All is Good in The Neighborhood

So the other day was just what I said it was, a scare. Super scary to be exact. His blood results came back normal so my baby is fine. He must of just gotten into something he shouldn't have. Since he hadn't had breakfast yet, he upchucked nothing and that probably really wore him out. I heard sometimes dogs get really winded when they vomit too hard. Either way yesterday he was fine. I took him to the dog park and he wanted to play with all the big doggies, but he's too little yet, so I leave him in the 30lbs and under. He would run around if he had another dog to play with but the little dogs rarely come to the dog park. He likes to sniff and playfully growl at the big dogs when they come up to the fence. When he's bigger I'll let him go over there and play, but for now he will just have to wait a little longer. What an interesting week. I hope everyone else had a good one.

I feel much better thanks for everyone who was concerned.

Late Night Update

I'm kind of a night owl. I just seem to get more done when the world is all asleep and quiet, no distractions... most of all a sleeping puppy. :) A few great things to talk about for sure, and I just couldn't wait till morning!

First up, dog park update. We went to the dog park this evening and it went better than expected. Finnley just loved exploring and sniffing. He stayed glued to my hip most of the time. He sniffed  a few big dogs, but for the most part stayed close. He was very well behaved all the way there and on the way home. I think it was a little too hot for my little guy. We were only there a half hour if that and I think he got a little over heated. I didn't really drink the water I had for him so I just took him home. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot and he ralphed in the car. He seemed fine after I got him home and in the air conditioning. He loves to be cold he sleeps right next to the vent under my bed. I felt bad for the little guy. I think we will wait till it cools down a bit more before another visit. I can't wait to visit again though. He needs some friends so he will stop pouncing the cat. Let's face it I don't think he will stop doing that for awhile :p.

Second on my list I ordered some really cool bumper stickers today from our new friends Kelly and Gibson. I love Kelly's store. If you don't know about it you can find it here. Kelly has an adorable corgi named Gibson and a very adorable corgi store. I just loved these two graphics and can't wait to put them on my car :).

Can't wait to get them in the mail! I'm super excited Kelly!

Last on my list I'd like to talk about how friendly the corgi community has been so far. I feel like Finn and I have been welcomed with open arms. Lots of great people here and I can't wait to meet more. One thing I'd really be interested in is the Paw It Forward thing I've seen people do. It's so cute to see how excited those dogs get to get mail! Let me know if any of you would be interested in participating in it or know some one who is.
Whelp better get some shut eye. That pup gets up pretty early.

Night all,
Michelle & Finnley

So Much Finnley, So Little Time

I've been documenting like crazy lately. Taking the camera out constantly. Which is unusual for me. Usually I just rely on my "mental camera" and regret it later. NOT TODAY. After I saw the small selection of puppy pictures I had, and how fast my little one was growing, I decided I needed to take more pictures before he was a puppy no longer. Today, we started off with playing "towel" one of Finnley's favorites as of late. I was folding towels the other day and he kept stealing them. When he stole an old worn out beach towel,  I continued to egg him on. He just loved getting covered and "attacking" from under the towel.

Now you see me...

Now you don't...

Silly dog. As promised here is the newest toy Finnley likes to play with. He loves water bottles and hoards them like a squirrel. When I was a Target I saw a cute skunk with a water bottle inside. I bought it because I thought it was a cute way to utilize those darn water bottles that are lying all over my floor. It's called Pawdoodles Krinklers Skunk. 

It squeaks, crackles and crinkles! It's a Pawdoodle Krinkler! Strong durable plush skunk dog toy with a recyclable plastic water bottle inside to make the noise. Easy to replace. Squeaker in head and tail. 

Finnley loves his little skunk. I've already had to replace the bottle once since I've gotten it, but it's really easy to do. There is a little pouch under his tail that you can remove and replace the bottle. You can get one of these on Amazon for like $10 bucks. Not bad at all really. 


On a side note, the vet said that Finnley will be losing teeth soon which means he will be teething. I caught him chewing on a flip flop yesterday so I know it's not far. Any good suggestions on what type of toy is good for a teething pooch? I know Kong makes some good ones. I really need to just take him to Petsmart and see what he gravitates towards. I'd hate to buy him toys that he has no interest in. 


Also, I really want to take him to the dog park now that he has all of his shots, but I'm kinda nervous about letting him "loose." I really want him to burn off some energy and let him run around. He loves to go nuts in the house and it would be nice to let him go. We don't have a fenced in yard, so he is always on his leash. I'm just a little leery of him getting into trouble while hes off the leash and then running from me. Eventually he will park it though... his bursts don't last THAT long. I think he'll be alright. I'm going to talk him around the park before we actually go "in" it and see how he reacts. He doesn't really mind other dogs, but I haven't really had him around other dogs since the 4th of July. It will be a learning experience. I just really want to get him socialized. Whelp, in the next entry I'll let you know how the dog park went and possibly Petsmart. Here's to having some dawgy fun and getting this pup socialized! 


Have a good Wednesday,


Michelle & Finnley
