Yep, he's getting real comfortable. He got a lil too used to sleepin under me when we were both freezing this past month, now he doesn't want to use his kennel at nite, but agreeing to 2 yrs of kennel at nite was a mandatory requirement w/his trainers bc apparently he starts thinkin he's in charge if allowed to sleep next to me (& this month of freezin temps proved they were right, so we're workin on dominance issues for a bit...).
Radar has no trouble pulling me up the rv stairs & then stays right behind me so I can lean on him goin down the stairs. I thought he'd have trouble changin from regular staircases where going down he stayed right at my side to the behind position bc of how narrow rv stairs are - but he's a trooper - no problem whatsoever.
He's still a bit skittish around big rigs & the truck stops, but that's gettin better all the time - I don't think his trainers ever thought bein around big rigs would be a job requirement! He's really given me a chance to do some things that before I thought I'd never do again, or was a bit leery of if tryin new things w/this leg, but now I know the worse that can happen is a fall & he can definitely get me back on my feet.
He's a great help, indispensable, in setting up & tearin down my rv camps. I use him to get up & down from hookin up my plumbin & such, & that turned out to be an easy crossover from his falls training, he's jus amazing! This a pix of him in my ol Subaru that Im tryin to get sold so I can get somethin that can tow flat - I don't think it's a good idea for me to try to wrestle w/a dolly. I'd rather do something a lil more plug n play so to speak.
