@Libbylee721 I'm so sorry for your loss

[Rocket Sturgeon @SturgeonRocket]

The internet is a big place and I don't have anywhere near the reach to do him justice, but today was the last day for the very best dog in the world. I wish you could have met Moose, he would have loved you all.

One year we built raised garden beds and filled them halfway with yard debris before putting a layer of dirt and plants on top. Moose noticed a branch poking out of the dirt and spent the entire rest of the summer joyfully digging up the entire bed until he had liberated every. single. stick.

One summer our yard was overrun with big toads. He had a great time following them around. Eventually he learned he could get high by licking them. We'd find him stumbling into things with a big grin and dilated pupils, and have to keep him inside until he sobered up. He particularly enjoyed watching nature documentaries while he was tripping.

@kowalat Thank you. I'm so sorry for your loss, too. If good dogs could live for a century, it still wouldn't be enough.

@BoxerSnout @SaraGonzalesTX Thank you.

@scottsdotts I'm so sorry. I'm glad they can both have a friend.

He looked like this in happier times.

@WingenfeldDiane At our old house, he insisted on sleeping in the bathroom. I never understood why until he woke me up one night because there was a prowler in the back yard. Turns out laying under the bathroom window was the one place he could hear everything happening outside.

@mgreenwa Thanks. He definitely gave us both.

@KariLikeSafari He was absolutely incorrigible about climbing onto beds whenever he thought nobody was looking. One time I forgot my work badge and had to circle back home, only to find him laying on my bed, snuggling into my sleeping wife's back!

A recipe for a dog that could have charmed even @AnEriksenWife.

[Rocket Sturgeon @SturgeonRocket]

If anyone wants to make a killing on the optimal designer dog mix, the magic formula is 48% pyrenees, 25% rottweiler, 12.5% golden retriever, 6.25% labrador retriever, 6.25% standard poodle, and 2% wolf.

[Rocket Sturgeon @SturgeonRocket]

@jenbrinkm Indeed. He was one of a kind.

[Rocket Sturgeon @SturgeonRocket]

@BeckySpooner1 He claimed an old armchair with a good view as his particular spot. He never really fit, with his head hanging off one side and his tail hanging off the other, but he made it work out of sheer stubbornness.
