There’s a new lady in my life. She’s a little bit smelly and she occasionally poops on the floor and she has a beard. Meet Moria, my sweet new doggie:

Moria & me!
I adopted Moria just over a week ago. She’s a year and a half old, so she’s mostly house trained, but she’s still got a fair amount of that puppy playfulness that’s so fun. She’s predominantly Brussels Griffon, although she’s listed as a mix on her adoption papers. But that adorable beard and those big, expressive eyes are pure Brussels Griffon!
I’ve been intending to adopt a pup for a couple of months now. My frequent visits to the local Humane Society proved fruitless, but when I saw this sweet girl bashfully staring at me when I stopped by an adoption clinic at PetSmart, I was instantly taken with her calm demeanor and charmingly silly appearance. I think she looks like an Ewok; others say she’s more akin to a Wookiee. Whatever Star Warsian species she resembles, she’s just plain cute… especially when she’s panting:

Pantyface.
If you’re wondering why I named her after something from Middle Earth and not the Star Wars universe, well, female Ewok names are awful! And she’s a bit like a Dwarf, what with the beard and all, so I thought Moria was pretty fitting. The jury’s still out on her middle name, however, so feel free to share suggestions!

Post-walk tiredness.
Expect to see more of my girl’s bearded face in upcoming posts, and check back soon for a giveaway!
Congratulations, Mommy! She’s so beautiful, and I love the name. So, are you baking her treats yet? :)

Thanks! And I haven’t baked her treats yet, but I’m very excited to do so. I might have to include dog treats in one of my MoFo posts… hehehe.

Moria’s a sweet little thing, even if she does look like a cross between an ewok and a wookie, and I like the name…you can call her Morie for short…or of course Pantyface or Sweetiepie or whatever else comes to mind. Congratulations!
