Montauk

Today, we took a ride out to Montauk, affectionately called "The End" - -

It was so nice - cooler weather, ocean breezes...



Sniffing around in the rocks, trying to eat the seaweed...


She looks like she's had the best day ever, no?

Dog Swap with Sarge

Last night we got a package!

Ah, Finn, there's more to the package than the cardboard!!

Oooooohhh!  Fun pulling toys!!

Ouch!  Prickly things that I am sure will make my fur shine!

Yum yum yum yum

An instant favorite!

Squeak squeak squeak

She loves all of her gifts! Thank you Sarge, this was fun!

Relief - Part 2

Don't lick the fan, Finn!  
I had to put the fan outside the gate so she didn't learn the hard way today!

Bobbing for Ice Cubes

Watching Ice and Coco relentlessly talk about their new reality show gave me the idea a few weeks ago to give Finn some ice every now and then again to cool off.  Then today, I decided to make her work for it.  I mean, I did spoil her rotten yesterday morning when we went shopping...


Poor clown squeakie toy - he doesn't know how he wound up wedged in the corner like that.

As an aside, notice the little bench we have to serve Finn on?  That's so she won't dip her feet in her water bowl.  My kitchen floor doesn't notice the difference, since Finn slobbers extra water all over the floor, but at least she doesn't tip her toes in the bowl!

AND, this is Finn's first public video - the Howards promise to work on the background conversations, so in the future,  Finn's public can focus just on her!!  :)

Gotta Go Shopping!

I was so excited when Sarge told me about the doggie-swap happening over at Wyldechild's blog.  I just thought it was such a great idea!  And then I was even more excited when I found out that I had been paired up with Sarge - I mean, did you check out his video for the peeps-on-parade winner?!?  This doggie is pretty awesome, which I am sure you all know already!

I took Finnie shopping so we could create a great care package.  I figured it's time to make Finn as much of a pro at shopping as I am, so I let her tell me which things Sarge would like best...


It's actually kind of funny, because there was obedience training happening at the same time at the other end of the store, and I am walking around with Finn taking pictures of her sniffing out the good stuff!  I think the dogs-in-training were a little jealous.

And then I felt some guilt when a salesperson told me that it must be hard to say no to Finnie, given how cute she is and all.  (*Sigh*, it's a tough life for Finn)  I mean, I couldn't take her shopping for another doggie without letting her pick up some stuff for herself, right?  So, I wound up buying some new things for her too - - 



And now we're off to drop the swap-box in the mail and enjoy another glorious spring Saturday here!  Have a great weekend!
