October 7, 2020. San Antonio, Texas. The Dogs.

David and Suzanne have two dogs. They look identical. They might be twins but they are not. But they are both Weimerreiners. Moose is nine years old and was named after Moose Harbor in Nova Scotia. One of their dogs died and they were visiting us in Nova Scotia when they decided that it was time to get another dog. So as they were at Moose Harbor when the decision was made they selected the name Moose for their next dog. David called the breeder and made an appointment to look at the doga when they returned to Texas. Moose was and is a wonderful dog. When he was a puppy, he would put his head on your knee and wait to be petted. No jumping up and poking with his paws. He still does it. He is a wonderful dog. Lincoln is a puppy just over a year old. He is bigger than Moose and energetic. He lives to work. David has trained him to retrieve so every day they work together. David loves that dog, perhaps because he got lincoln when David was recovering from his surgery so Linc was always with David. And Lincoln loves David right back. The dog follows David everywhere both inside and out. Linc looks identical to Moose except he is a bit bigger. And Linc has a shorter tail. You can tell the difference in their activity too. When the dogs are together and asleep, the dogs could be identical twins. It is almost spooky. David's dogs are always well behaved which is a great blessing when visiting. When the dogs come into the house after dinner, they come and say hello but immediately find a comfortable place to rest on the floor. I like these dogs even though I have trouble telling them apart. These dogs breed true. Even those dogs are 9 years apart, they look identical. Quite amazing.
