Thanks for asking. First off Mookie is a 14 month old Belgian Malinois. He was being trained to work with border patrol in Texas but was found to have too sweet of a personality for the job.He has some training and is very good on leash. In fact if either my wife are walking him and another dog or jogger or bicycle goes by we put him in the sit position and he stays there until they pass. Yesterday we had him neutered and he's doing good. Once he is fully recovered we will be taking him for some more extensive training. Although Bonyta will live forever in our hearts we've found there is plenty of room for our new guy also!!:mademyday:

Yes he is beautiful. Thanks I can understand your thinking he was a shepherd but he's a Belgian Malinois.

Congratulations! Mookie is one beautiful dog.
So happy you and your wife found him and I'm
sure he'll be a wonderful addition to your family.
He's one lucky dog to have parents like you.

Mookie has a great story (and a great name!), and now a great home. I still get heart-tugs over our 20-year-old cat who died in 1990. Every single pet takes a little piece of you with it. But we've always found room for the next one, who actually helps redirect our sense of loss.

Sometimes it's a case of "I'm going to strangle this puppy/kitten/bird/whatever before he reaches age one!" But I personally believe in the healing benefits of getting a new pet sooner rather than later.

I thought you added a bathroom or bedroom.

What a beautiful animal. I'm jealous.

How did you ever find him?

Awwwww- what a precious face! Maybe Mookie will meet Monkey-(my German Shepherd). Congratulations and enjoy your new family member.

dotti105 07-08-2016 07:09 PM

I thought we had seen you pass by with a new "friend". We meant to stop you and meet him, but always missed you on the way back. He is very handsome. He is a lucky guy!

BobandMary 07-08-2016 08:24 PM

What a great looking dog! I just googled the breed to learn more about it. We wish you the best!
