This is one of Bronson's first trips up the stairs. At this point, 90% of his day was sleeping and he prefered to do that upstairs. Early on it was really hard to get him up and moving, so we started feeding him downstairs. In order to get back to his bed, he would need to take this trek both ways each meal.

After a couple of days of this (torture), we decided to take a break on the exercise because we were concerned about the impact on his joints, but then picked back up once he dropped below 30lbs.

Although most of what Bronson gets for snacks is freezedried chicken, we used dental treats for this because they make a better sound when you toss them. He still isn't quite a pro on running up the stairs. As soon as a treat drops out of sight, he gets confused thinking it may be very close to him. That's why I started tossing them into the kitchen, to try and make it more obvious that it's not on the stairs.

Please excuse Gwildor in the 2nd half. He doesn't understand treats, but looooves standing where Bronson wants to go.
