Meet Moose

Like life ain't crazy enough, we have to adopt a 43 pound, 5 1/2 month old hound dog/wiemeriner mix puppy! (We have since found out he is probably a Catahoula Leopard Dog.)

Meet Moose.









We fell in love almost immediately.  He came and spent the night on New Year's Eve.  We decided then that he was just too big.  And he wanted to be a couch doggie.  So we brought him back to his foster mommy.  But, while looking at another yippy, smaller puppy we saw Moose again and we just decided to bring him home!

He is a puppy and has puppy behavior but he is super sweet.  And pretty lazy.  He has his active moments during the day and we are learning how to handle those.  We brought him to Meals on Wheels on Wednesday and are hoping to share him with our clients once he has some manners.  He is going to much needed puppy school.  Because he will be so big that was a must!

He is really smart and catches on pretty quick (but can be kinda stubborn.)  While walking him yesterday and training him not to pull on the leash, you could see the struggle to obey my command and his desire to do what he wanted to do.  He even kind of whimpered as he walked back to my side.  Kind of like us sometimes!  We know the right thing to do but doing it can be sooo hard!

Welcome to the family Moose . . . .
