Check out this doggie torture device from 1936! WTF???
Swissie & Jetta's mom found this on Pawnation and sent it to my mom. She has searched all over the internets to try to buy one. Luckily they don't seem to make them anymore.
Phew! I told her it was a ridiculous idea anyway because a) Who has running boards these days? and b) Surely a writhing Moose in a sack could take down her Prius in a heartbeat!
At least it has rubber tubing... would not want to marr the car! Oy!
Luckily I have convinced her that Mooses only travel in first class ...

Mango & Dexter Visit the Mooselodge (Part 1)
Since Mango visited Corgi Country to ask OC to be a Mango Minster Judge, Mango decided it would only be fair to come and visit me at the Moose Lodge. When I read OC's post, sure I was a little upset that he did not visit me in person dog, but don't listen to my momma if she tells you I was carrying on and pouting and saying I would not judge the Sporty group if Mango did not visit.
She certainly did not have to call and tell him I had a tantrum or anything, he just decided he would like to visit me in the sunny Florida Keys! When I heard that Pee Wee's Birthday passed virtually un-noticed I insisted that he bring the little guy along too.
So they flew in the official Mango Minster Jet to Miami Airport where momma and I picked them up.
You should see all the stuff they brought! I think Mango was expecting Mastiff sized transport. But look what they brought just for me! A snowman! Mango heard I had never seen snow and promised he would send some snow and he really came through for me.
Unfortunately the minute they brought the snowman out of the plane South Florida turned quite chilly! Check out the weather here.... Brrr. They thought it was delightfully balmy and tropical but I am not used to this frigid weather at all!
It was a little tight in the Moose Mobile but somehow we managed for the long ride to Key Largo!
Of course when we finally made it, you know who would not get out of the Moose mobile without a car cookie first!
Unfortunately the snowman did not travel well.... It started to melt even in this freezing weather.
The relentlessly huge was very concerned by the cozy size of the Moose Lodge I assured him that the Moose Lodge could accomodate a full sized beast such as him but he might need to suck it in a bit to get through the door.
So once we got Mango into the Moose Lodge, the first thing on the agenda was a cake party for Pee Wee! Dexter is 2 years old already which in labrayears makes you like a grownup! Mango was quite jealous because this was supposed to be his visit!
Mango was really upset when I asked Pee-wee what he wanted to do while he was in Key Largo instead of him.
Tune in tomorrow to find out!

Cupboard was bare... again
Why does momma let this happen all the time?
Once again it was dinner time and look! Nothing! Nada! Gone!
I mean not so much as a single piece of kibble.
I double checked the Vittles Vault... Nuthin!
So I corralled her into the car to get to the kibble store.
We got there 5 minutes before they closed! Can you believe it? I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had waited another minute before asking for dinner!
I went in with her because I was worried she would not know what kind to get.
Then we got home and I could not wait for the best part... The transferring of the kibbles! She usually spills some and according to the rules any that spill are all mine!
My favorite part is where momma lets me eat right out of the vault for a full 10 seconds! She has calculated that this is how long it takes me to get 1/2 a meal's worth of kibble. I make it almost impossible for her to get me out of there though so that is another few bites. Most yummers!

Pit Stops & Kar Kongs
On our way to Grandad's house! It is a long drive so momma packed some
1 Karat Kongs for me! I am not crazy for car rides but she says there
is turkey that needs eating and pans that need licking. For these
things I am truly thankful!

True Colors Thursday... Silver
There are tons of silver fish in the sea and although I am a marine biologist I know very little about them! Sometimes you come across a 'baitball' which is a giant swarm of silvery fish that I call 'lotta little fish'! It is mesmerizing to watch and hard to really capture in a still picture. This was taken on Horseshoe Reef right off of Key Largo where I live. (if you click on the pic you will be able to see the silver a little better!)
I swim around with a camera constantly but never take pictures of silvery fish unless there is something unusual about them. Notice this one is missing a tail! I saw this at Molasses Reef also right here off Key Largo!Aside from the sea life There is Moose's silver collar (at least it was silver back when it was new!)
The back sides of my lab key chain and 'inedible apple' phone.
A pretty pretty antique ring from somewhere in my family (actually it is white gold) but it passes for silver!And of course the MooseMobile!
This Meme is hosted by Blue and coincidentally (or not?) next week's color will be blue! I know I said silver was my favorite color but it is really a tie with Blue! There is lots of blue in the sea, so stay tuned to see what I might find!

Going to see a surgeon about a Moose
Moose and I are headed to an orthopedic surgeon. He seems worried. He
is not crazy about car rides but this morning he has been crying and
restless in the back seat. It could be that he did not get his kibble
or maybe that is what tipped him off that something is up! We may just
get a consultation but if I like what I hear and they have the right
plates, today is the day. We are scared!

Road Trip
Moose is not a fan of road trips. Here he is looking a little sulky a few weekends ago when I took him up to Miami!

New Moose Mobile
This weekend I bought a new (new to me anyway) car! It is a 2004 Toyota Prius (hybrid). I love it, but Moose, not so much! It is higher off the ground than my old Subaru and when Moose is in the back he is too tall to stand up! He does not need to be standing up anyway so it is just as well that he can't. I also decided that he is safer in the back seat so we have gone back to using the hammock
which keeps him from falling off the seat if I break suddenly. He does not like riding there as much but then again I think he would prefer it to not being able to stand up, or getting hurt! Also my backseat is extra safe now because the Prius has side airbags in the back too!
For those of you who travel with your dog, Progressive insurance will cover up to $500 of vet costs per covered accident. I think they are the only insurance company to do this, and since I happen to already have a policy with them I am delighted that they provide this! $500 does not go far at the vet but considering it does not cost extra it is a nice perk!
