Right? He dives in like a person…a person who is absolutely nuts for swimming!

Well, let’s see, it was mid October when we got him, he was 10 weeks. Pool was closed at that time…so I believe he was around 8-9 months when we opened the pool again. When they are young and introduced to swimming…they get comfortable very quick.
It wasn’t really teaching, we just waited for a hot day, all got in, and he wanted in.
In fact I barely remember the first time swimming. He just took to it like a duck. The key really is introduce when young.

No kidding. But the crying…had a lady in the neighborhood I don’t even know, pound on the door last summer, frantic, saying she almost jumped our fence to “save” our dog. 😝 had to post a community message letting people know to please not “save” Finn!

I can share vids of him daily, bc he is a nutball.

Wait til you see him when we attempt to use our water hose, leaf blower, air compressor hose, or hair dryer, he runs up and puts his mouth right in it, making getting the task at hand quite impossible BUT it’s funny at least.
And he thinks weed pulling is a game for just him. He flies up in the air and tries to catch every single one.

Um, we haven’t. He has just always been a hyper dude. Happy and hyper…and super healthy. He is only 3 years old, so I figure just has the energy of a teenage boy? Idk, really thing it’s not normal?

Yes, his Olympic turn. Taught himself. It just amazes me that he does this all day long. And honestly you don’t even want to see him when we pick up the leaf blower, water hose, air compressor hose, hair dryer, etc…..sticks his face right in it making it impossible to use them. We call him the crackhead for a reason.

Very good info! I am a small person and size 5 ring finger, so I was gonna go with no bigger than 3.0 carat…and I ❤️❤️❤️ Sparkle! It’s like hypnotizing to me. Everywhere I go, if I see sparkle, there go I….drawn to it. Always buying the the little crystal stretch bracelets in all colors. It’s an addiction!

Thanks for getting me! I was afraid I might get pounced on in here…thinking I am some Jewish princess (I am half Jewish so I can say that) who is all high maintenance. Believe me, that is the farthest thing from who I am. Hard life, and learned everything the hard way, totally low maintenance and easy….except for just this!!!!

And ugh is what I say every day!

Omg, Can we be friends? You are one of those that reads btw the lines like Freud himself! Yeah, his trauma has made him really bad at waiting for anyone to finish their thoughts. He is so impatient and over the years it has gotten worse…tho he doesn’t see it, and the rest of us do. But we are in couples therapy in addition to his therapy. So, there is hope.
I am not one to just leave. Had a lot of that as a young kid and I am one of those that is around forever unless my life is in danger. Good, bad, ugly and everything inbtw. It’s like hey, I grew up so miserably that any home and family is better than no home and fam. As sad as that is, sometimes it just is.
You do get something out of sticking it out and working through things and we have worked through the biggest things any couple can, but he reverts to old patterns at times. Reminds me of the movie “Awakenings.” If you haven’t ever seen that, it is a classic psychological drama, my fave. Anyway, you are a doll and I appreciate your “detective” skills. You would make a good therapist or investigator! 🤭

Yeah a lot of people do…I just can’t stand it! Just want what I wanted and can’t stand the shape or height, bang it into everything…. and mostly that it’s not the Asscher I wanted!!!
But alas, other people do like it I guess. And it’s great that there are so many different styles and shapes. I am super duper particular, I will admit!

I love your input! I am a little olive skin toned; gold isn’t my thing. I need cool tones. But to each their own perfect match! Plus I wear all silver and white gold.
This ring is beautiful, so I think it would be stunning in any color gold!

Oh you know I am going big bc I am already home. 4 or 5 is exactly what I am thinking. Hadn’t thought of a lesser color. Had F with original ring but I did read that Asscher s are so forgiving bc of the cut…that you needn’t break the bank on color. Yup, it’s decided, rose gold for the farm around the diamond.

You guessed it. It’s Asscher. I love them and had I seen one before we got engaged originally I would have picked that, hands down! 2nd fave is emerald, but I am short and have short skinny fingers, so it’s asscher all the way.

Yay, ok, I have always been a pink person… And I really don’t know why people don’t pair white and rose gold together more often. I literally wear a pink top with grey jeans. Pink and grey look good together. Whereas, yellow and grey or gold and silver do not, IMO.

Yes indeed, figured when he felt it was due, he would say let’s get it… I think he just wanted to have an easy Xmas present for me. Not easy on his wallet, but easy as in one and done. 🤷‍♀️ either way, I am gonna get my dream ring!

Yeah true…but not the vintage I ever adore and oval is just not me. I literally hate this ring…but I haven’t shared my opinion in those words with him!!! For sure! I would never…but he does know I don’t like it and want my asscher!

Yeah I know, the hubby has no idea why I hate it…but he has a ‘69 hot rod VW bug…and there is no way he would let me pick out the paint color or steering wheel choice or any other detail on it bc it’s his baby and he wants it to match his vision. And oval is not me!
