2018.12.09 -- FINLAY'S BIG WEEKEND

We were in the Mercer Candy Cane Parade again.  Kelly brought Finlay along...

She was a big hit.  I don't know how many times we heard, "Oh!  Look at the puppy!"

This is the float that was in front of us...

It was titled "Santa's Workshop".  It's Santa sitting in an outhouse.

Today, we went out for a hike on the ski trails...

The trails are just getting set up, so we snowshoed.  We did 3.3 miles.  Finlay did about 2.  After the first mile, Kelly carried her off-and-on. She was wiped out when we got home...

2018.11.25 -- INTRODUCING FINLAY

We got a new puppy!  We got her from Finlayson, MN, so we named her Finlay, pronouced "Finley"...

She's silvery-brown.  The breeder says she'll turn more chocolate as she gets older but should keep her blue eyes...

She's a mix of English and American Labradors, so she'll have a blockier face and stockier body than Kody.  Speaking of which, Kody has been quite the tolerant big brother...

Sometimes we think she's part cat.  Or maybe pirate parrot...
