From the Humane Association of Wilson County, at one year of age, April 25 2008. Adoption fee was $75 and one trip to petsmart for basic needs (kennel, grooming equip., food, toys etc...) was $150. On Saturday, April 26th, I took him to the vet (because of constant whining) and turns out he had Giardia, kennel cough and an ear infection. Medication for all that, the exam, and Heartguard and Frontline for 6 months was $310! So, as you can imagine, Pat, who didn't really want a dog in the first place, was not very happy with me :( But, we've moved passed that and now he secretly loves the dog...he just shows it in a different way.
Anyway, his name at the humane association was Mulder and was changed to Finnegan two weeks later, which is an Irish name meaning: "fair", "light skinned", or "little white haired one"...even though border collies originated along the border between England and Scotland and he's not completely white...he also has large and small black spots.
Our biggest issues with him so far are whining and mouthing. Both getting better but not as good as I'd like. We start obedience class May 28th so maybe they can help me.
Heartworm and Frontline every 20th of the month.
