[PapaDon]

We had a rescue dog, Mickey, for awhile. He was a beagle-basset mix and had been abused. He just loved attention, but never learned to play "fetch" - if you moved your arm to throw something, he would cower.

He never barked, but howled at sirens, which our current dog picked up from him and continues to this day (living near the fire and police stations means a good bit of howling, too!).

He also loved to wander and was expert at finding ways to get out of the fenced yard, some of which we never figured out. Unfortunately, that led to his death when he was hit by a car. We'll always miss him.

Keep us posted on "Lucky".
