September 26, 2015. Harper, Texas. Moose.

Moose is a good dog,  especially at the ranch.  He loves to run alongside the Gator when David drives around the pastures.   He trembles with excitement when David gets into his Gator and watches for David to point the direction.    When the run is over and the Gator is turned off, Moose lies down and never budges.  He is a happy dog and a tired dog, therefore a good dog.

Moose is a Weimereiner.   He was named after Moose Harbor in Nova Scotia.  David and Suzanne and the girls were visiting and while there, decided to get another dog, so they selected Moose for his name.  Moose Harbor is a natural deep water harbor just along Shore Road from our house.  They got him as a puppy, shortly after returning home.  He has turned out to be a wonderful dog.  As a pup, he would put his head on your leg to be petted and keep his head there until you stopped.  He was endearing and I was attached to him even though I did not see him very often.

David took him dove hunting last week.  Moose retrieved the doves well, until he decided that enough was enough and he went and lay down under the truck.  David called for Moose to get to work but nothing happened.  David laughed and retrieved his own doves.  Moose is smart too and loves to please.  Mostly he is obedient and responds to voice commands except of course when he has had enough work for the moment.  Moose is a pleasure to have at the ranch and I am always pleased to see him arrive with David.
