A boy name Moose

Hello, my name is Moose. I'm getting old now and I'm starting to question the meaning of my life. First of all, I am a dog, a real one. My owners thought it would be a good idea to give me the name of another animal. <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/K8THDB59/IMG-1221.jpg> A few facts: I am not the largest member of the deer family. I am not taller than a horse. In fact I never even [[grew antlers.]]

NO antlers here. Side note, did you know female moose are called cows? Who makes this stuff up anyway? I have two female human siblings, they're alright..... I sometimes hear them talk about me and what life would be like if I was born a different animal. In fact I often wonder what my life would be like if I ...... was born a [[chick]] or [[unicorn named Pixy?]]

<img src=https://i.postimg.cc/BbQxX9hW/IMG-1226.jpg> Not sure how much fun it would be to have a chicken for a mother ?? Sometimes my kibble smells like chicken. I need to rethink this.......... Think. Think. Come on think...... Oh look a [[squirel !]]

You know, anyone named Pixy would probably have better odds at a good life. Better then someone named Moose anyway. <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/0yfP0TnX/IMG-1227.jpg> My sisters believe in unicorns, so I guess I should too. I'd be able to poke people with my horn, I would [[pee sprinkles]] and sequins, life would be just lovely! Then maybe my sisters would want to bring me to school, tell their friends how cool and handsome I am..............ahhhhh the love I would get! Hmmmm what about [[a beaver ?]] or [[a tiger?]]

This isn't working......focus Moose focus. Let's start over. What if I could be some type of majestic horse like creature that runs fast but also a little pigish so that I could eat just about anything and get dirty whenever I felt like it. That's it, a horse-pig........pig-horse.........piglet poney.....a pigoney! <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/1trmnhyD/IMG-1142.jpg> You like? Wouldn't I be fun and cute at the same time? Ok maybe not..........Pixie the [[unicorn then?->unicorn named Pixy?]]

let's pretend you didn't click on the words "pee sprinkles". [[try again->unicorn named Pixy?]]

A beaver named Eric.......I would be so cool! <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/YqNhTy8Y/IMG-1229.jpg> Would I ever be dry though? would I live my life always feeling like I just got a bath from my owners? There is nothing I hate more than being wet........ok so beaver is a no. [[Lemurs!!!!]] they're never wet!

A lemur named Buddy! Yah that's it, I'd always write my name in cursive, I would be loved by all. Not sure if I'd still be able to play at the dog park though ??? Can lemurs go for walks??? Hmmm I might have to rethink this one. <img src= https://i.postimg.cc/PxH7VJqm/IMG-1234.jpg> [[a tiger?]]

<img src=https://i.postimg.cc/nz6krcsX/IMG-1222.jpg> A tiger!!! finally, that's the one, I want to be a tiger. My markings would keep me camouflaged at the dog park, a simple growl and the chihuahuas would leave me alone. I could outrun everyone and I would still be small enough to sleep in my parents bed. Perfect! [[No wait.....]]

If I was a tiger, I don't think my family would take me camping any more. Also wouldn't be able to hunt at night since I'm afraid of the dark. Also not sure if I'm cut out to be predator, the bunnies in our garden often startle me. <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/sx4wLCX1/IMG-1224.jpg> and I pretty sure my family would never bring me to school or for car rides..... <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/DzxpvTdG/IMG-1230.jpg> I think I'm starting to realize that being a dog may not be so bad.... even if my name is Moose. Perhaps you should see what I really look like as a [[real dog]], not one with a pearl necklace in a tuxedo.

This is me with 3 of my 10 identical siblings. I'm the one on the far right. <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/RVHHhhjt/IMG-1692.jpg> This is before I had a [[forever family]].

I grew very fast once my family took me home. I needed 1-2 hours of cardio per day otherwise I would be up to all kinds of shenanigans at night while my family slept. <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/Dy9Y4Wm3/mooose-24.jpg> I've had a [[good life]].

They say one day soon I will go to doggy heaven, perhaps there I will get to chose what animal I get to be in my next life............now that I think about it, I'd rather stay here and be myself. This is probably how my sisters will remember me. After all, it could have been worse, they could have named me Mooserinky or Mooserino like my sisters sometimes call me. <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/htZdCYQL/IMG-1235.jpg> What I look like [[now.]]

This is how my parents will remember me. A good boy! <img src=https://i.postimg.cc/ZK2mVFK9/IMG-1487.jpg> I'm going to go outside now to pee on something, then it's time for my third nap. Hope I don't have nightmares about becoming another animal! The End! Photo Credits: All photos used in this story were created and provided by Moose's sisters.

<img src=https://i.postimg.cc/59wHWTv5/IMG-6358.jpg> I just celebrated my 11th birthday on Sept 11, 2019. My siters made me a birthday cake with all my favourite things, apples, carrots, peanut butter and popcorn. You would never know that I am sick because I still feel like myself. It's not so bad going to the veterinarian, my mom also works there, so I get treated like a [[king]].
