Merry Christmas Sandra, Allison and Newf friends Rescue:
Finn
is now six and half. He has gone from a happy, clumsy, young dog; when
we took him home over four and half years ago to a happy mature
gentlemen, who still has moments of pure silliness. We continue to
travel east with Shannon and Finn each year. They have become old hats
at meeting tourists along the way. We stop in Quebec and Saint Andrews
by the Sea in New Brunswick before landing at our destination in
Lunenburg Nova Scotia. They have learned to sit for photos for
travellers from all over the world who all say what well behaved and
beautiful dogs they are. One heartwarming story was from a young girl
in her wheelchair. Her parents asked if they could have a photo taken
with them. I said I would be happy to take the photo so all they family
could be taken together. Just as I snapped the shot Shannon leaned up
and gave her a gentle kiss and Finn put his head on her lap. The mother
cried and so did I. Other times they are just silly. When we had
their photo taken at the Easter Fund Raising in Pickering Finn thought
the giant Easter Bunny was one big fluffy toy. We took them to Pet
Store for a Christmas photo, Finn thought himself a rock star and wanted
to be photographed with all the toys on hand.
We
continue to walk to the beach each day. Finn runs into the water
regardless of the weather and Shannon wades until he comes back on
shore. Then they run along together. Shannon s Wobblers seems to
be progressing slowly and she is responding well to medication., Finn
seems to know she can no longer engage in wrestling matches and when she
tries to tease him into one he lays down and just moves his head around
her. What a boy!!!
I have attached a few Christmas picks. Thank you for allowing John and I to adopt Finn.
Colleen, John, Finn and Shannon
