Luna (en espanol "Moon")

This is an "old" addition to our family back in June. Her name is Luna, but because she looked like a black bear when we got her, we commonly call her "Luna Bear". She was given to us when friends of ours found out that we had picked out a puppy at an animal shelter here in Costa Rica for the kids. When we went to pick up that puppy from the shelter, she was no where to be found. Our hearts were broken because we had picked out a name for her, paid for her initial shots, and even bought her a collar. We are not exactly sure what "really" happened to her. Luna was living in our friends housing development with her mother and her brother. Unfortunately, her brother has since been killed by a car. Luna has a strong personality and it is hard to break her of her "old" habits of living on the street, like she still loves to "pick the trash" and if she gets loose you can pretty much bet your in for a long walk to try and get her back, like to the next town! Like with all "puppies" she views me more for play and Ken as her disciplinarian. Thus, when Ken leaves the house, she goes crazy jumping on the furniture and when I try to get her off, she barks at me and thinks I am playing! We often tell her that she doesn't need her BIG EARS since she doesn't listen anyways! Most of the time, Luna is just sweet and fun. In fact, the friends who gave her to us say her biggest problem is that she is "rotten"...from being loved! That's not a bad thing, right?
