Moses, our wonderful dog who worked at the shop as a greeter
died early Sunday morning while his people were asleep where
he has slept since we got him 2 years ago, at the foot of
our bed. He was only 6. He came to us from a local rescue
being a soft coated Wheaton/Sharpei cross and fit right in
to our lives and loved his work. He never met a human or
another dog he didn't like except for the UPS man for some
reason. It didn't matter where he saw a UPS truck he barked
at it. One of the few things he barked at. He was suppose to
get his summer hair cut Monday.
He knew what human words treat, go to work, and bath meant.
I doubt we will ever have another dog that responded to,
"let's take a bath" by going down the hall and waiting by
the tub, then jumping in when I got there. He knew when it
was time to go home also and would pester me if I didn't
agree. He wouldn't drink bowl water if it had floaties in it
and would not eat anything that didn't smell somewhat like
meat. Sometimes a customer would sit in "his" chair in the
waiting area and he would curl up in the chair beside them
and nap. Until the customer got up then he reclaimed his
chair. As mentioned, he didn't like the UPS man and we put a
fence up between the two counters so he couldn't get out
front, that home depot black bar fence with a gate and
latch. Of course, he quickly learned how to open the gate.
We have so many pictures and movies with him in them and for
those we are thankful. Molly and Romeo, our miniature
schnauzers are helping to fill the void but this golden boy
is missed terribly. He had quite a following among our
customers also. We had two customers this morning that had
their dogs with them to play with Moses.
I just wanted to share a small part of him. I know you know
why.
