Over the last 4 days the Colonel's climbing
ability has increased enormously.
If the surface is easily gripped (fabric)
he can get up even a 90[[degree]] incline.
His digits are getting stronger, and the
coordination between his front & back
feet is much better.  This standing upright
which Lynn reported is something that
has just appeared over the last couple
of days.

I also find it interesting that
he defecates & urinates frequently
during his feediong sessions.  I've 
cleaned up as many as 5 firm feces
during a 10 minute feeding & usually
he urinates 4 or 5 times also.

his mane is growing out around his 
head - his ears are not as visible.
