Day 45 - Tuesday (Back to work):
Last night I went to bed early, around 10:45 so I could grab an 8 hour night for the first time since I got the dog. He didn't wake me up at all until it was time to get up at 645. I woke up to his barking and went down to let him out. The barking was a result of him peeing all over his crate, argg. He tried I guess. It's so weird, about 3 weeks ago he made it through the night for a week or 2 with no problems. Now he either wakes me up at 4 to go out, or pees in his crate, what gives? I have his crate wide open again, maybe I should shorten it again. I think part of the problem is that he is still dripping so he probably smells urine and doesn't mind peeing in his crate. Although, he seems to mind because he barks his head off after he does it. After the clean up the morning was fine. He actually was good when I put him on his runner for breakfast/shower. He just laid down on his rug and napped.
Finster's lunch walk was phenomenal. He has got the loose leash walking down. He only pulled once the whole time when he saw someone walking towards him. The rest of the time he was right by my side! So cool. He still goes nuts when people give him attention. He would jump all over them if I'd let him. That's one annoying habit that needs to be addressed asap. I need to get to that before he becomes 100lbs :)
