Meet the Product Models: Finn


Meet Finn! Also known by Finley, this young pup isn't yet two years old. He's a purebred American tricolor Corgi. His humans have friends who raise corgis, and they really didn't plan on getting a dog, but when they met the puppies on the day they were born, they couldn't help themselves. Corgis are known for their fun, low-key, relaxed personalities, and Finn is no exception.


Finley is a playful dog who loves to howl   for attention, after he eats (all his littermates do), and when he's satisfied. He's cuddly and adores being around people as much as possible. Finn's not a big barker, and he prefers to stick close to his humans' sides. He just wants you to pet him! He's super friendly and energetic. When Finley meets a new person, he tries to sit under their feet or wiggle himself between their legs so they have to acknowledge (and hopefully pet) him.



Finley was potty trained on the first day and is very smart. He knows how to sit, lay down, and shake. He's been working on rolling over and speaking on command.


Finn gets to go to pig shows and meet other dogs due to his humans' business of selling livestock feed. He really enjoys the atmosphere of pig shows, and since a lot of the humans there know the same breeder, he gets to see his siblings and half-siblings with some regularity! He loves when little kids come up to pet him. He also plays with other Corgis at his humans' friends' home. He gets along well with other animals in general   Finley has a cat friend, and they paw each other back and forth. He's good at pretending he's a cat.



Finley really, really likes to play fetch, and he is known for getting the zoomies. He doesn't chew on things that aren't his, but he might borrow a shoe just to carry it around for a while. Finn has also claimed the only recliner in the house for daytime napping. At night, he sleeps under his humans' bed, which is also where he hides his toys.



As far as pet peeves go, Finley isn't big on hair dryers, leaf blowers, cornhole, carrots, or any dog treat marketed as "healthy"   these things make him want to crawl under the bed or porch and hide.


His perfect day would look like going for a drive, taking a walk, eating a whipped cream treat, playing fetch, and then taking a really long nap. Us too, Finn.


Somebody held a stick behind the camera so he'd look at it.


Thank you to Penny DuSablon for talking to us about Finn.

How Do Insulated Dog Houses Work?

Image
Have you ever wondered how exactly insulation works? Sure, it keeps stuff cooler when it's warm and warmer when it's cold, but why? Read on to find out how exactly the insulation in our dog houses works. Our newest palace design, the Colossal Round Barn. How insulation works To understand insulation, you must first understand heat flow . Heat flow occurs in three main ways: conduction, which is how heat moves through materials (like when you touch a cast iron skillet that's been on the stove for awhile); convection, or the way heat circulates through liquids and gases (like when you're boiling water, and the water on the bottom of the pan closest to the heat source gets warm, so it rises, and is replaced with the cooler water from the top, and the cycle goes on); and radiation, where the source heats anything in its path that absorbs energy (like when you warm your hands over a fire). Graphic from  here Common insulation materials often focus on slowing conductive heat

Meet the ASL Product Models: Norman Enzo Kieffer!

This is the first bio in our series of Meet the ASL Product Models written by our intern Skye Isabella Rose Iwanski. Norman Enzo Kieffer Norm looking thoughtful on a drive. Norm is a gregarious, adorable joker. He’s a border collie/husky mix with a huge personality. Norm is a registered therapy dog with Pet Partners and certified in assisted play therapy. He loves working with people, especially kids. He’s an incredible little fellow with eyes that wrap you up in a big warm hug and an absolutely infectious smile--you can’t look at him and not smile right back. Norm, hard at work! When Norm walks into a room, he immediately wants to make people feel at ease: he seeks people out and nudges their hand until they’re petting him. He’s named after Norm from Cheers, after all. Norm likes to remind people that it’s normal to get around a little differently--he’s missing one of his legs, but that doesn’t hinder his agility at all. He can jump four to four-and-a-half feet in the air and clear a
