Moe is doing great. I have had him for four months and he has really settled in. He has a big red bone which he carries everywhere. He has been to the groomers twice with no problems - he likes to bring his bone with him. Weather permitting, we walk daily and he is very friendly with any neighbors we meet along the way. He does get excited when he sees other dogs or deer although not in an aggressive way. Over time I expect he will get used to seeing them and will be no big deal.
