Downstairs?!?

After two months of mostly hanging out under Mom and Dad's bed and occasionally on the bed chilling with Mom or trying to eat Dad's food, Aslan has ventured downstairs three mornings in a row. He'll poke his head into the foyer or the parlor off the foyer, but that's about it. Then he'll go back to the middle of the stairs for a minute before returning to the bedroom. This is usually right as Dad's getting ready to leave for work so Dad can't even spend a lot of time with Aslan encouraging him. But we're both getting extra treats because of this. We're proud of him for being brave. 

Of course just as he's making progress he's developed a sniffle and his left eye had some goop in it last night and he was really squinty so Mom's going to try to get him to the vet this morning and make sure he's ok. They're really cautious about those eyes because of Maggie. Hopefully this isn't a big setback for Aslan.
