and I wear every other dog out.

This dress is for Cousin Chibi. I am just modeling it for everyone. I think its cute but I was more excited about the big treat mom gave me for being a good sport. I hope you like it Cousin.

January

Hello Everyone,

Sorry it's been so long, mom lost her camera so these are the only pictures for the whole month. The first two are me on my "mat." I am beginning to love it, especially since I get treats when I go to it.

I am learning lots of other neat tricks. I can target a post it note on the wall, give both paws, spin, stand on a box, get into a box and I am getting better on a leash. (I prefer freedom still.) It's been snowing a lot her lately. My favorite thing about snow are the icicles from the roof. It is my duty to seek out the largest one and bring it to the front door. I am always hoping mom will let me bring it in but so far no luck
These two sad pictures are from after my spay surgery. That was a scary experience but mommy came to pick me up and I slept happily for the rest of the day with Mater. I feel great now, no stitches and no icky bugs on my head anymore.
I think that's it for now. Oh I have a new favorite friend at school. His name is Seely and he is a tiny daschund. He is so cute and cuddly. I like to chase him.

My First Christmas!

Christmas is finally here! I didn't really know what it was except I couldn't touch this big tree and I couldn't eat the fun white stuff underneath it. Then Mom and Dad sat down with big socks and I got a little sock and we played. My new favorite thing is a Christmas Hedgehog. It's like I can play with my big sister and not get spiked. I love it. Here are some fun videos and pictures of Christmas.

Training Video 1

I love to practice my tricks. Mom finally took a movie of me practicing. I'm doing a good job. I only get confused sometimes and when all else fails I give my paw.

Play Time

Hello Everyone! I know still pictures are cool but I thought you might enjoy this video of me playing with my Loofa. Sadly, I'm not allowed to play with Loofa anymore because I ripped him open and ate the inside. Here he is still intact. Enjoy!
