Dogs of Woodstock

Valley bulldog, Moose sings for his supper through the miracle of AI.

Moose, our boxer English bulldog mix tried to take a dip in the pet pool. But our caluga duck decided he needed to be meticulously groomed especially around the folds/wrinkles around his face. Moose at first wanted none of it and put up a fuss. But just like a child he succumbed and enjoyed the attention.

Moose has loved on these ducks since the day they were hatched. He has especially enjoyed stoically guarding and hanging out by the pet pool making sure no harm comes their way. One duck has always rewarded him with kiss or a nibble.

I am not going to lie but 2020 has proven to be a tough year especially in and around the bigger US cities. In June, while there was rioting in the streets of Atlanta and then others were hanging tight at home because of being fearful of getting the COVID-19 virus, we HAD to get out and explore. Just 15 miles from the rioting, Moose, the boxer mix, and his boy discovered a spot that took away the uncertainty and anxiety of the times. A babbling creek within a couple of miles from our home. It was the first time the boy had ventured out of the house since being quarantined on March 14 2020. Finding tranquility amongst the chaos.

Boxer gets bested by a wasp Apparently, a young wasp’s nest was knocked to the ground. Moose, our rescue boxer mix, decided to valiantly defend us from the dangerous creatures afoot. With his ferocious gravelly bark and his bigger than the wasps stance he confronted those pesky vermin. He stood his ground. They quivered on their nest. Moose was winning. Little did he know, they can fly and pack quite the punch. One jumped and bopped him on the nose. Little doggie Moosie hopped away a little bit wiser and a little bit stung. His nose swelled a touch but other than that he was fine and lived to fight another day.

Moose, the boxer mix pushes his limits

Moose, the lovable boxer/English bulldog mix that was found at a kill shelter a couple of years ago, is always eager to please. Here he exuberantly tries to learn a new command, ‘crawl’. But he ends up confusing the command he learned earlier in the week, rollover. The only thing we need to entice and get his full attention is bits of his dog food kibble. He is so lovable and just wants to please. We scratch are head and cannot figure out to this day why his original owners dropped him off after they had had him for 2 years at that kill shelter. We are thankful to Mostly Mutts for finding him, saving him and allowing us to adopt him.
