Hi, I'm Moose
Also known as Mr. Moose and, for reasons only the family understands, Pikachu. I'm a male English Yellow Labrador Retriever (AKC), born in March 2024.
How I got my name
Leigh-Ann picked it. Take one look at how big I was going to get and you'll see why.
The day we met
I came home on May 27, 2024 from Pacheco Kennels in Raynham, Massachusetts. When the family came to meet me, I broke away from another family, climbed straight into Leigh-Ann's lap and started licking her face. Some dogs pick their people. I picked mine.
Why this blog exists
The family started A Dog Named Moose so we could watch me grow up, and to help anyone dealing with the same questions and worries we've been through with a Lab.
All about Moose
🌪️ Signature move
Grab a toy in my mouth and spin in a circle like a tornado. Stand back.
🧸 Always with me
My blanket. It goes wherever I go, and I carry it myself.
🎾 Favorite toy
Any ball, but a tennis ball is the best. None has survived me for more than 60 seconds.
🍽️ Favorite food
Yes. Whatever you're having, I will eat it. That's why Moose's Kitchen exists.
🛋️ Favorite spot
The loveseat or the couch, preferably with my blanket.
🧹 Public enemy
The vacuum cleaner. I do not trust it.
💛 Best friend
One special family friend. Mention the name and I get excited, whine and rush to the front window with my nose pressed to the glass.

My pack
I live with Mark, Leigh-Ann, Ashleigh and Jessica. They feed me, walk me and put up with the tornado.
