Harness is gone...

This morning I crawled into the Xpen and sat down, hoping Simba would come over and/or jump into my lap... Close up, I could see the harness is just too small around his rib cage - it had to go... Closer inspection, I guessed it would not go over his head either and had been put on upside down with the leash connection ring on the bottom... Dunno how long it has been on, nor do I know for sure that's why he has such extreme back sensitivity...



Regardless, eventually with much patience and sweet talking, I was able to get the scissors underneath one section to cut it but while doing it, Simba widdled all over my lap... What is in this littel guy's past that causes this?

Convincing him that I wasn't going to hurt him and was the bearer of those yummy (YUCK!!) Vienna sausages, I managed to cut the other half of the harness off of him... However, he walked and widdled in anxiety...

That was enough pushing and stressing him for now... I gave him another one of those (YUCK) Vienna sausages and stepped out of the Xpen to give him a break... He's back into his kennel again - guess the stress was a lot for a little guy, but it had to be done... Hopefully the line across his back from the halter will smooth out with time now...
