My son Christopher and I adopted Moose, about 9 months ago and we are all doing great. I purchased a house in February with a huge backyard and we spend a lot of time out there, playing fetch, playing in the hose and what has now become the Moose pool. (it was just a little kiddie pool, but it gets hot so we fill it up and my son and him both sit in it to cool off) We all enjoy soaking up the sunshine. He is turning into a great dog. No accidents in the house, ever! He sits, lays, shakes, speaks and we are working on roll-over. He is crate trained and behaves very well, he loves looking for food on the counter and in trash and we are working on breaking that habit. He was a jumper, but has gotten a lot better. All he wants is for every single person who comes thru the door to rub his beally. He thinks everyone is coming to see him 🙂 We adore and love him and I know he feels the same way.
