We've had a nice morning / lunch taking Beau (new doggo) for his first visit to the park and a cafe. He did really well and handled everything smoothly. This week has seen a step change in his excitement levels and he's very much better handling new things.

A slight downer is Jack (old doggo) is under the vet for severe weight loss. He had scans and x-rays yesterday looking for nasties but thankfully nothing found. It seems his long bout of IBS has thickened his intestine wall so he is not getting much nutrition from his food. He is on steroids for the diarrhoea the IBS caused and we expected him to start gaining weight once that was under control - didn't happen. So increased dose of steroids to reduce the bowel inflammation and see what happens. If he doesn't gain some weight in the next two weeks its more vet visits.
