A Family Guy Turns Four

I love watching families — and kids — grow! Today we get a report from Moonshadow Wally who has seen both the size and number of kids increase in his past four years ❤️ Samantha shares:

“Wally has maintained his number one position on the world’s best puppy list!

He is our very own “good dog Carl”, and is as gentle as can be with his new(ish) little sister Coco.

They share more treats and toys and Wally gets more slobbery kisses and mostly gentle pets than any puppy could ever wish for. :) 

Wally is gentle and well behaved and will do just about anything for a crunchy peanut butter treat. He has a fabulous recall and will come running the second someone shouts his name from the front door and follows with the word “crunnnnnnnchhhy”. 

He still doesn't particularly love baths, but is always a very good boy for the groomer. He puts himself to bed by 8pm every single night and will make sure to remind you to feed him lunch if you’re even a minute past noon! He thinks he’s a human and still tries to sit on my husband Matt’s lap when he’s on the floor. He also occasionally sits in our living room chairs like a distinguished gentleman. ;) 

Wally is the very best dog and the love he shows us makes our lives better every single day. We are forever grateful for this puppy and all he has given to us over the last 4 years!

Thank you to every member of Wally’s perfect family! HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALLY!!!!

Montana Moonshadow Update

The Moonshadow Birthday Party continues with this update from Megan about the magical Merlin:

“Merlin is great!  He continues to relish in his role as a family dog in the mountains for Montana. 

He is an excellent assistant for me in my home office, always providing moral support and the occasional cameo in my Zoom meetings! 

He is adored by his human brother and sister and they take very good care of him. 

He still absolutely loves hikes, walks and the snow!  He’s always ready to go adventuring outside. 

Wishing all the Moonshadows a very happy 4th birthday and a healthy year!”

What a beautiful life Merlin gets to enjoy ❤️ Thank you, Megan, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MERLIN !!! 🎉

Moonshadow Porter Has a Birthday!

Today we catch up on another Idaho Moonshadow — Porter.

Mike and Patty share:

“Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday we were picking up this beautiful little guy and bringing him to his new family.

Porter is a wonderful kid that barks to much, sheds to much, drools to much but that makes him all Berner.

We love him soooo much and can't even imagine not seeing his happy face greeting us at the side of the bed every morning. 

It's unreal the intelligence and personality that seems to come with all of the Berners. Porter likes to tap my arm or leg to get my attention so I can perform my Dad duties: pet me, let me out , I need a hug, let Micah out (our Lab), let Micah in, and the all important feed me!

Of course all of these come with a different look on his cute freckled face.

He loves walks with Mom at home and our cabin.

Oh I can't forget his bear hugs that he gives to both of us whether the time is right or not.

Happy Birthday Moonshadows!”

It is so wonderful to see all the happy lives these dogs are living — thank you Mike, Patty, and Micah for sharing your home with Porter 💙

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PORTER!!! 🎂
