Finn and I went to the dog park for the first time in awhile. We went a few times over the winter, but it's not very well cared for over the winter months, so we avoided it mostly. It was muddy as all heck today, but Finn had a blast. A bunch of his regular buds were there. :) I also got to...

Since I figured today might be the last big wet-snowfall we get, I took advantage of it and made a snowman! However, since I have minimal time in the morning before starting work... Mr. Snowman was pretty darn pathetic. Hard to see, but he had a big bulbous nose and sad dimple-eyes. Poor sod...

We had a fresh batch of wet snow last night, which meant Chuckit snowballs. Finn was happy, and I took pics. I looks dignified, you throws snow. Epic whooshy fur. Flying feathers! That's all!

... well, he was on Tuesday. I'm two days late! He's almost full-grown, I'm sure. He'll be doing a lot of filling out in the next 8-10 months I bet, but height-wise I don't think he'll be getting a whole lot bigger. Still, it almost makes me notice his behavioural changes even more... and...
