Floyd is doing well

Sorry about not having any pictures yet -- it has been a hectic week.  Floyd is doing well though.  He does have a bug which caused some pretty nasty diarrhea, but he is on meds for that and is responding well.  We did move him upstairs, but opted for trying the crate in the living room, since the yard sale still had some of my living room furniture in my room, it just seemed easier.  But it actually is working very well, so we have just stuck with it.  Floyd has become very crate comfortable being in the room with us, and goes in and out of the crate even if he is not enclosed in it.  And if we close the door, he just stays in there quietly, even if we don't bother to latch it.  He is responding well to be asked to lay down in it, when things get too active for a dog on heartworm treatment.  So all in all, he is getting more interaction, and still maintaining a low key existence.

Floyd is visiting

Our new foster friend, Floyd is visiting.  I'll load some pictures later.  He came home with me yesterday morning.  Usually fosters stay in my husband and my bedroom, but we were having a yardsale yesterday that extended into my front room, so I thought Floyd would feel calmer in the basement where he did not hear so many strange voices coming and going right outside the door.  Besides the fact that the crate in my bedroom, makes things pretty snug.

Floyd cries when he is lonely.  Rather loudly.  So that did not work so well. And is not working well.  I think Floyd is moving upstairs today.

Also, Floyd is not comfortable using stairs.  At all.  His front legs go up, but his back ones won't follow -- and then he freezes and pitifully whimpers in great consternation.

Once again -- Floyd is moving upstairs today.
