Well, folks, it’s been almost two weeks since Moose, our adorable yellow Lab puppy, joined our family, and let me tell you, it’s been a whirlwind. We’ve been focusing mainly on potty training, and Moose is doing his best to get the hang of it. Every time he gets it right, we cheer like we’ve just won the lottery. And when he doesn’t, well, let’s just say the paper towel company loves us.
Adjusting to his new home and family has been another adventure. Moose is curious about every nook and cranny of our house. The living room? His playground. The kitchen? His buffet. And don’t get me started on the garden – that’s his personal jungle.
We’ve also been working on leash training, which, if I’m honest, has been more like a daily game of tug of war. Moose seems to think the leash is some sort of fancy chew toy. Walks often turn into hilarious battles, with Moose pulling one way and us the other. Neighbors must think we’re practicing some strange new form of dance.
On the brighter side, Moose has already mastered a couple of commands. In the video above, you can see him sit like a champ and stay about 90% of the time. It’s that last 10% where his stubborn streak shines through. But hey, nobody’s perfect, right?
The command “Come” is where we’re hitting a bit of a roadblock. It’s arguably the most important command for his safety, but Moose seems to have selective hearing. “Come” apparently translates to “Run in the opposite direction as fast as you can” in puppy language. We’re working on it, though. Baby steps!
All things considered, Moose is doing great with his obedience training. He’s only ten weeks old and has been with us for less than two weeks, so we’re really proud of his progress. He’s already become a loving member of our family, each of us bonding with him in our own special way.
Moose is incredibly intelligent, but boy, is he stubborn. Fits right in with our family dynamic! From turning our lives upside down to making us laugh every day, Moose is already an irreplaceable part of our home. Here’s to more adventures, more laughs, and hopefully fewer paper towels.
