I don't know about huge, he is so skinny he only looks tall. I hope he will
eventually be huge. He is eating 12 cups of food a day, if not 13, last
night he had a snack. I am taking him to my vet Saturday mostly to weigh,
and to get him in their records and introduce him.
He was totally quiet through the night in his crate, really well behaved,
and he didn't chew on his tail. He also didn't chew on it this morning when
he had to stay in the crate by himself for about three hours until it was
warm enough for him to go out in the sun. Mother let him out. Hans went in
and out with him, and Greta fussed because she wanted to be there too. I
don'tthink it is going to take two weeks for her to get over it.
