Mouse is not quite Moose yet but he is getting there!

Sweet, tired Royce

I don't have the words to discribe the joy this video brings to me. It was worth every sleepless moment to be able to see him living a normal, happy life just like every other puppy in a home who adores him.

Update on Royce: He is now a whooping 20 pounds which is an average weight for a Golden Retriever puppy at his age. Best news yet is that his soft palate cleft seems to have shrunk so that it is hardly noticable and his new vet believes he should not have any issues with it!!!
