Moose's Musings

Yipee!

Good news friends -- no real injury for me! I just must have stepped on my paw funny or something. But the vet checked me out and I am good to go. Woo hoo. Hopefully we'll get back to our normal patrols of the neighborhood soon.

In other news, I have a new favorite place -- Mom and Dad's bed. I can tell they don't really like it when I get on the bed without "being invited" first but you know what? -- they never get mad or anything. They just call me a "silly Moose." It makes me laugh inside. And the bed is super comfortable. It is making Nevan crazy too! Sometimes he jumps on the bed and he doesn't know I am already up there and boy -- does he get rattled! It's great. He usually stays up there -- just on principle probably -- but you can tell that he is surprised and annoyed.

Have a great weekend my friends!

Ouch!

Well friends, I think I have hurt myself. Everything has been fine. I have gone on regular walks and jogs and have loved every minute of it. I mean, come on -- who doesn't love exploring the neighborhood, pretending to stalk squirrels and cats, marking your territory, and sniffing out other animals. Love it.

But today, Mom was walking me. Really slowly. And all of a sudden something went wrong with my right hind leg. I have been uncomfortable all day.

Of course Mom was super concerned. She and Dad have been in touch with the vet. I am not sure what was said but I can tell from the way they are baby-ing me and being so extra-attentive that I am probably going to that dreadful place tomorrow.....oh yes, my friends, the vet's office. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Woof!

Anyway, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow -- I think I need it. I feel fine -- other than my leg. And the good news is I have three other legs. So many other pups have it a LOT worse than me. Still, as selfish as it may be, I hate being hurt. And I hate going to the vet.

Moose.

P.S. I think I overheard Mom and Dad I may not be able to have breakfast tomorrow because of the vet -- I am going to be SOOOO hungry!

P.P.S. In case any of you were wondering, Mom and Dad STILL haven't given us any Christmas presents. Another BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Happy New Year! Woof! Woof!

Happy New Year!

This past week Mom and Dad went out of town. I stayed with my good friend and crush, Sandy. There were three other dogs there with me. Two are my friends on Dogster (Harley and Brittany). You will have to check them out. Anyway we had a really good time but....I was up to my old antics again. I chewed up/shredded part of Sandy's carpet in her bedroom. I know, I know -- bad boy behavior. But here is the thing -- I was just bored. That's all -- and I wanted to get out of the bedroom and play. Sometimes I am so misunderstood!

Sandy was not mad at all (I think Mom and Dad might have been a little upset when they found out but they haven't said anything to me about it). Sandy is really nice.

I am happy to be home though -- don't tell Nevan but I really missed him. He has been pretty nice since I got home. He has only swatted at me once. I think he may have missed me too. And of course, I missed Mom and Dad.

I am still working on resolutions for 2009. Mom and Dad always tell me how handsome, sweet, and wonderful I am so maybe my resolution will just to keep being Moose.

Have a woof-derful week!
