Finley

When I came to live with my daughter, Jenny, and her kids, I came with my two dogs, Ella and Lilly. Plus, Jenny had (at that time) four cats. So I was surprised when she came home with a new puppy named Finley. However, except for not being born housebroken, Finley is a sweet little baby who loves everyone.

Our newest addition, Finley the French bulldog puppy, is getting to know his family.

Finley is the fastest moving puppy I've ever seen. Here are the past month or so's collection of photos, showing how Finley is warming up to the other dogs, especially Lilly, who is still young enough to be willing to play with him. (To a point.) Ella, being older, is like the maiden aunt who prefers to look at the youngsters from the safety of her rocking chair.

Finley doesn't like to swim, but he definitely likes to climb.

So my dog, Ella, loves to swim. My other dog, Lilly, is a strong swimmer but she doesn't really like it that much. Finley, on the other hand, hates being in the water, and of course isn't really built for swimming anyway. But he does love running around and around the pool while Ella is swimming in it, and climbing on the fountain rocks.

Sadly, we have to fix what isn't broken.

I love Finley, nicknamed Lord Finley the Flatulant. But he's also nicknamed Puddles because we haven't been able to convince him not to mark his territory…inside the house. So, a couple days ago, I was elected to take him to be fixed.
