I am the cat CoCo. Moxie aka Jackie showed up at the house about 6 weeks ago, she was well received by all. Marley (the brown lab) and I were the most cordial. The two feral cats actually showed up to receive her. This is most out of character.
Moxie has found her way into the hearts of the Fertigs and their beds. She still retreats to her crate by day but once out in the evening she is either on the couch or on a bed. Rockie the cat shares a pillow with her in bed.
Moxie has not resumed her Ball game but has picked up swimming and watching ice hockey. I think this is because the Carolina team was making a run for it. Moxie’s favorite friend in the family is, me, CoCo. I too am a rescue as my previous family had dark colored furniture and rugs and could not stand the shedding. Jane and John do not seem to mind this as their vacuum, a Hoover, seems to work overtime. Perhaps they are making a commercial.
Moxie has met all the grown children and only grandchild and seems to have wormed her way in to their hearts.
She has tried swimming in the Ocean with success and she has mastered the parameters of the yard. She and Marley (our chocolate lab age 8) trot around the yard in search of new smells and maybe a deer, rabbit or opossum. They have not actually come face to face with any of these.
Moxie learned her new name and parameters of the yard quickly. She definitely wants to fit in to this family and has. Jane is amazed that anyone would want to relinquish such a fine dog but she is so happy that they did. Moxie has fit in to our family and life style.
One extra Avery, the granddaughter was greeted by Moxie with a kiss. Avery’s mother was impressed at how gentle Moxie was. Her mother is a cat person and thought that a new dog might eat her young, obviously ridiculous.
I am attaching photos, use what you want, and enjoy the others. We love Moxie and are so very glad she is part of our family.
