Almost a year ago, my wife and I had been married for about 6 months. We were still getting settled into our new life together when she suggested that we should get a dog. I wasn't prepared for this idea at all. We were renting an apartment at the time, and on the third floor too. I liked our simple life, though at times it was getting a bit boring. Despite my apprehensions, we started looking for a new pet. Unfortunately, Christmas had just passed and dogs were in short supply. We checked the pound and Humane Society and only found dogs that our apartment wouldn't allow. I had given up hope but my wife wouldn't budge and kept looking. We eventually ended up at a local pet shop where they only had two dogs available. A Lhasa Apso and a Pomeranian. We did a quick search on our phones about the breeds and settled on the Lhasa who regardless was irresistibly adorable. We took him home that night. I was still apprehensive. My wife was delighted.
From there began months of training, frustration, online research, and worst of all, housebreaking. Luckily, it took the dog about 3 days to win my heart over. He was nothing but a furry bundle of energy... a tiny little furball. We decided to name him Moose. At the time we were thought it was funny because of his size.
Moose has grown into a proud, healthy dog who can still spend hours each day playing, if only he can find someone who will give him some attention. He is an incredible companion for both of us and started a passion for learning more about his very unique breed. From that passion comes this blog. Check back often for more about the incredible Lhasa Apso, and more about Moose.
