Easter with Fergus

We went back and forth about bringing Fergus with us to celebrate Easter, mostly because we weren't sure how my mom would feel about Fergus spending a couple hours in her house. So, I worked my mom up to meeting Fergus. Thursday night we watched Marley & Me. I have seen the movie before, and knew, even if you aren't a "dog person" it was nearly impossible not to fall in love with Marley. It worked! The movie moved her! Friday my mom and dad made the journey down to NJ to meet Fergus. Since it was a warm night we were outside when my parents pulled up. Fergus ran towards my mom, but did not jump on her. Then, Fergus posed for a couple family pictures. My mom couldn't believe how well behaved he was, and even got in a couple pictures herself. I knew she was falling in love! By the end of the night my mom claimed "Fergus is family" So I knew we could bring him to Easter.
Fergus met his entire family on Easter...grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins! He started at my parents house, then went to Kevin's aunt's house.
Fergus had a great time at both houses. At the Listers he even had the opportunity to meet his great grandmother, Mom-mom, the matriarch of the family. Mom-mom instantly won Fergus's heart by sneaking him several pieces of peperoni off the table!
Fergus was well behaved on the car ride home, but was tired. When he came in the house he went straight to bed. He could hardly get up for his visit outside before we went to bed. When we woke on Monday morning he was sluggish to go outside. No lie, Fergus slept all day Monday. It was not until Tuesday afternoon he was back to his loving energetic self. So I guess it is true, dogs sleep at least 20 hours a day!
