Mickey is a wonderful dog and a very easy foster. He seems much younger than 11 and enjoys running around the yard with Sunny. He sleep through the night and will whine or paw at us when he needs to go outside. He walks fine on a leash until he spots something interesting then he pulls a lot. He responds to his name and knows sit. No problems with the cat - he mostly ignores him. Likes chew bones and rawhides. Mickey is very sweet and affectionate and cries when we leave. We usually aren't gone more than 4 hrs at a time, but he does fine in the house. He loves to sit on the window seat in front and watch for us to come home. He is so excited when we come home he doesn't know what to do. He will just run around in circles barking and whining.
