Writing-- reverse order
Most of my completed chapters are on the first page. Without thinking, I posted my stuff basically in reverse order, so it has to be read that way. Eventually I'll get to the end here, it will just take time.

Why we love dogs
Unconditional acceptance: Hitler's dog loved him regardless
Loyalty, will come to us when we need them, Finn
Kids at the Lodge, etc.
April Rain-- will love those that don't deserve it.

Chapter 20
Life without Finn
Cinn gets spoiled
Returns to Paul, tries to bite him, we have to take her to Paula
Paula removes some cancerous growths, is really great
Cinn starts to adopt some of Finn's mannerisms, smiling, etc..
Moving on takes time

Chapter 19
Finn really starts feelling under the weather on about January 20, we miss Nicola Family Therapy dinner, go to Paul
Paul can't find problem, but acknowledges there is one
Finn gets worse over the weekend, I start writing
He falls down stairs, walks in endless circles until collapse, does not know who we are, won't eat
By Monday, we know we have to have him put to sleep
Paul comes to house, I keep thinking to postpone, but can't watch him starve to death or die of dehydration
Strangely Cinn does not raise a fuss when Paul is here
Tracie goes to Brayden's naming ceremony, but I stay home the next weekend to take Finn to be cremated
Kids at school are great when I'm grieving. Megan Rabitt.
Cinn and Shake sleep together that week, but never again

Chapter 18
Wake up early on birthday, walk down to the mail box, Finn starting to really show age
Have to carry Finn home on walk when he pulls up lame, run Cinn home, go back, get him, walk him in. Seems to be the cold on his paws, but stop going on longer walks
Still loves to sit with me when I play games, etc..

Chapter 17
Get married
Dogs are good at wedding
Shorter honeymoon
We decide we need new house
Move in on Boyd
First day Finn and Cinn break out of dog pen, Finn lays on deck, Cinn takes off to play on street (which is quiet)
We explore the neighbourhood
Finn's bladder starts getting weaker, pees on floor
