I started massaging his muscles, and he loved it. He stretches out his arm and leg to really let me get in there. At one point I got interrupted, but he followed me around until I sat down with him again and continued massaging. He also loves my homemade frosty paws (see pic). It's frozen real yogurt, honey and banana. He was so excited he didn't know what to do. Finally, he figured out what my Gracie has already learned: hook your teeth on the edge while your tongue just licks over and over and over until it's gone.
Otherwise, he's doing very well. We had one more instance of him growling at Chris. But I determined that Finn is more of a "I'll come get affection from you when I'm ready" kind of guy, at least in a new situation. It doesn't take long--he was my shadow by the next morning. But Chris, as his secondary caretaker, had not yet fed or walked him. Chris tried to lay down right next to him, which is how Finn growled both times. So if there is a second caretaker in the family, make sure you both take turns early on. And then let him seek you out for affection. I promise, it doesn't take long and he LOVES affection.
Did I mention that he is a really cool color? It's hard to see in the pictures I have right now. But he's dark brindle with this really deep caramel color. People on the street just love him!
