STAR OF THE DAY - ALEX - OCTOBER 29

PattyInAK · October 28, 2008, 10:58:41 PM

Full Name: Alexander the Great
Everyone Calls Me: Alex, Baby-Boy

Age: 10 years
Gotcha Day: March 1998
Who I Own or Live With: Mom Patty and Papa Dan
Hometown: Wasilla, Alaska

How Long I have been a Part of the Wiener Writings Family: Since March 1998
I am a Mini/Tweenie/Standard: Tweenie
Weight (Only if you want to share): 13.8 pounds (I need to lose one pound)
Hair Color: Black and Tan
Coat Type: Smooth
Eye Color: Brown

Favorite Person/People: Mom
Favorite Toy: Anything that squeaks, and the kitty (but that’s a no-no)
Favorite Treat: Frozen marrow bones stuffed with yogurt, peanut butter and a biscuit

Favorite Things or Favorite Things to Do: Go for walks, go to the cabin and sit by the woodstove at home (or at the cabin) with Willy

Least Favorite Thing to have done or to do: Be left at home when mom runs errands
Where I Sleep at Night: In the big bed
I am a Hunter/Huntress -- Yes or No: Yes, I was until mom trained me to not chase the kitty
What I do when my Hoomans are away: Sleep with Willy

Story about me that my Hoomans would like to share: Alex is very sweet and gentle, he is especially good with old people and kids. He likes to invite himself up onto laps when we have visitors.

Story that I want to share about my Hoomans: My mom really kept her cool when I ate some De-Con at the cabin. She called the vet and was told to get some hydrogen peroxide down my throat immediately. Mom did, and within 5 minutes I was tossing my cookies and didn’t stop until I was completely empty, but mom saved my life.

This is me and Willy (we have spotted the kitty)

This is the kitty (Pepper, the barn cat) Mom rescued her from the warehouse district in Anchorage 7 years ago. Pepper has a warm house mounted up on the wall in the barn. Inside it she has a foam bed with a real cozy fleece blanket on it. On top of her house sits her food bowl and heated water bowl. Her best buddy is Neeki, mom’s Paint horse. Pepper also really loves mom and dad, they say she is a “real purring machine.”

This is Neeki

Alex (AND Willy) are just gorgeous!!! You have been very blessed with two very sweet boys. Love the sweaters. Pepper is a looker too and of course, Neekie is such a beauty. Love these pics Patty! Too bad you can't show the video of them doing the tandem shake! (Diane and I were just talking about that the other day.)

The tandem shake???????

Remember the video you showed at my house at the bow wow where both boys are standing there and they shake at the exact same time?

Oh my gosh, I had forgotten about that!!! LOL!!! I have been really blessed with these two boys. They are not that long in the back, and they are more stout than slim (like Misty was), and because I have kept their weight down they have not had any back problems. Knock on wood, but I hope Willy and Alex will be 2 out of 6 doxies I have owned that will not have back problems. These guys are so precious to me, and I would not have made thru the past several months if they were not by my side night and day.

Alex you sound like a real sweetheart. Your coat is beautiful and so shiny. I'm going to ask the question that I bet others are wondering about-Where did your mom find your sweater. It fits perfectly on your doxie body. Schatzi needs one now that she goes outside and one like that may fit well enough that she will keep it on.
I hope you get a marrow bone and lots of treats and snuggling today. Maybe you could share a little bit with Willy since his Star day was a few weeks ago. He is a good brother, after all.

I got their sweaters at Walmart. Willy and Alex wear size M. The sweaters fit really well. I think they cost around $6.

What a handsome boy you are Willy! I loved reading all about you! I remember when you ate that bad stuff...scared your mama to death. The good thing is that she just took good care of you and you never even knew how scared she was! That's a VERY special mama you have up there!

Happy Star of the Day Alex!!!
Hope you and your brother scored big today!

Madderoos Mom · October 29, 2008, 10:12:02 PM

Alex, did you know that you're one of my favorite baby boys on this board. 'Course I've known you probably the longest of anyone. You are still one handsome dude. Snuggles to you (and Willy too). Hope you enjoyed your day.

DeeanDave · October 30, 2008, 01:11:49 PM
