Can you guess the animal’s person?
This is Finn. Finn is a gentle 12-year old Australian Labradoodle. In honor of a counter cruising incident as a puppy, he receives a waffle each year on his birthday. Other favorite snacks include apples, pears, and almond butter. These may or may not come from counters. His favorite hobbies are fetch, snacking, napping, and playing with his favorite toy: a stuffed hedgehog. He is also fond of long walks on the beach, making the Oregon coast his favorite place to go.
Answers can be shared with colleagues and guessed among the office. Last week’s pup, Dinah, is the proud friend of Anne-Marie Deitering.
Can you guess where these things took place/are?
