Headed out to Iron Spike Kennels tomorrow to pick up my dog and I think I might not sleep a wink tonight.
My wife has said that I am almost as excited as when we were waiting for our kids to be born. I don't think so, but she had to convince me to not wake the kids up at the crack of dawn to get on the road...

Well then.... here's a little something to keep you going. lol You haven't seen this short little video yet. Moose learning to run a blind retrieve on a dead bird. Hey, he'll be 4 months old on Saturday, by the way - the kids can celebrate his "birthday!"

Ran a nice line on that "blind retrieve". Wind was blowin'.... SHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh. (Listen closely to the video - you can hear it on the speaker and see the grass blowin' - great way to build a first-timer's confidence and teach 'im to trust his nose!)

Could not have picked better breeder IMO.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel

Moose is a good lookin' pup!
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

Well, I can't remember how to post pics but I know more than a few have been snapped! He has adjusted better than expected! I thought that 4 kids, new house and lack of acreage might really have him playing the role of a recluse, but he seems very happy and interacts with all the kids wonderfully. You definately did a solid job on household manners, no jumping and he has quickly learned 'house specific' rules. Friday afternoon he decided the cofee table looked like a good chew toy, no bueno for my wife. Two stern verbal only corrections was all it took, he has not touched it since then...this is the same scenario for a delicious looking plant and rug. He learns quick & is more than willing to please. Great start to a new beginning....the family (especially me) is thrilled. Thanks again!
