You could have shown me these photos a year ago and I would have punched you in the throat for suggesting it would come to this. I never would have imagined we would backslide to become a Dog Family.
Everyone knows a family falls into one of two categories. You either love dogs or don't get them. We were the latter and we loved mocking Dog-people behind their backs.
Sure, we would nod in interest at their dog story, but when they turned their head, we would chortle a laugh in our shirt sleeve. Oh the satisfaction of clucking your tongue in disgust when a human had to touch one of these filthy four-legged creatures.
But that has all changed. Non-Dog people, get ready to mock.
We got Moses as a pup a year ago to give the kids a distraction as we transitioned to a new culture, house, and friends in Mexico. It worked. Problem is, he stuck and now we love him.
He is the best-behaved, most docile, lovable, gentle, and obedient dog we have ever known. And he is ours!
Happy Birthday Moses! In just one year, you've won the hearts of some pretty stiff critics.
(Did I hear some tongue clucking?)

You are definitely in the right camp now. Glad to see you've converted. :)
Dogs rule! 'Nuff said. :)
Kind of looks like he became part of the family...
Happy birthday Moses!
From Trish and Ozzy :)
Happy Birthday, Moses! You are a handsome pooch!
Aw, Moses....
That 2nd picture, priceless... it says it all! (btw, I can't believe it's been a year already!)
I've recently become a dog-lover too! I can totally relate! My Winston's 1st b-day is November 30. Partee!
Happy B-day Moses!

I'll Moses and Nellie would have fun together! Come see us!
I'm glad your Chocolate Lab is well behaved. Ours was a NUT (inbred, perhaps?) and we had to get rid of him. We were those cynical dogless people for a couple of years til we got our current mutt, who is probably a lot like Moses. In the end, it's okay to like dogs as long as you don't let them eat off your plate or sleep under the covers with you. : )
By the way, that pic of Moses sleeping on Von's head is adorable. And speaking of Von, he's looking GREAT!
So there's no hope for you now. You've gone to the dark side. Was nice knowing you. :)
Just a sec, I have to go let in my wife's dog.
You didn't hear any clucking from me. I would LOVE to have a dog like Moses or his match, Jonah, who lives across the street from me. You're lucky people. DOG people.
This was very sweet Jason!
I like cats.

Moses won't pick up the e-card I sent him.
Buffy Marchese wishes Moses a very happy birthday and congrats on wisely picking his family. May he find something deliciously smelly to roll in and encounter something meaty or cheesy abandoned by a child.
Felicidades a Moses, nos da gusto ver a Von tan contento, los extrañamos amigo¡¡¡
Happy Birthday to Moses. We have a yellow lab, and I must say, he is not obedient!!! He and his Border Collie sister, Chey Anne, enjoy running through the house. When we visited Petsmart a couple weeks ago, a huge banner had a picture of Rex and Chey Anne (look alikes!!). I told Jack, they have a job and aren't sharing the money!!!
Enjoy Moses, he will be your best friend ever.

Suckaaa!
