Moose!

After years of wanting a puppy we finally got one! Friday, Steve went to Martin, Michigan and picked up our new puppy, Moose.

Why Moose? Well, he's a great dane! YES. We know he'll be big. YES We know that means big messes. The way I look at it. If they are big, they are easier to see and less likely to step on.

After people get over asking the questions about his size and messes, they fall in LOVE with him. He's super sweet, very cuddly, and makes cute little groaning noises.

He's definitely man's best friend. Shortly after this picture, Steve woke him up and he had a little accident on Steve. Ooops! Maybe it was Steve and he just blamed it on the dog. :)

Isn't he sweet? I love those long, soft ears. He sleeps alllll the time.

Our favorite kids, the Feasels, were over all weekend hanging out with him. We're glad Steve has so many cousins around that can help him get used to kids.

The Feasels brought a teddy bear for Moose to cuddle with. He loves it.

Steve snapped this while Moose and I were taking a nap. What a great cuddler!

We decided to use Steve's target in the backyard to track how big he is getting. This is him at 9 weeks. One day, he will be bigger than the deer!

He was very shy and nervous on Friday and Saturday, but today we took him to meet Yankee, Steve's parents' puppy, and he had lots of fun playing with him. We also took him to his grandparents' farm to play with all of the cousins. He had so much fun running through the tall grass, barking at the cows, and jumping on Steve's cousins. Now, he is exhausted and sleeping in in crate.
