Update on Artie - VT

King Arthur is doing very well!!! He's 'top dog- in every way. Still getting up way too early but Barton doesn't seem to mind and, when he's away, he sleeps in for me....go figure. I guess i just don't hear him as quickly.

Artie still doesn't lick but he's become a bit of a cuddler. He no longer hoards his toys and only occasionally seems possessive. He will still eat absolutely anything in sight (even tomatoes of any color and ripeness.) I have to be very careful.
most of the time he indulges my desire to walk further than 'nature' requires but sometimes he flatout refuses and sits down, in the middle of our walk, wanting to go no further. I win those battles by pulling and cajoling sweetly.
His big brown eyes win everyones affection. Often he can convince strangers to feed him out of mercy. We do try to control his diet.
He is the love of our life. Barton returns from travels to cuddle Artie immediately!!! He's been wonderful and we love him to pieces.
