Finally a chance to run! And mom brought the camera too! Yippee

A Fine Day

The weather was nice enough today to take the boys for a nice walk in the woods. We went down to Job Corps for a romp. It was beautiful. The boys were thrilled to get out in the fresh air, to sniff, to pee, to explore. Bailey jumped aroiud like a bunny. Bodhi haf his nose to the ground like he was on the trail of something. Every time he stuck his nose in a bush or patch of grass, thought he was going to come out of it with a dead animal. Finn behaved nicely off leash- came when I called (following his brothers, I think). He wore his e-collar for the first time. Mainly cause I forgot to bring a regular collar. It wasn't on, but I thought it was cute to see the three of them running around with their colors. Bailey is red. Bodhi is blue. Finn is green.

We're done with this

We're climbing the walls here in the Quinn household! We need spring. We need to run and walk and train....outside.

Snow, snow go away!

Why do I get so excited?

So Finn lost his first canine tooth today! You'd think he'd won a ribbon or something I was so darn excited. Another one to add to my collection. There's another one about to fall out and I was tempted to push it out. Gave him a handful of ice cubes instead.

Finn meets his first Foe

Took little Finn for a walk today. Just a short one- he needs some practice with walking well on his leash. Along our way, I saw him be nervous about something for the first time. He approached cautiously, then backed away, then approached again dropping into a play bow. But then he wasn't sure....so he backed away again.

There's me- laughing my butt off- His first foe- A fire hydrant! LMAO!

They made friends in the end. ;)

A little Brag

Noreasta's Mighty Quinn makes his conformation debut at the LRCGB Match.:

The boy handled the atmosphere like a pro. His personality is one thing I don't have to worry too much about. Our first time in the ring, we placed 1st in our sweeps class!!!!! Yippee for Finn! It was funny- I was a bit nervous, basically cause I took two classes and don't really know what I'm doing yet. But once I got in there, I concentrated on my boy. On our bond, on whether or not we were having fun. And we did have fun! And our first ribbon was a wonderful bonus! He also placed second in the regular puppy class. Then afterwards, slept like a rock! I guess it's hard work to be so darn good looking. He also got to see his other Granny- Breeder MC. I think she's pretty happy with how he looks. And we got to meet Abby too!

One part that made me feel great- when they moved us to first place, I was pretty concentrated on him, but in the background I could hear all my training buddies give a big cheer for us. It was wonderful.

Pics to come soon- Battery in my camera died today.

Another First for Finn

Finnegan had his first bath at work yesterday! Sadly, I turned out to be too busy to get to see it. But the girls made it positive and fun for him. Besides a really poofy coat, he seems no worse for the wear. It was a long day for the little guy- But we got in tons of socialization- Just what he needs at his age. Finn is weighing in at 35lbs and is growing by leaps and bounds.

My friend Mel helped me get some decent pics of him today after our walk:
