Happy New Year

Hey, Its Dozer! November's nice weather spoiled me and now I'm growling at these low temps. We got a little snow for Christmas and I thought that was pretty cool but overall I'm not a big fan of cold weather. Dad's been lighting the fireplace for me and I've decided it much warmer to sleep between mom and dad at night so I've managed to keep myself warm one way or another.

I got a few new toys I want to tell you about, but I want some good pictures to share so I'll tell you about them later this week. I know, two posts in one month? Are you serious!??

Check back in a few days. Till then, here's a pic of my little/older sis keeping warm.

Moose kisses!

Winter? Whats that?

Hey yall,

Its mid November and the weather's great. I keep waiting for it to get cold so dad will light the fireplace. I love to lay in front of the fireplace, ya know. Since the weather is so nice and dad isnt using all that firewood I like to get logs off the woodpile and scatter them around the yard. Dad took the oppertunity this weekend to play some fetch and take a couple pictures.

Its my birthday!

Its my birthday, its my birthday!! Okay, well not yet, but almost! I still act like a puppy so its hard to imagine, that in a few days I’ll be two years old.

It’s rainy around here right now and I don’t like the rain. I think we’ve had more rain in the last month than we’ve had all year. The yard is normally flooded and my big feet soak up the mud and water like four giant sponges. That’s only after mom coaxes me out into the yard to take care of business. I’m normally good about getting my feet cleaned off after trudging through the mud, unless Hayden is close by and then I want to act like a fool.

I’m an extremist when it comes to the temperature. In the summer I want to lay in the sun for a little bit then go stick my head in front of the air conditioner. Now that its getting cooler I want dad to turn on the bathroom heater in the morning so I can lay in front of it. I don’t like sharing the heater either. I’m a big boy, I should get my own heater right? I hope it cools down even more real soon. I love to lay in front of the fireplace but dad says its not cold enough yet to light a fire. I cant wait!

Halloween is almost here. Dad keeps threatening to dress me up like one of the Chickfila cows. Someone please talk some sence into him. I’m not a cow, I’m a moose!

I’m going to go snuggle up with my mom. Until next time, big slobbery moose kisses!

Some random stuff

Last night mom said something that was pretty funny. When I go to bed I like to sleep on moms side of the bed, sometimes right on top of mom if I can get away with it. Anyways, I do this little dance where I spin around on the foot of the bed. I almost always lay the same way I do this mostly to annoy dad so he cant see the TV. So while I was spinning last night mom says "Oh boy, its moose flipping time. I get a fifty-fifty chance here. Will I get heads or tails?" She got tails! Nothing like a big moose butt pointing at you to make your evening.

Maybe it was funnier if you were there?

One night last week I found a really tasty chew toy while mom and dad were sleeping. It had lots of business card in it which I didn't find too nummy so I just scattered across the bedroom. I mainly liked the corners and cover of this toy. I chewed it up pretty good. I thought I did a nice job but mom wasnt as pleased as I thought she would be. It turned out okay though. The bank accepted the paycheck that I slobbered and chewed on and dad gave her a new wallet. I've never had a wallet chew toy before, I wonder if I can get another one of those? It was good!

I'll get ya some pics soon.

Moose kisses,

Another weigh in.

I had a bumpy on my ear that wouldnt go away so I had an excuse to go see my friends at the Vet and get weighed while I was there. The scale jumped to 140 then settled at 138. Mom says that cutting my food back has started to slim me up a bit but the doc said I still have some love handles and I'm still getting broader. I'm just big boned!

My bump turned out to be an in grown hair or some-such. After the doc took a sample mom picked at and finally popped it. She said it was very gross and I didn't like her messing with it but I got lots of carrots and cookies so I didn't care too much. After going to the doctor I got to go meet some of moms friends and their kids. I was real gentle with the little boy and acted very shy.

For dads birthday, he and mom stayed home with me for four days. It was like it was my birthday. We got to lay around and watched movies, took lots of naps, but I only got to watch when they ate lots of good food and drank lots of good wine. I tried to eat some of moms soup but it was too hot and I wasnt fast enough, she caught me!

I'm doing good and the doc said I needed to start getting less allergy meds. He said I'm looking great and he's hoping I can be weened off of the meds for the Winter. Hopefully that will help me shed some of my fluffiness too.

I'll steal moms phone when she's not looking and get a pic for you soon.

Moose kisses,

Dozer

Texas Heat

Hey ya'll. Sorry for the crummy picture. My dad is too busy to take some new pics of me so I just snapped a pic with mom's phone. She was home sick and I was laying on her while she was sleeping (surely that will make her feel better right?).

Anyway, its August and way too hot for a big ol Boreboel like me here in Texas. Dad tells me my blood line is from Africa and I should be okay in the heat. I've got sensitive skin! Come on! I need my A/C and some soft blankies. Heck, I'd rather just lay on mom's bed or better yet mom.

Not much new going on. My allergies dont seem to be bothering me. I'm getting lots of love, drooling all over the house, and watching over my family. Same 'ol, same 'ol.

Thanks for checking in on me. Feel free to stop by to scratch me behind the ear and bring me some carrots, lots of carrots!

Till next time, big moose kisses.

Surrounded!

The Moose is getting a little tubby (he was 135lbs a couple weeks ago) so I’ve been threatening to walk him. He gets hot so easily and his skin is so fare I only want to take him out early in the morning or late at night. I’m not a morning person and we’re busy at night with martial arts, motorcycles, or other social events. Basically I have a laundry list of excuses not to walk Moose.

Last night I had to work late and missed martial arts class. The sky was overcast and threatening to rain. It was humid but much cooler than the 100+ we’ve seen for many days so I grabbed the gentle leader and Moose and I started around the block for little walk.

We only made it a few houses before the neighborhood kids started running towards us. The first one to make it to us stuck out his hand and asked if I thought Moose would remember him from a few weeks ago when I allowed him to say hello while we were in our front yard. Since there were five other kids running close behind I told him it wasn’t a good idea and we kept on walking. The Moose seemed interested in saying hello but kept walking with little resistance.

We rounded the second corner of the block and we both froze. There was another barking like crazy and the barking was getting louder. I knew it was off leash and was coming at us but I couldn’t find it. Soon it was running into the street at us. It was a little Chihuahua. It was tan with the little cute pink nose, but this little thing was pissed! I told it to stay back as it would be just one bite for my big boy. Quickly a woman was running into the street yelling to try and get the little dog under control. All the while Moose could care less. He just sat down and had his attention on something else.

I turned around to make sure the Chihuahua wasn’t going to nip my ankles and Moose was attacked from the other side by a little girl I would guess is four years old. She ran to Moose with arms spread wide and gave him a huge hug. The whole time her mother was screaming like crazy and her dad was at full sprint from the side of the house. The Moose kind of pulled his head up away from her but allowed her to hug and pet on him with no real complaints. The little girl continued to hug on his neck, and then around his belly, and while her dad was admiring the moose the little girl stuck her head under the moose curiously. It was kind of comical. Everyone gave Moose some love and we continued on our walk.

We made another lap with no interruptions and headed back home for some nice A/C and a big bowl of water. It was a true test for the moose to be surrounded by a little girl, her mother and father, and their faithful little guard dog. He was very gentle and behaved very well. He got some peanuts when we got home as a special treat so he was very happy.

Until next time, Moose kisses!
