Finlay

I would like to introduce you to our newest family member...

 

 

Finlay Alwishes Noble

 

It's been eight months since I had to say goodbye to my Lucy.

Eight months.

It feels like three and I still miss her like crazy.

And then all of a sudden Daisy was gone.

If you've been stopping by here long enough then you might know eleven years ago Lucy came with me into this marriage of mine to the Farmboy.

And you'll also know that nine years ago Daisy came into our family with the intention that she would be the Farmboy's little sidekick.

 

It's been over fifteen plus years since I have been without a dog by my side.

That said, I had no intention of finding a new fur baby just yet.

I just didn't think it was time.

Well, it turns out The Universe had other plans.

 

 

I have wanted an Irish Wolfhound for more years than I can remember.

I said one day I would have one.

The Farmboy, however, did not want a dog the size of a horse.

I also really wanted a rescue dog.

It's very rare to find an Irish Wolfhound rescue.  There just aren't very many of them.

And then the stars aligned and Finlay fell into our laps from out of nowhere.

He is the perfect compromise for us- an Irish Wolfhound mix,

{mixed with what, I'm not sure of yet}

but he looks like a full blooded Wolfhound other than his size,

which is smaller than a year and a half Wolfhound should be.

He is also as gentle and loving as a full Irish Wolfhound.

He is so handsome and sweet and smart.

 

 

I'm still grieving for the loss of Daisy.

I had a good thirty minute sob just yesterday afternoon,

but Finlay helps a little with that.

Time and Finlay.

Just what the doctor ordered, evidently.

 

Thank you, everyone, for all of your kind comments, emails and messages for both the loss of Daisy and my mancub's twenty-first birthday.

My love to you all!
