Awards

Mango and pee-wee oops I mean Dexter gave us TWO awards the other day and we are honored! We think Bolo's blog is fabulous so would like to pass the award to them! We also think Jack's blog is fabulous. His daily posts are short and sweet and never fail to make us laugh!

The honest scrap award means we are supposed to tell you 10 honest scraps about Moose. Moose said he felt more comfortable telling you himself so here he is:

1. I love Carrots! Sometimes when I get a little distracted or don't hear my name being called Momma will ask me if I want a carrot and suddenly I can hear clear as a bell and come running!
2. I have a little bit of a drooling problem and often end up with drool on my head or have a bunch of sticks, leaves and gravel hanging from the long strings of drool! Momma used to tease that they should bottle it for when you need something sticky and slimey at the same time, but then she found out that they already do! I am not sure what they do to my drool to make it into beer but I am awaiting a royalty check for their use of a depiction of me drinking water on the label!
3. When momma asks 'who do you love'? I give her a big kiss, but the truth is I only do this because she gives me crackers when I do it. I mean, I love her and all but unless she has food on her face I don't see the point of licking her!
4. I apparently have a 'defective' ear. My ear flaps lie down like they are supposed to most of the time and when I am smiling they go back a little like all labs but when I am out of my mind beside myself happy both ears go back but the one on the right flips up in a funny way (I guess it is funny b/c it makes momma giggle and call me 'defective')! She has tried to get a picture of it but this is an unpredictable event that is accompanied by ALOT of wiggling!
5. I love being tall! When momma leaves the house and forgets to put the yummy stuff on the floor for me, I can easily help myself to it... even if she leaves it pushed all the way back.
   
6. I woofel ferociously at anyone who approaches the moose lodge but the minute they get within petting distance I waggle all over the place! I figure, if they are not afraid of my ferocious act then momma must have already told them I am a big smooshy boy so they must be friends... right?
7. I know I am a Labrador but what is this business about retrieving??? You threw it, you can go get it yourself! Unless it is something tuggable, I do not see the point of bringing YOU things that I want to play with!
8. And while we are at it, yes I love water but honestly prefer to have my paws planted firmly on the bottom if it is all the same to you. I know they are webbed for swimming but walking or lying in water is just as good!
9. I was terribly afraid of stairs until momma convinced me it was ok. She did a pretty good job convincing me but there are some situations where things are not right (and I won't tell her what that means) for me to go up and down them. When I hurt my leg I got a free pass to avoid stairs, one good thing about being hobbled!
10. I miss Teddy somethin' terrible and wish I was not an only dog. Luckily momma knows this and feels so guilty about it that she takes me places to play with other dogs (at least she did before my leg got hurt).
    

So there you have it! Momma said I could pick whoever I wanted to know more about as long as they have not already been tagged so I am going to tag:

1. Parker
2. Jack
3. Rufus and Indie

p.s. Blogger is being difficult today so apologies for the wonky formatting!
