I downloaded a checklist for Finn

What really is frustrating is that he improved so much over the years. When we got him he could barely walk, he couldn't play, he grabbed frantically at every bit of food, he couldn't be left alone even for a minute, he didn't know how to sit or stay, he couldn't climb on and off chairs or up and down stairs. And little by little - he got better. He could walk. He could be left alone without immediately panicking. We could touch his hindquarters, he wasn't scared of the dark anymore. He learned to play, guys. I mean, his idea of play was mostly to start for the ball and then remember he'd rather be snuggled than bring it back to us, but he was enthusiastic about it! Even as recently as a summer ago he was still learning new things, doing new things.
And in less than a year, it's like it's all gone. He doesn't howl when we leave, but that's about the only lasting change. So I don't... I don't even know.
