[Villager Joyce]

Congrats. A house is not a home without a cat/dog!

[Bjeanj]

What a good looking dog! I totally understand about the shortened "waiting period". We, too had the same plans and got our sweetie sooner than planned.

[Bjeanj]

Rubicon, that WAS pretty funny!

[DonH57]

Beautiful shepherd you have there.

[Phanatic Luvr]

May you all share many years of happiness together. I'm sure Mookie is one of the lucky one.

[Lovey2]

Wow! beautiful baby! Congrats!

[Nucky]

We are so thrilled for both Mom & Dad and your new baby is Beautiful! We are so lucky that we have our animals to love so much. My wife has always wanted a Shepard, what a regal looking doggie. Great name....I only knew one other Mookie....?

[HimandMe]

Beautiful dog. He looks so intelligent in the pics!

Now I'm missing my past German Shepherd Rocky...what great dogs.

[Madelaine Amee]

Beautiful looking Mookie!, wishing you many happy years with your new companion.

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:

[Bosoxfan]

Beautiful shepherd you have there.

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

[obxgal]

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.

Congratulations, Mookie and family. I hope you have many, many wonderful years together.

What a beautiful animal. I'm jealous.

How did you ever find him?

[msendo]

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

[dotti105]

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]

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

[Schaumburger]

Mookie is quite handsome. Here's to many years of walks, treats and faithful companionship! :doggie: :thumbup:

[graciegirl]

So happy to hear. Hugs and love to all.

Very nice story. We waited five days to get Beau but it was more like five years to get Sport.

Hope your will bring him to Doggie Doo Run Run some time. There are some very nice big dogs there and some small dogs who think they are very big dogs.

[John_W]

Mookie is a Beautiful Dog. Hope you have many years of fun. We've been dogless since 2009, my wife wants a poodle, but they are impossible to find unless you have a big checkbook.

CF - your last paragraph is so accurate. Although the new pet can't and won't replace the old pet, they help heal the loss and renew the joy in your household.

:agree: Molly, the queen cat of suburban Chicago, has been greeting me at the door every day for the past 3 years just as Magic the wonder cat did for the previous 15 years.

I firmly believe pets rescue their human guardians more than we rescue them.

Mookie is a belgin malinos. My beloved max was one. We spent 14 wonderful years together. Got him at a shelter in ny.

[Junebugs]

Congratulations!!! Beautiful dog!

[CritterLover]

What a baby doll!! Congrats and blessings to you and to Mookie!!

Mookie is a Beautiful Dog. Hope you have many years of fun. We've been dogless since 2009, my wife wants a poodle, but they are impossible to find unless you have a big checkbook.

There are plenty of poodles available through rescue groups. This site alone lists 19 poodles and poodle mixes:

[URL="http://poodle.rescueme.org/Florida"]

The average price of these dogs is $200, new babies are $400. That isn't exhorbitant. Perhaps you are referring to dogs from breeders?

[Junebugs]

Rescue groups seem to be expensive ($200-$500) until you consider the options. We got our pug from Animal Control for an adoption fee of $40. However, he needed dental work which cost us over $1,000. In the end, it would have been less costly to adopt from a pug rescue group. Of course, we love our little Frankie to pieces and don't regret the costs.

[GeoGeo]

$200 is a good price for a rescued dog. A reputable rescue will makes sure the dog has all it's shots, will spay/neuter it if it isn't already, will do dental work, and will take care of any known health issues. I got a free dog once and I also got a dog for $70. Let me tell you the vet bills to get those dogs fixed, vetted, and dental work taken care was way, way more than $200. The one dog I had almost $2,000 in her in just a few months. So $200 is really a great deal unless you have a good friend or relative who is a vet.

[Bosoxfan]

We're coming up on 6 weeks with our "Mookie Monster" and couldn't be more pleased. Thank you all for your well wishes.

[FosterMomma]

Mookie you are a beauty!

[DeeMick]

I love Mookie's intelligent expression! What a beauty!
