Day 38 - (Tuesday - work):
Woot, I finally got some pictures up. Look down further, I started putting them in with the previous posts but that got to time consuming so I'm just going to lazily throw them in when I get around to it. Nothing really to report this morning, Finster made it all the way through the night with no potty issues. I actually think his dripping problem might be clearing up. He doesn't seem to have as much of a mess in his crate in the morning, or after he is sleeping. Perhaps it is the water diet that he is on. He generally acts like he is starving for water though; diving into mud puddles, licking up every puddle of melted snow in the basement, grabbing mouthfuls of snow while outside, etc. He seems to be fattening up too, his ribs are now barely visible; I have him eating about 4 1/2 cups of food, plus a few treats and an occational bone. This is up from the 1 3/4 cups of food recommended by Purina One bag, nice work stupid bag.
The morning and lunch walk were fantastic. He barely pulled at all, if anything I pulled him most of the time because he stopped to pee. The afternoon walk sucked however. He kept pulling to the side to get to the snow. This water diet sucks for him I think, he has resorted to eating as much snow as possible. He is impossible to stop from eating snow!
In the evening Finster had another accident. I think this ones on me though, I think he went to the door but I wasn't paying attention; I was messing with some wedding photos that I took. On the positive side FINSTER LEARNED "LAY DOWN" FINALLY!!! Woot, he now lays on command! He pretty much only does it on his carpet remnant, the cement is too hard and cold for that baby; but he does lay every time now. I'm such a proud papa. What to teach him next, any recommendations?
