Cairo seems to be doing better, have you noticed any signs of the cortisol rising? I think it will be a rather long time before it does after what he has been thru. Maybe he carried his toy around to keep his mouth busy, so people don't perceive him as a threat? Dog are smart so I would not doubt it. Whatever the case I think it is awfully cute of him. We have a cold front here with frost on the grass. Tipper likes the cooler temperatures to walk in. She is just more relaxed when it is cooler. Hope you two have a good weekend. Blessings
