One of our goals is to be able to go out in public without Jonathan bolting away from us. This is where tethering him to Buddy is critical. Thanks to Betty, we now have a modified vest that he wears and (miracle!) is happy about it! We say, "let's take Buddy for a walk" and he happily (so far) comes along - as long as we keep moving! Stopping to talk to people is not a happy thing at the moment, but we'll keep working on it.
Another goal is to transfer Jonathan's need to fall asleep with me over to Buddy. Last night, Buddy was on his bed with Dave while Jonathan fell asleep. Then, this morning at 5:30, Buddy voluntarily jumped back up for awhile. Jonathan woke up happy, and I even saw him reach down and touch Buddy.
And I don't know who's been praying...but the sun is shining! Thank you!!!
