@JazzysMom:
I tried to go see your boy's photo in the member gallery, but all I got was an empty album – I looked in the member gallery under comicdon -- am I looking in the wrong place. {It's entirely possible that I am completely missing the obvious -- that's sort of a gift I have :rolleyes: }
Try this link, it was probably a my mistake when I originally set up the album.

Yesterday I got one of the ramps out that I use to load my riding lawn mower in to my trailer when I need to take it for service. Roo adapted to it right away and now he likes to walk up and down and play on it.
I will build him a makeshift teter taughter next and see how that goes. After yesterday we can see that his name is appropriate. He jumps around like a baby kangaroo. Of course he is named after the baby Kangaroo in the Winnie the Pooh Series. We found a package of 5 superballs for a $1 yesterday, and he seems to love chasing those. Actually yesterday night, he slept for 6 hours for the first time since we had him.
When he work me up this morning, I opened his crate, and he shot right out. I put his food bowl down, and he ate more aggressively than I had seen him do since we brought him home. After he emptied the bowl, I took him out for a bit, and then back in and we played a little. Then I took him back out, and for a long walk up and down my street. When he came back in, it was the first time I ever saw him run into his Kennel while a person was in the room, and lay down and go to sleep. He is also learning to sit as I put on his leash, make him wait to come in the front door, and then take off his leash when we get to his kennel area. So far in my opinion, he is showing great intelligence, playfulness, and a willingness to please us.
