some old pics of Finn

**guster girl** · 10-19-2004, 12:19 AM

Sorry, everyone, still haven't gotten any photos online of Finn. I have some in a Kodak program, but, cannot for the life of me figure out how to even email them, let alone post them in here. Any suggestions?

Even those are outdated now, though! Ha, and, as soon as I figure out how to connect and operate the scanner my friend gave me, I'll get the photos scanned that I took in the last couple months. Ugh, it's getting frustrating.

But, I was looking in photobucket, and, his sweet little face just made me smile. So, thought I'd share a couple of him. These may be repeats, but, oh, well...I'm bored!

Yeah, and, my sweet RB boy, Bruno. This is a digital picture of a laminated photo.

Just got a little nostalgic tonight, lookin' at pics. Miss my boy.

Bruno (1988-2003)

and, I'm missing my Mom, too! She and my dad are in South Carolina. So, here's she and I last Thanksgiving. Can't believe it's been almost a year since I saw them.

and, what they see outside their condo, lucky dogs.

He is so cute! I can't wait to see more pics. I was wondering why you hadn't put any more up here. Your Bruno was pretty. Sort of reminds me a little of Samantha.

So nice to see pics of adorable Finn; it's been so long! I'll bet he's quite the big boy by now

I know for sure, he's one handsome Labbie boy

Thanks for sharing a photo of Bruno with us; such a sweet doggie

Hope you get to see your mom soon! It's tough being far away from family.

Thanks, everyone! Yeah, those pics are several months old. The bottom ones are when we first got him in February. And, the others were all around three or four months old. He'll be ten months old in a few days (on the 24th) and he weighs fifty pounds now. Quite a difference from those early ones.

I may see if one of my pals with a scanner will let me borrow it for a couple hours soon, just to get some of the ones I've taken recently. You guys will flip, he's so handsome!

Yeah, and, Bruno was a sweetheart. I got him when I was thirteen and I put him down last June. It was the hardest thing I've had to do in my life thus far. I regretted it at first, but, I think it was the right thing to do. He was my true love, for sure. He was a little thing, less than 20 pounds. He looked just like a long haired dachshund, but, with longer legs (so, he wasn't disproportionate). He was mixed with a cocker spaniel, and, that's where he got the height from.

And, I do miss my parents terribly. It's getting really bad, though, since it's almost the holiday season. I'm really going to try to get out there, but, I just don't know how, yet. Crossing my fingers! But, my mom's so beautiful, I wanted to share her photo with everyone.

Yeah, he's growin'! I don't think he'll get any taller, but, I'm sure he'll fill out, he's still really lean, no matter how much he eats. It's nuts, I want his metabolism!

Guster Girl....I'm just in LOVE with Finn!!! What a beauty!!! I can't wait to see in all grown up!!

What part of SC are your parents in? I'm @ Myrtle Beach! Small world...

Hope you get to see them soon!!!

Bruno looks like such a sweetheart! I'm sure you miss him terribly.

I'm also pretty head over heels for Finn. He's even easier to love in person!

I'm really hoping to soon scan the pictures I've taken with my 35 mm camera.

My parents live in Columbia, South Carolina, on Lake Murray. I haven't been to Myrtle Beach in so long, I am really aching to go back! I can't even remember what it's like there, to be honest with you. I don't even think I was ten years old the last time I went. Ugh. Luckily, it hasn't been that long since I've been home to Columbia.

Guster, my favorite band, was in Myrtle Beach at the house of blues this year, and, I was really trying to get there. Ah, well, one day!

Bruno was a sweetheart. A heart of pure gold, he was never a problem at all. I'll never be able to say that about Finn, no matter how much i love that crazy boy, he's a nut!

But, yeah, Bruno was my best friend for so many years, it was almost too much for me to decide to put him down. It was probably the most adult decision I've ever had to make 100% on my own. And, Dusty (my RB cat) died a few months later, and, it was just like the death of my childhood. But, it was a good childhood, ya know? Largely due to having those two animals in my life. Miss my boys, though, that's for sure.
