Finley is home and is fitting into the pack nicely. He is stocky; Jami was tall and lean. He is a totally different color. However, he ,like Jami, is loving, kind, responsive, and has the same depth of spirit in his eyes. So much so, I have been brought to tears many times since Finley came.
As all the wise have reminded, each dog, as each human, is a unique gift. Sort of like Christmas, we get the joy of opening a present never sure if it just what we want and then we remember who made it for us and gave it to us.
Finley will not replace Jamison. That is not his job anyway. He will be the best Finley he can be and I will be blessed with holding his leash.
Thanks to all who gave encouragement and reminders of things I should have already known.
