I know that sounds a bit dramatic but I am so proud of my so brave boy. I have always joked about his 'guarding' abilities since he barks ferociously but as soon as someone gets within petting range it is all waggle waggle waggle! But today I was working out in the yard when he started into his ferocious woofeling. I assumed it was the neighbor out in their own back yard but it did sound a little extra ferocious so I peeked around the corner to see some teenager scaling my 7ft fence! So I yelled at the kid and he said "oh I used to cut through here to get to my friend's house but now there is this big fence and I don't want to jump down because there is a huge dog". So I said "yeah? He doesn't really want you to either". My Moose was barking ferociously the whole time! So he jumped into the neighbor's yard and hopefully will never return. I know this hardly sounds like a big deal but it is the first time I have seen his actual protective nature. I suspect if the kid had jumped down that he would not have come to any harm but nice to know he was not inclined to find out!So Voting is now OPEN over at Mango Minster 2009 where Moose is a count test ant in the Sporting group. I entered a pic of him in his fancy boy coat but for today we will call it his super hero cape! To Vote you have to go to Mango's blog and enter your vote in the comments section. There is some stiff competition so Moose would be honored to get your vote.
I know I promised some better pics of him looking handsome and sporting.
Obviously this is Moose looking Handsome!
Moose Phelps here showing off his freestyle (I hear there is a cell phone picture of him with a Kong... hope he does not get disqualified from Mango Minster!)
Here he is competing at Tugfest 2008, by far his favorite sport before he was sidelined with his knee injury!
So here he is Roaching Florida Keys Style (i.e. with a coconut in his mouth)!
Here he is demonstrating his long reach and flexibility when it comes to anything food related!Don't forget voting closes at 5pm on Monday!!!
Gosh Moose, maybe next year we will have to have more talent type competitions. I think you would win in the swim meet.

I don't know what is funnier!! The "kong" (tell them woo did not inhale) or demonstrating his long reach and flexability! Moose is such a good boy! My mommy says that even though none of us would "probably" bite, it's the ferocioius barks that matter! And with 5 of us in the house, it's a LOT of barking!! Woo go Moose!!!

Hi Moose! Good guarding! I wonder if that was a true story or if the teenager was just good at thinking on his feet - no one should be "cutting through" a yard with a high fence. Great pictures!
