He can do the stairs now without a problem. I think that was a new skill acquired here. He's still been accident free in the house. He does all his business outside. I work from home so I let them out several times during the day. He's been fine in the crate too. No problems.
I'd say he's more vocal than some of the other foster dogs we've had. Sometimes I don't hear a peep out of them. But, when Baby hears my dogs bark he's not shy about joining in. He doesn't start it but when my female starts barking at something outside (the mailman, etc) he isn't going to pass up on the fun. My girls play with the family behind us and when he's seen them climbing the fence coming back into our yard he has barked a few times but once he realizes it's them he stops and is all happy to see them. I'd say he's a normal barker...not excessive...not mute...just normal.
Here's Baby at today's game. (Darn it...they lost by 1 run).
