Hi Bill,
Just writiing for a bit of a weekend update. Phinny is doing well--his first night at home was a bit rough, but we're trying to get him more used to the crate. Not a single accident--so, that's great. He's been very good about telling us when he wants to go outside.
We took him to the vet yesterday, where Phinny got a clean bill of health. The doctor was a bit concerned that he had his first shot so long ago, so now we're going to be doing his third shot closer than normal to his second. We had him dewormed again, just for safe measure. Also--no ear mites for this little guy--his left ear was pretty dirty though, so they taught us how to clean it out. Our only concern right now is getting Phinny over his separation anxiety--he's never had to be left alone before, so it might take some getting used to. So, that's it for now!
Thank you for all your help!
