I have to go to the groomers again?

Take me home with you!!

Take me home with you!!

This filthy little Cocker Spaniel is Moose, our beloved rescue dog. We rescued him from our local pound and believed he was about three years old.

Moose loved life; he was everyone's friend and a great dumpster diver!

He converted me from a sworn life-long herding dog owner to a lover of cockers.

Sadly he was killed chasing a car on Memorial Day (we never managed to unlearn that trick). We miss him terribly but still laugh at his antics and look at photos we still have of him.

The first picture is of him in the pound, looking very sorry for himself, and the second is how he looked after enjoying himself, exploring a marsh.

Because he was so dirty, my husband wanted to tie him to the roof for the drive home, and by the time we got to the car, I was as dirty as he was!

Poor Moose
by: Jenny

I'm crying while I write this. After looking at these photos of a lovely healthy, cheeky looking, Moose, I really didn't expect to read that he's been killed - how awful!

I don't think you can ever totally get over something like this - time may heal the raw wounds but your dog won't ever leave your heart.

I hope Moose has a happy time chasing cars in Rainbow Bridge where they can't hurt him!

Very Sad

Me too! I cried when I read about Moose. It's heartbreaking to lose any pet, but one as beautiful and full of personality as Moose seemed to be is tragic.

Rest in peace Moose. x
