Finly

  • Birthdate: 7-19 (the opposite of mine 9-17)
  • Age as of now: 11 months and two days
  • Where I got him at: Up at my grandparents camp. It's a great story, let me tell you it...

We were coming back from South Carolina, and it was about 10:00 when we finally made the long trip back, although we went two more hours north to my grandparent's cottage. When we arrived, a family that lives down the (i guess you can call it a street) from the cottage was there and they had some puppies with them. Six to be exact. And only four of them were sold. They were four weeks old, so we couldn't get them at that moment. It took a lot of convincing my mom, but finally she told me I could pick one. There were two brown labs left. One was short and chubby, the other was long, skinny, and tall. I chose the second one, because it was the one who seemed to like me better. His face was also the cutest thing. With his eyes bigger than everything else.

  • Name: Finly. I named him Finly for two reasons. 1) i was reading a book and the friend was named Finn. Finn died in the story. 2) without even thinking of the book, he looked like a finly. i don't know why.
  • Type of dog: Chocolate Lab

He is a very good dog. He is pretty much potty trained, unless left alone. He still chews things, though. He knows sit, and sometimes lay. He knows his name (has known it since i got him). He is calm, unless you just enter the house. He loves attention and loves going outside.

Finly loves when you scratch him behind his ear, and he loves when you play ball with him. He also loves to take up the whole bed and still expects you to sleep on it. Boy do I love my puppy!

  • Nickname: Finny
  • Best Dog Friend: Madeline (Alli's dog)

And I think that's all you need to know about my doggy!
