Just like a child, he learned to go up the stairs a while ago. At first, even though he was able to walk up the stairs in our home, he didn't have much curiosity to explore the upstairs. Well, that is starting to change. Some days he is content to spend all his time with me downstairs, but other days I guess I'm just not enough entertainment and he heads out on his own to explore the bedrooms.
When I track him down upstairs (after a few seconds of fear that I've somehow lost a dog in 1300 sq ft) he is quite pleased with himself and has usually found a dry cleaning slip or comforter tag to chew on.
I bring him back downstairs and put up our blockade. It consists of a box and a plastic garbage can lid. It just kinda leans against the first few stairs so humans can easily bypass it, but it thwarts Mickey easily.
When he sees the blockade is up he usually turns around and looks at me as if to say, "What is this all about?"
