Update - Mickey's Home
I am going to bore you with 61 pictures.
He is absolutely adorable, sweet, scared, SKINNY to the point I feel every rib and vertebrae on his young body, he STUNK which is a bit better since he had a bath and he has HUGE feet!!
He is suffering with kennel cough (yes, before you ask Samantha has been vaccinated). You know he will put on weight with Momma Matzkin's home cooking!
He is starting to warm up a bit - he actually is wagging his tail when I rub his belly. It has only been 6 hours he is here so that is great!
Samantha so far has had very little interaction with him, maybe she understands he is nervous and just not ready for learning the ropes of playing ball. There is always tomorrow!
Jacquie, Karen and Lynne - I can't thank you enough for finding this litle guy for us! I promise you he will have a very, very happy, long life!
Mickey had grown by leaps and bounds! He has gained close to 10 lbs, his confidence level has made huge strides! He still is leary of new things - puppies and people included but give his some time and he warms up real fast. He may outgrow it - only time will tell.
He would barley leave his 'home base' for days. Slowly he would wonder the backyard. Started to play with Samantha. Last night they wrestled - real dog wrestling - teeth, growling - the whole package. What a wonderful time watching them and to see how much he has grown. He sleeps up in our bedroom with Samantha and us - no accidents. He even slept on Samantha's bed last night - big time confidence!!
Mickey is going to his forever home this weekend. He is being adopted by my daughter & SIL, Marissa and Seamus. Marissa is a DK member already. All of us (Mark, me, Samantha, & Charli) will be going with Mickey to Pittsburgh this weekend to help him make the adjustment to his new home. We are going to miss this sweet, loving little boy!

Is that your daughter? What a sweet puppy. His eyes just seems to be saying "Just tell me what you want me to do". I bet he will be very easy to train. He looks so happy to just have some love. What is the purpose of the mirror?

Yes, Suzanne is my oldest. The mirrow - we have it outside so Mark can work on his golf swing. Mickey found another puppy to sit with so he has made it 'his spot'. He walks a few feet away, realizes he did and runs back to it. If he wants that to be his spot, it's his! Until of course, he phyically outgrows it which won't take very long.

He is just adorable, and really gorgeous! Is that a Moo I see? he seems to love it! What a lucky puppy, and what a great future he has in store! Thanks so much for giving him this chance to be a spoiled doodle!

Samantha has been very gracious to allow Mickey to play and nap with Moo. I am very proud of her!
It is my pleasure to give this little guy a happy life filled with love, food, baths, clean ears, and grass!! What more can a puppy ask for? -

Mickey update - yahoo - he had his first real pee and poop. I took him to the side of our home where there is an enclosed pen - didn't take him long to squat and pee and give me a poop and considering what he has been through in the past 18 hours, it was great!!

All right. He may have been holding on to it until he knew the place was okay. Be sure to take him to that spot frequently until he knows that is the potty place. Great progress.

We just got back from the vet. He weighs only 21 lbs - app 4-5 underweight. His kennel cough is bad and he has a fever of 103.5. He is now on prescription cough medicine and new antibiotics. I had them draw blood for heartworm test - he hadn't had that yet. His ears are now clean and pick like they should be. You can't imagine how much gunck came out of those little ears. He wouldn't eat his dinner and is taking a nap. Hopefully when he gets up he will feel like eating.
more later.... -
