He's doing good so far. The prednisone makes him pant and pee a lot. He's got to take that for two weeks but will be down to one pill a day in another week and I'll give that to him in the morning when I get home. That way, he'll get to go a lot before I go to work. The anti anxiety medicine seems to be working well, too. When I leave the room, I don't look at him or say anything to him. The same when I get back. Then when he settles down by my chair, which is pretty quick, I tell him he's a good dog and pet him. I keep him in my room on the weekends that the nephew is visiting. Today, I was actually gone 1 1/2 hours and I found him laying in my recliner. No torn carpet or chewed wood. He could have known that people were still in the house, though, Don't know. I had to tell him to get down but then didn't say anything or pet him until he settled down. I'll be glad when he's off the prednisone so he won't be panting so much. Thanks for asking about him, ya'll. He's a very sweet dog. Right now, he's happily chewing a rawhide. I got some pics of him and Doogie in the shower together that I'll try and put up tomorrow. Seems they both enjoy it.
