puppy love

It's no secret that we love our dog.  

Moose is very wonderful, extremely patient, and though not without his quirks- a perfect dog to be around a baby.  Moose generally likes to be close to the action, or better yet - non-action.  He prefers for us to all sit on the couch together without moving. :)  

(tolerant!)

So close that Bo can rub his fur while drinking his bottle.

Lately Bo started saying something that sounded like "puppy," so  we encourage that and practice with him.  Not sure where that came from but it sounds cool!  Maybe it goes hand in hand with Bo acting like a puppy.

(This is not allowed, but he is a quick guy.

Poor Moose is often thirsty because his bowl is up out of Bo's reach.)

And - not pictured - I constantly have to take dog toys away from him.  Just now, I had to remove him from the center of Moose's dog bed, where Bo was chewing on a dog toy.  

So gross.

Finally, some 'puppy' words and an example of Moose's infinite patience and sweet (sleepy) temperament.
