slinky worm is a perfect analogy!!
i couldn't really think of a way to describe how he acts. it's not that i think he's scared of the pet. he just doesn't "get" that its a reward not another game.
he's perfect in my eyes, and is really growing into a lovely boy.
i'm so proud of him and how well he does in the new situations we put him in. he is such a joy in my life.
i think we just still have a lot of learning to do
