Likes: Going for walks, bully sticks, catching ice cream that his dad spits at him, playing with a weasel in the wood pile, licking the beaters.
Pet-Peeves: Baths , getting porcupine quills pulled out(twice!) and toenail trimming and getting in trouble- which rarely happens

Favorite Food: Moose, beef, salmon, cheese, dried liver treats, bully sticks, milkbones, buttered popcorn, carrots, zucchini, snap peas and beets.
Favorite Walk: Anywhere
Best Tricks: Hand shake and getting the newspaper and barking with hand signals and carrying in the mail sometimes.
Arrival Story: Mom put an add in the paper that read "looking for puppy that will be 40-60 lbs. when grown". A man said he was bringing a litter of pups to the grocery store to try and find homes for them. When mom and dad got there they chose me from the box of puppies because I was the most friendly. Mom was told that my mom was 60 lbs. I weigh a little over 90 lbs. I guess I take after my dad who is wolf hound, husky and wolf. Oh , and I have 1 ear up and 1 ear down- very adorable mom says! Mom here: When we got Bonzer home I went to the calendar to record his birth date and found out he was born on the day we buried our beloved "Muffy" who lived 16 1/2 yrs. Amazing! The "wonder dog" term comes from some unusual things he has done like finding a raw chicken egg on a walk with his dad (no : ) he did'nt raid a chicken house ) and carried it home without breaking it and gave it to me and I cooked it for him. He also swam out and grabbed the rope on the boat when it drifted away and brought it back to shore! So... his grandpa would say "what's Bonzer the wonder dog done lately? "
Bio: His name means terrific in Australia. His hobbies include but are not limited too; keeping the yard free of moose (almost impossible!) and getting the newspaper. He has a very sweet disposition and loves meeting new dogs. He's also a great sport and puts up with being dressed as a dog salmon for parades.
Forums Motto: I'm a good boy!
Dad and I have been playing on our pond almost every day now that the ice is thick enough. He skates and I do my best to catch him. I accidently chomped his hand though, so after that he got a rope for me to bite and chase after. He was whirling it around to throw and whacked me in the ear making me yelp, so we were both a little worse for wear when we came in the house. I got more sympathy from mom than dad did though ; )
Today a bull moose walked all around the pond looking for open water but didn't find any. You could tell he was real thirsty. We don't have any snow yet either for him to eat. Mom felt bad for him and hopes he finds some open water somewhere. It warmed up tonight and is raining now so that should help.
Last night mom was giving me a treat and noticed my lips were all red and swollen and hanging down. She did what a lot of mothers do sometimes- she freaked out! :))
The support and caring from other Dogsters helped put her at ease and after a trip to the vet and a shot in the butt today, we're both feeling much better.
Mom has learned it's not necessarily the end of the world if a bee stings me and gives me fat lips ; )
A muskrat is in my pond and it's teasing me! It pokes it's head up and slaps the water then dives. I jump in and swim all around looking for it but I never can see it until I get back out on the shore and it pokes it's head up again. It reminds mom of those carnival games where the critter pops it's head up and you try to bop it! :))
