My Doggies :)

I love my dogs!

Meet my pets...

Moose:

I have a 13 year old black lab/golden retrevier mix. His name is Moose. We got him when I was ten. I had a friend at school whose dog had puppies. She told us about it one day and said they were free! We had just given our other dog back to my uncle because he was more of a hunting dog so I of course was on top of this. I went home & told my mom, and she gave me some line about how we don't need one or something. Little did me and my brother know that she called my friend's mom and inquired about them. Around Easter, my mom loaded us in the car to run some errands.

We start pulling in this neighborhood and my mom said we had to go pick up something from this guy my dad used to work with. We go pulling in this driveway, and I was so humiliated because It was my friends house from school and I said, "MOM his dad does not work with dad!" She kept saying yes he does! Just get out of the car. I refused. My mom let me stay in the car while she walked up to the door. She must have told my friend's mom what I said & she came out and asked if we wanted to see the puppies while my mom was picking something up. Well, I said yes. We were outside playing with them, and then out of nowhere my mom said "Ok which one do you want?" I was SHOCKED and so happy at the same time. My parents agreed that they wanted a male dog, so that was our only restriction. We could have chosen from dogs looking like a golden retriever or a black lab. I chose Moose & he looks just like a black lab. Here is a picture of Moose. He is the bigger one :) (This is the only one I have on my phone)

Bubba:

Then just two years ago, my brother's girlfriend's sister's dog (follow that?) had puppies! This dog was trained to be a care dog, but failed the test. The dog had black lab/german shephard puppies. My dad had been wanting another dog for a while, but my mom kept saying no. One day, my brother just brought a puppy to the house for us to see. He brought us Bubba. He was the runt of the litter. That's why my brother liked him so much. He could literally fit in the palm of one hand & was a little fur ball! My mom fell in love instantly & we kept him :)

Bubba is now two and a half and is the life of the party! He has such a funny personality. He loves his tennis ball and frisbee. He loves water. You turn the hose on outside & he goes crazy! He also loves to go on rides and loves cheese! He has brought so much happiness to our lives. I couldn't imagine my house without him. He is such a great dog. Moose is older and has a lot of fatty tumors. He struggles to get up and down, but will still initiate play with Bubba. Moose is such a loyal dog. He has been a great watch dog and protector.

I love my dogs so much. I don't know what I would do without them! Moose doesn't have much longer with us, but I know when the time comes he won't be in pain anymore.
