Rondo's new favorite place to hang out is on the bed- he'll go upstairs, stand at the foot of the bed and whine until I put him up! The positive to this is that it's more evidence that his separation anxiety has really improved- when he first came here he would whine, cry and pace around whenever he was more than a few feet away- now, he's able to tolerate being alone without being frightened. He's feeling more secure, especially when he's with my dogs. I've been trying to take him for at least a short ride every day also, as this is pretty much his very favorite activity. He so excited when he sees his leash, wagging his whole body and dancing. I love it! 

His coughing is much better, his breathing is less labored, but his appetite remains a real challenge. He was pretty consistently eating ground beef in good sized portions for almost a week, but has now decided that he doesn't like beef either. He's eating some dark meat chicken and bits of oatmeal cookie, but not enough to keep his weight up.  I'm back to the baby food, AD dog food, cream cheese or nutrical placed on his tongue several times a day. It's much more stressful to have a dog that won't eat than one that will gobble absolutely anything! My own dogs are absolute heathens when it comes to food, grabbing anything in their reach- that can be annoying, but I know it's a sign of health. I would absolutely love to see Rondo start begging for food!!!!!
