2. He's doing pretty well.

He's still fearful of strangers and new situations, but over time he's come out of his shell. At first he only wanted to be around me, and now he's comfortable with my whole family. He knows a few commands. I'm still working on getting him to walk on a leash. He'll do fine in my yard but he really doesn't want to leave my yard and go anywhere. He's got a good spot and he's staying. Eventually he'll figure out that we're always going to come back.

Health wise he's doing beautifully. I don't know how much weight he's put on, but he was 11 mos when I adopted him and was underweight (at 95 lbs) I guess I'll find out next month at his checkup how much he weighs now but he's definitely a bigger and more solid looking dog, and doesn't look bony anymore.
