How we met

Previous name & life
Finn (his product name, personal names unknown)
Made in China, approx. 2020–2024, and sold by Smyths Toys. Last known in Ireland, where he came to me in good condition with only his tags cut
Why I chose him
He reminded me of a dog my best friend had as a kid, and I missed them
Cute, super cheap, no shipping costs
First impressions
Cute, light, will fit in well with the other huskies
Unique colours compared to the other huskies in my collection
Our first day
The unfortunate washing machine treatment and the blow dryer
Eat breakfast and have tea together
The deal
No shipping cost

Memories

Favourite feature
His two-colour fur, white to black
The airbrushing on his muzzle
Anything else
My first husky plush was a gift from my grandfather, once his own. Huskies remind me of him, of the sled races he took me to, and of home in Canada. I hope we travel out together during the winter
Why I love you, Glacier
Lil chubby guy. You remind me of a dog I once knew
♡ the keeper
