i haven't done a post on mosey in a while. where do i start? my little baby is growing up too fast! ha. go ahead, judge me for treating him like a child.. i don't mind! we love this little guy. or i should say big guy. he looks like a mountain lion. which is odd because he is a dog but his body looks like a bobcat or something. actually, i don't even know why i think he looks like a wild animal but he just does.

moses will be turning a year old on March 4th. unfortunately/fortunately we will be gone on a cruise when he turns one. i didn't think i would care about that, but i am actually kind of sad! but you can't beat a free cruise so i think i will get over my sadness about missing his birthday and drown my sorrows on the beach.

moses has calmed down a lot. he still gets crazy excited when people come over, or if we take him anywhere but our house, or if there are other dogs around, or children, or if he sees food, or if he is restless, or if he has to go to the bathroom, but OTHER THAN THAT, he is very calm. we have finally gotten to the stage where i can actually relax when i get home and take a nap if i want to. he loves taking naps with me.

moe used to sleep in our garage, but when it got so cold we tried to have him sleep in our room. it didn't work most of the time, but one day all the sudden he just decided to sleep through the night on our bed. of course it was uncomfortable for everyone but moses and sean, but it worked. we finally got him to sleep on his dog bed in the corner and he loves it. we love it. we all sleep, we are all warm, and i feel a little less guilty for leaving him home alone all day.

unfortunately for the past week or two moses has decided it's a really good idea to wake up at 5 am. sure, it's cute when he comes and snuggles up right by me and i wake up to us spooning with my arm around him, sharing my pillow. that is cute. especially when i have no recollection of him being there. it's not so cute to be woken up though by him sitting right next to me, his head right above me and gagging over my face and about to throw up. luckily sean moved him in time before he threw up all over my face. not sure why he threw up but he just does sometimes. the doctor says he is fine.

anyway, we love this little guy. he was the best impulse buy i have ever had. and i only have impulse buys.. so that is saying something. sure there were times when i wanted to pull my hair out, but it was all worth it. this dog has the funniest personality. he definitely can have an emo-ish sort of attitude but it's hilarious. he loves just pouting and "hmmphing" and loves to flash those puppy dog eyes so he can get his way. he is also incredibly sweet and very protective. always wants to be part of the group. we just love him.
