Good to see you posting here, Faron. My sympathies for the loss of your precious Callie. It's heartwrenching to lose a furbaby. So glad you opened your hearts to another one. Your new pup is gorgeous and will keep you both good company in your retirements. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I'm about 6 years post-op on my right shoulder. Still have some pain, but good range of motion.

I'm sorry to hear you had to see one leave, but the newest addition is precious! Finn found himself a good home....he's getting spoiled already! ❤️

He’s beautiful!! Good to see you Faron!

I'm sorry about Callie. My parents had a Samoyed mix (Her name was Chimo) and they are a special kind of dog. Finn looks like he will keep you both very busy. Welcome Finn!

Finn is such a handsome boy! He will keep you on your toes but there's not much better in the world than a puppy. Callie was so lucky to have been part of your family and will live on in your hearts forever. She was loved and spoiled, as any good dog should be.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful Callie, but omg Finn is adorable.

What a beauty - I remember Callie and I'm so sorry for your loss....

Finn is so adorable! I love Collies. :)

So sorry about Callie. I know it hurts.

Hope your shoulder heals well!

He's adorable. His eye markings amazing. I wonder if 'busy' doesn't equal smart. If you can handle the puppy stage two days into shoulder surgery and still like him, I think he's found the right place and is home 😊

Add my condolences.

Finn looks very smart. I know you will have fun training him.

What an extreme cutie! One of my digs always slept with their head hanging off of the bed too.

Sorry for your loss. Having been there myself, I know the healing power a new dog can bring to a heavy heart.

That face! What an adorable puppy! I’m sorry for your loss; many of us pet owners understand it. I think you have a wonderful new love in the family.

I’m so glad to see you posting, Faron! I wish it was more good news than sad, but so happy to see that cutie Finn! Don’t let him pull your shoulder with the leash.

I remember you talking about sweet Callie, and I’m sorry she has left you. But I know there’s room in your heart and life for Finn. Happy Spring!

Love you always Callie!!!!

Callie wasabeautyand Finn is so pretty. A collie was yhe dog of my chikdhood dreams, thanks to Lassie.

Im sure he’ll bring you many years of fun and joy.

Take care of that shoulder. I had my rotator cuff repaired two years ago and its been pretty good since then. It better stay that way!

We have two beautiful rough collies that often walk past our house with their humans. One is a tricolor like Finn and the other is a merle.

That is one adorable dog you’ve got there Faron— being smart is icing on the cake! My condolences for the loss of your Callie, and congratulations for “getting back out there” with another dog. The loss of one so dear is hard, and a new love makes that loss easier to bear.

Puppies make our homes so much happier. Happy for you and your wife.

Not a bunny 🙂

And what a beautiful face Finn has!

So sorry you had to say goodbye to Callie - wishing you peace

I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Callie. Finn is a handsome guy and already looks right at home. Enjoy and take care of that shoulder.

Sorry to hear the unhappy news about the shoulder and Callie, but, my gosh, is Finn a cutie. He looks to be whip smart, too. Condolences and congratulations in equal amounts!

So sorry to hear about sweet Callie. Finn is so handsome! I know he will help your hearts heal. Speedy recovery to you.

So sorry about Callie. It is never enough time.Finn is gorgeous! Jumper says welcome to the Gardenweb pack

I‘m sorry to hear about Callie. I had a Samoyed named Naya. Finn is adorable!

Faron, I have no doubt that your beautiful and wonderful Callie is wagging her tail now that you have brought Finn home. Our pups (all pets actually) never leave our hearts, do they?

Finn is sure to follow in Callie's footprints-he is beautiful, smart, and obviously happy to be home. Congratulations to all of you.

Hope the shoulder heals well and surgeries are a thing of the past.

Great to hear from you Faron but very sad to hear about Callie. Glad you found Finn - what a beautiful, sweet guy. Take it easy on those shoulders!!

I'm so sorry for your loss of Callie! We similarly struggled with so much grief over the loss of our last dog. I still miss her, nine years later. I hope her memories bring you comfort and soothe the pain.

Welcome to Finn and I hope he brings you much joy and love! He is adorable! I love herding dogs and I bet he will be a wonderful dog.

So good to find you here, Faron, AND with your gorgeous new pup.

You must promise to keep us updated with pics as he grows…and beyond. No slinking away to nurse any more surgerirs! ;)

Great to hear from you Faron. Sorry to red about your beautiful Callie and the shoulder surgery (again!), but what a cutie is Finn! I hope this surgery will heal well and that will be the end of your shoulder pain. Do keep posting updates of Finn.

Nice to see you again, Faron. I’m sorry for your loss of sweet Callie, but I know she had the best pup life with you.

Finn is beautiful. Have many wonderful times with him and be mindful of you shoulder. I do hope you get some relief with that., and soon.

I also send condolences for the loss of Callie. It's so hard.

Finn is just gorgeous! No doubt he will bring many years of happiness.

I believe I have just a few months until retirement. Still talking to my boss about an exact date, but it's something like 14 Mondays. It's all I can think about! Cannot wait.

A friend of mine has a golden retriever named Callie. So sorry to hear about yours.

My friend's Callie has the same flexible approach to dog beds as your Finn.
