Aby-a-Day – 10 Augusti 2020: Happy Gotcha Day, Dashiell!

One year ago today, Dashiell arrived in Finland. As you may recall, it was an insane day, and we didn’t actually “get” him until the next day, so I guess we have a two-day Gotcha holiday.

But we were in the same country at the same time, so today counts.

But even once we had him…we still had to get him home.

First by ferry…

…then by train…

…And finally by taxi.

Little did Dash know when they met that Izaak was destined to be his best friend.

There really weren’t any real problems integrating Dash into the family.

…Well, okay…maybe there was a little bit of hissing.

We also introduced Dash to the outside world, including Markis.

Look at him now! He’s still a little skittish, but he’s getting braver every day.

Happy Gotcha Day, Dash!
