Mr. Moose

Today was ear cleaning day for my Remy - a bit of grooming that he does not enjoy.  Instead of his regular food reward, he got a new toy, a replacement Mr. Moose, the other one having been lovingly chomped, chewed, shaken and dragged around until unrecognizable.  O joy, I do think Remy forgot all about the ear cleaning thing...

This moose toy is adorable.

The moose will be a mess in no time so this is a photographic reminder of just how cute it was at the beginning.  Strangely, Remy has a lime green corduroy octopus that he has played with for a couple of years (!) with but has not destroyed - it is the only one of his toys left unscathed. 

My funny Golden.

I love stuff like this

I'll come up the stairs and find this waiting -

Mr. Moose did have antlers...awhile back.

Remy has left one of his well-loved toys while he is off to pursue some other canine endeavor. Often his toys are settled in expressive poses that just make me think about my quirky Golden and how lucky I am to have this sweet boy in my life.

See what I mean...

I still refer to Remy as my "puppy".
