While I was visiting my parents in Florida,

Emmet, Finn, and Riley

Finney vacationed at littermates Emmett's and distant cuz Riley's house where he was on the receiving end of incredible hospitality from Allison and Ted.

Finn got there just in time for a major storm

If dogs can have God parents, Allison and Ted are surely Finney's, even down to the part about if anything was to happen to me and I could no longer care for him, they would take him into their home in a heartbeat. If it wasn't for Allison and Ted, Finney wouldn't even be our dog. They bought him for us last summer on barter for training.

Best barter ever no?

Littermate Keyna came over for a birthday party, complete with goodie bags and doggie cake.
Riley, Keyna, Finnegan, and Emmet

Looks like he had himself a nice vacation doesn't it?

Charlee was at my sister's house with her golden cousins Belmont and Tess. They got two off leash runs in a huge field every day and many trips in the car. Linda reported that Charlee was the first on the bed at night and the last off in the morning. She also reported that Charlee had lightning fast recalls and was a perfect house guest...until her last day. Linda claims Charlee knew she was leaving and waited until the very last day to take off in the field to lick a barbeque grill clean at a church parking lot, and stole half a loaf of bread off the counter. That's my girl!

And for those of you wondering what happened to Brewster, he went home and is back and doing really well, and very very hungry. Go figure!

A huge thank you to Allison (and of course Ted) for taking such great care of Finn and for these wonderful pictures.
