No more walking around in the turtle proofed part of the house when the girls are out. LOL
He only goes after Charity the largest one but last night she did the defensive shoulder down posture at him.. the one that means get away from me. Then she turned in circles with him & had the leave me alone or else posture. I took him away when that started.
I am really happy to see him feeling this good though. I didn't expect this so soon.

I got him to eat 2 meal worms when I put them on his morning food plate. He left one so it sat there & died but he did eat 2, I looked all under his towels, they weren't in there.
I also have placed several different bites of fruit, berries, & greens on his plate. He is eating bits of all these different things so we are well on the way to eliminating dog food from his diet.
WTC Chip!

Poor Chip with no girlfriend. But that's great that he's starting to eat turtle-type food

Yesterday I tried an experiment, I set him down next to a girl that wasn't Charity & he walked away!
He really seems to have a thing for Charity but not the other girls. Maybe it's because opposites attract, he's little she's huge lol.
I saw his vet when I took the dog in yesterday afternoon & she thought the same thing I did. If he's interested in girl(s), he's doing really well.
Sorry golfdiva I didn't mean to scare ya LOL.
