Finnegan

This page is dedicated entirely to Finnegan, because we’re a little obsessed with him.

If you didn’t already know, Finnegan is our 180 lb bundle of love newfoundland. We brought Finn home when he was just 10 weeks old and we’ve been in love ever since. We would have loved to have had Finn in our wedding ceremony, but that amount of slobber is apparently frowned upon within the church. Instead, we decided he can have a shout out here.  In case you’re curious, below is a little fact sheet on Finn and some answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive.
