Murph, Oz and Gully Pics...
I've finally have some more pics of Gully. The first few days were kind of rough. I kept crying about Maddie. Those that have lost a beloved dog, when you got a new one did you find it somewhat difficult? Everytime I would look at him, it was a reminder that she wasn't there. But luckily we've finally turned the corner. We're really bonding now. He is such a sweetheart and such a character too. He bounces and pounces everywhere he goes and last night he was jumping and hurling himself into the wall and door. Not sure where he learned slam dancing, but he does it quite well. :) Think I should have named him either "Tigger" or "Bam".
Him and Murph aren't exactly playing together yet, but they're co-existing with each other fine now. We've been working on him catching his stuffie. He's starting to get the hang of it, although he's not quite as proficient as Oz was at that age, but he excels in other stuff. He is fearless so far. I had to put the teeter totter up, because he was toodling up that without a care in the world, which is great, but I don't want him accidently falling off if I shouldn't happen to be watching at that moment. He jumped off the bed yesterday, which is a pretty long drop for puppy. Oz jumped off and before I could grab Gully, he followed right behind him. Luckily he wasn't hurt, so now I have to be extra careful when he's on the bed with us.
Housebreaking is coming along really good. He started popping the bells hanging from the doorknob yesterday. I don't think he's got the connection between, ring the bell, then go outside to potty yet. But hopefully the lightbulb will come on for that connection soon.
Here's the pics:

I had to put my 15-year-old dog/best friend, Bruno, down in June. I wasn't ready right away for the responsibility of another dog, so, it wasn't until February that I got Finn. I've never had a puppy before (Bruno was one when I got him), but, for me, it was really difficult at first. The first couple of days with Finn were good, but, after that, for about a week or two, it was hard. I thought about Bruno a lot, and, cried a lot about him. :( But, I've been "around the corner" with Finn for awhile now. I think of Bruno probably every day, but, rarely in a sad way. I don't think that will ever change. He was too much a part of my life. I accidentally called Finn "Bruno" recently. It didn't upset me, and, of course, he didn't even look cuz that's not his name, it actually made me laugh. I had to go give Bruno's urn a hand smooch, though. It's a tradition I have. Kiss my fingers, touch his picture. But, Finn and I have a tremendous bond, now. He just fills a different part of me than Bruno did. :) I think your doggies are all beautiful and I LOVE your signature! That has to be the coolest one I've seen yet! Very neat concept. Did you make it?
