Day 34 (Friday - WTS DOG PST):
Last night I set 3 alarms on my watch to wake up at 3am to let Finster out, I slept through all 3 of them. At 4am I woke up to the Finster alarm (him barking). I went downstairs and sure enough, he had pooped and peed in his crate, wtc. Thursday night I fed him his food/water at 7pm and didn't let him drink any more after that. I took him poop/pee at 11pm before I went to bed. How did he manage more pooh/pee only 5 hours later! This dog is magical. So, I cleaned his crate out and put him back in. At 7am he was barking again and I feared the worst, but luckily he just wanted out. My watch alarm goes off at 6:51am to wake up for the day. I usually snooze it a few times. I think Finster hears the alarm and starts barking. I think he heard the alarms I set for myself around 3. On the ride into work Finster started laying down on the command "Down". He seems to only do it when we are in the car though. I'll try again tonight when we get home. Nope, no dice. He doesn't lay down when at home/outside the car. After work Erica and I went straight home for my Grandma's wedding rehersal. After the rehersal we went back to my sister's house and let Finster play with his aunt Cocoa (Chocolate Lab). At first my brother in-law just held Cocoa while Finster jumped around her and barked. Then the let Cocoa go and play with Finster. Cocoa is probably 80lbs. to Finster's 27lbs. They played really well together. A few times Cocoa got excited and jumped on Finster but most of the time Cocoa was on her back just letting Finster bite at her. It was so cute! I loved watching them go at it. Needless to say Finster slept well that night :).
