OMG ! what a list Jana ! It was very interesting for me to read, although I knew already most of it. BTW Arthur is fine he now does his walks in the house, gets on Pookie's nerves because he wants to play and looks out to the world from inside. Everybody asks us where Arthur is, lol ! I think when it's getting warmer and we are in the yard he will go out too. His appetite HAS NOT suffered from his trauma !
