+4Green boy ( Milo ) is doing well. He is having a lot of trouble learning to go potty OUTSIDE but we continue working with him. He is also getting used to a leash and doing well with that. He has his own little play area that we call his room. No doors on it,but he loves dragging all of his toys in there and even has a bed in there to take naps if he desires. Hopefully he'll soon learn potty OUTSIDE and not on mommy's floor.lol But he'll get it eventually. He e is a real lover though and likes cuddles and kisses.
