Big BIG News....

Well-It is official. Phinny and I are heading back to Fairbanks, AK. So the boy is going to have to work on his thick coat. But he thinks he's ready. And mom is going to have to send my thick coat before too long.

9 weeks

Hello all-Well Phin has had company for a few days, my friend Adam's dog came to visit while Adm was in the field. Phinney is totally enamored with her, she would prefer he leave her alone. Although Ebony has protected Phin against the slightly aggressive neighbor dogs. She wouldn't even let them look at Phin. Although it's a good thing I have big bed, or these two would have me sleeping on the floor.

Phin also had his first vet trip...very exciting.

We're doing good though, no accidents or anything....he is very taken with my leather sandles, of course these have already been chewed by Sophie, so he can't do too much more damage :)

Lazy Sunday

Well we seem to have gotten much more comfortable today. Phin loves his blue bed, takes his toys there and uses it as a base of operations.

Settling In

So everyone, the nerves are starting to pass and we've been playing with toys and took a little walk...AND pottied outside. Life is good.

Phin also really loves the blue bed. He's taken to getting in on his own now.

We are both very happy.

Phinny is HOME!!!

Well, we're home! It was a very exciting day. Phinny made it all the way to Arches before puking on Patricia. That's my boy!

Phin was very scared and wouldn't go potty all the way home. When we got home I walked him around for awhile and when we came inside he decided he had to go.

We've explored the house, Phin likes the bed. He was particularily fond of the monkey he found in the bed. Phin is still pretty nervous, but we've only been home an hour and a half right now.

And from one of the pictures you can tell that he has calmed down a bit and is taking a nap next to me while I get this post ready. I have to say he is definately a sprawling sleeper :)

I am so happy to have him home. He is just the sweetest. The self portrait was a bit difficult to take but it will do for the folks to see us both.

I'm ready

Well I think everything is ready. I'm only missing one little bundle of fluff....

Cowboy Poodle

Well I got some new pictures of Phinny's dad. Now that is a cowboy poodle (with his dad Lee).

Phinny at 7 weeks

This is Leslie holding the taken siblings, besides her Justa who isn't in the picture. Guess who looks like one of the bigger boys! Making sure he's front and center is my little Phin. although by the size of that paw and the size of the snout he isn't going to be small for long. (In case you don't know by now, Phinney is the second from the left with the silver nose... that's my boy.

Bummer today though, I found out I am going out to the field and will have to put off getting Phin for an extra week. I could commute to the project but it would make for really LONG days for the little man and that isn't fair...so barring unforseen problems I'll be getting him at 9 weeks. So two more weeks of anticipation...I can hardly stand it.
