Good grief... Moose has to have a raw tail...OUCH!  Just sayin'....:)

Dick,

Cats also love their backs scratched but not that long...Have you tried using a Furminator...he may have a lot of fur in that spot itching to be shed...I am just throwing out ideas, perhaps you have tried it.  LOL, he is a handsome dog. A

That's hilarious!  He was really going for it on those trees to wear the foliage down like that. 

Dick who would have thought, i was thinking deer, spider mites but not the dog. I was wondering who far the fires are from you. I was worreied seeing it last night having gone through it in Montana.

Aw Moose, what a sweet face. I'll bet you missed that mug while you were in Mexico. ( We were sure happy to see our pal last night). Bummer we can't let them sit next to us on the plane...I'm sure Mac ( and Moose)  would love it and behave better than some passengers. :)

That's hilarous

But are you sure he doesn't have another problem? I know of dogs who like to be petted, then they turn around and show you that they prefer the scratch on the behind instead of the pat on the head. Maybe, all that scratching against the bushes resulted in a colony of fleas on their butts?

Hi Dick,

I needed a good laugh tonight and you certainly gave it to me. I agree with John, must be a sore butt at times rubbing it on the tree Maybe that dog needs some shots to take away the itching. We had a dog who would scratch himself raw and the vet gave him a shot every month and no more scratching.

Wow, that's quite a fetish he has!!  And he is soooo handsome and looks totally innocent.

Hi Dick & Mary!  Gorgeous dog you have!  Our dog is the same way.  He would have you scratch his back for hours if he could.  We've never timed who would scratch him the longest though!

Dick,  To Moose that Juniper (I think it is) is a big loofah scrubber pad.

That is hysterical Dick I can not believe the dog did that:))

That Moose - gotta love a pooch that takes care of his own needs!  We have a Malinois that's created a very distinctive sculpted shape to our front hedge through a similar process, Dick. We'd try to stop her, but the look on her face when she scratches that itch is just priceless! :-)
