Titus - Atheist or Simply anti-Catholic?

Titus had a run-in with Mary, the Mother of God, a few days ago.  After Jeff had been singing Titus' praises for never being rattled, he was well and truly spooked by a two foot statute of Our Lady in Jeff's backyard.  Titus spied the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM)  from about ten feet, barked , backed up, and then slowly approach, and eventually sniff, the Queen of Heaven.  Was it as emporer he was threatened by the growth of Christianity, or as bishop the preachy letter from Paul turned him, or perhaps as Titus Andronicus he grew jaded by the never ending cycle of revenge. We may never know, and only time will tell if his apparent reconciliation is sincere.

Titus and Jeff have continued their usual daily routine of breakfast, the bus, work, the bus back, dinner and bed. A Titus and Jeff become more comfortable with one another, Titus appears to be loosening up a bit.being more apt to, for instance, try for a squirrel or give a quick woof when he hears another dog bark.  Titus is now snoring, the snore of a lab, a deep and seemingly unending reverberation from the depths of his soul.

New experiences since the last update includes long trips in the are where Titus quietly sits or snoozes, being left in the car for up to a half hour with no problems, playing with a four month old puppy at Susan's with no problems, and carrying a pen or paper or keys for Jeff between classes with no problems and much pride.

Titus managed to chew another gentle leader while Jeff was not looking.    It still works, but is frayed. Jeff is wondering how he can explain the need for a new one.

Medically Titus just got his flea treatment and heartworm pill.  Titus appeared to eat the pill and then spit it out.  Jeff tried putting it at the back of throat with no luck and then reverted to coating it with PB which did the trick.  Titus is satisfied with the progress of Jeff's training.

Titus and Jeff continue to practice on commands and manners with passing through doors being emphasized lately.
