I don't remember moods for either guy early on - I do remember the non-stop eating. Both had lost a lot of weight. I still kick myself for not catching on with Beau. I kept telling myself the weight loss dry food was finally working :roll: Boy, did it ever! %$#^&*!
Not knowing what Dante's first home situation was, and why he was dumped, it's hard to tell what he is thinking. Maybe he is finally starting to think he is safe and the food will always be there on schedule and he will be taken care of, etc. He may have trust issues still because of feeling "gotten rid of" twice. He may be letting go of a fear that if he trusts you and starts to let his guard down he will be shipped off somewhere else again. He has been through a lot in the recent months.
