More of the Moores: Moosey & Diezel

So yesterday I got up at 6:15 in the morning.. We had to be at church at 8am. Then we picked up Moose from Cookeville. Yes we are keeping his name Moose. It really fits him. I just call him Moosey. When he hoped out of the car it was like seeing Diezel in a different body. They look so much like twins except for their coat and color. As soon as we got into the car Diezel already showed who was boss. Luckily we had Bobby's SUV. Diezel had backed his rear end to the opening between the front seats and faced Moose to make sure Moose could not get to us. It was hilarious. It was a little stressful at first because they were trying to establish dominance. It was just loud and made stress out but I had to let them do it. Diezel won of course. He seems to be a lot stronger and a lot more experience play fighting with other dogs. We ended up all taking a nap because we were all so exhausted from the day. The boys and I took a walk last night as well. It was so easy walking both of them. Moose is professionally leash trained so he is a breeze to walk. Diezel had his gentle leader on so he was a breeze as well. They both seemed to enjoy it.

Today wasn't as bad. Obviously it is going to take all of us some time to get used to each other. The boys were getting a long much better today. They were playing and stealing the balls and bones from each other. They are wearing themselves out. They have to take break cause they play so hard. I scheduled Moose to get neutered on Monday. He tried to mark our furniture twice luckily we caught him and scared him to death. It will also help Diezel in his dominance. He also had an accident but luckily he ran to go potty on the tile luckily just pee. He had to go. We aren't just used to each other schedules.

AJ is loving having both of them. He is helping me out already so much more. Diezel already had a bath this evening and when AJ gets home he will give Moose a bath! He is also doing some more training with both of them. Like keeping them out of the kitchen, keeping them away from the table while we are eating, waiting for the humans to go in and out of the door first, and fixing Moose's jumping habits.

Moose is such a sweetheart. All he does is want to be loved and do anything for you. He finally learned that he was allowed to get on the couch and bed when asked. He fell asleep sitting up with his head in my lap while I was working today! Well that is enough for today. Thanks for reading...
