Meet My Dog, Finnegan the Toy Aussie 🐶

🐾 Finnegan River, Finn for short

🎂 He was born on May 5, 2023 & I brought him home on July 7, 2023

🐶 He is a Blue Merle Toy Australian Shepherd

This 17 pound fluff ball has changed my entire life. I did A LOT of research before I got him, and I knew the breed was energetic and needed a lot of attention, but WOW I had no clue just how difficult this journey would be 😅 From 4-9 months old, I was literally on the verge of a mental breakdown every single day. He was up all night barking for about 2 months straight, he chewed a giant hole into my living room floor, he has destroyed countless pairs of shoes including my only pair of Crocs & limited edition Vans, he bit and attacked my hands, face, and arms every single day and one time he ripped my nose ring out while I was sleeping & I was covered in blood 🥲About 3 months ago, he developed a super loud & extremely high-pitched bark that makes your ears ring every time he does it, and he barks every single time he doesn’t have my full attention 😅 He just recently ate something mysterious at my parents house and that cost me a $500 vet visit 🫠

I do puzzles, sniffle mats, and training exercises with him every single day, as well as at least 2 walks a day and I take him everywhere with me that I possibly can. With all of that being said, I genuinely could not imagine my life without him in it. I love watching him grow & am always amazed at how smart he is. He makes me laugh like crazy and cry on occasion but I don’t want a life without my FinnFinn 🥹
