Day 49 - Saturday (Home and working on paper):
Saturday sucked... Finster, naturally, wakes up at the same time as on a weekday so getting up "early" sucks. He is sleeping around 7 hours now before he barks to go out. I'll probably let him get away with it for a little bit longer until I know his bladder can hold it longer. I had 10/15 pages done on my paper, so I sat in the basement with Finster and wrote the whole day. I ended up with 16 pages and I still wasn't done writing everything. At around 430 my sis-in-law came over with her pooch Sparky. The last Finster/Sparky meeting didn't go down so well, so I was hoping this one would. Finster started out a little standoffish and remained that way for most of the night. He occaisonally barked and tried playing with Sparks but Spark was having very little of it. They did run together a bit outside, and they would take treats in the sitting position for as long as my food held out. While I was out getting pizza Sparky made Finster cry like a little baby again, the report was that Finster actually had tears in his eyes :). It will be interesting to see what happens when Finster is 100lbs. My guess is he will still be a baby but we will see. Sparky ended up in the crate and Finster on his runner (he stayed on the opposite side of the room) while we ate dinner/chatted. The rest of the evening was uneventful.
