Meet Mobi...

By the way, aDog.mobi was registered on 04/08/07. By me, of course.​

I think this is the first mobi that needs house training. What was the reg fee?

I think this is the first mobi that needs house training. What was the reg fee?

$79.95...includes vet check, neutering, de-worming, microchip implanting, and lots of puppy kisses and chew toys. This is our second Cream Lab adopted in less than a year. The first one is being trained as a Children's Reading Therapy Dog.

Now I am very inclined to create a dog adoption site to include links to local rescue groups as well as local search for shelters and dog pounds and pet supply stores.

Just a DOGGONE good thought!

I'm afraid that's a real dog of a mobi - bark bark!

and dogs are cool!

...you little pisser

a little pisser indeed.

My wife just got home. She just came from the same shelter. We did not know until yesterday (they keep puppies separated from the adult dogs and most "are behind the scenes"...they would really like to place the older dogs) but Mobi's brother is there. The have him mistakenly listed on their web-site as a chow mix.

She said he is gorgeous and darker in color, perhaps leaning more towards the yellow rather than the cream, and perhaps bigger. Mobi is maybe 8 weeks (10 at the very latest) and already 20 pounds.

I'll go take a look at the brother, currently named Parker. I know someone that may be interested and will take my recommendation (if I don't end up taking him).

Gotta be a screw loose somewhere in me noggin...3500+ domains, 350+ mobi's, 5 dogs and...counting?

Mobi, Parked.... Hmmmmm

I have known several Labs - there simply are no more friendly or inteligent dogs. They are the only dogs I know who will play jokes on you. It probably is not a good idea to play fetch with stones, but I could pick up a random stone, hold it in three fingers for only time enough to throw it deep in the weeds, and Mopar, my black lab buddy, would find it with great accuracy. Until he got tired of me finding thicker and thicker weeds to test him with. Just throw the thing already.

better than my "RatTerrier.mobi"!

To say that I am impressed is an understatement. My duties in the military was that of a dog handler and trainer working primarily with German Shepherds. Those will always be my favorite dog breed of all. Such noble, intelligent, and faithful animals. Have owned several over the years. Unfortunately, over the years, age and hip dysplagia takes it toll on them. When we moved to our current residence out in the country we had no dogs. My wife found an abandoned terrier. Then another, and another. Two falls ago, someone dumped off about a 7 week old boxer in our yard. Dec 23rd, had my father in law not been here and taken out the trash and found it, it would have frozen to death. Today Buddy is one beautiful Boxer living LaVidaLoca in Orlando FL with my brother in law.

Last fathers day, my wife found Cotton abandoned on the side of the road. She has grown up to be one of the most impressively beautiful, friendly, smart, intelligent, and locally famous dogs there is. No one can forget a name like Cotton and she is soft like her name. Kids gravitate to her. She is so docile with them. Finishing up all required three course of obedience (final test this coming Monday) and then she moves on to more intense training to become a therapy dog. The vet had a dog in the same class, her and my wife have become great friends, and now the vet uses Cotton to teach and demonstrate to other dog owners how a dog should behave at the vet for inspection. We're talking about a dog BARELY a year old.

Someone missed out on a true gifted dog. Plans are now to teach her to become a Reading Therapy dog for children at the local libraries and also for Brenners Children's Hospital which is part of Wake Forest University/Bowman Gray School of Medicine. The odd part is, everyone who meets or is involved in her training or instructing my wife wants Cotton for so many different tasks.

If you have had a lab, you know they can be a handful. Read Marley and Me. Another name for Labrador Retriever is Labrador Evader...they love to pick up and carry things and it is always a game. Try to take it from them and off they go.

Mobi...what a handful and a beauty. Been home one day, already picking up sticks and anything in the yard, and would rather lay in the water bowl than drink from it. Already loves getting a drink from the water hose. No one taught him this. He and Cotton are bonding like it was meant to be. She will be a good teacher.

Parker...WHOA what a horse. If Mobi is 20 pounds, Parker is about 25 pounds, is bigger, and perhaps will be somewhere between a chocolate and cream...maybe a rarer "red". Labs have large litters. They come out different colors. The craze right now is Chocolate labs. Unsuspecting would-be breeders pay big bucks for a breeding pair or puppy farms will get two Chocolate labs and breed them and have a litter of...2 black, 3 white (creme), 2 yellow, and 6 chocolate. WTF? The rare are the silver (grey...never personally seen one) and the red. Parker may be a red. Then these assholes don't think they have a marketable dog and they dump them. Hard to sell a liter of Chocolate labs when you've got 5 oddballs around. Your buyers will think they are not purebred parents if they see this hodgepodge of colors.

Anyways, I may know a good home for Parker. We would love it and be tickled to death. But already we know our summer is shot. The concentration has to be on Cotton becoming Certified as a therapy dog, training young Mobi, wife has a seminar in Phoenix next month, I have three that follow for my profession so it would be difficult to take on two more to train...at the moment.

I have to give my wife all the credit. She has done an amazing job with Cotton, has spent countless hours going with therapy dogs to see how they work, talking with vets, experts, going to Agility Trials, and three classes already for obedience and such. She has dedicated herself to this breed and has absorbed everything there is to know about it from countless sources and has become quite the expert. She is now consulted on her knowledge. Amazing dog, amazing girl.

Sorry to go on and on. But it is nice to get pumped up and excited about something else besides domains.

Then again...

ITS ALL ABOUT MOBI!
