Dog Reese is excited about his new home. Especially because one detail is finally right. The move also went smoothly.
This is really too good to be true. Have you ever experienced that feeling when a long-held wish finally comes true and you can hardly imagine that it has actually happened? That's exactly what happens to a couple from Texas, Erin Ramirez and Joseph Brennan. But not just them: their Australian Shepherd Reese shares this feeling. They've been waiting for this moment for months and couldn't be happier.
Dog discovers best part of house
The couple took Reese in as a puppy when they both lived in an apartment in an apartment building. But it wasn't easy with the puppy, the two remember in an interview with
Newsweek
. Daily walks were long to give the young dog enough exercise, and the lack of a yard made housetraining the puppy a tedious task.
But then the day came when her fate changed. After 14 months of patience, they finally found their dream home - a place where Reese can now enjoy the luxury of her own garden. When they showed him his new home for the first time and saw him rushing through the garden, their happiness was complete. They captured on video how much the dog Reese was happy about the green oasis outdoors and published the clip on

Tips for a smooth move with your dog
If you are a dog owner and are about to move, here are some tips for you. In addition to packing boxes and dismantling furniture, there are important tasks to do and things to consider.
Before moving: If
you are renting a property, discuss bringing in a dog with the landlord in advance. If you move to another city, municipality or another federal state, check the rules for keeping dogs there.
Don't forget to find a new veterinarian if necessary.
Dogs can be calm when packing boxes, but be careful that they cannot injure themselves. There should be no dangerous objects lying around that could harm your dog.
On moving day:
It is advisable to place the dog with familiar people to protect him from too much stress. If that's not possible, supervise him or ask someone to look after him. Don't forget to register your dog with Tasso, the central pet registry for Germany, or update its details so that you can be reached in an emergency.
After the move:
Let your dog settle into his new surroundings slowly and offer him familiar places to lie down and toys. In general, your four-legged friend should only move in once his usual things are in the new home. The usual food can also help your four-legged friend to settle in quickly. Begin to gradually reintroduce alone time until your dog feels safe and comfortable being home alone. Once their people and things arrive in their new home, dogs usually adapt quickly.
