Another happy ending!
Our big lovable lug of a Lab, blind Moose, was adopted this week by our long-time volunteer Rosemary M. of Missoula. In the photo above, that's Rosemary on the left and her daughter Ana on the right. I took the photo when they came to pick up Moose on Tuesday.
Rosemary emailed me yesterday to say, "Just dropping you a feedback note regarding Moose. He is doing exceptionally well. Let me rephrase that, the other furbabies are doing exceptionally well with him. We all knew Moose would be no problem. The old Dalmatian is grumpy as ever but realizes Moose is no threat to him. Mr. Beefy, the pug, loves him but can't quite understand why he won't play; although when Mr. Beefy was running circles around Moose at full speed, Moose got on his back and rocked back and forth — that will have to do for Mr. Beefy in terms of Moose's athletic capabilities."
Since Moose loves the dog house with its heated bed on the front porch of Widget's House, we gave Rosemary one of the extra dog houses we had on hand. (We had a special this week: "Adopt a dog, get a free dog house!") She wanted to give Moose the exact same set-up at her home, so she also bought a heated bed for it, too, and Moose is now enjoying his familiar accommodations at her house.
Here's a shot I took of Moose after I put him in Rosemary's truck on Tuesday morning … you can see he's resumed his morning nap, which we had so rudely interrupted a few minutes before:
And here he is at Rosemary's … one happy fellow:
For a sweet, gentle, blind boy who was abandoned on the Interstate in Montana in February a year ago … well, we couldn't think of a happier ending.
In her email yesterday, Rosemary wrote: "It is so nice to take a huge memory of the ranch back with me that will be here to stay."
Thank you so much for adopting Moose, Rosemary!
