Thank you all for your kind words regarding Tubs and his bad kennel experience. I have to say that his face looks a lot better, but his lips are still red. When I get home I will take a picture and post. He is still acting funny. Last night I let him lay on the couch with me until bed time. He fell asleep right away and stayed asleep the entire time. When it is bed time I usually can say "time for bed" and he jumps up and comes running into the bedroom. Last night he took a little coaxing, but he came in. He usually tries to get into bed with us by jumping up and putting his from paws up on the bed. Last night he laid right down on his bed and feel asleep before I even got into bed. He also heard something that spooked him as soon as the lights went out and he started barking. I had to sit with him to get him to calm down. This is not him at all. He is also cawarding away from me when I try to give him a treat. I hold it in my hand and sit on the floor and hold it out to him, but he ducks his head and steps backwards. I am not sure what is going on there because he usually comes running for a treat. I am not sure what went on there when it came to treats, but I know they gave him treats because I sent him with a new bag and it is almost empty now. I stopped home during work this morning and when I walked into the door he got excited and started jumping up....he usually doesn't do this and I wouldn't accept this, but it made me feel better that he was getting a little more excited. However, that didn't last long and he because lathargic again and laid down. I sat on the couch and let him get up there with me again and he laid his head on my chest and fell asleep right away. My husband also said he didn't budge when he unlocked the door and walked in, he actually had to wake him up. All I can say is that he was cooped up in that kennel all week with no interaction whatsoever and did nothing but sleep the whole time. I told my husband to make sure he played with him all day to see if we can get him out of this funk. I am not liking this at all! I will be sitting down and writing a letter to the kennel as well. I am just very upset because everyone told me wonderful things about this place and said they never heard a bad thing about them.....well there is always a first time!!!!
