Mookie is smart, smart, smart. He communicates his needs to us and he is trying to please us more now. He is still not friendly to strangers,
but we are still working on that. We had adopted him off craigslist at 8 months, and he came with a lot of issues. He is more tolerant of strangers
if they have a dog that likes him ... if not, he gets quite dramatic.
He has a lot of
different noises that he uses to communicate his feelings, desires etc.
The picture of him with his head in my boot is him telling he wants me
to go for a walk. He puts himself on the couch, which he knows he is not supposed to be on, but he intentionally
gets in trouble when he wants something and I am not paying attention.
He came with the name Moose, but we didn't like that name however, we didn't want to change his name
too radically, since he had so much adjusting to do. So my husband Joe said, "What about “Mookie," then I googled it and it is the name of
a river in Australia. So it worked, I thought, for an Australian Shepherd. He does have a middle name Kabuki (which is a Japanese drama,
because he is so dramatic about everything). So his name becomes Mookie Kabukie! We love our quirky boy!
