Day 11

"please don't pick me up"

 
Today was a typical day. Cooper is eating well. He starts to bark when he is hungry too. We are stretching his feedings to every 4 hours instead of every 3, and I think he is adjusting well. Cooper's diarrhea seems to be going away, and he is also pooping less frequently. This means easier messes to clean! He pees in his cage a lot, but he prefers to potty outside. This morning I left the crate door open to see if he would come out on his own. It took him several minutes, but he eventually tip toed out when he thought I wasn't looking. I had my back turned away as I drew up his drugs, but I was peeking. When he got to the garage exit, he couldn't step down the stair. He had to do a little jump! It was very cute.

Later in the day, I opened the crate door, then I went to put his food bowl in the middle of the yard. When I as on my way back, he was already out of his crate and about to jump down onto the sidewalk. I hope he continues to exit on his own like this. It means we won't have to crawl halfway into his crate to pick him out and carry him outside.
