murtle Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Lovely story so I'm trying the biscuits for the cats - hopefully they'll like them being fussy tiggers! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mun's Mum Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks for your kind words everyone, it means a lot to us to know that so many people are following Moon's story . Also thank you for the biscuit orders, it's the first ones we've had this month! Post-Christmas poorness and credit crunch is effecting everyone, so we really apprciate it. We'll try and get them out to you all ASAP and I hope your flanimals enjoy them. Sarah's sprog dogs we the testers for the prototypes, it was very funny to get mobbed by six collies I'm really looking forward to Sarah and Dave coming to meet Moon next week. Moon hasn't met any western males apart from Adam, so it wil be a big step for him (he was quite wary of males in Vietnam). Fingers crossed everyone will be figihting fit by next week so they can come. We'll post photos on the updates when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mun's Mum Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well Sarah and Dave both came to see Moon yestersay and it couldn't have gone better. I am so proud of him. He's quite nervous of stranger, particularly men, so this was a huge step for him. He was a bit growly at first but that soon stopped and he was soon taking treats from "choccie button lady" and "biscuit man" It took him a little while to trust them enough to let him touch them but with me sitting near him, he soon became brave enough. Then he was shaking paws with them, even playing with him new toys a little (S&D throughly spoilt him with a bag load of pressies!) and at one point was being fussed by all three of us at once. I was so proud of him, and it only took him about an hour to accept both of them completely. I'll put photo updates up in the next few days on the website. Also a small request, if anyone has brought MoonBix and would like their dogs/cats on the testimonials page then please email me a photo. We'd be more than happy to put it up on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safneo Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sounds like Moon is doing really well. I can't wait to see your pics. What area are you living in now? Maybe you could join on one of the Refuge walks when he has settled a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 So pleased that the visit went well I look forward to more pics. My Moonbix arrived yesterday and I have to say they didn't last very long, the dogs loved them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sproggie14 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Meeting Moon was a huge honour. I always thought he was an exceptionally handsome dog from his pictures but he is even more gorgeous in the flesh. As Amanda says he was a little grumbly when we first got there but it was obviously just a fear thing and he doesn't have even the teensiest bit of aggression in him. The grumbling soon stopped when the bag of treats came out He is amazingly intelligent and eager to please so, although he didn't want me to touch him, I asked him to sit and give me his paw, which he did and he seemed to enjoy doing something to please us. Soon after he allowed me to touch his cheek and once he realised I wasn't going to hurt him he was soon enjoying lots of fuss. He was absolutely fascinated by Dave straight away and by the end of the visit they were playing together I can't wait to see the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 George and Archie got their supply of Moonbix and have pronounced them "well tasty". Archie is not the slightest bit interested in food but even he sat and begged for more so that's a hoooooooooge endorsement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mun's Mum Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm trying to get the photos up on the website but while it looks fine on my template, when viewed in Explorer it goes all squiffy! Not please. bear with me while i try and sort it out. Also, we're trying to get ideas for our February biscuit of the month. It has to be valentine themed and ingrediants which is safe for dogs and ideally other pets too. Everyhting else is wide open (shape, flavour etc), so any thought please let us know!

Mun's Mum Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi Guys just thought I’d give you all a brief update on how things are going with us and Moon. Well first piece of news is this update is coming to you from Moon’s Dad not his Mum. Amanda has secured a new job at a wildlife rescue centre and is currently living on site with no Internet access. That therefore leaves the updating to me. So fab news for Moon since the last update, he as now been meeting and greeting new people and is settling in quickly to the new stardom. Although he seems naturally nervous of new people he is quickly learn to trust them and even allowing some to get some of his famous head cuddles. For a complete update on his story and to seem some great pics of him visit the updates section of the MoonBix website. A big thank you to the people who tested the bix when we first started and to that end we have added some pics and comments of those first ‘guinea pigs’ to the websites testimonials page. Also can a say a big thank you to all of you that have helped support the MoonBix project and just to let you know that we are only £680 away from the final goal. Two final things then before I go. Firstly should anyone need to contact myself or Amanda can I please ask that you use the email contacts found on the MoonBix website. As Amanda does not have internet access at the moment she will be unable to respond to any posts here, however the MoonBix email address are connected to my own ant therefore I will be able to respond to you or pass on any information etc you may have for Amanda. And finally just to let you know that MoonBix treat of the month the ‘Sweetheatz’ are now available on the website and can we all wish you a very happy St Valentines days for Moon and all the Team.
