Same Personality?

I'm not sure if Moose was born with these personality traits, if previous life situations shaped him this way or if he is simply taking on the personality of his new family. Either way, we are a noticing that there are several similarities between us and Moose. It is quite humorous for us to observe. Most of the time we first think- why in the world would he do such a thing? And then after a moment of pondering, we realize that we, in that situation, would have done the very same thing.

General observations:

• He doesn't like to change his schedule. Once it is set, he is happy to keep it that way. That is identical to me- Becky.
• He is very resistant to change, if he is inside the house- let's stay inside the house. If we are outside- why go inside? Just getting him to cross over the threshold to the new place is sometimes a challenge, but once he is there, he loves it! This is Brad.
• He groans and snores. It is so cute right now. We just chuckle when he does it. It is still soft enough that we can still watch tv or speak over it without interruption, but who knows how that will be when he puts on another 100+ lbs. I'll let you try to decide which one of us does this on a more regular basis. hehe
• He gets cranky at the end of a long day when he hasn't had enough rest or has been out of his routine. That is especially true with me, but also some with Brad. I think that Brad is better at faking his good mood than Moose or I are.
• He loves to be with us. For the most part he is content to be in the same room with us. He likes to just be a part of the family. Brad and I both are like this. We enjoy just being together and doing life with each other.
• He is easily distracted. Again, you can decided on which one of us this applies to. :-)

On a side note- how is it possible that I still shed more than a dog?? I'm not complaining. This helps me keep the house clean and not feeling like we are living in a dog's house. But really, me more than a dog? ho hum. Can't have everything I guess.
Should we expect him to continue to become more like us? Hopefully not with the shedding.
