Thanks again for all of your encouragement. It means so much to me!
Another baby step tonight: Sunny ate his dinner on his bed behind the couch tonight rather than in his crate in the other room!! We made sure to stay out of the area, not to walk around, nor look at him while he ate. He paced back and forth a little but kept going back to eat more until it was gone - woo hoo!! :B Maddie was gated off in the kitchen so she wouldn't move in and scarf down his food, the little terror - er, terrier - lol!
