Introducing Fin!

Welcome to my blog! Pull up a chair and snuggle down with a dog or three, and stay a while!

Finley is a pit bull. He was surrendered to the local animal control facility, where his sweet, gentle nature made him an instant staff favorite. Well, his nature may be loving and kind of goofy, but his looks are fierce -- he is a short, muscular black dog with a giant head and deeply cropped ears, and he attracts all the wrong sort of attention from all the wrong sort of people. The shelter got him out into foster care.

We lost our 14 year old lab/pit mix to cancer in the beginning of the summer, and our dogs missed their friend terribly. When we decided to add a third dog, I was certain of only two things: I wanted a dog who could be a friend to my shep/boxer/whatever mix, and I wanted a dog from PACCA/PAWS.

Enter Finley, stage right. We fell in love with him at first sight. Unfortunately, for the dogs it was not so instantaneous. At first, Tuni completely ignored him, excepting the breaks she took to dominate and bully him. Sadly, we thought that it would not work out. Fortunately for all of us, we went home and talked it over, and decided that maybe the shelter environment was too stressful, and that we should try to introduce them somewhere else.

We brought him home, and he just never left.

Uh oh, sounds like Toddler McWakeyPants has ended his nap, and therefore it is time for us to go vote. More on The Great & Glorious after we have gone to the polling station and done our part for democracy!
