Poor boy has had so many things to work through. There's the extreme fear of the fly swatter - still a work in progress. Only in the last year would he expose his belly willingly to me. In the past six months he's doing "snow" angels no matter what the weather. The look on his face is so happy. He lays on the couch with me but still does not put his head on my lap.
Just the other night he butt tucked all over the yard, total doggy abandon, huge grin on his face. Then he came in a butt tucked in the house. We were laughing so hard. He's come so far, conquered so much.
