“Hi James, Hi Katie, Thank you for the handwritten note and your thoughtful words. True to your June 25, 2025, assessment, Mika’s personality shines exactly as you predicted: steady and engaged, responsive to people, and adaptable.
Mika is loving life in Napa and has settled beautifully into his feeding and potty routines. He’s sleeping soundly from 10:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.—even if I get up during the night—and during the day we take him to his backyard “Potty Place” about every 90 minutes to prevent accidents. With continued consistency, we expect he’ll be fully house-trained within the next month or two.
For socialization, we’ve been “walking” downtown Napa, Yountville, and the Sonoma Plaza. While strolling or dining outdoors, Mika routinely attracts crowds—well over 100 people so far—thanks to his unique look, markings, and warm temperament. He has greeted everyone with enthusiasm. Yesterday in Sonoma, two professional photographers stopped us, took photos, and jokingly asked whether we had a license for his cuteness—he really is that adorable.
When people ask where we found Mika, we gladly share your names and the link to Stokeshire Designer Doodles. If someone seems genuinely interested, we enthusiastically recommend them to you and offer to connect them.
Thank you for helping bring Mika into our lives. He is exactly what you projected: smart, trainable, and emotionally balanced—equally happy to play and to rest. He’s flourishing with daily walks, simple obedience sessions, and meeting lots of new people (and a few canine friends).
