Foster mom and pop update!!! 11/10/2023-"Rocky probably needs a bit of basic training,  while he does some counter surfing he is doing really well. Once in awhile he jumps up onto furniture and up on people to greet them, so we are working on "off" command. He's happy and affectionate with all people. He gets along great with our dogs. He comes when called and is easy to get back into the house after potty time. He sleeps through the night. He's had zero accidents in the house. He knows the command "kennel" for his crate, sound asleeping in the kennel whenever we get home... no barking that we've noticed. He is super smart, knows 'sit", "down", ...and I think he knows "spin" (or at least follows your hand and is learning spin).
