After we adopted Goldie we decided to call her Moxie. She is so calm and relaxed! She settled in to our routine without any issues. Moxie gets along great with her new roomies – we have two other dogs and the cat, formerly known as Weaver, also adopted from your shelter.
As far as sleeping goes, the only trouble Moxie has is which bed to snuggle in. She seems to prefer my younger son’s bed during the day and holes up with my older son in his room as soon as he gets home from work. This has been an excellent match, as my older son lost his big ol’ hunting dog to Epilepsy a few years ago and it’s been tough to fill that hole in his heart. So this has been very healing.
