First Hire at Our New Office
Jason and I have gotten so busy with work that we we decided to hire some help.
Moe has all the right clerical skills we need, and it turns out he’s a personal trainer too. This means we’ll get more exercise during our lunch hours. Look out New York, we’re about to get skinny.
We found Moby (Moe for short) at the ASPCA in our neighborhood. Most of the dogs there were Pit Bulls aside from a handful of strays and other little dogs that were rescued from puppy mills. Except for Moe and his brother, Max.
About eight months ago, a family adopted Moe and Max from a “breeder” in Missouri. For only $5,000 they had two “purebred Beagle” puppies on their hands. I guess Moe and Max were so noisy that the family was going to get evicted from their home. (Beagles are notoriously loud; they have three types of bark.) Long story short, the family gave up on both Moe and Max and took them to the ASPCA.
We met with Moe knowing all of these things. And while we wanted to get an older, smaller dog for our itty bitty apartment, we realized that healthy, little ol’ dogs are hard to come by here. Plus, Moe is just so darn cute, how could we say no?
They tell us that Moe is a Beagle-Basset Hound mix. And while his breed and his history tell us that he’s going to be a noisy booger, I haven’t heard him bark yet. No, really. A little bit a whining for the first five-minutes in his kennel, but otherwise, he’s super duper quiet. And cute, of course.
Adorable! Congratulation on the new “help”, he looks perfect!
Nice Dog! He’s really cute. I’m sure he will play well with Hudson and Maddy!
Thanks Cathie and thanks Katlynn! Can’t wait for you both to meet him.
Moe is adorable–son-in-law not too bad either!!!
I still say you are both crazy! Is that new helper coming to Florida?
Good one, mom! And Mark, not sure about Florida. I think he’d be too terrified of Mickey.
