Yes, more dog stuff

Yeah, I finally figured out what kind of dog Finn is! It has been driving me nuts because we knew she really didn't have a whole lot of Australian Shepherd in her unfortunately. She is too small, she has a tail, her coloring is wrong, and she has perky ears. Turns out she is an Australian Kelpie- well, at least she is still an Aussie :) They are herding dogs like shepherds. Sloane really doesn't like this part of Finn. She is pretty sure Finn is going to eat her up. I have to rescue her from the middle of the room often because she is screaming bloody murder because Finn is nipping at her feet. She doesn't do it enough to hurt but it is slightly unnerving. Apparently dogs like her need 'jobs' in the family in order to be less destructive and it will help her from 'herding' the kids so much. Not just physical work, but something like bringing in the paper every morning or waking the kids up...Well, she isn't allowed upstairs for now- that is the kids 'safe' zone so they can play with their toys without them getting chewed up. Maybe we will have her bring us the remote control for the tv...she REALLY does like that remote! LOL! Does anyone have suggestions for dog jobs???
We got to do something fun the other day- we stopped at a neighbors house and let Finn play with their dog that is a similar size. They wrestled for about an HOUR! They didn't ever end up fighting. It was pretty cool.
