Fin

 

We adopted Fin (Sinclair was his SPCA name), on May 26th.  From the moment he happily jumped into our car to join our other dog Hutch, he became a part of our family as if he has always been with us.
 
Fin adapted very well to his new home although he was disappointed for awhile that we didn't scrape our plates into his food bowl after meals!  I've
never seen a dog get so excited about doing dishes!
 
Now that he gets regular walks and playtime ... and is fed a balanced,
dog-healthy diet, Fin has more energy and has lost a few of his extra
pounds (recommended by the vet).

 


 
He has also learned how to get in and out of a small boat and how to get a drink of water from a lake.  He is still unsure about wading or swimming and thinks our other dog is a bit crazy for jumping in the water.
 
It took him awhile to adjust to permitted, off-leash fun at the lake and at first he would beg to go back into the cottage after just a few short stick chasings.  After a few visits, and with his growing energy level, Fin has learned to love running around the cottage property and playing games with his new brother Hutch.

 


Fin is great in the car - jumps in and makes himself cozy then falls asleep.  He also is very polite and waits patiently for permission to get out of the car when we arrive at our destination ... even if the hatch is open and Hutch (bad dog) jumps out.
 
At 60 pounds we didn't think we were getting a lapdog ... but it turns out Fin is a BIG snuggler and he will worm his way onto your lap for cuddles and hugs.
 
Thank you for helping us find such a great dog!
