My other son, Early

The magnificent Mr. Moose

I don't expect a non-dog lover to understand this...but this is one awesome dog. He's smart and sweet and huge and loyal. We took him in with some trepidation, but he quickly became one of the gang. Even if Bertie wanted him back, I don't think we'd let him go. We've all bonded. Mike even calls him "son." Mal was a little miffed at how easily he was replaced. Let this be a lesson to adult children everywhere--you are not irreplaceable! I think I prefer animals to people...in fact I'm sure of it. The older I get, the less I like people.
