Weigh in on Weds
Wonder how much I will have lost this time?
Why “The Moog”?
I have received literally a couple of emails asking why I am nicknamed “moog”.
Well it all stems from a Kids Tv programme back in the days when having 4 channels was considered a luxury. The Programme was called Will o the Wisp and was about some swamp and a TV set from what I can gather.
Anyhow there was a character in it called The Moog who was basically a barrel with legs so I ended up being called this. Here is a Picture of the moog from that series:
I am not impressed to be honest and will have to have words with the humans about this.
Moog the Therapy Dog… part two
The Moog is now officially a Therapy Dog.
It seems like I am suited to be fed biscuits and fussed for hours on end… ooh yeah.. bring it on. I got my collar tag and stuff the other day and am now ready, willing and able to be pointed at those biscuits. Apparently some sort of photoshoot is being organised so guess I had better have a bath.
Katie is off on a visit this afternoon and I have asked her to report back on the biscuit potential of the place so I can decide if I will go with her next time.
I feel Like Chicken Tonight…
Well latest weigh in figures are now here…
I have lost another 2.4 Kilos which means its chicken dinner for the Moog. I am well on track for hitting my target weight in July and am feeling much much better in myself.
Graphy thing below…
Moog the therapy dog?
Well today has been a strange one. Normally the female human isn’t up on a Saturday until midday…ish. However today she was up, showered and dressed by 10 O’Clock… this was worrying. It also meant my mid morning snooze was interrupted, without this I don’t have enough energy for my main afternoon nap and of course the early evening slumber. I will have to make the humans pay for this in some way – suggestions gratefully received in your comments.
Apparently I was to be assessed to see if I was suitable to become a Pets as Therapy dog, this would mean going into schools and nursing homes and being fussed and force fed biscuits. This I approve of – especially the biscuits bit. You can read more about Pets as Therapy and the wonderful work the charity does here: Link.
So anyhow at 11 O’clock we met up with Anne and my temperament and suitability to be a P.A.T. dog was tested. I won’t know the results for a couple of weeks yet but of course I was awesome and moogalicious so paws crossed.
Moog fame spreads…
I am in this months (the Feb edition) Your Dog according to the humans.
I have been told that some more press stuff will be happening soon too so guess I had better book another pamper session.
*Does Happy Dance*
Well I graced the weigh in centre today with my presence.
So apparently the target for this weigh in was for me to tip the scales at under 50 kilos. The humans were expecting it to be just under or even slightly over. Just goes to show what they know as I weighed in at a chicken dinner inducing 48.5 kilos. To be honest I was a bit surprised by this myself as although I had had a big pooh and everything that’s a lot of weight lost over the target I had set myself.
The vet bloke - apparently he wants to be called Steve as this makes him sound cooler, fair dos he’s a nice enough bloke so its the least I can do – was well happy too.
So I am about to pack the humans off to the shops to get me my promised chicken but first… its time to go surprise the squirrels in the garden.
My next weigh in is looming
My next weigh in is on Wednesday.
wonder if i will get below 50 kilos? The humanas are talking about throwing a party if i do (there had better be chicken). I have decided to prepare for my weigh in by getting lots of sleep, this means that when i go out i can make sure i am nice and refreshed for a bout of squirrel chasing.
Anyhow I will let you all know how I get on after the weigh in.
Moog Tube
Well moog fans I am on you tube.
There is nowhere near enough footage of me in my humble opinion but its a start. I apologise for the naff music, I had no control over that – I did suggest a nice heavy rock track but apparently they decided that something more suited to a corporate video entitled “How to do boring things all the time without killing yourself” would suffice. I will endeavour to have something more exciting for the next one.
Latest Weigh In Figures
Well I went over to see Steve at the PDSA in Liverpool today to have my official weigh in.
I have lost another 1.4 kilos and am now 50.8 kilos. The great news is my Body Condition Score has just dropped to 4 (Overweight) from 5 (Obese). So I guess that this diet muck is working.
I dare say some sort of graph will appear attached to this post in the near future. yeah … there it is.
