There is a Moose in my house!



I'd like to introduce you to the newest guy in my life! His name is Max, or Roonie, and recently even Moose. He's a 16 month old golden retriever, and after having co-custody of him for the past year, he has official made the leap from outside wanderer to inside garbage disposal.

I still have my one and only, Sammy... and Charlie the tenant, but they both seem to be adjusting to the addition quite well. Charlie no longer hisses at Roonie, but rather tolerates him, and Sammy plays with him when their in the snow and avoid getting trampled on while their in the house. I have only had Moose for three days but over the short time have taught him to: lay down, high five and shake (he already knew how to sit). So I am pretty impressed with how fast he is learning.

While it isn't the best photography, I've tagged the following photo to give a better idea as to how humongo Max-a-Roonie really is. This was taken this evening in our kitchen, he is sitting next to Sammy (my cocker spaniel) and I left the baby gate and kitchen cupboards in the picture for scale.

I like the new colors of the blog, Danielle! Very bright and cheery. Is Max yours now or just visiting? He is a big puppy but very smart. He deserves a loving owner like you!
