Anyways, it was an interesting day yesterday. When I got home from work I let the dogs outside first thing. A neighbor was in his backyard on the phone, which made Kolohe bark. Normally if Kolohe barks and/or if someone is talking near by Chopper runs back inside. This time he got scared, moved low to the ground, but still went outside to pee! It was an interesting and positive change. When he came back inside he was still thrown off. He didn't want to be in the back of the house, and when he was, he was staring out the kitchen window towards the direction of the sound. Never mind the fact he never actually saw anyone, he was looking for them! But he didn't go into completely Chop-down. Usually he gets on his blanket, goes internal and won't interact. He just got scared this time, though he did lie on his Spongebob blanket :). I had to feed him from there, but by the end of the night he had stopped looking out the window.
Here he is on the blanket with his eyes clear and body relaxed:
This morning he was in a great mood--a spring in his step with everything he did. Eating, going outside, even when he came to tell me he had to go back outside (which he isn't too confident at yet typically). When I went to put the dogs back in the bedroom to go back to sleep with Greg, his tail was doing a small but quick excited wag at the door.
