I am so sorry to see Duncan has passed on. May he rest in peace. The first post was great. I can tell Duncan was loved greatly by you. Hang in there.

I got Mikey from a women who's husband had just died and her kids felt bad and bought him for her. I know he was bought from a pet store originally, however, I really hope his mother and father are not sitting in a crappy puppymill somewhere. As for his siblings, I don't know how much he had or anything like that. I don't really know much about his puppyhood either, I know he wasn't abused or anything, at least not physically. He was stuck in the cage for most of the day and night though, and when we first got him he absolutely HATED his cage. Hated the thought of EVER going in it again. We had to re-crated train him. He now is a good boy and only goes in his cage at night or when there's a thunderstorm coming and we're not home. Usually he stays out, even when we aren't home and he's such a good dog. He's terrified of thunder to. But that's not anyone's fault.

I also wonder if he ever misses his old owner, she was a very sweet lady. I don't think he misses his old lifestyle of always being in his crate, not getting walks, etc. but he might miss her. When I e-mail his owner she never really responds back, which is a shame, because she said she'd love to see pictures of him. I know she was heartbroken having to give him up.

He's the love of my life, I only hope he feels the same!
