Hudson and the Deck Stairs

We were on a mission over the long holiday weekend to convince Hudson that he could go down the deck stairs. Other stairs have been no problem but he has been very fearful of the deck stairs.

So close...but he wouldn't do it.

We tried to lure him with Cheerio treats but he wouldn't do it for one...

...nor for two nor for any other treats that we used to entice him.

Finally today the mere sight of Tim and John Caden running aournd playing in the backyard without him was more than his poor little heart could bear.  So with quite a wiggle wabble waddle he finally took his first step and made it to the bottom.
