All About Me, er, Us (sigh)

My little Pug friend, Pearl, posted this most exciting quiz and asked her pals to fill it in. I think it is a grand idea, so here goes...

THE BASICS

1) Name and Age

Mango: 5 years old (which is kind of beyond middle aged for a full sized doggie such as myself - I have lots of grey furs to prove it).

Dexter: 2 years old (and still filling out with labramuscle)

2) Breed

Mango: Mastiff (yuh, real mastiff, not one of those midget Bully Mastiffs)

Dexter: Labrador Retriever (best all around doggie you will find)

3) Nickname(s)

Mango: Bubba, Bubs, Stripey, MANGOMOVE!

Dexter: PeeWee, Squirt, Shortie, Blackie, Little Black Devil, DEXTERNO!

4) Where'd ya come from?

Mango: Lords Hill Mastiffs (bunch of show off dogs - my littermate, Floyd, is some sort of champion who gets lots of hot gals. I could of finished too, you know, except I just didn't really like that show crap) My official name is Lords Hill We All Love Mango and the inspiration was this character because "everybody loves Mango!"

Dexter: Nightwind Labradors (showy dogs and field dogs all in one - but not me because I have an underbite which makes me a pet dog, but that's OK). My official name is Nightwind Dexter in the Dark because when I came to the estate, momma and master were watching this on DVD.

FAVORITES

1) Toy

Mango: Any toy that PeeWee has. Gimmie!

Dexter: Duh, tennis ball, of course

2) Snack

Mango: PIZZA! Nommy!

Dexter: Rocks

3) Human

Mango: I think we better say momma if we know what's good for us

Dexter: Agreed, momma for sure

FUNNY STUFF

1) Worst habit

Mango: Putting my big sloppy face on people, especially after a nice drink of refreshing water, and leaving goobers everywhere (hey, that is Miss Kylie's mommy! Pucker up, lady).

Dexter: Using my levitation skills to stick my snooter in human's eye sockets when they are standing up. This is highly entertaining for me as it causes squeals of joy from the humans. Not to mention I have great aim.

2) Most embarrassing moment

Mango: That would have to be when Master put a scary force field on my Observation Deck. Actually the embarrassing part is that idiot momma did not recognize the danger and mocked my dire predicament. You can watch the movie here. But I warn you, it is long and disturbing.

Dexter: Getting the smack down put on me by my mutant giant labranephew alleged puppy, Oliver (that kid is ENORMOUS).

3) Family dynamic

Mango: I AM THE BIG DOG! Need I say more?

Dexter: Mango is a big cry baby momma's dog who likes to throw his weight around, but when it comes to foodables he knows enough to keep his distance from my labrajaws of doom.

4) Your human's FAVORITE thing about you

Mango: Momma says that I am most empathetic, yuh, for sure, like I totally know when she needs snuggles or when she needs me to be silly because I am super smart, right?

Dexter: Well, momma is always telling me that she likes that I am so easy going. Sheesh, that is a survival skill around the Relentlessly Bossy.

Now it's time for my pals to take the quiz! Give it a try!

Oh, and regarding my, ahem, end zone issues, I am happy to report that the quality of my output is greatly improved. Plus I no longer feel the need to evacuate in the middle of the night which pleases momma to no end. The bad part is that I think this might mean I need to eat medicine kibbles FOREVER! HELP!

Mango Man! Oh yeah!

P.S. From Momma - Mango's medicine kibble is W/D dog which is high fiber AND low calorie (thus the increase from 8-10 cups / day). Vet said that it is not unusual for big dogs to need more fiber to firm up (which sounded kind of goofy to me but it seems to be working). Fear not, he is getting lots of green beans, yogurt, pumpkin and other to make his icky kibble more tasty.
