The dogs write to their deployed Dad who is in Afghanistan

April 15, 2008


Dear Dad,
MooMoo and I thought we would finally get our female human off her computer so we could finally write you and let you know we are still alive............As I was cruising around her computer I found out some interesting facts....


Here are some of the the things she is writing her husband about us:

What was I thinking when I offered to house sit the dogs Sir and MooMoo? Yeah ok Sir breaths down my neck but now has gotten into the habit of sleeping on his back spread eagle so I am hit in the back, head, and my legs. Unless I curl up and sleep in a fetal position. MooMoo snores worse then you and then pants half the night shaking the bed! Ugh I want a bigger bed then our king size. Do u know if they sell King size plus plus? It is still a nightly battle to get them off the bed so I can at least claim one corner! I have had to ante up on the bribes there as well. I offer them pig ears! Trust me they smell horrible and then I have to listen to the crunch crunch for about 20 mins! But as we both know I love the dogs and having two ones that are more pony then dog does fill that big empty gap in the bed! At least they are softer then you and do listen a little better.

Here is what I found in her second email:
MooMoo has the habit now of pile driving Sir into my sleeping body at night! I am so not impressed. What the Hades do the dogs think they are doing playing at 3am! I actually got body slammed out of my bed last night! Ended up hitting my head the mini shelf Mik made in school. I am ready to board them in a horse barn where they will have their own stall and daily turn out ha ha.
Needless to say I kicked them out of my bed and made them lay down lay on their own beds on the floor. I managed to get back to sleep only to be woken up with Sir breathing in my face. Both MooMoo and Sir snuck back into my bed last night! How I did not feel them climbing over me to get onto the bed I do not know perhaps it was an effect from hitting my head on the shelf! I think the dogs are plotting against me ha ha ha!

Now her 3rd email:
I tell you MooMoo and Sir are not good movie companions! MooMoo would start panting every time I would start to tear up and Sir would do his usual backstretch and nail me in the head. What happened to the cuddly dogs that would lay there and not do much except lift their big heads up occasionally? Well after the movie, I let out MooMoo, Sir, Ziggy, and Bing for one last call of Mother Nature before bed.
Well wouldn't you know that earlier today we had built snowmen in the backyard -- 4 of them and we were so proud of them too? I will tell you one thing when the children wake up tomorrow they are not going to be too pleased. I am so glad you taught them that golden rule "don't eat yellow snow."
As I am standing there watching the dogs go about their business they all ran for the snowmen/and they ALL took their turns "christening" our snow people. The dogs did such a good (I use that word very loosely) job that it looks like they lit up the snowmen with a bright golden colour. I could see it clearly from 100 ft away!
I told you the dogs were plotting against us! They had to go and wreck our snowmen ha ha ha. If only I had a video of it you would be laughing until the day you come home!!! Now I have to figure out away to "clean up" our snowmen before the children discover their work of art has the added touch of 4 dogs call of mother nature on them!!!! I am thinking of knocking them down very early in the morning and saying "they wind knocked them down." I just know E will be crushed that his snowman's colour is yellow not white!!!
I guess that is my payback for keeping the dogs inside while we were building snowmen outside. Only reason I did it was that Ziggy would not let us build anything she was jumping up and crushing everything we started! That is what you get from a puppy!!! I am making the dogs get up early with me and they can help break up the snowmen dang it Zippy better put in some overtime to help!
Well I have to get to bed it is late here and early for you! I still have to get out the pigs ears and toss them across the room so that I can at least get onto the bed and claim my little corner before the dogs get back on!
I am telling you Dad don't believe everything u read here as I think she likes to make up the stories to make her husband laugh!!! Don't worry about us we know we have our female human wrapped around our paws! We know what makes her happy and we know when she is upset and so we cheer her up! We have a daily routine now and we have nothing to complain about except that she sleeps in OUR BED and takes up room in the bed that I can personally use as I love to now sleep sideways!
 Sometimes our female human talks to us -- not that I can really understand all that she says but nonetheless we talk back when a reply is needed, although I don't think she can understand us! I think I hear her saying that we all were going into the city to get a shave and haircut!!!!! Something about us losing tons of hair on the bed and carpet............our human female is now even on some medication because of our hair although she told us something about the Dr wanting her to have us sleep somewhere else besides her bedroom to which she replied "heck no that is never going to happen I need the dogs with me." But from what I can see the medication our female human is on is WORKING so at least now she can breath better at night! Besides once we are groomed down to our spring coats it will be much much better for her too.
Anyways Dad my paws are getting really tired here so I better go. Sorry it took me so long to write to you but I promise now to at least write you once a week. Let us know if you can receive pictures! We miss you and hope all is well.

Love Sir and MooMoo
