Fetch!

This morning Hinckley finally got interested in his tennis ball, and I think he's starting to catch on to the basics of fetch! This is big time. Up until now, its been all "chew Mr. frog, not me" - now we can actually play with one another. Hooray!

He's gotten pretty good about going outside - no accidents at all yesterday - but it remains to be seen what will happen when the confusion of me not being here to let him out arrives next week. It's kind of giving me a knot in my stomach.

Another issue is that he keeps yapping during the night. He calms down if I go in there and sit next to him until he falls asleep...but its not very sustainable for me. I'm trying to ignore his howls as best I can but still am worried about my neighbors getting upset...no one really likes howls at 3am. I'm going to read more about it today and see if I can strategize for tonight.
