Moe, stretched out on her couch, sleeping

Here is Moe, queen of our house. Moe was an abandoned street dog we took in over 12 years ago. We think she was about 1 year old when we rescued her, making her 13 now. As queen, Moe sleeps wherever she wants to.

(Fortunately, she’s too short to jump up on the bed, or that last sentence wouldn’t be true. I let a dog sleep on the bed — once — and that was one time too many.)

She looks to be part Australian Cattle Dog, maybe. The other parts, who knows.

We actually took in three abandoned dogs at the same time and named them Curly, Larry and Moe. Curly and Larry were brothers (black and white mixed breed) but weren’t related to Moe. Curly and Larry have died, leaving us with Moe as our only non-Labrador.
