Supposing I have a dog

my $dog = DOG->new; Then later I decide my dog is in fact a labrador. I could do bless $dog, 'LABRADOR';

which (i think) would be fine as LABRADOR inherits from DOG

but Moose has things like

has color => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Str', default => 'golden')

If I simply bless my $dog into LABRADOR then he won't be golden. How can I resolve this situation?

(I guess what I'm really asking is - is there a way to change the class of an object that already exists under Moose? Or perhaps this is not the done thing?)
