@Cicada: He's our baby now and he's become a completely different dog than when we first brought him home. He's learned to go up and down stairs, he no longer runs and hides in the creek out back when he gets scared (which is good because that place is gross), and we don't even need to keep him on a leash anymore - he follows us around and comes running when we call him.

Oh and he's put on a good amount of weight. He's turning into a gorgeous dog.
