Just wanted to say hi, from Rudy and me. He is doing great. Took him with me to our family Thanksgiving dinner at my sisters, stayed over night, tons of kids and strangers.
He doesn't tremble anymore, even right at first when he meets people. Female are still much easier to trust, but really, really, enjoys attention and petting, he is quick to make friends, and only looks to me for reassurance right at the beginning. Today he even ........almost went right up to my neighbor who I was just greeting for the first time... Not quite but was right there with me, she has two dogs so it always goes smoother.
Yesterday we were cutting firewood at a friends house, I couldn't believe how quickly he relaxed, we'd only been there once before and at that time he didn't even really want to get out of the car. What's remarkable is that he wasn't to scared even by the guys who's house it is. He didn't go to far from either of us, chainsaws and all. He got skiddish, only when my son showed up with the truck, he isn't very relaxed around my son....(he likes cats and Rudy holds it against him I think)
Our next goal for him is to use the front door and responding when I say to come. He always comes, but he needs to come to me rather than in the vicinity, we just have a difference of interpretation of the word come apparently.
Hope things are well with you and yours.
Thanks for every thing... He fills a nice little spot in my heart.
Peace
Amy
