Update from my foster mom

McGee entered IBR foster care January 3 as a stray from Southwestern Kansas.

McGee is a pup, and curious as can be. He is housebroken and crate trained. He loves his crate, we tap on the top of it and he lays right on his cozy blanket. He is quite all night. McGee gets along great with my three kids ages 6, 10, 13 and loves to cuddle. If I let him he would stay all night with my 6 year old in his double bed.

McGee makes his own fun, he plays with his stuffed toys and tosses them up in the air and then bounces on it. He gets along just fine with my female pointer, he play bows to her constantly. He would do great with another dog in the house. He is a joy to have in the house, loves to growl at himself in the reflections in the fireplace glass. He does have to work on his puppy manners, he tends to counter surf, but a firm no makes him remember. We are working on sit, and is starting to wait at the door when he needs his feet wiped before coming in from the wet grass. He is really a good dog with a shiny coat and long legs.
