Thanks, sue. Yes, he’s neutered, has been since he was only a few months old. We’ve been trying to take it easy on him since we do know what he’s been thru. We personally knew the previous owner, and her daughter (who was in school at the time of the fire) is good friends with my little sister (they’re both 15yrs old). We haven’t been pushing him to do too much, but even the basic stuff he’s not into. We were told that he wasn’t eating or going to the bathroom much since the fire. Before then, he was handfed table food. We finally got him to eat, and it’s regular dog food, and go to the bathroom. We took him to the vet on Monday, and he’s in good health with the exception of allergies. The biggest problem is getting him to go out for a walk in the AM before they head off to work/school. He doesn’t want to budge, and obviously, they don’t want him having an accident while they are not there or holding it all day. But, when they try to either coax him out with a treat it doesn’t work. When they try to push him out the door, he snaps. They got him out this morning, and he was OK when he was out, but when my mom tried to take off the leash, he snapped and caught my mom’s hand. Not too bad, but we don’t want that happening nonetheless. Other than that, he’s a great dog…he plays, he loves to be petted and just generally hang out with everyone.
