As you can see I take entirely too many photos of my dog. There are about 2000 more where these came from. I was just scrolling through memory lane and pictures the other day and figured it was about time Finn gets featured on the blog.
He will be 4 years old in April and has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. The moment I saw him on the humane society's website I fell in love and knew I had to have him. Finn is a mutt, I have heard many many breed names to describe him. Really I just describe him as a crazy, fun, loving, cuddle bug.
Finn changed my life. He came to me at a time in my life where my job wasn't the one I wanted, a relationship was ending, and I really just needed something else. Taking care of my dog was the best thing that could have happened. Dogs really just make everything better. Here is why.
1. They are instant best friends. I have someone to greet me at the door every time I walk through it - doesn't matter if I have been out five minutes or all day long at work - he wags his tail with love.
2. Your feet will never be cold again. Finn sleeps in the bed with me and has since I couldn't deal with the night-time whining any longer but that means no cold feet and always someone to cuddle with.
3. You never have leftovers if you don't want them. There is always a pup nose on the kitchen table waiting for scraps using those melt your heart sad eyes.
4. Fresh air and exercise. Since Finn has been toted around with me on my many many moves in the past 3 1/2 years mostly apartments it gives me the best excuse to get outside and play at the dog park or go for a really long walk. Now it's part of my daily self care routine right after work, we walk.
5. They are just such cute photo models. I mean - see above.
Needless to say Finn is my furry bff. I mean I hardly run errands without him tagging along and sticking his head out the car window enjoying the ride now. I never grew up with dogs so he is actually my first pup. I am amazed how just having a pup around has made my world wonderful.
Do you have dogs? What is your favorite thing about them being in your life?
