My, What Big Feet You Have!

Today was a really fun day with baby Finn! He and I have settled into a nice little routine everyday and I am going to miss having him here (even though he wears me out everyday)! We've been waking up at 6:30, getting ready, and then going on a 30-45 minute walk around my neighborhood. I try to get as much energy out of him as I can first thing in the morning. He's used to Lance letting him out every day around 6:30 and staying outside until around 4:30, so this is a huge adjustment for him! We come home after our walk, I take a shower, and get ready, and then he goes out one more time after finishing his breakfast.

My classes are really spread apart and I have about two and a half hours between them which is really good with Finn here. I can come home, eat lunch, and take him for a little play date. Since Monday, we've been going over to Bear Hollow to play in the dog park. He's such a social puppy but for some reason he loves to play in the water bowls and get really really muddy! I learned my lesson from yesterday and brought a towel to dry off his gigantic feet with before letting him get in the car!

After our outing to the dog park, we come home to rest for about 2 hours and then we got on our final long walk of the day. Today we went over to a secluded little neighborhood nearby. There is a pond and only about 5 houses off Barnett, so it's really quiet. As we were walking back around the neighborhood we heard a sound about 15 feet in front of us coming out of some tall bushes that extend from a forest area. It really scared me until I realized that the sound was a deer! She immediately saw us and jumped toward the woods and then I saw another deer standing off in the distance. I grabbed my phone, took a picture, and sent it to Lance. We stood there for a few mintues watching the deer watch us from the edge of the woods until it finally blew out a loud breath and I took that as a warning sign!

I'm so sad that Finn won't be here anymore for us to continue our routine, but before you know it I'll be back in Tifton and I can kidnap him from Lance anytime I want!
