Mickey's portraitPortraits will appear here

My name is Mickey. I was born on July 31, 2022, and I live in Northern California with my mom and dad. They named me after someone called Mickey Mouse. I do not really know who that is, but I suppose he must have a very fine name.

I have brothers too. They visit every so often, though sometimes their arrival feels like a particularly wonderful trick. I get into the car with my parents, and if I am lucky, my brothers suddenly appear with bags and climb in. That means I get several whole days to play with them. Several days is a splendid amount of time when there is playing to be done.

My best friend is Archie. We go on hikes and explore together, which is important work. We also wrestle and play together. That is important work too.

There are many good things in my life, and peanut butter is certainly one of them. I am curious to see what waits around the next bend, especially if Mom, Dad, my brothers, or Archie are coming along. And if there happens to be peanut butter at the end of the road, so much the better.
