Where's Your Moose??

When anyone comes over to the house (including when we come home from anywhere), we get attacked by this:

That's the nose of our hyper and ridiculous puppy, Titus. He makes me insane. We have discovered, though, if we just ask him the three little words, "Where's your moose???" He will stop attaacking us long enough to look for his toy moose...
Then he chomps down on it and shows it to us, but at least with his mouth distracted he doesn't bark or try and nip at anyone. Instead he finds a spot on the couch and shows you his favorite toy...

and all is good in his world (and ours!)...
So, since taking these photos the moose has sadly gone to moosey heaven. You can see he was already missing an antler and his arms, but now all the stuffing is gone too. He now has a cat toy that is his favorite. And the new three little words you need to say are "Where's your TOY??!" and he will run and go get it and leave you alone.
And that's the trick to getting Titus to not annoy you. The end.

Hey- at least you've got a *technique*! We don't own a dog, but we have a doggie-in-law that is often at our house and we have *no technique* for some of his crazy. (Love you Duke!)

whenever one of the dogs would fall in love with a toy we would run out and buy multiples. come to think of it, i did that with the kids too...but sadly, it didn't work with me...i only have one diamond ring (oh pooh)
