As happens towards the end of every vacation, Hinckley's mood has been low this morning. After four days of rest, relaxation, and sight-seeing, he woke up this morning and thought: "I have to go back home tomorrow and the stress of everyday life will return. All of those chewing projects I haven't thought about for four days are now behind schedule and I'm going to have to work extra-hard to catch up. And as for those characters that I was so happy to get a break from--the gate, those stubborn blocks under the kitchen table, the door to the pantry--now I'm going to have to say hi to them and act as if I like them whenever I want to go into the kitchen and get some water." Sorry, Hinck, c'est la vie.
His stay here has continued to go well. The main way he has impressed me is how well he accepts the crate. I have been leaving him in there for 2-3 hours at a time when I need to go to class and he's asleep whenever I come back. Yesterday, there were gardeners working on the other side of the window from his crate for two of the hours that he was in it and they said they didn't hear a peep! That was my main concern about having him here, and he's obviously lived up to the task!
In lieu of writing more, I'm copying my most recent twitter posts (all about Hinck) in case you don't follow me there. There are some cute pictures of the lad, as well as a video of his relationship with my doggie door. Enjoy!

Yay! SO glad that Hinck is behaving and having a good time in Berkeley. I am about to experience the longest day of my life - literally. I step on a plane at 2:10pm Wednesday and arrive at 8:30am, Wednesday. Can't wait to see you guys when I get home!
