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!

Christmas

Well yesterday was a big day for me. My first Christmas in my new home. My parents put out everyone's gifts under the tree. But they forgot one crucial detail -- some of the gifts contained bags of nuts. Well my parents went to church and guess what -- I found all of the nuts, opened the wrapping paper and bags the nuts were in, and ATE them. It was so good and so fun....until my stomach started hurting. Mom and Dad saw what I had done and immediately called the emergency vet. I know I was looking how I was feeling -- not very good. I spent most of the day just sleeping and hanging out. I didn't get sick, fortunately. Mom and Dad hoped I had learned my lesson but when they went out later that night, I jumped up and grabbed wooden spoons that were in the sink that had been used for chili earlier in the day. Boy was that yummy.

All in all it was a great Christmas. (Read my brother, Nevan's page, to find out that my parents forgot to get us gifts. Good grief. We are waiting for them to make it up to us.) I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas!!

December 19, 2008

This has been a big week for me!
I barked for the first time since being at my new home. My parents were so excited. I have always known I have a very authoritative (but adorable) bark -- that is why I save it for special occasions. I have figured out that humans listen to me more when I only bark when necessary. (Yes, I am a clever dog....just look at how my parents rated my intelligence!)
Also, I played with a toy for the first time since being at my new home! My good friend and crush, Sandy, brought Nevan and me a Christmas goodie bag. We both got lots of neat presents. She gave me a squeaky monkey. As soon as I heard the squeaky monkey, I was hooked. And my parents were so excited (again! Sometimes I think they need to get out more...) I still won't play with other toys though....I just really like the monkey.
