Hollywood Pooch

Bear had his first Hollywood moment months ago when he met Sly Stallone on a walk. He was on his morning run (with his madre) Rocky stopped and commented on how cute he was. Too bad he doesn't have any new movies coming out, but if I hear Rocky IX is in production you better believe I am submitting Finn's head shot to someone.

His second big screen moment came more recently.
We decided one night to take a long walk into Westwood village and bring Finn along. We didn't realize there was a premiere, all that we wanted was some Mr. Noodle.

As we neared Mr. Noodle we realized there was a lot more foot traffic then there normally is, but the real giveaway was the massive red carpet, closed down road and paparazzi.




After ordering we sat outside, trying to catch a view of some stars . Unfortunately we were a bit early, so there were no star sightings, but one of the photographers did snap a picture of Finnegan. If you see pictures from the premiere of Gone Baby Gone, and there is one of a really cute golden retriever, you know who it is.

UCLA

Finn met a bear last night. Not a real one, luckily, it was the Bruin Bear statue on UCLA's campus. We stopped off at CPK in Westwood first then parked and took Finn out for a picnic on one of the quads. We brought his food and a toy so he wouldn't feel left out and sat eating well he sniffed around, testing the limits of his leash. After dinner we took him on his nightly walk, this time around the campus. It was harder than his normal walks thanks to all the hills. He seems to have this socialization thing down pretty well, though he did attempt to go meet a few people he generally was distracted by all the great things to see. Before leaving we stopped in front of Moore hall so Julia and Finn could take a picture in front of her dad's building.

That's Finn jumping on me during our picnic.

Bruin the bear, Finn wasn't afraid in the least.
