Thanks Ned! It was a very good day!

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 1d

The best dogs are named Finley 😊

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 1d

Well normally there’s a “Finley fence” around the sides but the human took it down now that the garden is pretty much done. She says soon we’ll have to cover it for winter.

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 1d

I approve of your placement Boo! On top of the humans is best

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 2d

Doing my garden checks. There’s lots of tomatoes 🍅 but they don’t smell ready yet. The human says now that it’s colder they probably will stay green 😞

LET SYVIE GO TO THE PARKS!

What would she do? She’d get all her sniffies out early and inspect the place. Then when her frens arrived she would be ready for maximum playtime!

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

You act like I had a choice in sharing… the human had the pan and the knife

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

The human did her best! It’s pumpkin spice in honor of fall and me being a spicy boy! And then purple icing because it’s my color - the coloring made it a bit too liquidy, but luckily, we’re more concerned with flavor than looks

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

The human says he has to!

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

Apparently I should share with Rory because he shared with me 😒

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

The humans says I “have potential” I just have to keep trying

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

But was more than happy to eat once I realized what it was!!

(No, I did not eat all of that! The human had already cut off slices for Rory and I and then let me have a small nibble before packaging up the rest)

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

And then when we got home (and the human cleaned up) it was time for BIRTHDAY CAKE! 🎂

I was a bit unsure about the whole situation and especially the part with fire…

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 3d

While we were out I got special birthday treats and then got this great cupcake chew toy! 🧁
The human says it’s supposed to be tough so I can’t destroy it, which sounds like a challenge if you ask me!

I turned 2 years old yesterday! We had a great day with hiking, cake, and celebrating me! 🎉
🧵
#DogsOfBlueSky #Birthday

Finley, a light brown dog with dark brown markings or reddish nose and hazel eyes lays on a gray fuzzy rug looking at the camera. He is wearing a teal bandanna that reads. It’s my birthday and a small birthday style hat. There is a sign with information behind it that is rather fuzzy (but clearer in the next photo)

Finley, a light brown dog with darker brown markings or reddish nose and hazel eyes lays on a rug looking at the camera. There is a sign in front of him, indicating that it is his second birthday and has other basic demographic information. From top to bottom it reads:
My second birthday
I am Finley.
I weigh 47 pounds.
I love cuddles, running, & everyone!
Dislikes being told no & sitting still
Favorite toys : Rory and whatever Rory has and squeaky toys
Things I’ve destroyed: so many stuffed/squeaky toys & blankets and pillow cases

Thanks Jax! We went on a hike

RORY @rorythereddog.bsky.social · 4d

Hello frens! Today is @goodboyfinley.bsky.social birthday! I'll let him tell you about that later, but to celebrate the human took the day off and we went hiking all day! 🧵

Very cute couple!

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 6d

I have! Although sometimes Rory and I end up going head-to-head.
I think we will take a break for a while though. We gotta give the other dogs a chance too

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 6d

Rory won money to the pet store! And more impawtently he promised to share the winnings with me 😊

RORY @rorythereddog.bsky.social · 6d

I WAS VOTED “PET OF THE MONTH” AT OUR LOCAL PET STORE!
We have entered the photo contest many times and I have come in second a lot, but it was finally my turn to win! 🏆
I won $100 gift card to the store (I even promise to share & get Finley something for his birthday)
#DogsOfBlueSky #Winner

Rory, a medium size, red and white dog with light blue eyes stands in a field of sunflowers looking at the camera with a contented smile. He is wearing a white bandanna with a wildflower pattern on it. There is a caption at the bottom of the photo that reads: Benson‘s pet Center. September 2025 pet of the month. Rory.

A screenshot of a Instagram caption from the winning announcement: Congrats to Rory for winning our Pet of the Month contest for September!
He won a $100 Benson's Gift Card so that his humans can stock up on his favorite Plato dog treats.
Rory is smart, sweet, and wonderfully easy-going. This angel is up for any adventure and happy to tag along wherever life leads. He is bouncing back from a CCL tear and TPLO surgery last Christmas. Rory is back to doing all his favorite activities — and he's now a certified therapy dog! His calm spirit and loving heart make him truly one of a kind.
With the $100 gift card Rory won, he is going to stock up on his favorite treats from Oma's Pride, and his favorite toys are from Zippy Paws.

Thanks!

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 6d

Do you need an extra dog to come and cuddle during your recovery? I’ve very good at cuddling and giving kisses 😘

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 7d

Speak for yourself! I would love to see that; and participate in the pulling

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 7d

I was having a lovely roll in the grass! 🤪

Finley @goodboyfinley.bsky.social · 7d

Sometimes she calls me a sour-patch kid. She says first I’m sour and then I’m sweet
