My firstborn

I may not have actually birthed Finley, but he is my baby. He will always hold a special place in my heart, even when he’s barking for no apparent reason.

Here are a few of the things I love about this crazy pup:

  1. He is great around kids. He would probably offer them rides if he spoke English (still working on that one).
  2. He allows me to do all of the following: hug him, kiss his face multiple times, lie on him, etc. Please note: I say “allows” because he’s not a cuddler. Unlike Riley, Fin would prefer to observe from a distance. Even still, he is a sweetheart that tolerates my hovering and touchiness.
  3. He looks out for Riley. Watch out cats. Finley will defend Riley all day long. Only HE can pin her to the ground and wrestle with her. No one else. The end.
He's so happy all the time.

He’s so happy all the time.

Really, like I tell him all the time, he’s my best friend.
