snoopy and I have been taking a lot of trips like to the park on his leash and to my mother's house to visit my sister and last weekend for the holiday he went up north with me. he seems to be doing a bit better when he is not left to think about it all the time. I hope that I am doing the right thing for him I am still very open to suggestions about this --- it was so funny when I took him to the park he got the biggest kick out of running around I had to break into a real run to keep up with him :evil:
