I cut our visit a little short today as he seemed a little out of sorts. He really didn't want to walk too much as he seemed pensive in his hind end (unsure if this is Lyme or previous injury related). So we sat under the trees and I combed him and gave him a few treats, and he shook my hands several times for more food. He then relaxed and reclined and went belly up, and when I didn't immediately comply with a belly rub, he lifted his head as if to say, "wellllllll get to it." I rubbed his belly for at least ten minutes until the stones dug deeply into my legs from sitting. I combed him a bit more and he seemed to want to head back to his "dorm." It was clouding over a bit and I wondered if perhaps a storm was brewing and he knew it or perhaps he just wanted to go back in to be in the hub bub of it all. I complied and took him back a little early. So I walked two other dogs, and spent a little time with some very frightened little dogs who were rescued from a puppy mill-oi!
So our boy is safe and secure, and learning how to be "a dog," once again. Keep him in your prayers though, he's got a ways to go to develop security once again.
