I Can Stand Up All-By-Myself!

Just a brief update: On Saturday February 10th Buddy stood up on all four legs to eat his breakfast, all on his own!! This was rather exciting as I was not paying attention but talking with Michale, waiting for the dogs to finish so we could make our Saturday morning ritualistic trek to Starbucks for a much needed Double Tall Latte!!! Michale pointed to Buddy and said "look!" there he was standing up eating away... He has stood a few more times since then but is not yet walking. Other improvements:

• Getting better all the time with "bathroom habits"; he is anxious to go back outside. He tries to get out the back door if I am not careful when I let Frankie out.
• Grumpy as heck and tired of being confined - started to allow him time in the kennel with Frankie, does ok and is happy to be back into his "routine".
• Off the Steroids and thank goodness, I am over his "roid rage"; he fights Frankie for his food, has a ferocious appetite and is overall ornery, not fun!
• Participated in his acupuncture last week, next session is Friday... stay tuned for more!
