Thanks for checking in! Donner is now Biscuit. Things are going well, although we discovered behavior issues after adopting. He very much acts like a puppy so I’m not sure if he’s actually younger or he just didn’t have any kind of training. He gets along with all my animals, cats and dogs but wants to play bite so he’s learning that’s not ok. He will often run circles around the back yard as fast as he can. He eats very well. We’re still working on house training but I think he’s starting to understand. He can be sweet at his settling down times. We’ll get there! Having this many animals is alot but I’m happy we can give them all a home! (3 cats, 3 dogs, 2 turtles) I wish I could save them all!
