What a Silly Name!!!

So many Humans have asked, how did I get such a strange name? Sure Humans give their dogs silly names like Fluffy, Porkchop, and Sir Wiggles. Some Humans give their cats silly names too like Squeakers, Slow Poke, and even Cha-Cha to name a few. Its even weirder when people give their animals human names like Lindsey, Victor, or Charlie. By far my favorite pet names are Jabberwoky, Shortround, Mr. Bigfoot, Co-Co Puff, Pickle Puss, and Buddy McBudweiser.

But I digress into my own bizarre thoughts. The question was how did I get my name? Well, the story goes like this... Once upon a time I was taken to the Michiana Humane Society (http://www.michianahumanesociety.org/) to be put up for adoption with my brothers and sisters.

At six weeks old I was very brave in my new environment. I frequently sat at the door to my cage and greeted the Humans who stopped by to play with me. I was very insistent that they give me attention. I was bigger than my brothers and sisters, almost twice their size. Needless to say I stood out among the crowd.

When my Humans came and found me they picked me up and held me in their arms. I gave my Dad a love bite on his ear and he had to take me home. The volunteers at the shelter were already calling me Zeus and it just kind of stuck. My humans added the Moose part because they thought I was going to be huge. 65 pounds later I am only getting plumper, but not any bigger. And that is the story of how I came to be known by such a silly name.
