Briefly this passed winter, and I mean perhaps for a mere 24 hours, I
thought that I wanted to adopt a male chocolate lab. The fleeting
infatuation with chocolate labs was just long enough for me to post an
ad on kijiji, and forget about it. My inbox
got a single response regarding adopting another standard poodle. How
serendipitous, I was just thinking I would rather have another poodle
rather than a hyper, shedding lab. The poodle was white. Yuck. I mean
what about if he peed on himself, would his fur stain? He was also bigger than Clover. Could
I really handle a dog who was bigger than Clover? I had my doubts but it just felt right. I became really excited
about possibly about adopting Finn. My husband was not. For 2 and half
months we talked about adopting Finn and finally we brought him home in
the end of April 2012.
We all love Finn, now. He is very gentle with people, in fact my four year old rides him like a pony. He does pretty well with other dogs but Finn has to do a little maucho posturing to let every dog know he is alpha. He came to us untrained so I am working with him. He is eager to please but he is still a work in progress. I am so glad that he
ended up with our family for his forever home.
Finn after we got him home and groomed.
I just love his pom pom tail.
