		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I miss my brother Ollie Lou so much.  I know that we didn't always see nose to nose on certain things, such as BALLS, but we were together for a very long time.  He was there when I first came home - him and Rems.  And now they are both at the bridge......sigh.....the only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that he's watching over me with Trusty and Rems and Bailey........oh and the only other thing that makes me feel better is that my mom is playing BALL TIME with me every night because I am down in the dumps - last night?  She used not one, not two, not three but FOUR BALLS TO THROW FOR ME - that was serious BALL TIME!
But, sigh, I still miss my brother]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is my birthday - I am seven years old!  And to celebrate yesterday Mum took me bye bye in the car - one of my favourite things ever!  And it was SNOWING!  in October!  Mum said "Must be for a special boy's seventh birthday! Who could that be?"  And I was wagging
in the backseat and she said "Oh!  That's you!  My Peep!" 
it snowed over a foot - trees snapped the power went out for a minute about four or five times - Anne got very upset - she always gets that way when the lights go out - and this morning when we woke up it was like a winterwonderland!  Today for my birthday we are having Frosty Paws!  YAY!  Oh - and a happy birthday to all my siblings - especially Toby Shea!  Love you all1  Oh and LOVE YOU MOM!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Why I love my mother:

Because even though there are FOUR other doggies in this house - she ALWAYS makes special time for just me.
Because when she takes a vacation from work?  It's never a vacation from me - as a matter of paw - it's always to spend LOTS of time with me!
Because she always says "good night Peep, I love you" and "Good Morning Peep - I love you!" 
And she always waits for me to ease into waking up before saying "Okay! Let's all go out!" 
Because she takes me into stores like Best Buy - without so much as blinking at anyone - and - Home Depot too - even though they have a sign up that says "No Pets" - she says to me - "what am I supposed to do?  I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU in the car! No matter how cool it is out!" 
Because on days like today?  When she turned into Dunkin Donuts - and locked me in the car - with the air conditioner blasting - she told the people inside that the iced coffee was for her, but the whole wheat bagel with a smidge of cream cheese - was to be shared with me.
And this was after she weighed me on the scale at Petsmart and I toppled to scale at - GASP - 118!  I am a big boy.  A lady who heard Mom say "118! Holy Crap!" said - "if that was me I'd be wearing a bikini" and my Mom said - "if that was me?  I'd be wearing a bikini and high heels EVERYWHERE I WENT in the summer!  
Because she furminates me and it feels so good!
These are just a few reasons why I LOVE MY MOMMIE!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Mum.  Poor girl - doing all the jobs to keep up the house and still giving me kisses and taking me on our garden/yard tour every night!  We are very excited that Johnny is better and cannot wait for Aunt Babs to come home and see all the different tomatoes that are in our garden.  Oh!  And there's a few squash and!  Eggplant!  And zucchini and beans and peppers!  I love to be with Mum and look at everything coming up and out.  She has tomatoes allover the yard - in flower beds with some peppers and in the back yard.  And I have finally stopped going in that big flower bed (with tomatoes and basil and peppers in the back) and sitting in it!  BOL!  I know you are tired and doing so much, Mommie - just want to say I appreciate you and I love you Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

She has to water all the flower and veggie beds....so to keep me occupied?  She lets me play with the hose first and I get nice and refreshed - and then!?  TOTAL EXCITEMEMNT!  She produces a - GASP - BALL!  And I get to do fetch!  Or!  When she has to cut/prune tree branches?  I get a REALLY BIG STICK!  I get soooooo excited!  And then I get in trouble - because I take it and my large butt and go into one of her flower beds!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is March 21st.  That means that yesterday?  SPRING has SPRUNG!  I love the warm Spring weather!  The throwing of balls, the chasing of balls, the semi-returning of balls.  The barking at balls.  The chewing of balls......everything about Spring say BALL PLAYING to me.  
Of course, I like to lay down with the ball - in front of the water bowl, and put the ball in the bowl and then drink the water - of course this is after I've already had a good drink of clean *non-ball* water.  And then I usually get a "Peep!  NO!  What are you doing!?"  which is my cue to take the ball and run away.  But then I can't control myself and I just want Mom to throw it for me.  So I bring it over, and if she's not paying attention to me - I put it down and bark at her.  However, if she's waiting for me to bring it to her?  I will not give it to her.  No way.  No until I am GOOD and READY!  By this time?  I usually get one more good throw and when I bring it back I am told "Time for the ball to go night-night" and into the dishwasher or under sink cabinet (sigh) it goes.   Who knew that Balls needed so much Night-Night? BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was thinking today...about this house that we live in now.  This is the second home I've lived in with my Mommie (if you don't count the farm where I was born at Nana Karen's). 

The  first house I knew was the one Mom brought me home to - where my brothers Rems and Oliver Louis were waiting for me, with my Dad.  That was in Peekskill.  I was a baby there.  I loved it.  I grew from a baby puppy to a young doggie there.  I loved being with my brothers - especially Rems.  That's also the house where I remember having to say goodbye to Rems.  That was sad.  Both of us (me and OL) were very depressed.  That's also the house though - where I remember this little baby girl puppina coming to see me - my baby sister Anne Marie.  She was soooo little and such a baby!  And!  She was so frisky! 
Then I had to go to the "pokey" (the kennel at the vets) for two months or so - with the Drama Queen himself. Oliver Louis.  There were a  few weekends out at Nana's townhouse - until the day Mom picked us up and took us here to our new house in Putnam Valley.  Actually I remember that Mom took me here once before I even went to the pokey - and I ran around the yard and played with a ball with her - that was a blast.  
Anyway - the reason I am thinking about all of this?  Is because tonight I was watching House Hunters with my Mom - and she looked at me and said "Home is wherever we are together Peep, isn't it?"  And I looked at her and she gave me some kisses.  Then I thought to myself "Wow - she is sooo right!  
It may have not been the "perfect" house when we moved here, but it's getting there.  And as soon as my Mom's bed was set up - in her bedroom?  I knew this was my new home.  That and the fact that we are all together.  That's what really makes it home for me.  
Sure, it wasn't easy in the beginning - the first year and a half was not the best.  We didn't know anything about wells, and pumps. and all electric heat.  And the floods!  All FOUR of them!  With that last one - the water heater - being the mother of them all!  But - Mom says that all the "crappy stuff" is over now.  And - I remember that even through the worst parts of it?  The fact that we were all together made it lmore than worth it.  
So tonight - when I was just watching House Hunters with my Mom?  I thought to myself with a big fat sigh... "It's so good to be home"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How great my mom is?  Everynight she spends special "alone" time with me - she pets me, rubs my belly, does a complete doggie massage of me - from my head and EARS (love that) right down to my hiney!  Even though she is gearing up to work twelve hour days?  She still does this every single night with me.  And!  Even better?  She tells me all these things like how she thinks about me all day, and she cannot wait until the snow is gone so that we can take our nightly walks in the front yard and check on all of our plants, and that I am here very special Peep and that she love, Loves, LOVES ME!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love it!  Mommie and Aunt Babs are home with us, and I know that means we will all go out and play in it later.  And every time I go out to do my business - when I come back in, my Mom is there waiting with a big fluffly towel to dry me off.  I bet that there will be  nice fire going later.  Nana's going to bake - she always does that when it's bad outside.   Trusty says it will be a sour cream cake - oh!  What's that?  Trusty says he must get that recipe to Maggie May - okay Trust!  Anne is going crazy because she wants us to all go outside with Mom and Aunt Babs and play - calm down girl!  We'll do it soon!  Love a snow day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Went to the vet today.  For my rabies, distemper, shots, and my heartworm test along with the yearly physical.  Everything's good.  But!  Holy Cow!  I weighed in at - are you ready?  ONE HUNDRED and TWELVE POUNDS!  BOL!  What can I say?  I'm "wide"!  And of course I was PERFECTLY well-behaved.  Unlike a certain Oliver Louis - who cried in the car all the way there and then when we got there was a total DRAMA QUEEN!  He almost jumped off the table - or tried.  But Rich had a good grip on him.  Dr. P thought is was extremely funny that I am so Large and in Charge and yet when he offered me one of the cookies they have there - I spit it out!  BOL!  
I even got my nails trimmed!  Woo-hoo!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Santa - I am sure you know what a very very very good boy I've been this year.  I've participated in all of the diva's (Oliver Louis) shows that he put on.  I've not peed or pooped in the house like some others that shall remain nameless (you know who you are, Anne and Kylie), and I have been a good boy for my mother since day one.
And you must know that when I growl at Anne or Trusty or any other dog - like in the mornings when I want to ease into waking up and Anne is jumping allover me?  That I don't really mean it.  She knows I don't because that doesn't stop her from kissing me wildly.  And sometimes when my mom comes home I growl because I want to get near her first - or if I have a shoe in my mouth - but Trusty doesn't pay attention either.
Anyway - I am going to leave you some cookies and milk - so you can have the energy you need to make it down to my Nana Karen's house and make sure my dad, Rocket and my Aunt Gwennie get their treats too!  And my mom, Katie - who's in Missouri, okay?  Love always, Dudley]]></content:encoded>

That's what it's all about this time of year - to count your blessings, and if you can, to pay it forward and give back in some way.
We are not having a big Thanksgiving because Aunt Mair is staying in Cambridge and working at a Soup Kitchen, Aunt Babs and John will go to Aunt Debbie's (home of Jamie-Marie the Wonder Dog) and so it will be me, and my brothers, sister, Nana, Mom and my Dad will be here for dinner too!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's right - today, Friday, October 30th is my birthday!  And!  Mom is home with me today!  I cannot stop smiling and wagging I am so happy about this.  Of course, the fact that Alison's wedding is tomorrow (yes, Halloween!) may have something to do with her staying home - but I'd like to think that my special day has something to do with it - and!  Since we woke up this morning - all she's been doing is calling me "Birthday Boy!" and giving me hugs and kisses!  I know that I am getting a special treat later too.  Plus I already had a great time this past week - jamming with my brothers and sister!  I tell you my hiney is going to be soooooo tired tonight from all the wagging I'm gonna be doing all day today!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mum noticed two nights ago that I had a boo-boo on my face.  A bite mark.  Thanks you very much Miss Anne Marie.  At least I know you've had your shots - but did you have to puncture my skin?  And pull out some hair?  FROM MY HANDSOME FACE?  And when Mum saw it - immediately the first aid stuff comes out - and I do not like that one bit.  But I let her do what she wanted to do.  Peroxide, rubbing alcohal whatever and and then the ointment.  It feels better today but she still will not stop.  And!  I am supposed to get my shots soon - so she'll probably drag me in there this week!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well there was a HUGE Flood on Friday night into Saturday morning - and Mom was a wild woman - all over the place - I thought that once the ceiling fell it would be the end of Home Owner Dramas for a while.  But I guess I was wrong.
Mom was cleaning and trying to get rid of water like crazy.  But you know what?  Despite all that happened and it being a totally wild day?  Last night she says "C'mere Peep - look what I have for you!"  And I ran over and gasped!  It was a beautiful red patent leather Coach collar!  With a brand new name tag!  One that looks like a License plate and my name as the Plate Number - and on the other side a picture of me and all my info!  
Even with all the stuff that happened yesterday - she still thought of me!  I love her!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Annie has the same habit that I used to have - taking things and hiding them outside in the yard.  

I have replaced this habit with a new one:  I walk around the house with a sneaker, shoe, slipper, piece of clothing, in my mouth - for a while.  When I am happy, like when Mom comes home?  I immediately run for a shoe.  When Nana wakes up in the morning and says "good morning!" to me?  I immediately pick up her slipper and start walking around with it.  When Aunt Babs tells me I am a good boy?  I will even go so far as to go into her handbag and bring out something and walk around with it.  

But Annie?  She is still on the "get, hide it outside, and feign innocence" habit.  I will say this for her though - she usually takes stuff that is already outside.  For instance, Mom's pedometer - had fallen off her pocket and Anne immediately picked it up, dug a hole and covered it.

The other evening, my friend Tom came over.  He was sitting outside with my Mom.  They were talking, and then he had his legs in the pool, with his (BRAND NEW) cell phone on the deck beside him.  He got up and forgot to grab his phone.  Anne waited, then pounced.  Took it into the side yard and halfway buried it.  

Poor Tom.  The next day he was crazy looking for his BRAND NEW cell phone.  He came over and he and Mom looked allover the house for it.  She said "you must've taken it with you".  And that was that.  

Yesterday Aunt Babs was out in the yard - scooping poop - and heard something beeping.  And she dug it up and yup!  There it was - still brand new, totally intact, and working fine - Tom's cell phone - save for some dirt!  

When he came over to pick it up?  I immediately grabbed a sneaker and RAN to him!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Word in the house is that Annie is getting a bath today - her FIRST ever!  Holy crap!  She is like over a year old and hasn't gotten dirty enough to need a bath?  Must be because she's a girl - because I KNOW she likes to roll in the grass and hang in the mud - and yet when she walks in the house - no dirt!  How the heck does she do that?  
I happen to like the mud, the dirt, the grass and it all seems to like me because it's usually ALLOVER me!  But I also like to take baths, get right in the tub when I am told.  But Anne?  She is going to be a different story I bet.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ but according to my Mom, we had to do it.  We have a little hill in our back yard that had all these low growing prickley juniper (we think) bushes on it.  Mom did not like them.  Aunt Babs did not like them.  Nana did not like them.  So Saturday night, Mom decided - time to really get them out.
We do this type of stuff together - she does the work and I am there for support.  Usually she talks to me the whole time.  And this time was no different - except there was a bit more bad words than usual.  
Those plants did NOT want to come out of the ground!  But she got most of them - and then said "Oh my goodness!  Peep!  Look at me!" and I did, and she was covered in dirt!  So we went inside and she took a shower and then we went out and surveryed the garden and the side and front yards.  Let me tell you something - we BOTH slept really well that night!  
And then Sunday afternoon she was out there again.  This time Anne Marie was the first shift, and I came out for the second.  Actually I was out there as soon as I saw Mom throw a stick for Anne to fetch.  As soon as I saw there was some type of fetch happening - I WAS THERE!  So while Anne and I played tug-o-war with the stick, Mom got the last one of those bushes out.  And again?  COVERED with dirt.  So she went inside and put on her bathing suit to go in the pool.  And as soon as she came outside, it got cloudy.  She said "I don't care Peep, there's no thunder yet - so I am going in"  and in she went.  And then it started to rain - and out she came! 

There's only one group I know that actually liked those juniper bushes - the frogs - we saw them jumping allover the place!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So last night Mom was in the pool, the inflated ball was in the pool and I was barking my head off at it.  Mom said "Stop" - and sort of threw it at me, not at me directly but to where I could sniff it.  I thought about going down those stairs but Mom was too far away - she was skimming the leaves off the top and then she was pushing that little vacuum around the bottom - but then she started to SWIM - like kicking and moving back and forth and those feet of hers really splashed lots of water!  Then Oliver Louis came running down the stairs and said "What the hell is she doing?"  I said "I dunno - I think she's swimming" And she laughed at us and then?  THEN?  She DOVE UNDER THE WATER and swam the length of the pool - at which point we both started BARKING OUR HEADS off!  Like "YOU GET RIGHT BACK UP HERE MOM!  WE NEED YOU TO BE WHERE WE CAN SEE YOU!"  And she came up right at the edge where we were - and laughed at us - and then we both started kissing her face - and she said "Now this?  Is the BEST thing that has happened to me ALL DAY!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well don't you know it - that Mom of mine got me to go into the pool!  How'd she do it, you ask?  Why with a big blow up ball that her and Aunt Babs were tossing back and forth to eachother.  I was going ABSOLUTELY out of MY MIND!  So finally, after Aunt Babs had gotten out - I approached the stairs and before I knew it - Splash!  I was in there!  But I got sort of scared because I realized that my paws were no way going to touch the ground like in my other pool.  Mom said "It's okay, Peep, I got you and I won't let you go!"  And she didn't!  So I swam around a bit and then headed back towards the stairs - and I will say that it was quite refreshing - but I never go my mouth on that gosh darn BALL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so Mom said to me "let's go - let's go do our front yard tour" last night and I was like "Allllright!"  So we sneak out the back gate (Because Oliver Louis 1. Can't be trusted 2. Is a drama Queen 3. Pulls a fit if anyone goes ANYWHERE without HIM) 
And as I go to the front lawn - what do I see?  Some little itty bitty thing run across the path - JEEEEEPPPPERRRS!  I take off towards it but it runs to the stone wall and somehow gets IN TO THE WALL!  
I put my two front paws up on the wall and am looking allover for it.
Mom was laughing as she came up to me and said "First a bunny rabbit and now you saw your first Chipmunk!" Well I was certainly confused.  I looked at her as if to say "Chip-What?"  Of course right after that I was on to the next smell and checking out our veggie garden.

So when we went back inside I was telling Trustina all about these "Chip-Things" Trusty, of course got ALL EXCITED because he thought I was referring to Chocolate Chips - BOL!  He is ALWAYS about FOOD!  

But then who walks in the room?  Ollie Lou - with a bit of a sore hiney after yesterday's music jam to the Black Eyed Peas - says he thinks he "sprained his hiner" - how does one do that?  Anywag - he says - "Chipmunk? You saw a chipmunk?  That's like the cartoon we watch - 'Alvin & the Chipmunks' remember?  We always listen to them sing that song at Christmastime?"  And I was like "Ohhhhhh!  So that's what they look like when they aren't cartoons!"  And with that he and his sore hiney turned and left.  With Trusty still looking for chocolate chips.  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

I could hardly get it in my mouth to bring it back to Mom so she could throw it for me!  It took a few tries but I did it!  And poor Kylie - I thought he was going to faint right there when he saw it.  Of course there's no WAY he'll ever get it in his mouth - but that didn't stop him from throwing his body on it to try to keep it from me!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a great weekend - especially when my Mom and I went out and did our front and side yard and garden walk at night.  We stayed out there for a really really long time one night.  We had to tie tomato plants up because they were going to start drooping, so we had to go into the garage - which at first I was afraid of when Mum made the door go up - but after that I was fine.  Then we got the twine and went back out to the garden.  Then we had to discuss it at length - and then we figured out what to do.  Oh!  And the marigolds we planted all around the garden?  Are all coming up nicely!  
Then we went into the front yard and did some significant weeding in the front bed.  
Then we went to our new side bed and checked out the zucchini - lots of flowers!  And the zinnas, and lupines, hollyhocks, veronica, phlox and black-eyed Susans.  There's a lot of stuff in that one bed!  
We discovered that those BAD BAD BAD Japenses Beetles had finally shown up - a little later than usual this year, and we did what we had to do to get rid of them.
Then we checked out our wisteria and our climbing rose bush down on the back fence.  Lovely.
Then we sat down on the steps and just talked and talked and had hugs and kisses - for a long time.
It was great!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Friday afternoon Dad came over.  He usually does on Fridays so that was not a surprise.  What was a surprise, however, is what he and Mum did!  They put those stairs that have been on the deck for so long that I thought they were deck furniture, INTO the POOL!  Holy cow!~  
Then!  Mum brought out this box and and took this big piece of yellow stuff out of it.  Dad hooked up a pump to it while it was on the hammock, and started pumping away.  Well - it grew and grew and GREW!  Into a big Yellow Monster!  And then?  They took a SECOND one out of the box and did the same thing allover again!  I was hanging back just watching.  I wasn't really afraid of them until - GASP!  They put them into the pool!  And they started moving around BY THEMSELVES!  I was BESIDE MYSELF.  I ran onto that pool deck and proceeded to BARK MY HEAD OFF at them, telling them in no uncertain terms that this was MY HOUSE and they were to cease and desist with this moving around and scaring the bejeebers out of me IMMEDIATELY.  
Then Mum  made me go back inside.  But the next morning?  When I went outside?  They were in the pool moving around again.  I had just about had it with them and started the barking again.  Then Mum came outside and grabbed one - I ran away - and she put it on the side of the deck, so I felt better.  And as soon as she did the same thing with the other one?  I stopped barking at them and being afraid.  But they had better just cool it with the moving around in that pool by themselves.  I need to tell Ollie about these Monster thingers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has a new thing that she does every night with me!  
We wait until Ollie isn't around and then we both go out the gate into the front and side yards to check out all the plants and the garden.  
I get to go because (unlike someone else) I LISTEN to my mother when she says to "come".  BOL!  
We check out the front beds first and then head over to the side and check out the veggies that we have planted.  And I gallop allover and then Ollie usually is in the backyard crying like a big baby - so we head back towards the gate and before we go in we check out the Wisteria and climbing rose bush that we planted there and the impatients and Aunt Babs planted, then we head back inside.
We usually do this every night - and I love it!]]></content:encoded>

I happen to know that he was totally out of character the other evening, when my friend Tom stopped by - to take Mum out for a drink.  
Ollie says he cannot stand him, right?  Well, let me tell you something people!  He was allover him like a sirloin steak!  Kissing him, and jumping on him - it was a totally disguisting PDA!  Un-Be-Lievable!  

Of course it was nice to see him - but geez!  He didn't have to go that far!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Trusty has gone beyond badness - from eating an entire pound of Lindt truffles a few years back and sending Nana into a frantic tailspin calling the Poison hotline, rushing him to the vet - not to mention him pooping out the wrappers of the truffles for a month afterwards, to silently sneaking out of the kitchen with an entire loaf of Italian bread in his mouth - all one hundred or so pounds of him.  I swear he is the only Golden I know who can walk on tippy-toes.
Well last night he did it again.  Nana was making an omelet for dinner - for HERSELF - she took out some potatoes leftover from the night before and put them on top of the stove - while she went to get aspargus (also from the night before) and some eggys out.  Trusty decided he needed to see if those potatoes were good enough for his Nana - so he started to help himself - Nana was not happy - yelled at him and bopped him on the head - and accidentially hit his bad ear - so he gave a little yelp - which he later told me was more for effect than anything else.  
Now you would think it would end there.  But this is Trusty we're talking about.  So you know it's not over.  
Nana made a beautiful omelet - just like her Mom (the original Nana!) used to make.  And she wrapped what was left over in tin foil and put it up on the stove top for Aunt Babs to have when she came home.
We were all outside - looking at the flowers - and Nana and Mom were watching me and Annie running around the yard - Kylie was crying (because he wanted a ball) and Ollie Lou was, naturally, glued to Mom like his spots and dots are to his body!  
So - where was Trusty?  That's right - he took the omelet off the stove top, went into his mom's (Aunt Babs) room.  Unfolded tin foil and ate the entire omelet - which was about half of a LARGE omelet.  Mom discovered it - and showed it to Nana - who was simply SHOCKED.
And Trusty?  Laying there right next to Nana - snoozing happily away - no doubt dreaming of the birthday cake we are having this weekend for Nana's birthday!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here's a scene that unfolded this morning - 

Mom:  "Duds! Where are you?"
ME:  "Here I am!  Here I am!  Did you want to give me some kisses or perhaps a coo" - STOPS SHORT when SEES Scarf she is holding
Mom: "Did you take this scarf outside?"
ME:  Innocent face - BIG EYES - "What?"  "What is that?  Is that a new scarf?"
Mom:  "You know it is NOT a new scarf and you know that I found it outside in the backyard, did you take it out there?"
ME: "I have no idear what you are talking about"
Mom: "Aunt Babs said she saw you run out with it in your mouth"
ME: "That's just crazy talk!"  "How can she be sure?  We (me, Trustine and Anne) are all the same color!  As a matter of fact so is Kylie!" 
Kylie, upon hearing his name comes to top of stairs - sees Mom holding scarf turns and runs for the hills!  
Mom: "Hmmmmmmm....she seems to think it was you, are you going to give me an answer?"
ME:  "I don't think so - it may get me into trouble - but I would be more than happy to give you about one hundred kisses!"
Mom: "You are not in trouble - it's not any worse for the wear - and of course I want those kisses!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had such a swell time yesterday.  First of all - no more working on Sundays for Mom!  Yay!  Then of course because it was Easter - we got some special treats - like Easter bread for breakfast and special cookies.  And then!  Mom and Aunt Babs decided that we would go for a walk to see those cows across the street!  It was me and Ollie with Mom and Anne Marie with Aunt Babs.  And guess what?  Me and Ollie were so much more BEHAVED than Anne was!  We walked nice on our leashes because we know how.  Of course we lunged when we wanted to get to a certain smelly area, but not badly.  But Anne?  Well she was just the BADDEST!  Pulling Aunt Babs allover the place!  We finally got across the way - and Aunt Babs said we had to turn around and go home because Anne was being so bad.  So we did - but we still had a great time with all those SMELLS!~  The cows were eating and wagging their tails!  And I know that one cow was looking at me, I wonder if she remembered me from when I was over there rolling around in the cow poop back in September?  I think she smiled at me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mother has always told me that the reason she calls me "Peep" is because the first time she saw me - she saw the way I was peeping out at her - and that has always been a name for me.  "Peep" or "Mr. Peep McPherson" or "Peeper" - I love them all.  I also love how at Easter time - they have those things called "Peeps"!  Makes me laugh everytime I hear someone say that word!  Sigh.....No matter what she calls me, I just love my mother!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am the only one in this whole entire house who knows this - and I am NOT telling anyone - four or two-legged.

My Mum told me that today is the last day she is working overtime - it is all over tonight and she is off the whole weekend and goes back to her regular schedule on Monday.  YAY!  

Not even that big fathead Oliver Loius knows - and he is annoying me by gloating over the fact that he was correct in his selection of who would be leaving Idol this week - so I had to stick it to him - because yes, he got it right - but he didn't pick Anoop as being in the bottom three - I love to annoy him! 
And just wait till he finds out that I knew this BIG secret all along and never told him!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, Mom got up early AGAIN and went to work.  This is starting to really get to me.  I wait all day for her to come home.  It's not like I am sitting at the front door waiting for hours - I mean I am a very busy Golden with things to do like Breakfast toasty with Nana, watching telly with Nana, playing with Anne, barking at Trusty, letting Kylie nap next to me, and fighting with Oliver Louis.....just to name a few.  But there is no one better than my mother.  The way she smiles when she sees me - it's like her whole face lights up.  And the way she hugs me when she gets home.  I am so used to that by now that if she doesn't do it right away and everyone is crowding around her to say "Hi!" I growl at them all to GET AWAY!  And then she usually remembers and says "Oh my Peep!"  and gives me a big hug.
And at night she is the only one who knows just the right touch with doggie massage for me.  And even though she still does it - I miss her being here with me on the weekends.  
We have planting to do!  She bought all these new rosebushes and promised we'd do them soon.  
Sighhhhhhh I know it won't be for very much longer but boy I sure do miss her NOW!]]></content:encoded>

Karma is a Boomerang. 

Whether it's April Fool or not - you NEVER tell a golden that the back yard is filled with green tennis balls left by the tennis ball fairy!  EVER!  That is just in such bad taste.  
But that's okay because Mom said she'd get me - NOT HIM - a special treat!  YAY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I thought I lived in the â€ścountryâ€ť when I lived in Peekskill â€“ and I guess I did, but living in Putnam Valley is just a little bit more â€ścountryâ€ť than Peekskill.
And now?  The smells!  Oh the glorious smells that come out each and every day!
The smells of the buds coming out on the trees!  The smells of just, just FRESHNESS everywhere when we go outside!  The sounds of the stream running in the back of our house.  And the smells of those little rabbits, and chipmunks and all the other animals just makes me perk up my ears sometimes!  I love it!  I can smell those cows across the street â€“ all four of them.  
And! I love that everything is sort of starting over again all nice and new and justâ€¦.justâ€¦FRESH!  Itâ€™s the best!  In our new home.
And Annie is feeling the same way because think about it; this is really the first Spring that sheâ€™s old enough to appreciate or actually that she has her own big backyard to appreciate it in.  Last Spring she was living in a townhouse and had to be walked all the time.  Last Spring was my last in the old house, and while I loved it â€“ this is sooo much better.  The smells, the land, the viewsâ€¦.. just everything!  I love the smells of Spring!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Every week it happens.  And we know it is going to happen.  And yet?  We cannot help ourselves from getting all totally excited and wanting to go out and be with HIM.  Who is this person, pray tell?  It is none other than the "DoodyCalls" Man!  He comes once a week and scoops all of our poop in the really big backyard.  Now I know what you're thinking "How ridiculous!  To spend money on such a thing!" Or maybe you're thinking - "Hey!  Great idear!" either way - it was NOT my mother's idea - it was Nana's.  They were driving in the car one day and saw a truck with "DoodyCalls" on it and a web address - so Nana said "this is perfect for all that poop that no one could get out to scoop in the snow this winter"  and she called them.  So the plan is to have them come until it's a bit warmer out and then Aunt Babs and Mom can be doing the DAILY scooping of the POOPS.  Because, let's face it - going from having one doggie to two doggies - isn't that much of a difference - but Mom said when I came along and we went from two doggies to three?  (especially with the SIZE of my poops!) it was MONUMENTAL - so can you imagine what FIVE doggies is like!?  Actually it's more like four and a half because Kylie is so little he does little poopies - BOL!~  But still!  
And every week?  We get all excited when he comes - and we want to go outside and play with him - but Nana says "No" and gives us all toasty to quiet us down.  So it's a win-win type of situation - our lawn is getting cleaned up and we are getting toasty!  This morning?  Trustine had butter on his nose!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So yesterday was Saturday - and finally!~ It was really WARM outside!  It was soooo nice that Mom was outside with us!  And I started right away - barking at her saying "Come ON!  Get a ball for me!  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!  I need you to throw a ball!"  And, she did!  And wowie - what fun that was for me!  Anydog that knows me - knows I am just OBSESSED WITH BALLS!  But - this new house?  Has a really really HUGE yard - and Mom was way up on the deck - so everytime she threw it?  I had to run down all the stairs and then into the yard and get it and then climb back up ALL THOSE STAIRS again!  So about the sixth or seventh time I decided I'd just hang with my ball for a while down below - and what better place than a big puddle of MUD!  It was GLORIOUS!  Anne Marie was shocked!  Looked like she wanted to try it - but no way was she getting her paws on my ball! 
Unfortunately when I did climb the stairs to go inside - Ball in Mouth 0f course, I was met by Mom holding a towel - and giving me the look.  I took a few steps back and she said "Dudley!" And I knew what I was in for - I walked in - got the ball taken away and put in the dishwasher - because it was going "night-night" and was escorted into the bathroom - when we got into the bathroom she looked at me and said "get in" and so I had no choice but to get in the tub.  But you know what?  It was pretty nice - because the shower thinger?  Comes off - so Mom was able to spray me with it - and it was very Spa-Like - Gentle - BOL!  And I got lots of shampoo - and Nana came in and said "OH MY GOODNESS!  Look how dirty that water is!"  And it was really really BROWN - just from all the MUD!  Then Anne stuck her head in and saw me in there and was interested but then was like "Uhhhh - that is sooooo NOT FOR ME"  and Mom laughed and told me a secret - that she will be next to have a bath!  One day soon!  Really what's not to like about it?  After I got out and got toweled and was allowed to leave the bathroom - I promptly ran into Nana's room and jumped on her bed and rolled and rolled around on it!  BOL!!! Then Mom had me go downstairs with her so I could get brushed - and after I was brushed and felt really good?  I ran around and rolled allover the place - BOL!  
The bath was nice but the Ball and the MUD?  MUCH MORE FUN!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This week it will be six months since we moved into our new home.  And while it was really really REALLY hard for me to be away from my mom and in the kennel last year for like ten weeks or so â€“ seeing what type of life I have had these past six months truly makes up for it and then some.

I have the best time â€“ every day!  I get up every morning and my mother is there saying â€śGood Morning Peep!â€ť to me and letting me out with Ollie Lou and Annie so we can roam our huge yard and do what we have to do.  And while we are out there we hear that silly rooster going â€ścock-a-doodle-DOOOO!â€ť The first time I heard it?  It scared the bejeebers out of me!  BOL!  But Ollie told me what it was (how he knew this I have no idea!) and I was okay after that.  Then we come inside and get a few cookies.  Then we all go upstairs to the kitchen and Mom pours her coffee and gives us some more treats, by this time usually Kylie and if he feels like it, Trusty, join us.  He loves his sleep/on the bed-cozy time, that Trusty!  
Then we all go out together again.  And if Trusty is with us?  He does his â€śIâ€™m King of This World!â€ť bark and we all laugh!  Then I usually go in Nanaâ€™s room and get on her bed with Kyle.  After Mom and Aunt Babs leave  for workâ€“ we all do some nice sleeping with Nana, until she gets up and shares her breakfast with us â€“ usually lots of toasty!  
Then itâ€™s a day of playing and sleeping and just enjoying everythingâ€¦â€¦Nana and I watch everything out of the sunroom window â€“ the birds, the brook, and the deer.  And when Aunt Babs comes home, and after that Mom, we all make a big fuss over them.  Then dinner, first for us and then for Nana, Aunt Babs and Mom.  And we all stay in the kitchen and have the BEST TIME.  There is NEVER any yelling or screaming â€“ usually just laughing. 
Of course, there is soooooo much love all day â€“ from Nana, Aunt Babs, and Mom.  As well as my brothers and sister.  And then when we all settle down in the evening I start out with Nana, sometimes go in and visit with Aunt Babs for a bit, but always, always ALWAYS end up on my Mommieâ€™s bed with Oliver Louis.  That is something I love.  My mom strokes my head and talks to me and then I get all cozy and go to sleep â€“ always touching her!  So this is my life right now â€“ at least Monday through Friday â€“ the weekends are a bajillion times better than this even!  

 I think back to the old house where we had to worry about Dad coming in and yelling and being mean and not making any sense because he stayed in the garage till late and drank too many beers â€“ I think about how we were always fine until he came inside, and when he yelled it always made me and Ollie cluster around Mom.  It seems like a whole other lifetime ago.   I  get sad â€“ because when I think of Rems and how when Dad yelled he really got upset â€“ and I wish he could be here with us now â€“ Mom says that Rems knows â€“ and heâ€™s really really happy for us and with us â€“ just from Heaven.   

Sometimes I feel bad for Dad, because I feel like he must be lonely â€“ but when he calls and is being obnoxious? Mom just hangs up the phone and says to us â€śWe donâ€™t have to put up with that anymore now, do we?â€ť And that makes me feel better and not so bad for him. 

 Mom says that Spring is coming â€“ and when the weather is just a little bit better?  She is going to take me and Annie on walks.  Annie needs to go with me because that makes her less afraid.  And Mom has promised we can go across the street and visit the cows that live there.  I am so excited about that â€“ because I love cows!  And she has also promised that we can go and visit Carson!  And she promised that this year we will really go and see my brother Toby and Uncle Bob! 
So every night, right before I go to sleep?  All I can think of is how much this place, and these people (and doggies!) that I love is really a special place, a place called Happiness.]]></content:encoded>

		<description>Okay so here's the latest on the Presidential Doggie Search:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so here's the latest on the Presidential Doggie Search:
updated 11:16 a.m. ET, Wed., Feb. 25, 2009
The whole world, it seems, wants to know: What kind of dog are the Obamas getting and, for goodness sake, when?

Speaking to PEOPLE at the White House recently, Michelle Obama leaned in and confided: "You're getting some scoops here."

So, when? In April, Mrs. Obama says â€“ after she and the President take daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, on a vacation for spring break.

Here's a sample of a typical family conversation on the matter: "So Sasha says, 'April 1st.' I said, 'April.' She says, 'April 1st.' It's, like, April!," Mrs. Obama recalls. "Got to do it after spring break. You can't get a new dog and then go away for a week."

And what kind of dog will soon be frolicking on the South Lawn? Mrs. Obama says the family is looking for a rescue Portuguese water dog who is "old enough" and a "match" for the family dynamic.

"Temperamentally they're supposed to be pretty good," she says of the breed that Sen. Ted Kennedy has also lobbied for (he has two Water dogs of his own). "From the size perspective, they're sort of middle of the road â€“ it's not small, but it's not a huge dog. And the folks that we know who own them have raved about them. So that's where we're leaning."

The name game
The only thing still up in the air is the name. And Mom's not feeling it with some of the names her girls have come up with. "Oh, the names are really bad. I don't even want to mention it, because there are names floating around and they're bad," Mrs. Obama says with a laugh. "You listen and you go â€“ like, I think, Frank was one of them. Frank! Moose was another one of them. Moose. I said, well, what if the dog isn't a moose? Moose. I'm like, no, come on, let's work with the names a little bit."

Asked if she can believe the public interest in her family dog search, Mrs. Obama shakes her head. "Okay, that's surprising," she says. "One of the things I didn't anticipate is the level of the excitement about the dog. I knew my kids were excited. They've been excited for years. They've even calmed down, because they feel like, 'They said we're going to get one, so let's just shut up about it.' "

Diplomatically, and careful not to insult enthusiastic dog-lovers, she adds: "It's all great and gracious attention. People are just being as helpful as you can imagine. So I know that we will find the perfect breed. And we'll find people who are caring folks who will help us find the dog of our dreams."


WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?  THE DOG of EVERYONE'S DREAMS?  Is either ALL or PART GOLDEN!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I used to just sort of like Thursday nights - because I knew the next day was Friday and that would mean MOMMIE was MINE for the weekend!  BUT!  Now?  My mom works a nine hour day and has every OTHER FRIDAY OFF!  So she has a long weekend!  Which means that I have a LONG weekend of LOVE with my MOTHER!  And!  Even better?  This weekend is President's Day Weekend and Mom already told me that means she is home on Monday too!  I am sooooo happy about this!  She has already whispered to me that we are going to go to Petsmart together - just the two of us!  I can't wait!
So that's why I am really really LOVING every other Thursday night now - because I KNOW she will be sleeping a little later and spending a lot of time with me the next day.  
Now all we need is for Spring to come!  We are very anxious to get out there and start planting and PLAYING WITH BALLS!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't know what's going on lately but everytime I turn around?  Kylie is with me!  I lay down to take a nap, and before I know it - there he is curled up next to me.  I go downstairs to hang out - and there he is - right behind me!  I go outside - and suddenly he's out there with me!  I mean I don't mind or anything because he is the littlest one out of our bunch and he's okay to hang with - but I wonder - why me?  He always used to be like this with Trusty - but I think it's because of Anne Marie - she tortures him all the time.  Everytime we get treats?  She tries to steal his!  That is just plain MEAN! And outside?  She is always chasing him!  Not right!  So maybe he knows that because I won't put up with that type of behaviour from her - he figures he will hang out with me.  That has to be it - plus - let's face it - I am, after all, me!  Who wouldn't want to hang out with ME!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am really really ready to say this: I believe that I AM HOME - I mean I know I'm home - but finally something clicked in my little doggie head - and I started to sleep with my butt touching my mom's and I started to get on the bed and grrrrr at her at night to say 
"HEY! I am here and want you to pet me  - NOW PLEASE!" 
I sort of didn't want to believe it before - I don't know why - because my whole life?  After Nana Karen's house I was with my mom - at my house.  But I guess that trip to the kennel - the one that lasted for like sixty more days than mom ever wanted it to - made me sort of skeptical?  And let's not forget who I was with  -  the DRAMA QUEEN - Oliver Louis - so I guess maybe that sort of influenced me a bit - and even tho when I first got here Mom kept saying - "We are HOME now!" I wanted to believe it?  I was reluctant - but now?  I BELIEVE!  With all of my heart I am sooo soo sooooo Happy that I am with my Mother and my brothers and baby sister and Aunt Babs and Nana - and I am Happy to say it for REAL - I BELIEVE!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's really getting to be Christmas-time in my new house!  Today, Mom put decorations outside!  Lights and roping and a wreath and two trees in pots that light up!  Sighhhhh - it's BEAUTIFUL!  I love it.  It has been a very long time since we had outside decorations - we didn't even have a tree last year - but we already have a small one up downstairs and Mom says that we are getting TWO MORE!  WOW!  I wonder if Santa will leave presents under each tree for me?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night my friend Tom came over!  Any dog who knows me knows I just LOVE him.  And he was working on Mom's closet - so she could use it - so I saw a tube of spackling compound and because I was so happy that he was there and wanted to show him how happy I was and that I could actually be helpful if he needed me - I picked it up and walked over to him with it - wagging all the time - he laughed and said "No Dudley - we're past the spackling stage here but thanks anyway"  I felt so good!  So good that I walked around with the spackle in my mouth for a bit longer until Mom saw me and said "Thank you!" and I gave it to her.  BUT!  Then she brought out a - a - GASP - BALL!  And we played outside for a bit - well as much as one can play with one's mother when Oliver Louis is on the scene trying to ruin everyone's good time by attacking certain doggies that are trying to bring their mom the ball!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Rems, I hope you can read this - Happy birthday my big brother.  I miss you so much - in the mornings because you were such a "morning person", in the afternoons, because you LOVED to play tag in the yard with me, kept Ollie amused so I could play fetch with Mom, in the evenings because that's when you licked my ears and helped me to wind down.  

I wish you could be here today because you would LOVE LOVE LOVE this new house!  AND THIS NEW YARD!  And!  Even more important?  You could get that Anne Marie to BEHAVE herself and not steal cookies from other doggies!  And teach her some manners!  

But the most important reason I wish you were here?  Is a selfish one - because I miss you so much and love you - and you are the best big brother I will ever have - and because I know you are doing very important work up there with that God Guy, most of the time I am very good and understanding about this but once in a while, like on your birthday?  Mom says it's okay to cry because I miss you.  She says you know how I feel.  But I am going to tell you anyway, I miss you and love you forever and always, your baby brother, Duds]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, today is my birthday!  And the day started out GREAT!  Mum made me sleep with her and Ollie Lou last night so when I woke up?  First thing I heard was "happy birthday Peep!" And to be home? In my new house?  Where I had birthday kisses from Trustine, Kyle, Ollie (yes, but he will NEVER admit it BOL!) and baby Annie?  That was the greatest!  
I played all day and Nana gave me extra cookies!  Then when Mum came home?  She told me "Saturday is going to be the "Special Birthday Celebration Day" for you - we will go out together and we'll all have special treats, okay?"  And I said "sure Mom - because I had a BLAST in my NEW backyard!"  The men even came and cut down a tree today - so I had lots to bark at!  And then for dinner I got to have chicken noodle soup with my regular dinner - I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chicken Noodle soup!  And I want to say Thank you thank you thank you - to all my pup pals who gave me all those special gifts!  Winnie and his pack, Louie, Chance and Peyton, Nelly, and Pippina and everyone else - I am so thankful for so many things - especially my family and all my pals!  What a great birthday!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just thought about something today - we have been here over a month now and back in the early Summer?  When I wrote about what Home meant to me - when we were sort of in between homes and didn't know where the new one was yet?  All of that is true - the smells of Home, my spot on mom's bed, waking up and smelling the wonderful smells of Mom and OL.    But there are some new good smells too!  Waking up and seeing and kissing and smelling not just Mom and OL but now Annie, and Kylie and Trustina too.  The smell of the LEAVES!  There are so many trees here - we didn't have lots of trees in the old house - these leaves are GREAT!  The big yard.  The toasty we have in weekend mornings......and the fact that we are all together...oh!  And the smell of Nana and Aunt Babs!  These are all the BEST smells in the world.  And after being here for about six weeks it just hit me! I was worried that I wouldn't have those smells again - and yes, in the beginning it really didn't feel like it but you know what?  I really am Home !!]]></content:encoded>

I love him - I was telling him how much while he was reading the instructions on mom's ceiling tiles - the ones that he says cannot be used and they have to bring back.  So while he was reading and Mom was organizing - because that's all she does every night since we moved here a month or so ago - and she found my Santa Claus costume for Halloween - I ran over to her - very very excited!  And yes!  She let me model it for Tom!  He thought I looked FABULOUS!  Sigh....he is the best. (Of course not the BEST as my Mom, but pretty good - BOL!)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night?  We were all bothering Aunt Babs a bit too much - she told us to go and see what Mom was doing - so downstairs we went - and GASP!  Guess who was there with her!?  One of my favourites in the whole world - TOM!  They were both sleeping!  So we all got on the bed with them - Ollie wasn't happy - talking under his breath stuff like "who does this guy think he is" and blah blah blah - anywag - even though I was farting to beat the band?  I had to, simply had to be near my friend Tom.  So I got up on that bed and eventually fixed it so that I was his pillow! Yes!  Me, Dudley - I was where his head was - and he was liking it!   I know he was liking it more than Ollie's butt in his face!  BOL!  And I heard him say in that deep Tom voice to my mom "I think I have a dog as a pillow"  and she said "of course you know it's Duds - because he's so in love with you" and then we all went back to sleep!  Ahhhhhh.  Come back anytime Tom and I will be your comfy cozy pillow - I promise!]]></content:encoded>

Even though he is always telling me that I need to drop a few pounds - I still love him - and WAIT till he sees me!  Because Aunt Babs say I DO look like I 've dropped a pound or two!  Oh boy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today it was chilly when we woke up.  A crisp Fall day.  The perfect day Mom said for ME to go TO THE FARMERS MARKET!  YAY!  Of course there was some sulking by the Diva, Oliver Louis.  He was under the impression that it was HIM that'd be going to the Market today - but since he's been out twice this week to see Dr. K and the second time?  He got to go pick up pizza with Mom, she decided it was MY turn!  
So - we went to the Market - and I said hello to everyone - the firemen who were there with their big truck, the children, the people walking around....there was a big girl dog who was mean to me - so I grrrrrr'd right back at her, a little scotty dog who was lovely to me so I was nice to him, and mom and I sampled some Italian Wedding Soup, purchased our mozzeralla, tomatoes, brocolli, peppers, bread, and some lovely sirlon burgers and made our way out of there - and Oh!  there were CHICKENS there!  Real live ones!  Holy moly!  That was something!  Then we went to the drive-through at CVS to pick up some prescriptions for Nana, and then the real estate office where mom's friend was working - the girl there??  LOVING me big time!  Then of course I had to go and see Pat at the liquor store and jump up on the counter to say hi to him.  I met a little baby chi named Juan and then we went to see Raj at the dry cleaners and home - so I had QUITE an active day!  I was ready for a nap when I got home!  And the diva?  Well he had stopped sulking by then and was happy to see me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Holy cow!  Today I discovered a new animal that is right up there as far as excitement goes with the squirrels - mum says it is called a chimpmunk - and when I saw that little bugger I thought I would wet myself!  Unfortunately he was down below and I was up on the deck - LOCKED in - thanks to the Diva who Must Escape - Ollie Lou - and mum wouldn't let me out!  But! Still!  I saw him and I will look for him next time I am down there again.  
Oh!  And speaking of excitement?  Tom came today and stayed and put in a new front door - and talked to me and let me kiss him - and one time I was in the living room looked at him through the French doors and he looked at me and touch the glass on the other side and I kissed him through the glass and both he and mum laughed!  Then we all sat outside and Annie is starting to have love for him too!  Sigh....I can't wait!  He said he'd be back on Monday!  Yay!  Maybe he can fill me in on what those chipmunks are all about!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well today is Friday, August 29th - and we are starting the Big Last Weekend of Summer Labor Day weekend.  And yes, sadly, we are still in the kennel!  Who knew?  Certainly not mom - who thought we'd be sleeping apart for like a month tops.  Poor poor mom.  She is not living the life either.  She's sleeping with Aunt Babs, living out of a suitcase - putting clothes in Nana's closet - and Aunt Babs' closet - not knowing where her shoes are - wishing she could get all of her stuff and US more importantly out of here.  So it won't be much longer mommie - hang in there!  And I know you are getting us out tomorrow for the weekend - so I will be ready to go with big kisses for you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night we were hanging and Crystal the cute girl tech came and got us - first OL then me - I thought "what's going on?" and she brought me into Dr. K's room and there she was MY MOMMIE!!  She was crying and hugging that stupid OL - he is SUCH a HAMBONE!  That is my Mommie too!  So I ran over and sat on her and gave her kisses and kisses and kisses - and OL was too!  
So I looked at her and said "are we going home now?" And she said "no my Peeper, BUT I PROMISE REALLY SOON!"  Then OL ruined the moment by humping her arm!  What a booger he is.  So I just sat on her and that made me feel sooooo good - to just be with my mom.  I miss being with her sooooo much,  But I am at least behaving myself - which is more than I can say for someone else with lots of spots and dots! bol!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well it is the Fourth of July already!  And yes I am still in the Pokey - but!  Mom went to the new house yesterday to meet the lady who is selling it for a walk-through with her and so she could answer any questions Mom and Aunt Babs might have had.  And Mom said that when they said good-bye to each other - they hugged. She has dogs too - but they live with her in Arizona now - she rescues greyhounds and told Mom that the yard is every dog's dream and her doggie's loved it too.
Mom said the bank has ordered the appraisal for next week - so she said it's looking good and that I should keep my paws crossed because that could mean we get out of here next week!  I got them crossed Mommie! 
All I want to do is be with you and my brother and cousins and baby sister in our new house!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sunday we were in lockdown at the kennel - me and "his Hiney-ness" and I was trying to nap while he was acting like a total diva - "Why can't they put a telly in here, Dudley? "  "How are we going to watch The Next HGTV Design Star without a TV"?  "Why do we have to all go to sleep at the same time here?  Why can't we have ice cubes in 0ur water?" and ON and ON and ON.......I was getting ready to lift my leg on him when all of a sudden the guy - Brian - I think - who walks us - came in and put those little leashes on both of us - I couldn't imagine where we were going - did he hear me thinking about lifting my leg on OL?  BOL!  He takes us into the exam room where we can see into the waiting room and there was MY MOMMIE!  OMDogness - MY MOMMIEEEEE!
Who said "My babies!"  and came into the room and closed the door.  I would like to say it was a lovely moment for all of us - hugging and kissing - however, upon seeing Mom?  You-Know-Who practically screamed and flung himself on her and wouldn't let me get near her for the first few minutes!  So I growled at him and that made him move!  
She told us how much she misses us and that she bought us special new collars and that being without us sucks and that she signed the contracts for the new house so it wouldn't be long till we were all together in our new house with that FABULOUS NEW YARD and then she cried because she says she misses us sooooo much!  And I told her that I miss her so badly that I just can't wait to be out of here.
And then she told us she left us a surprise for later - but she had to g0 and to just "please be good boys and hang in there for me, okay" and the she had to go,  I was sad but still happy that I got to spend time with my Mother - and know that she is missing me as much as I am missing her.  Then later on?  We got our surprise!  Busy Bones!  Oh Mom, I love you - please come and get us soon!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This afternoon Mom came home and said "I need to take you somewhere with me Peep" of course big fathead Ollie was outside when she told me otherwise he would've been allover my action.  
So here I am think "I hope it's not to Nana's because I have just had ENOUGH biting from that baby Anne Marie right now!"  So we get in the car - after she sneaks me out of backyard and gives Ollie a cookie so he won't be too mad.  
And we drive and drive - we go past Nana's - we go past Petsmart - I am thinking "where in the world are we going?"  And then it hits me!  She's taking me to the NEW HOUSE!  It has to be!  And it is!  AND GOLLY!  We get out of the car after pulling down a hilly driveway - and we go through a gate to the backyard and it's - GASP - it's like Nirvana!  It's like Shangri-La for Dogs!  It's a HUGE green lawn - with gates and a pool and a hot tub and decks and doors and I am thinking - I must be dreaming this?  Then?  And yes, it gets EVEN BETTER!  I see a BALL near the big swimming pool!  And Mom says - "sure - let's do it Peep!" and I have the TIME OF MY LIFE playing ball with my mother!  Then we go into the house - but on the way in we both get stung by bees - and Both of us on the Nose!  We are both okay - but ouch did that smart!  I walked into the kitchen and there was Nana and Aunt Babs!  Then Mom took me on a tour of the whole house while her and Aunt Babs measured room sizes - and golly!  That's a big house!  Then we went home and I told Ollie all about it - but he refused to believe me!  He is SUCH an ACTRESS!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Can anyone tell me why I have to put up with certain things?  Such as:

1.  The fact that I haven't seen my friend Tom - who I LOVE for what feels like a dog's age - even though he and Mom have spent time together - what about ME?  I am THE ONE who LOVES you - not her! 
2.  Why do I have to have a sister?  Who bites my ears?  My legs and tries to take my bones?
3.  Most important - why does my Dad have to be mean to me and Oliver Louis and my Mom?  What I mean is he is just rude and nasty and yells at Mom all the time - and I guess he's not really even my Dad anymore - since we were always always ALWAYS Mom's boys.
4. Why can't Rems be here?  Down here with me and OL and Trusty and Kylie and Annie?  Instead of me having dreams about him?  I really really miss him and I know he'd know just what to tell me to make me feel better.
5.  If we are going to this great big new house - why haven't we gone yet? What's the hold up? 
and - more important
6.  Will there be a park there - like we have now?  and!
7.  Will the yard really be as great as Mom says it will?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so the other day I was watching Anne Marie - for mom - outside in the yard.  And of course, every single thing I do?  She wants to do too.  Well, I had to do poopy - so I thought - let's see if she can just poop on demand to do what I do - BOL!  Anywag, I started twirling (the poop twirl dance that is my ritual) and she is looking at me like I have black hair instead of dark gold) I paid no attention as I went about my business.  But afterwards - she asked me "Why you do that Duds?"  I told her that I have always done that - and asked didn't she?  She said "no - I don't think so" and then asked me "doesn't it make you dizzy?" I laughed at her!  I said "No!" And then decided I really didn't think it was appropriate to be having conversations about poop twirl dancing with a baby - so I grabbed a ball and started running with it - and that got her mind off the poop twirl dance.  But I wonder - is it because she is a girl that she doesn't do the poop twirl dance?  Or is it because she is a baby?  Or both?  And was I even supposed to talk to her about it?  Oiiii!  I am so confused!  This big brother thing isn't easy!  Especially when I have Oliver Louis being no help whatsoever!  I have got to get him more involved with this!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I tell you this "big brother" business is quite exhausting.  That little Anne Marie is a TERROR!  I don't think I was ever like that when I was a baby.  She bites. She paws.  She barks. ALL AT ME!  And then?  She is small enough to fit under the bed - so when I chase her?  That's where she goes!  And then Ollie comes and yells "you come out from there girly!" and she sticks her head out at him and says "make me" and of course that upsets him because he cannot possibly fit under there! It is pretty funny to watch though.  Then she waits until I am just laying down minding my own business and she sneaks up and pounces on me!  And starts biting my ears!  For the love of God!  I don't think I ever did that when I was little either - oh - what?  Wait a moment - Mom just told me I used to do it to Rems all the time!  Oh well!  Who can remember back that far!?  BOL!  
So I am trying to teach her how to be a good girl - but honestly?  It wears me out!  But Mom said I did a really good job when we went to the park because I taught her that the leash is a good thing - and now she doesn't resist or bite at it anymore - so see? I did teach her something!  
And I taught her to say "sorry" and what it meant.  She needed to apologize to Oliver Louis for running under the bed and upsetting him.  So after I explained it to her - she did it!  She even kissed him.  Mom said that was lovely of me and that she wished more men knew how to apologize - now what she meant by that I have no idea - I just know that when I have done something wrong?  The best thing for me - and what always works for me is to say "sorry" and give some kisses.  And then usually everything is okay.  And - just like I told Anne Marie, as soon as she did that with Oliver Louis?  He was letting her sleep right next to him - hiney to hiney - that was very cute.  
So - it's fun to be able to teach my baby sister new things - but it sure makes me tired!  I need a nap now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning mom told me and OL she was going to look at a house - and that it was one she was very excited about - "keep your paws crossed you two!  This could be the one!" she said.  And she went on to tell us that it was a farmhouse and it was old and looked like it was in really good shape and that be still my tail - there was a yard like we'd never seen the likes of before - big big BIG!  So we were just waiting for her to come home and tell us we were farmhouse bound!  But POOP!  Even though it had a great fireplace and two bedrooms with fireplaces?  And a yard and a covered porch and a patio and a fish pond and an updated kitchen?  And it was lovely?  It didn't have a driveway and it needed work in certain areas and it didn't really have a basement and the furnace looked sort of old and she was bummed.  But!  On the bright side?  She and Aunt Babs went to Target and she brought me and Ollie some new rawhides!  So I went over and kissed her and said - "don't worry mum - our new house is just around the corner - I feel it!  I bet you find it this week!"  And she kissed me and said "thank you, Peep, you always know how to make your mommie feel better!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well this is ridiculous - just because I circle and sniff most of the time before I poop?  Oliver Louis has just informed me that I am a "Poop Twirl Dancer"!  I don't know where he comes up with this stuff.  And right now I am so tired I could do a poop twirl dance if I wanted to - that baby Anne Marie was here today and she is so little that she can go under the bed!  And then she sticks her head out and barks at me!  When I went over? She put her head back under the bed!  So I walked away - and naturally she did it again - and I had to go back and then I wound up laying there because I was sick and tired of walking back and forth - and so we played awhile and then she was on top of my  head with her paws around my neck and biting my ears!  She really liked doing that!  And then when Ollie came in the room - she started with the under the bed business again - and he got so annoyed that he started with his high bark saying "Come on Sister!  Play fair or I'm not playing at all!"  and she came out and lunged at him!  ha ha ha haha!  And he rolls over on his back and she started on his head!  Then she switched back to me - and this went on for at least an hour!  So I don't care what OL calls me - what I am right now?  Is TIRED!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night?  Mom took me to Nana's - she had to walk Trusty and Kylie because Aunt Babs had some school thing she had to go to.  And then?  Into the car with baby Anne Marie!  She wasn't happy about sitting in the back seat with me - but after she watched me sitting like a good boy I think she got the idea.  
And - I thought - "maybe we're going to see Tom? Sigh..... I miss him so much I would love to see him - but what if he gives this baby dog more attention than me? GASP - NOT WITH the LOVE I have for him!  He wouldn't - would he?" Well Mom nipped that whole thing in the bud because she said - "Guess what Duds!? We're taking Annie to the park! So you can show her how the big boys walk on the leash and she'll get used to hers"  Well I thought to myself - if I can't see Tom?  The Park is the Next Best Thing - actually - It is really THE BEST THING EVER - because of the smells, the squirrels, the other dogs!  The people - the SMELLS!  YAY!  
So off we went and if I say so myself?  I think I did a really good job showing Annie how it's done with the leash!  By the time we left she was doing really good!  Of course when we got to the car?  She watched me get in and then sat on the ground as if to say - no way am I jumping in there - pick me up!  And so Mom did!  And off we went - to my house where Ollie was waiting for us.  We all hung out in the back yard and Anne watched me fetch and bug mom to throw my bone for me - and then we all went inside had some treats and Mom took her home - so that was a great Thursday - don't you think?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I refused to let mom go to Nana's without me - no sirreee!  I went outside and wouldn't come back in - that's my signal for "no way you are going in that car without me!" Mom sighed and said "oh alright" - so first we went and picked up breakfast - and we were near Tom's house - I was looking for him, but Mom said "Stop it Peep - you need to concentrate on other things now - you don't have time for people who are rude to you or me in your life" And I know she's right? But, sigh, I still miss him......I guess I can focus on other things though - oh! yes!  Like my new sister!  Anywag - we get to Nana's and there she was!  And she barked at me!  So I tried to get on the bed - but I didn't want to bother Nana's back so I just put my two front paws up - and she came towards me - and then she barked at me again!  She wanted to play with me!  We went downstairs with mom and all got to have some eggy sandwhich.  She sat inbetween me and Trustina and was pretty well behaved.  Then Mom took her outside and she pooped out there!  Wowie!  That's pretty good for a baby.  And when she came back - she was trying to climb on top of me!  That was pretty funny.  Then I found a ball - and I even let her play with it for a while - because I was really just interested in her and what she would do - I was really sort of taken with her cuteness!  Then we left - and I know she was sad to see me leave - but I told her - don't worry Annie - I will see you later!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

I don't know what a "sister" is!  So I asked OL.  He told me that he. the know-it-all didn't know what that was either!  What the heck?  I know it must have four legs! And!  It smells very much like a golden to me!  Mooooom!  What's going on!?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Home means so manythings to me - the first place I ever saw after  Nana's Karen's farm, where I was born.  My brothers - Rems (I miss you - I love you always) and the annoying yet lovable Oliver Louis.  The smells - the smell of my mom - that's something I loved from the beginning.  The smell of my crate - the smell of my bed - the smell of my spot on Mom's bed.  The feeling I get when I come inside after playing in the snow - the coziness. 
The smell of Mom cooking breakfast - toasty and eggy for me and OL.  Oh!  And the smell of going bye-bye in the car!  The new car smell that Mom's car?  Still Has!  Wowie!  Home means all these things to me.  But - any dog who knows me knows that we are sort of "homeless" now - we are looking for our new house - and we haven't exactly found it yet - Mom says "don't you worry -
it's going to be better than ever" and both OL and I believe her, because really - when has she ever steered us wrong?  And she told me that all these great smells that make me think home are going to be even better in our new house.  And you know what?  Anywhere that my mom and Oliver Louis and Nana and Aunt Babs and Johnny and Trusty and Kylie are?  That WILL be home - as long as we are together!]]></content:encoded>

Especially since Mr. High and Mighty Oliver Louis was all exhausted last night after posting his Louis Report yet still had time to look at me and say "At least one of us in this family has some creativity" - SEE OL!?  See what happens when you aren't nice to your brother!  HA HA HA HA HA!  Now - I have to go and have some adventures so I have some good stuff to write about!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my mother is not happy with my friend Tom.  And I LOVE HIM - LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM..But last night?  Mom took me and OL to the park together and told us that Tom was not very nice to her.  And she was very sad about it.  But she told us that was okay - because we have so much on the horizon that we would've been too busy to see much of him anyway.  I looked at her and nodded but honestly?  I had no idea what a horizon was until Ollie told me later.  BOL!  
And then at the park?  I forgot all about Tom - because I had SO MUCH FUN with Oliver Louis!  And, when Mom was talking to some Westie puppy's father?  I made Ollie go in the pond with me!  I love to do that!  Of course, if I hadn't rolled around in the dirt like three times after I got out then when we got home I wouldn't have had to take a bath but then we both got Furminated - and that always feeeeellllsss soooooo goooood!  Ollie loves it - rolls over on his stomach!  Big Boobhead.  Sigh.
Then we all got cozy in the bed - and Mom said something very funny - something like "it's too bad you boys don't have a little sister to share all this fun with".....Now what could she mean by that?  I mean we are already going to be living with our cousins Trusty and Kylie soon. Why would we want a sister?  What kind of sister?  Hmmmmmm......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am worried about my mom - next weekend is Mother's Day and that was always always ALWAYS a very special Mom and Remy day - so I am going to give her the following to make her feel better - I know Rems would do something like this so I have to pick up the paw where he left off, so to bark:

M - is for the person I want to be with the very MOST from the MOMENT I wake up till right before I go nite-nite.

O- is for there's no OTHER  smile in the whole world better than hers when she smiles at me the way she does

T- is for TOTALLY knowing what I want sometimes even before I know what it is!  BOL!  

H - is for HELPING me when Oliver Louis steals my toys or is just bugging the poop out of me.  Oh!  And HOLDING my paw at night when we are on the bed watching telly.  (because that's what I like her to do).

E - for what she is to me - EVERYTHING

R - REALLY taking great care of me - oh and for REMY - smiling down on her and sending all his love to her everyday! 

I love you Mommie.]]></content:encoded>

And I was really only half paying attention because there were some dogs on telly and I was watching them - love to watch dogs on tv!  But I heard Mom say "no you have to call a different number - I think it's 888-SEND PET"  Whooooaaa - that made me look up!  Who is sending their pet somewhere?  It had jolly well better not be me!  Wait!  Maybe she is sending Oliver Louis to a place for bad dogs!  Maybe she's shipping him off to the Dog Whisperer!  BOL!  That would be great!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The other night?  Me and Mum got in the car - and took off.  I thought we were going to Tom's or maybe Petsmart - but she told me we were going to visit Nana in the Field Home.  I didn't know what that was but if Nana was there?  I was ALL FOR IT!  
We got there and she said "you have to really behave Peep" so I did.  But there were lots of people sitting around in chairs - many of them were pretty old - so I gave kisses to some of them who said hi to me.  One lady told mom that I had very nice hair.  And they all laughed and said my name!  So we walked down a hallway with lots of rooms - and I heard Nana!  And we went in and Nana and Aunt Babs were there!  I got right on that bed and gave her kisses!  She told me that Kylie and Trusty were there over the weekend for lunch with her and that made her very happy.  Then she let me have her snack - vanilla wafers - because she knows how much I love them.  And she gave me some lovely ice water.  After a while it was time for me to go.  But I saw a picture of some baby dog - golden like me in her room there - and I didn't have a chance to ask her who that doggie was and why she had that picture there.
Nana told me she is coming home Monday and that Trusty and Kylie already knew and were very excited.  She told me to tell Ollie to be a good boy and she would see him soon.  And!  She told me to say hi to Tom for her.  I will do that for my Nana - because I would do ANYTHING for my Nana I love her so much!  I am so happy she is getting all better!  YAY!]]></content:encoded>

Really really really love him.  I was so happy to see him I jumped on him.  Not a good thing - I know but I missed him so much.  And then sadly it was time for us to go.  But I didn't want to!  I wanted to stay with Tom.  And I would not get in the car.  So I got to stay with him!  And what fun we had!  He threw the ball for me - really far in his yard - and I got it and brought it back - like a zillion times!  Then we went upstairs and he gave me water and treats and had all the toys he always has for me.  We had a Blast!  Then Mom came.  And I looked out from the living room when she opened the door to his house and looked at her like "oh - hi mom!" and went back and sat next to my Tom.  Then we went outside and we showed Mom how we played ball.  And we all laughed and then it was really time for me to go.  Sigh..... I would've liked to stay there even longer.  He is the best.  But I am sure I will see him again soon.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well last night OL was all mental - because Mom went out and didn't come back in time for him to watch the stupid Idol results show with him.  And when she came home?  She brought TOYS and TREATS and a big big big BAG of Dog food for us!  You think he'd be happy?  No Way!  First of all he smelled Tom - beecause Mom had been with him - and they had gone to Petsmart together - well naturally who did he think was carrying that big bag of doggie food?  Not Mommie all by herself!  And then they went to the coffee house and hung out.  Now I love Tom - really really L-O-V-E him.  So the only reason I get upset is because I like to be with him and my mom at the same time - that is perfect for me.  But not Ollie!  He wants Mom all to himself!  And then he gets soooooo jealous and says mean things about my Tom!  I told him to stop it.  And then he asked me to dance with him?  And I banged him so hard with my butt he went flying across the room! HA!  That'll teach him!]]></content:encoded>

Then she certainly doesn't take just one of us - like the way she used to take just one of us when Rems was here - because that way there were always two of us to hang out together at home.  BUT! Last night?  I guess because Oliver Louis had taken my toy the night before?  She took just me - bye-bye in the car!  YAY!  F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!  Without Mr. I Think I am A Professional Dog Model - Oliver Louis.  What a joy it was to leap into the back seat and not have his big fat spotted and dotted face right next to mine!  Ahhhhhh - and then?  It only got better from there!  First?  We went to the deli - and GASP!  My fav 0f favs!  My Tom was there!  Sighhhhh I got out of the car and went right up to him and gave him a BIG KISS!  I wonder if he knew what I was saying to him? "Tom!  I missed you SO SO SO SO MUCH! Look at you!  You are so funny!  You are sooooooooo nice to me! (oh and to mom) and I missed you soooo much!"  So - I got to be with him - and sit next to him and kiss him - and then when we had to leave to go to Nana's?  I was sad - until I heard him say "Bring Dudley back - I have a bone for him" Oh - My - GOODNESS!  Did this mean what I thought it meant ?  That we were actually going to go to Tom's (GASP!) house later on?  I tried not to think about it and then I almost forgot about it because we didn't go straight to Nana's! NO! First I got to go to the Liquor store with mom!  Because she had to get Nana a lottery ticket - and I got to go inside!  I love to go in there!  I love to see everyone!  And stand up and put my paws on the counter and say - "I'd like a lottery ticket for my Nana please" Ahhhhh - that was fun!  Then on to Nana's to see Trusty and steal Kylie''s tennis balls.  And then?  I thought we were going home - but I forgot.  We pulled up in front of  Tom's house!  And when we went inside?  He had not one but TWO Tennis balls for me!  And he laughed with I put both of them in my mouth at once!  He hasn't seen me with three. And! He had a bone and treats for me - plus I had brought along a bone that I accidentially took from Kylie (sort of).  Ahhhh - so when Mom was sitting on the chaise lounge and Tom was sitting on the sofa?  I went over to Tom and sat down in front of him - alright almost on top of him - and looked at Mom and said - SEE!  This is who I really really like.  This is who I LOVE to hang with!  Tom laughed and Mom said "oh Peep - stop making a spectacle out of yourself!"  But she was laughing when she said it.  So - I feel really really good - loved by my mom and by Tom.  And - even though it pains me to say this - I am starting to love OL too - because I know that he must've been missing me.  When we came home?  He was allover me!  Where was I?  Who was I with?  And then he tried to be mean about Tom - I told him he has it all wrong, Tom is one of my best pals - next to him - and I swear after I said that last part?  I saw him smile!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Some days I can't help it - I just miss my brother Rems so much.  Mom says it is the same for her as well, and that it is especially bad because we are going through our first year without him - so everything for the first year will be tinged with sadness.  I am generally a happy boy - despite the fact that I live with Mr. Big Mouth Annoying Diva from Hell - Oliver Louis.  But now as I am a little bit older I realize that Remy was the greatest big brother in the world I could ever have had.  And that because of him?  It made living with (this egotistical kook who thinks he is way more than a doggie) Ollie easy.  
Remy was truly someone who could light up the day just with his smile.  And when he would play with me?  Whoooooaaa!  That was the best thing ever!  And maybe that's why I am a bit sad - because now it is March and the weather is going to get warmer and that's when we'd be outside on the deck and I'd look at him and all of a sudden he'd give me that big Remy smile and put his two front paws towards me and say "hey! Duds! Want to play!?"  And I would get sooooo excited I'd run right after him - because off the deck he would leap!  And fly through the air!  And no matter what how fast I ran or Oliver Louis ran?  We'd never ever be able to catch him until he let us!  Now to me all my life that has always always always meant the beginning of Spring - so this year it will be a bit different.  But Mom has already told me that Rem will always be with me in spirit and always watching over me from above.  AND!  She said that we are going to have some really wonderful new memories to make very very soon in a beautiful new place - and that Rems is doing everything in his power to see that it happens soon!  Thanks Remy - I love you, with all of my heart - forever and ever!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How do I deal with this diva of a brother of mine?  The so-called King of Spots and Dots?  The dog who claims to be an authority on American Idol and Judge Judy among other things?  The dog who insists on, when I get a BRAND NEW TOY, waiting until I leave it for one MOMENT and then pounces on it and starts to DESTROY IT!  It is so unfair to me!  I share everything with him!  I would let him play with my toys but he maims and dismembers them!  And then?  They are just shells of the fun they could've been!  So I feel bad for me, yes, but for the toys as well! 
He did it again this evening.  Mom had bought me a fabu Moose with Tennis ball head from Target!  It was smashing!  Something I saw myself playing with for hours on end.  I even - gasp - dropped a braided rawhide in favor of playing with the Moosey toy for a while.  But what happens?  I hear Mom in the kitchen and went in there to see what she was doing.  She was making a big box and decorating it for some charity drive she is helping with at work, she was telling me about it and how people can bring in old cell phones and just put them in the box - in any condition at all - broken even! - and then the place that they are sending them to will fix them back to new and give them to victims of domestic violence so that they don't ever have to be afraid again.  I thought that was great - until I heard evil laughing from the living room.  And Ollie say - "well there's  victim in here who sure could use a cell phone - not that he'll be able to use it - ha!"  And I ran into the living room to see my brand new Moose - UNSTUFFED!  ALREADY! and then?  He acted like he had no idea how it happened!  I could just just just SIT ON HIM that's how mad he makes me!  
Mom says not to worry though - she will get me another special toy and give it to me when he is watching his stupid silly Idol show.  That's a great mom for you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's right.  When my mother doesn't feel well?  There's nothing I can do except feel bad right beside her.  And really when you think about it?  Who could feel good when the person who loves you the most is laying in bed sneezing, coughing and groaning?  That's the person I love most and I don't want to see her like this.  And the tissues?  Even the tissues cannot get me excited when my mom doesn't feel well.  Okay, okay - I admit it - I chewed one or two - but that was it!  And I was right next to her making sure I was touching her so that she knew I was there - the WHOLE NIGHT.  Let's face it - the whole world stops for me.  There's no fun playing with her, no riding in the car - no walks in the park (though it's very very cold right now!) no trips to Nana's or Petsmart so it really stops for me.  Of course, Mr. Diva - Oliver Louis is acting like this is what Mom gets for ignoring him on Idol night - but I think it's just the stress of everything and the fact that she wasn't feeling well, oh, and I guess we can also blame part of it on someone who shall remain nameless - but who I KNOW THE SMELL OF VERY WELL - for letting her go out with a wet head the other evening!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

It is the worst word ever - it is the GROOMER.  Mom said something about making an appointment for ME!  Oh dear - maybe I'll hide and she'll never find me - maybe she'll forget?  Maybe I can just look clean and she'll wait a little longer.  I'd better go and see if I can practice looking clean.  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Something very strange happened today - Mom and Dad both went to work at the regular time - Mommie even left early.  And then just as Oliver Louis was planning to put on a singing and dancing show for me - Dad came home!  And then? GASP!  Some lady showed up!  And we?  Me and OL?  Got sent into the back yard!  While this STRANGE WOMAN WAS IN MY HOUSE!  MY HOUSE!  Needless to say - I was very very angry!  Why was I put outisde? I love people!  Especially girls!  And WHERE WAS MY MOTHER!  Does she know that a strange woman was in her house!?  After about a half hour or so - she left.  And Dad let us back in the house - we ran in - sniffed around, but not too much to smell.  And nothing looked out of place either.  Hmmmmm - when Mom came home - I ran and told her right away - of course big FAT MOUTH Oliver Louis was trying to talk over me - but HA!  I got him beat in the fattest mouth department!  But Mom told me that she knew about the lady coming here!  Well, for goodness sake!  She could've told us!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Whenever something goes on that I don't understand - like a noise or something, I always do what I've done since I was a baby - go and find my mother.  If I don't like the sound of something outside?  First I bark at it and then run to find my mom.  She can always tell me what's going on - and she always always makes me feel better.  
So tonight?  When there was something or other outside that I heard and barked at?  I ran right to her.  And she told me "it's okay Peep - it's just your father in the garage with the air compressor" and she gave me some kisses.  Whew!  I felt so much better after that.]]></content:encoded>

And then I like to come in the house, get my paws towelled off and get a treat and then go upstairs and assume my position on mum's bed.  Nice cozy bed with lots of fluffy comforter for me to get toasty on.
Really, what could be better?]]></content:encoded>

If my name is Dudley - and that's what it says on my "papers" - actually what it say on the papers is "Margie's Golden Dudley Doo Right" (!), and she has nicknames for me like Peep, Mr. McPherson, and Baby Peep, then WHY does she tell me "do you know what your name is?"  And when I look at her as if to say "What?" She says "Your name is Love!"  So why didn't she just call me that to begin with?  BOL - and then she calls me Lovebug and (grrrrrrr) Fattie - but I know she means that with love.  I can't help it if I am Large and In Charge - BOL - sigh....at least I know I will always be her baby.......at least....uh-oh!  What if we get another doggie! Then would I still be the "baby"?  I think so. No, I am certain of it.   I HAVE TO BE.  Because I am very spoiled!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ And golly was Oliver Louis one angry diva last night!  Mom fell asleep on him while they were watching Idol!  He was thinking that he would post his first Louis Report on the twelve boys who were on last night but mum was so tired that she wound up falling alseep about six or seven singers into it!  I have never seen him so cuckoo!  He kept hitting he with his paw - and then when someone was singing he'd stop and watch and then go back to hitting her with his paw - but she was O-U-T like a light!  I thought that was pretty funny because I know how serious he is about these silly reports he writes. And so does mom - so she must've been pretty exhausted.  And I told him that.  And he thought about it for a moment and agreed with me, so he left her alone after that.  But I did not appreciate him taking my BRAND NEW PINK KONG TOY from me and tearing part of it to pieces!  Well, I guess he had to get his frustration out somehow!  Wonder if she'll fall asleep on him tonight?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When my mother is sad it is like the sun not shining.  And she has been pretty sad lately - and not because of (shocker!) Oliver Louis or anything he has done.  When I asked her with my eyes to please tell me what is wrong she said "nothing Peep - nothing that won't go away soon" So I have to believe her and do mybest to cheer her.  I know she wants all the loose ends tied up soon as far as our new house goes..... and I believe, believe BELIEVE with all of my heart that we are going to the house she drove me past and showed me.  
And I know she worries - about Nana, about Trusty and his food stealing, about Johnny, about Aunt Babs - just about everything.  
And funny thing is that I know she used to talk to Rems about all these things -and maybe that's why she wasn't so sad before - so maybe I can sort of pick up part of that job that used to be Rem's?  I will try to tell her about this.  I do my best - I sleep cuddled next to her every night, and I do silly things to make her laugh and Oliver Louis?  Well - all she has to do is look at him sometimes and that makes her laugh (I know it makes me laugh!) .  I just want her to smile again, and I know if there is a dog out there who can do this - it is ME!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well it has finally happened!  Mother Nature remembered that we live in a place where it is supposed to get cold in the winter!  And she's making up for her memory loss by having it be extra extra cold outside.  Holy Cow!  Even with all my hair?  I don't want to hang out there too long.  And at night?  I am all snuggly with my Mother - my Love of my Life!  She even said to me last night "come here Peep and get nice and cozy with me" so I went up there and she wrapped the blanket around me and we stayed like that till we fell asleep.  And in the morning, we both like to eaaaaasssse into waking up - and easseee into the day - especially on Mondays.  But Oliver Louis?  Nope! He wants to get up and go - go - go, like he's got an appointment somewhere, silly boy!  We both told him this morning we didn't know what his big hurry was for.  And Mum said "You're gonna be right back at the door as soon as you realize how cold it is out there" and don't you know it - he was there before me!  
Now this afternoon we are all getting cozy - it's waaay too cold out still!  So there's more than one good thing about this - first of all that means no bath for me - yay!  And it means we all go upstairs early to get cozy and warm and snuggle on the bed - and best of all?  It's with my mother!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I don't know if I had anything to do with it or not, but I have not seen my friend Tom in....in....in a Dog's age it seems.  I know that I misbehaved with that Charlie dog - but I don't think that has anything to do with it.  Mum is very busy lately and hardly has time for cuddling with me - but she makes sure that she does every single night.  Maybe that's it?  Mum is too busy to take me to see him?  I hope he isn't mad at me for jumping on him.  I just wanted him to know how much I love him...... I guess I should be lucky that I have that boobhead in the next room who is singing (badly) at the top of his lungs to Gladys Knight and The Pips for a brother.  Oiii!  Gotta go and cover my ears!]]></content:encoded>

I told Mum that I do not want to see that Charlie dog again - and she told me that I didn't have to worry - I wouldn't have to.  Hmmmm I wonder what that means?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight my mum was petting my ears - I love to have my ears massaged.  But - uh-oh - she noticed a matted piece in one of my ears and that was the beginning of the end.  
Out came the "Furminator" and it began.  Now I love being brushed a lot but I was not in the mood for the Furminator, not tonight.  However, because of one stupid piece of matted hair I had to have my entire body Furminated!  And the funny thing was that she did it in the kitchen on the floor with me and Oliver Louis!  And there was hair everywhere, on Mum, on me, on the Furminator, on the floor, on Mum's black cashmere sweater, on her socks, on Oliver Louis - wooo--eeee!  I had no idear that I had that much extra hair allover me.  And that silly little matted piece?  Turns out it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would - came right out!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I am one UNHAPPY doggie.  Why?  Why would a golden like me who is always always always happy be feeling this way you ask?  Because of that new dog in town - Charlie.  He is not nice to me.  And Mum seems to think I have something to do with this!  I was in the car with her on our way to Petsmart and we stop at the deli - then Mum gets in the car and just drives around the block and we are in front of  Tom's house!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE TOM!  And I was wondering after that big jumping incident at Petsmart last week when I would be seeing him again - without any dogs around.  But when we looked up at the window?  There was Tom and - whoaaaa - CHARLIE was next to him! What the heck was he doing in MY Tom's house?  Unacceptable!  Then they come outside.  And after an intial sniff and wag with eachother I did what I HAD TO DO - the low grrrrrrrrr.  Well, this Charlie?  He did not react the way other dogs usually do - he did it back to me!  And showed me his teeth!  So - I thought to myself - "Game on, Buster!" and I showed him mine.  Then we both got scolded.  Then we took a brief walk around the neighborhood together so that Mum and Tom could look at a house one street over.  Then back to Tom's yard - where GASP!  They were talking about all of us going to Petsmart together.  No no no no NO!  I got into our car and when Mum tried to see if Charlie could get back there with me - I was like NNNNNNOOOOO! WAY! Whew!  I thought that was totally over with.  Till we got there and they pulled up right next to us!  So we all went into Petsmart together.  And a little girl said "look Mommie - twins" - Well I am NOT TWINS WITH HIM!  And we were going at eachother in different aisles and Mum and Tom were laughing about it.  What part of this do they not get - I am the baby golden in this pack!  I am the spoiled one!  Tom - while yes I know Homer stays at his house lots of time. he is just a little beagle though who I never had any problem with - Tom IS MINE!  And my mother?  SHE IS MINE TOO!  I do not like it when she comes home and I know she was with that Charles!  Whatever am I going to do about this?  I need to see my brother Oliver Louis and see what he thinks.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Of course I am talking about my brother Oliver Louis.  First he takes my HUGE bone - NOT HIS - MINE.  Then he tries to act like he doesn't want it.  I go for it - and he jumps me - jerkhead.  Then Mum goes out - and he starts with me - "ooooooeeee I wonder if she went to Tom's house to see that OTHER dog - Charles....." Now there is no need for this taunting.  I met Charlie and I am fine with him.  It's just that I am not too thrilled that he lives at Tom's because I think Tom is MINE.  I am going to go over there and sit on that Oliver Louis' BIG FAT HEAD!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night my mum came home - with two VERY different smells on her.  One I know and love - my friend Tom.  I love love love him.  BUT! Then - whiff! WAIT A MOMENT!  There was the smell of - GASP! - another DOG? Who could this be?  Why did she have this dog smell on her - I had to sniff and sniff and sniff.  I was just beside myself!  
Then this morning she says - "guess what Peep? we are going to Petsmart and maybe if you're lucky you'll meet Charlie" All I could think was "who?"
So - off we go and when we are walking in?  Who do I see walking out! My Tom!  Whoaaaa - wait a minute - I see Tom's sons - Tommy - who has a beagle named Homer, this I know because I smelled him when I visited Tom's house, but then I see Trevor - with - GASP! A golden like me!  And mum says - "look there's Charlie now!" So I went over and smelled him - and JUST as I THOUGHT!  That was the same smell I smelled last night!  Mum says that is Trevor's dog.  Trevor looked very happy.  Then I looked at Tom - and thought - "I must remind him that he loves ME" so I jumped on him t0 make sure he knew.  And there he was smiling at me.  But I wasn't happy when he told me that I need to lose some weight!  When will he get it?  I am wide-boned!  BOL!  Everyone looked pretty happy, except for Homer.  Poor Homer - I hope he gets used to it.  I wonder if I will get to play with Charlie?  Especially since I gave him some low growls - which mum promptly told me to "quit it!" with.  So I did.  I guess I would like to play with him.  Maybe.  
Then we went to Nana's - where I woke Trusty up and told him all about this "development" because he is a big Tom lover too.  And he told me that he knew all about it!  Because they were there last night!  And Kylie acted like a ferocious attack dog!  And Charlie didn't even care about it! Well, Kylie is small.  How do you like that though?  They were at Nana's house!  Wow.  This Charlie must be special - I guess I can try to be nice to him.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mum just told me that I need to stop barking and growling at her in the evenings while we are watching telly on the bed.  I looked at her like "but why my mother and love of my life? Don't you love it when I bark at you?"  And she said "Yes I love you Peep, and love to hear your voice - but you have a big FAT LOUD mouth and I cannot hear the telly - like now when I am trying to watch this show - The Biggest Loser" So I barked at her again - and when she gave me that You are PUSHING it face - I put my head down - peeked up at her - low growllllllll.  BOL.  She gave me kisses and said "oh Peep - YOU are the Biggest BARKER!  And I'd rather hear you bark any day over any show".  Which, I knew already of course!  
I wonder if I can get her to run out and get some more Jumbones if I bark at the right time?  Hmmmmmm...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday was the first day of the New Year.  And what a great way to start it!  Mum promised that we'd go to Petsmart and she kept her promise.  So I was surprised when we pulled out of the driveway and went down the street instead of up.  And then!?  Be still my tail!  We pulled up in front of Tom's house!  And we beeped.  And there was Tom!  Telling ME he'd be right out.  i love being with Tom, and I hadn't seen him for over a week so I was very happy.  But did this mean he was coming with us?  Yes!  So I got to go to one of my favorite places with my most favourite person in the WHOLE world - Mommie and then one of my other most very favourite runners up to Mum!  Tom!  
When we got there and went in?  There was a little itty bitty Chi who came running to me - very cute little baby.  I was nice.  Then a rottie puppy who I was nice to in the beginning - but then I had to give the low "I am the MAN here" growl.  Mum did NOT like that.  But then she let Tom have my leash.  And that was really fun.  After we got treats and checked out the birds - which I am really not too excited about since I have two budgie cousins - off we went.  I had to wait in the car for two stops and then they dropped me and my treats off at home to Oliver Louis.  We had treats and I told him all about the time I had.  He wasn't too impressed, but he was happy about the treats.....So if I started the year off like this, to me it means that 2008 is going to be a REALLY GREAT YEAR!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night was really the most fun I have had in AGES!  Mum went out and left me and OL home - so I thought - "rats no going out for me" but then?  She came back and changed her clothes and said "Want to go see Tom, Duds?" OH BOY did I!  So even though I felt bad leaving OL - I really needed to get out.  And I needed to be with Tom- because I love him.   Mum pulled up at his house and I was so happy! I was in and up those stairs in a moment!  And there was a pizza for dinner!  
Then we all went outside and me and Tom played in the snow.  What a blast I had chasing him!  He is so much fun - Mum says we are both goofy.  But she said goofy is good.  



Then we all went back inside.  And we watched a movie - and then I got to have ice cream for dessert!

All the time I was getting love and petting from Mum and Tom and giving kisses to them.  Then - we all fell asleep!  When mum woke me up at 10:30 I looked at her like "Why?  Why can't we just stay here" But she reminded me it was a "school" night and we had to go because even more important - Ollie was waiting for us!  So I left - but I told Tom, don't worry - I'll be back!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well the other night Mum went out with Tom, and I was miffed because I LOVE TOM - I wanted to go!  Ollie was miffed because he could care less about Tom - he just thinks that Mum should stick to our routine and that is on Mondays she comes home from work and hangs with us.  Anyway, she came home with a cd for Oliver Louis - one that he's been wanting for a while.  Michael Buble.  He sings a song called Everything and Ollie has really really been liking that song - so I had to coerce him at first - but finally he put that song on - well I started wagging to it - and before you know it?  He was singing it!  So I did the chorus - La la la la la la laaaaaa - that was so much fun!  
And last night?  For the first time since Rems left, Mom took me bye-bye in the car.  I smelled Rems when I jumped in there - and even though I miss him it made me feel good, like comforted.  So I guess we are getting a little better.  I love Oliver Louis - and even though he drives me nuts?  I want him to be his unbearable kooky Neighbourdog Watching Diva Singing Self again!  I know Rems does too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I know my brother Remy is in a fantastic place now.  But I am still so sad because I miss him.  Every morning when we would all go outside, Mum would open the back door and first out like a shot out of a cannon was Oliver Louis, then me, and then Rems.  But when I got outside I would stop and wait for Rems to come out and we'd run off the deck together.  So the first few times I waited for a minute till I remembered, then I just walked down the stairs.  But after this happened a few times and it started to sink in - Ollie and I started running out together.  Still I am sad though.  I wish Rems was running with me instead of that turd ball diva Oliver Louis.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am missing my big brother Rems so much.  My heart hurts because of it.  Even Oliver Louis sulked around for the entire past week.  Neither of us really felt like doing any playing - because it feels so strange that Remy is not here.  Not here to watch us, play with us, love us.  But he told us that he was going to be leaving and we gave him many kisses goodbye.  And he told us to please try to be nice to eachother - for Mum's sake at least - he was looking at OL when he was saying that.   He told us to make sure that we took care of Mum.
Mum was very very very sad.  She cried a lot - everyday.  But she told us that Rems can watch over us from above and that he has no more pain and feels just like a puppy.  And she told us that although we'll never, ever, forget him that each day it'll be just a little easier.  I hope so.  Because I am still very very sad.  But this morning, for the first time in a long time - me and Ollie went at it for a bit - we used to start every morning like that.  So I guess Mum's right - slowly we will get back to normal, if there is any kind of normal without my wonderful brother Remy here.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Than my brother Rems.  He is the ultimate doggie big brother.  When I first came home it was Rems who would play with me and let me jump allover him.  It was Rems who would go outside with me and run and play.  It was Rems who would like my ears and give me kisses every day.  And it's always Rems who shares his food with me - even though I won't share any of mine with him!  He always gives me his rawhides - because he really never cared for them.  He loves to play dog ball with me - and not just attack me like stupido Oliver Louis.  He is always always ALWAYS looking out for me.  
That's why I am so very very sad that he's not feeling well.  Mom says I have to be extra good because of this.  And for me that is really not easy.  But I guess I can try.  
I know that Tom went with mom to the hospital to pick Rems up the other night.  Now Tom is MY special friend - so first I thought about being mad.  But then I decided there's no body else I would sbe happy to share Tom with than Rems.  So I went and told him that and he kissed me and said "Thanks, Dud".  See?  Even though he's not feeling too good - he's still the Ultimate Big Brother.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I left out my really really HUGE act of badness that occured on Saturday morning from yesterday's diary entry.  It is ABOVE and BEYOND any badness that took place yesterday - it is huge, it is large, it is right up there with some of the really bad things that Oliver Louis has done in the past!  It is..........the chewing of a VERY EXPENSIVE daniblack black suede wedge that belongs to my mother.  My extremely unhappy mother - who had to go on-line and send Personal Shopper at Lord & Taylor a furious e-mail!  I am really sorry about this - but what did she expect?  She went into the bathroom and CLOSED THE DOOR!  If she would've let me in this probably would never have happened!]]></content:encoded>

Then we went to Petsmart and usually I am always very social and VERY NICE to ALL DOGS.  Perhaps there was just too much going on for me - I started out being nice to a German Shepard then I started growling and barking my head off - and everyone stopped at looked at me and Mom.  She was SO NOT HAPPY! And after meeting up with a yellow lab pup and having maybe one moment of "hi how are you" tail wagging and butt sniffing - I did it again!  Mom was so NOT HAPPY with me this time!  She told me that was it - and on line we went and out of there.  And I know she bought retriever rolls - but she has yet to give me one!  Must have something to do with the badness!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Mom just told me that my very special friend, Tom is looking for a doggie for his son Trevor.  And that he wants to find one like ME!  I am just beside myself!  I feel like that is an honor.  

Trevor is 13 and his older brother Tommy has a beagle named Homer, but poor Trevor has no doggie to call his very own.  And I guess he has been wanting one for a really long time. So when my mom told Tom about the whole dogster site - he went on line to see my page (of course!), and then he happened to see the Adoption section where you could search for a doggie to adopt.   Tom told mom there is a golden retreiver named Max who is seven months old.  They looked at his page together and then sent an e-mail to Max's foster parent.  But a week passed and no word.  So Mom said perhaps Tom didn't give enough information about himself - so they sent another one last week.  Now we just have to keep our paws crossed I guess.

I would love it if there was another golden for my to play with in my neighborhood.  And I would have double the fun - because I would get to see Tom too!  And maybe we could go to the park together?  That would be lots of fun.  Even if it is not a golden I will still play with it!  Because I like all doggies.  And I am really happy that he is looking for a doggie that needs a home.  Sigh, that's just one more reason why I think he's so special!]]></content:encoded>

How did this happen to poor Rems?  He's not been anywhere with any new dogs!  But the vet said that he could have gotten it from one of us or even Trusty or Kylie - one of us carrying the germ but not having it ourselves!  He is on anti-biotics and Pepcid for his tummy.  Feel better soon Rems!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommie took me to Petsmart today.  Now, I love to go there.  I love to play with the other dogs and have some fun.  I love to sniff butts and have my butt sniffed - all as a "getting to know you - getting to know allll about you" method.

I walked up to a yellow lab - who was about six months old and he smiled and belted me with his paw, playfully - I laughed and wagged at him.'

However, when my mom and I met Ray and his new owner - something very upsetting happened.  Mom was talking to Ray's owner - he had just been adopted and he is spotted sort of like Oliver Louis - but Ray is all black spots on white - and lots of black on his back - Oliver Louis has black and brown spots and one spot on his BUTT - otherwise his back is what you would call a White Ground - BOL - that's Mom's designer talk rubbing off on me! - anywag - while mom was talking about OL to Ray's owner - she did something that got me very upset - SHE TOUCHED RAY!  On his BACK!  AND SHE ACTUALLY MAY HAVE PET HIM!  Well that was it for me!  I gave my best feroucious GRRRRRR - I would've gone for him - and he just sat there and looked at me as if to say - "what the hell is wrong with you?"  So Mom took me away and told me in no uncertain terms to quit it or I was not going to be taken back there again.  I felt stupid - especially because she gave me a bop on the nose in front of Ray and his mom.  But I can't help it - THAT IS MY MOTHER - NO OTHER DOG should BE GOING NEAR MY MOTHER!  Well, no dog that is not related to me anyway.  whew.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday morning mom put me in the car.  I thought we were going to Nana's - and wait a moment!  What was this?  We pulled up in front of Tom's house!  Yay!  And he was on the porch waiting for me!  I got to nuzzle him a few times and smell all the squirrel smells on that front porch.  And the best?  We all went in the car together!  Me and Tom and Mom!  We pulled into the diner and I was told to "be a good boy" - which, of course, I was - I mean it was nice and cool outside, and the windows were open and I just hung out and waited for a bit.  What seemed like only a few minutes later - they were back.  I was looking for something - because I know there was food in that diner.  But nothing!  I thought to myself "this is really not like my mother - she always brings me something".
Well, I found out why after we dropped Tom back off at his house.  Mom took me to McDonald's and then we went to Nana's.  She had to get pancakes for Nana, so me and Trusty and Kylie got to split a Egg McMuffin!  And she brought one for Rems and Oliver Louis as well!  See!?  I knew she would get me a special treat.  And I can't wait to go back to Tom's house and smell those smells again!]]></content:encoded>

Not until she has healed a bit more.  She was almost as upset as I was!
We have so much fun there at this time of year!  The smells!  The kids!  The squirrels!  The chasing of the squirrels!  The sounds!  The leaves!  The geese!
The SMELLS!  
Rats!  
She did say that when she goes to the doctor next week she will tell him how very upset I am about this situation and see what he says as far as when we will be able to go back.  Keeping my paws crossed!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have already written about my friend Tom and how nice he is to me.  Well last week he just proved one more time why I like him so much. 

One night last week Mom took me to  Tom's house.  We sat outside on the front porch and then we all went inside his house!  You know me - if there's a new place to go, and Mom is right there with me?  I am so there! 
It was a very old house and we went up these really nice stairs and when he opened the door to his apartment and we went inside there was a dog dish with water in it!  He told me I could have a drink if I wanted.  And then he told me that his sons come and visit him and sometimes bring their dog - so that is why the dish is there.  
Then we all went inside and started to watch a movie - and I found a bag of chips on the side of the couch!  Wow!  Mom took them away from me immediately but Tom left the room and came back with a bag of doggie treats for ME!  So I got to watch the movie and enjoy treats.  Of course I was very well-behaved.  Because I like Tom, so I want to maybe be invited back there, maybe when that dog is there and we can play, that would be nice.  
All in all it was a good night for me - especially when I came home and burped a nice big burp from all those treats right in Oliver Louis' face!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mother has just informed me that I am a dogster diary pick of the day!  Wowie!  First thing that comes to mind - after wagging my entire rear end - is do I need to prepare a speech?  You know something like "I'd like to thank all my pup pals and all of the two leggers at Dogster HQ who made this possible.  And golly - where would I be without my mother? Mommie - this one's for you, baby - you always told me I could do anything I set my wagging tail out to do - and here's the proof!  Oh and the rest of my family~my brothers Rems and Oliver Louis - love you guys (and Ollie stop giving me dirty looks please) and my cousin Kylie and my uncle Trustina.  And Nana and Aunt Babs and Johnny and Aunt Marianne and birds Stretch Tweeterson and Lena Vanderbeek - and again the entire dogster community - and my brothers Carson and Toby and sister Cassidy and anyone else I am not naming right now - This is for you all!"
Well - if I needed a speech I guess I have it now!  bol!  Oh boy!  Oliver Louis is sooooo jealous!  Why can't he just be like Rems and be happy for me?  Silly Ollie!  
But back to diary of the day - I am just so honored!  yay!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a half sister named Cassidy - who I just discovered lives near me.  We are going to meet at the park and play one day very soon.  
But - yesterday we ran into Cassidy and her mom at Petsmart.  Now, the last time we saw them was a while ago - and they always look impeccible.  And the time before that?  Was when me and Rems were having our Chistmas pic taken with Santa and we were totally misbehaving.  And Mom was a mess.  So in walks Cassidy with her mother - all decked out for her photo and both of them looking just perfect.  
Well yesterday Cassidy's mother told mom that Cass has been bad lately with PULLING HER MOTHER WHILE ON THE LEASH!  Whoooo-hooo!  I would never have pegged her as a puller!  So they were there to get a harness and talk to the trainer.  Well, what do you know?  I cannot wait to play with her now!  She's going to be lots of fun I can just tell!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a friend - a two-legger named Tom.  He knows Oliver Louis and Rems, and Trusty (who was allover him after barking his head off at him) and Kylie but he is really more my friend than theirs.  He is one of the nicest people I know.  
He has a nice face, he has great eyes, the kind that smile at me even before his mouth does - and a nice voice - always asks me how I am.
He talks to me, and pets me.  He listens to me, and he even let me sit in the back of his truck!   .  And tonight he asked me about my fav of favs! Vienna Fingers! How did he know they were my favorite?  I wonder if he likes them too?  
I also wonder if he knows how much I like him - because I have to really like someone to give them kisses and I gave him some.  Actually, I gave him quite a few.  
I even let him sit and talk to my mother for a while and behaved myself .  And then - before we left I think I gave myself away - because I kissed his hands like allover!  My goodness - I hope I didn't make him uncomfortable with all that hand kissing?  Next time I see him I will try to behave myself.  At least with the hand kissing!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had no idea it was coming.  I always go in the car with Mom - at least every other day.  Even with her bad foot - she still takes me, because I know not to pull.  So imagine my SURPRISE on Friday when we wound up at the Vet's!  
I thought "okay, maybe we're just going to pick Trusty up or something" so I went in.  And then I saw the girls behind the desk when I put my two front paws up to let them know I was there - I love those girls - they are always so nice to me.
So I felt a bit better.  Then this young guy came out and talked to me.  And he had those crocs shoes on.  I was nice to him.  And then I found out he was the new vet!  
He tried to give me a cookie - but I was not going for it.  He told my mother that I could still stand to drop a few pounds after recording my current weight of 88 lbs - even after Mom told him I had lost weight!  (I used to weigh like 94).  Then!  He was looking in my ears and I peed.  Oops!  Then when he picked me up to put me on the table?  I peed on his crocs!  And they have holes in them so I am sure I got some on his foot!  BOL!  How come I am such a big baby when it comes to this?  It was over in like a minute!  Or so I thought and then!  Something that I have NEVER EVER had before in my life!  He shot some stuff into my NOSE!  MY NOSE!  Whew!  That was a whole new experience for me!  And then everyone laughed and it was over.  
Apparently I will be staying there in October with Trusty and Kylie when Mom and Nana and Aunt Babs go to visit Aunt Marianne and those two obnoxious birds in Cambridge - and the nose thing was so that I could stay in the kennel and not get sick.
Anyway - after my shots and my clean bill of health, Mom took me to Dunkin Donuts and got a low-carb bagel with not a lot of cream cheese - just enough.  And she shared it with me!  
I can't wait for her foot to be all better so that we can go to the park and run again.]]></content:encoded>

Rem told me I can be the canine version of a Candy Striper - and what that is I do not really know - but I like the sound of it.  So I give Mommie lots of kisses and wags and make sure I don't step on her foot with my paws - and if she needs to read a magazine Rem says I am supposed to go and get it for her.  I can do that - but I much prefer to bring her a shoe or a piece of clothing BOL~!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been sleeping outside of my crate for over a week now.  So imagine my surprise last night when Mom says "Come on Peep - how about some nite-nite in the crate?"  So I went and she said her good-night to me like she always does (about fifty hundred thousands "I love youuuuus" and pets and blown kisses) but she left the crate door unlocked.  So early in the morning I went and claimed my rightful place on the bottom of the bed.  I don't know why she doesn't just take that silly crate down - really!  I do not need it anymore!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I hate to say this, but it seems as if I am following in my Uncle Trusty's footsteps when it comes to food and food stealing.  
On Monday night Aunt Barbara had made two meatball heroes for Dad.  He ate the one with sauce, and saved the one that was just plain balls (!) on Italian bread (what can I say heâ€™s Irish and likes them plain sometimes!).  

The next night, Mom took it out of the fridge and placed it on the counter â€“ very FAR back away from edge.  Ran to the bathroom â€“ wasnâ€™t more than a minute â€“ really that was all it took, plus Oliver Louis was there to help. and when she came out didnâ€™t go directly back into the kitchen â€“ went in about five minutes later â€“ 
She saw the tinfoil on the floor â€“asked â€śWho did this?â€ť  I can't help it, I get "the look"  on my face was pure guilt (and Mom says, priceless).  Of course, Oliver Louis was sitting in the hallway licking his chops cause he did share the â€śspoilsâ€ť so to speak.  But no guilty look on his face!  

Mom said  "Dudley â€“ thatâ€™s it â€“ go to your crate!â€ť And I started upstairs then stopped and looked at herâ€“ She pointed and said â€śgo!â€ť I went upstairs and got on her bed!  She said â€śNo â€“ you know where to go Mister!â€ť and I went into my crate and looked so guilty and sad, but I could swear Mom almost laughed out loud.   She left the crate unlocked and after about fifteen minutes slowly I  came down and right to herwith the love look.  She couldnâ€™t resist me then.  

See I know it is bad when I am doing it - but something comes over me, and at that moment all I can think of is getting that FOOD!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I got to meet my brother Carson!  Holy cow!  It was like looking in the mirror at a thinner me! We met at Downing Park in Yorktown - I had never been there before - so it was I guess neutral territory for both of us.  
I was a bit bad in the beginning - he went to say hello to my mom and I was all GRRRRRR - That is MY MOTHER!  But I calmed down.  And then we went to the ballfield and got to play and run without leashes! And it was San-Fran-TASTIC!  And Carson's Mom took lots of photos of us - and Carson's Dad was so much fun to play with!  And Carson - he is just super-cute!  (Of course - he looks a lot like me! BOL!) 
We had a really swell time.  And Carson's Mom and Dad and my Mom all talked about how many things we do that are alike - well of course!  Even though we are from different litters - he is just a year old and I am two and a half - we still have the same mother and father, Katie and Rocky  and we both have Nana Karen at the farm.  Carson got to stay with Nana for a longer time than I did though - he was about ten weeks when he left - and Nana cried when she put him on the plane - because she had him with her for longer - and do you believe it - he came here on a plane! Wow! 
Also - his mom is really nice - and she gave me water (of course my mother left everything of mine in the car) - and (!) then Carson gave me a present - and it was - gasp! BALLS!  I didn't unwrap them yet.  But I think I will tomorrow.  And - even better?  His mom had some loose balls in her bag!  
Of course there was a bit of an incident - because I wanted BOTH balls - so they had to go nite-nite in Aunt Danielle's bag - what can I say?  I am obsessed!  
But I am really really glad I got to see Carson - and I really love him.  He's the best! 
Oh - and when I got home?  I was wiped out!  Took a really long nap! 
Carson - I LOVE YOU!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well last year they didn't bother me that much - I actually watched them for quite a bit because we can see the really big ones they do down at the river right from our back deck - but this year?  We had a bit of a scare, me and Rems.  We were all out in the yard - Mom was doing some gardening in the long flower bed that we are no longer allowed to go in (but Rem has been lifting his leg on a few new plantings).  And all of a sudden there was a loud BOOM!  Well I looked at Rem, and he looked at me - and we both said - MOM!  At the same time - and ran over to her.  She told us it was okay - not to worry and reminded us about the firecrackers.  Of course, His Royal Fatness - Oliver Louis - wasn't the least bit disturbed by the big BOOM!  He is soooo annoying.  And tonight it was raining so we did not go out on the deck to look at the big fireworks, but I heard them from inside and Mom said "It's okay Peep. come over here near me" so that's what I did.  And that's where I still am right now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well last night I had some very exciting news.  My brother Carson - he has the same Mom and Dad that I do - Katie and Rocky - but he is from a later litter - are finally going to get together for a play date!  
His Dad called my mom last night and we are going to get together over the week of the 4th of July!  
I am so excited I could just wet myself!  Mom is excited too - but she is also telling me that I had better be very well-behaved.  What is wrong with her - I am always well behaved - she's so kooky.  
I wonder if he is as large and in charge as I am?  I am pretty spoiled too - but Mom said she is going to get some new toys and will make sure that there are plenty for both of us to play with.  I am so excited!  This is going to be a blast!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Saturday was a Big Wagging Day for me!  First Nana came over in the morning and had coffee on the deck and I got to play dog ball in the morning with Mommie while Nana watched.  She really enjoyed watching me.  And then later on in the day - I got to play dog ball again!  Never have I played twice in one day!  I was so excited I could hardly control myself.  
And then Saturday night I was on the bed and Mommie told me to "go to your crate"  so I gave her my best heartbrokern look and got up and went.  Normally she comes in a bit after that and we have many "love yous" and head petting - and she closes the crate door.  But she didn't come right away and when she did and we had our "love yous" and petting - she left the crate door open!  So I waited about a half hour or so and went trotting back in to the bedroom, where (gasp!) Oliver Louis was on his bed in the corner and Rems was sleeping on the floor near Mommie.  And Mom said "No Duds! Crate!" So I turned right back around and back into my crate I went.  In the very early morning I snuck back in and Oliver Louis was sleeping on top of Dad's head and Rems was inbetween Mom and Dad - so that was it for me - I assumed my "position" at the bottom of the bed near Mom's feet.  Ahhhhh.  Now I wonder if the same thing will happen tonight?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The other evening Dad let me out in the yard - around 9:30 at night and then yelled for Mom and my brothers to come out with us.  Now - to me this is a sure sign that we are going to be playing Dog Ball - which is when Mom calls me over to the dishwasher and lets me take one of my balls outside so she can throw it and I can retrieve it and this can go on forever as far as I'm concerned  - I LOVE TO PLAY BALL!  
Well, she had two balls and Rem was using the lighter one.  Dad picked up the green one to throw it for me and said to Mom - "this ball is too heavy - get rid of it - you could break a window with it"  and Mom said "stop - don't be silly" and threw it and it went smack into the garage (aka Man Cave) window!  And smashed the bejeebers out of it!  Mom started laughing and Dad was furious!  So he ran into the house and came out with the dinner she had made him - one of his all time favs that she hadn't made in ages - Impossible Cheeseburger Pie - and he said "you think that's funny?  How about this?" and he threw it into the yard!  Which got my attention because I was standing at the garage window waiting for someone to find that ball for me - so I ran over and started eating the pie!  Rem was there too!  Surprisingly the pie landed pretty much intact, outside of the pie plate - and Mom quickly grabbed it - and put it back in the pie plate - she was trying very hard to fake she was angry - but couldn't stop laughing.  Dad was cleaning the glass up and grumbling.  Mom went inside and laughed her head off and then went back out and said (faking she was upset) "I cannot believe that you did that to the pie - what I did was an ACCIDENT! I am never cooking for you again" and went into the house and laughed her head off even more.  
Dad gave me my ball and I brought it inside.  Then he came in and said - "I had to clean that glass up so no one would get a cut in their paw! I put the window in your car to take and get fixed" and Mom said "Fine - I am angry with you for throwing that pie - do not speak to me" and yet she was looking at me and smiling!  The next night we all got to have the pie mixed in with our dinner and it was delicious! And Mom did not cook for Dad for the rest of the week.  He has been living on pancakes and hot dogs!  So last night he tried to apologize and this morning she finally forgave him.  But what I want to know is will she ever cook for him again?  Even more important - will she ever make that pie again?  It was FABU!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom took me to the park this week and I discovered something new!  And quite exciting!  What are these things they call squirells?  How do they go so fast?  I ran to the tree and that little bugger was way up there already!  I jumped on the tree and said "Get back down here you and let me see you!"  And he just looked at me and ran away!  Jeepers!

And then we had a really big thunderstorm a day or so after that.  I did not care for that at all.  So now I suppose I have discovered that I am a tad afraid of thunder.  I had to go and lean in to Mommie for a bit.  And then I felt much better.  Now I know I wasn't afraid of this last year - so this is a big surprise to me that I am a bit anxious when it happens now.  Oh well, as long as Mom's around I will be okay.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tomorrow is a special day for the most specialist people in my life!

For my mother - 
You are always there for me - telling me how much you love me every single day.
Playing with me - even when you are trying to cook.
Playing catch with me outside - even when you are trying to cook on the grill because I am barking like a banshee at you to PLEASE PLAY WITH ME NOW.
Telling me I am so handsome all the time.
Taking the toy that I had that Ollie took from me and giving it back to me all the time - usually because I am BARKING LIKE A BANSHEE to PLEASE COME AND GET MY TOY FOR ME NOW.
Letting me sleep on the bed with you - until it's time for me to go to my bed in my crate.
And telling me every night after I am in my crate that you love me and petting my head the way I like.
Sneaking me out of the house on Oliver Louis so I can go to the park and get exercise and taking me to Petsmart and to Nana's and all those other places we go.
Getting a really nice black and red check blanket for me for the back seat of your new car - so I don't feel bad about leaving paw marks.
Bringing water to the park s0 that I can always have a drink if I want.
Making me special scrambled eggs and cheese and toast for dinner. 
Giving me some of your steak.
Saying "Thank you, Peep!" when I bring you just one of your slippers.
Always letting me stay with you even when you are trying to clean and have to clean all around me.
Knowing when I come over to you in the living room when you are reading or watching the telly - that I want my ears and my paws stroked just for a little while and then I will go and lay down like a good boy.
Getting me my favorite things to retrieve and then throwing them for me for really long times - before they have to go "nite-nite" in the dishwasher.
Not getting mad at me even though I chewed the skirt on the brand new sofa and fixing it so Dad never found out.
Crying and hugging and yelling at me all at the same time - that day last June when we all got out because the gate was open and I was gone for over five hours. 
Letting me sleep on the bed with you and Dad that same night last June because Rems was missing and I was worried and didn't want to sleep alone - and you and Dad and Ollie were worried too - but he was at the door the next morning.  
For knowing what I mean when I look at you with so much love in my eyes and telling me you know I love you as much as you love me.
For telling me I have the best hiney in the world. 
For trimming my toenails really nicely and not getting mad when I won't let you trim Rem's.
For taking the time every day to work on my "manners" with me.
For being the best Mother a doggie like me could ever hope to have - 
I love you Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

So I asked if I would be like the Head Wagger or Wagger No. 1 and he said "no, just a Wagger - there will be just Waggers - no Head Wagger or No. 1 Wagger - why must you make even the easiest thing so INVOLVED?"  Then I got poopy with him and said "I'll have to think about it - or perhaps I should WAG ABOUT IT?"  BOL!  I laughed my butt off - for like a half hour!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

It showed when Oprah and Steadman went to get two !!!!! - Golden puppies!  And they had two picked out - but Oprah saw another one that had a little bit of an underbite and she wanted to take her home too - and she said to Steadman - "what's the difference between two and three?" and he said "Huge difference - we came for two - and we are only getting two"  and then you see them walking out with THREE golden puppinas!  Luke, Gracie and Leila -those are the cutest!  And how the nice trainer trained them manners - I need to have my mother write to that Oprah for me - I need to send my Nana Karen an e-mail and ask her if she knows about this Oprah thing - I need to get started!  I have lots to do - but oh I love that Oprah!]]></content:encoded>

Because you are the World's Best Nana !Mommie says you are the World's best Mother and I said "of course she is - you don't get to be the World's Best Nana without being that first!  BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday something very strange happened!  Mom took Oliver Louis all by himself out with her - IN THE CAR!  I am usually the one who goes!  ME! 
Then I found out he went to the vet.  And I was even more upset!  Because he got to see a baby puppy named Maggie - a yellow lab, he said she looked just like the little doggie on the Advantex commercials on TV!  And she actually WANTED to play with him!  And then he had some interaction with a cat - who was in her crate and very pissy - and Dr. P said "stay away from her Oliver Louis - she'll make mincemeat out of you"  And another doggie - a black lab who was there to have her bandage changed.  He got to have all this fun!  I am very disappointed that I wasn't asked to accompany him - because he is a BIG BIG - the BIGGEST of BABIES when it comes to going to the vet and I thought for sure Mom would want me to come along and hold his paw.  But she didn't.  Hmmmmmmm.  And then today it was really too chilly for me to be out with her.  But!  I know we are out of dog food.  And I know that means that tomorrow afternoon we'll be taking a little trip to Petsmart - just me and my Mom!  And that is NO April Fool!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mother told me today about a friend of hers at work - she has a little boy and a little girl.  They just got a St. Bernard puppy!  And when she asked her children what they should name her - they said "Daisy Lou!"  So that is her name.
My mom also told me that Daisy Lou weighed much more than I did at eight weeks - I thought I was a big boy at 14 lbs.  but Daisy Lou has me beat!  She weighed 20 lbs.!  Holy cow!  That's a big girl.  I wonder if I will ever get to play with her?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I really did it last night.  I pulled as Mom says a "real Trusty" and flinched food off the counter.  It was a Fritatta - and it was delicious!  It had eggs and veggies and it was sooooo yummy!  
And Mommie was sooooo mad!  That was from Aunt Babs and Nana's house and was supposed to be her breakfast this morning!  
And the reason Mom says it was very "Trusty-like" was that it was placed far back on the counter - so I really had to work to get it.  
I knew how bad I was - as soon as I heard her voice.  And when she looked at me - I had to hang my head and not look at her, because I felt bad.  For at least five minutes!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was the first really really WARM day of the Spring!  And you know what that means?  Windows open, curtains swaying in the breeze and sounds of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE no longer filtered through glass!  Needless to say this is EXCITEMENT!  Oliver Louis barks and everything and everyone and I go along for the ride!

Oh and yesterday?  We were all in the yard with Mom while she did her annual scoop-the-poop-a-thon.  That too, means that Spring has really arrived.  She normally is a vigilante when it comes to keeping the backyard poop-free.  But when it gets very cold - if it gets very cold - in January and February - and especially if it snows, then the poop scooping comes to a halt until it is warm enough to do on a daily basis.  And let me tell you - with all the snow we had there towards the end?  I didn't think there'd be anywhere we didn't poop!  BOL!  
Uh-oh!  Gotta go - someones walking outside! YAY!]]></content:encoded>

It has been so very warm out and we finally get to see the back lawn and all the damage we've done to it over the winter and now it's going to be covered up with snow again!  No problem for me - because I love the snow.  I love to play in it.  To run in it, stick my nose in it, chase Rem around the yard in it!  Then I like to come inside and get cozy with my mother afterwards.  I would like Spring to come but I'll take one more snow storm!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have this new thing I do almost every night now.  After I have been told it's time for "nite-nite" and I go into my crate, I take a little nap.  Then I wake up early early early in the morning, like 2:00 am and sneak down the hall and back up on the bed with Mom and Dad and Rem and OL.  And I settle down at the bottom and do nice sleepy until the alarm goes off!  Hee hee.  
But this morning - Mom escorted me back to my crate at some point - and she locked me in there!  I wasn't too thrilled about that - but I still managed to spend more time sleeping on the bed with everyone than I did in my crate!  I think the secret is to be very very quiet and try to take up as little space as possible.  I know I am getting really good at the former but there's really not much I can do about the latter!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mother is the very best.  She tells me every day how much she loves me.  She tells me how handsome I am.  How good I am.  How nice and sweet I am.  And sometimes, when I am on the bed, and I grrrrrrr at her because I want her to hold my paw or something - sometimes she grrrrrrrrrrs back at ME!  And then I have no choice but to grrrrrrrr back at her and it goes on until I break and put my paw around her and kiss her.  She is so kooky sometimes!  But there's no one else in the world I'd rather be with!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night was very very very VERY cold!  The wind was howling - and it was a good night to be cozy.  So, when I went to sleep I started out on the bed - with Rem.  Then Oliver Louis came in and got on the bed - in between the two of us.  Dad was already there, in his appointed spot.  Mom showed up and everyone made room for her.  It was lovely.  Then Mom said "Peep - time for bed"  So I went into my room into my crate - but it wasn't as nice there.  So early in the morning I opened the door, walked down the hall and back on the bed.  Three doggies on the bed.  No complaints from either human - it was beyond cozy!  And all of us were nice and toasty!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday Mom was quite busy - she finished painting the yellow room.  She also installed the little cap thing-ers that go on recessed lighting in the yellow room.  
She told me "Peep, we are moving and grooving here" And then she took my blankets out of my crate and brought them downstairs.  Why, I wondered?  Then I saw why - she washed them for me!  So last night when I went nite-nite - oh how cozy and fluffy those blankies were!  I loved it!  Thanks Mom!  You are the best!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday I finally got sprung from the house!  With all the snow and the cold weather lately it has been impossible for my mom to sneak me out of the house.  And sneaking me out is the only way to get me out with His Hiney-ness Oliver Louis around.  
But it has been so long that I was really jonesing for at least a little car ride. So last night, I stood my ground.  When Mom came to open the door and let us in from the backyard, I sat down and looked at her as if to say "No way!  I know you are going to Nana's and I want in!"  So she shook her head and closed the door, leaving me outside.  I waited.  I went back and looked in the window of the door - yes, she was still there - moving around, picking up her handbag and keys - so YAY!  It was going to happen!
I heard her at the back gate and ran to that side of the deck.  But it wasn't budging.  I heard her say "Hang on Peep".  Then the car started!  Where was she going after she told me to "hang on"?  She pulled into the side driveway!  I ran across the yard and was waiting at that gate.  But there was frozen snow and ice on the stairs leading up to it from her side.  Again, she said "hang on Peeper!" And she opened the car door and hit the magic garage button.  There was Dad in there watching his telly - she walked in with my leash - I ran around to the side door of the garage - she came out, clipped my leash on, I said a quick bye to Dad - and we made our escape through the garage!  
Ahhhhhh.   Once we got to Trusty's house - we went in and surprised everyone.  Trusty was happy to see me.  Kylie was not, because I took his ball and was walking around with it until Mom took it away from me and made it go night-night in Nana's dishwasher.  So I went upstairs to Aunt Babs' room and found a lovely brand new bone, which I promptly brought downstairs with me and went back and forth from Nana to Aunt Babs and then over to Mom with bone in mouth wagging my entire REAR END because I was SOOOOOO HAPPY to be there.  
And Trusty told me that Aunt Babs has been singing a song to him and Kylie in the mornings from the movie Dreamgirls - only she changed the words and she sings "We are Dreamdogs...." and he sang a bit more of it to me - I really liked that.  Woo-hoo - I wonder if the diva, Oliver Louis knows he's not the only doggie in this family who can belt out a tune!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom told me that the reason she hasn't taken me on any car trips t0 Petsmart or Nana's or anywhere else for that matter is because the back gate is still frozen shut.  So she can't sneak me out.  Which is the only way, with Oliver Louis being the mental cuckoo that he is, that she can get me safely out.  Ahhhhhh - I cannot wait for it to get warmer.  
Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love the snow - as a matter of fact we had some fresh snow last night and it was great this morning running around the yard with Rems and Ollie - but when it gets warmer the gate will un-freeze and I can ride in the car and feel a Spring Breeze!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh poor Oliver Louis.  He is beside himself because someone put something other than the Black Eyed Peas into the CD player, and he cannot seem to locate his BEP disc.  He is going mental, with a capital M.  BOL!  I think it was Mommie - and I liked it whatever it was because let's face it - after fifty-thousand hundred million times, one can get tired - even of Miss Fergie.  He should just chill out and calm down - I am sure that his BEP disc will be back in place tonight.   Maybe I should go over and start play biting him - it'll take his mind off of it for a while anyway.  Oh - and his show is coming on soon - so that'll help - he watches Judge Judy faithfully every day - from 4:00 to 5:00!  Have you ever heard of a doggie who refuses to take phone calls or be disturbed during Judge Judy?  Well, I have - he's my brother!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is Valentine's Day.  And!  It is also a Wednesday.  And it snowed and there's lots of ice outside - and (!) both Mommie and Daddy are home today because of that!  What could be better for a dog like me?  Except maybe some more snow?  BOL!  And Mommie says it will probably snow later today - so we can have some fun outside!  
I also got to have some toasty this morning and a small piece of plain boiled ham - very small piece.  Plus - I know there are my favorite cookies downstairs - Vienna Fingers - and I will bet anything that because it is a special day Mommie will give us each one later.  
So - really what could be better than having a Valentine's Day that falls right smack in the middle of the week and yet both of your parents are home with you?  I am sooooo happy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh Aunt Babs!  I know yesterday was your birthday - but Mom did not give me any computer time!  So today is my special Ode to Babs:

You loved me before I was even born.

When Mom wasn't sure if she really really wanted me - you knew she did - and just waited.

When Mommie called you crying that she didn't know what she was doing saying she didn't want me - you got in touch with Nana Karen right away and gave her a deposit.  Nana Karen knew too - that's why when people wanted to know if I was still available she said "no - he's spoken for"

When I came to my mother on the big truck with my sister Sophie, and brother Toby (who we dropped off on the way) and my cousin Murray - you were there right next to Mommie when I came off the truck.

You always treat me special.

When we had that "incident" last June where we were missing for a while you were out there with Trusty looking for me.  And when I got home you had a long talk with me about never doing that again.  And I listened to you - because the last time the gate was opened I remembered what you said and there was NO WAY I was leaving the yard - even if Rems and OL did.

When Mommie had to work nights for a while you let me sleep at your house with you on the weekend.  

You always clean my ears.

You always tell me how special I am.

You are the biggest lover of doggies that I know - next to my Mommie.

You are loved by doggies every where!  

I really hope you win the lottery so you can have a big compound and rescue doggies and maybe have one litter of goldens.  

I love you Aunt Babs - Happy Happy Birthday!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just do not like going into the grooming salon.  As soon as we get close to the door and I see Mom open it, I sit my butt down and refuse to move - and she has to drag/slide me in there.  I know that I am being "difficult" but too bad!  
Of course, I was fine after I was in there.  I love getting a bath - so again I don't know why I have this "tikkio" (thing) about actually entering the salon.  
And I got my teeth brushed and my nails clipped - and a very little bit of a trim and some conditioner so I feel FABU!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Blanche is a lovely Rotti who belongs to John Daniele.  A friend of Mom's.  I met Blanche when I was a baby - and we played and froliced in the snow near her house all the way down the road.  I was still a baby then - I remember John actually held me!  '

Blanche has one of the most beautiful backsides of any doggie I know - and she really shakes her bootie!  BOL!  When we are driving in the car - sometimes we see one of John's friends or tenants walking her - and Mommy says "look Dud - who's hiney is that?"  And I bark out loud - "It's Blanche-y!" 

Mom said that there's a doggie park that we are going to go to with Blanche and John - and if she wasn't feeling like Oliver Louis poop today we would've gone - so get better quick Mom!  We need to go!  And Mom says that a new doggie - a bulldog named Stella who spends lots of time at Blanche's house and at Aunt Cindy's house (she lives right near Blanche) might come too!  I cannot wait!  Me and a bunch of girls!  Yay!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mothers know things - things that dogs and other people do not.  Like tonight - Mom was making Chicken Cordon Blue - one of Dad's favs and when she was getting all the ingredients out to prep she took out a wrapped package of thin chicken breasts.  WRAPPED.  By Frank Perdue - not the local butcher.  Then she took out the eggs, the bread crumbs and the packages of ham and swiss cheese.  She opened the ham and counted out seven pieces.  She opened the cheese and counted out seven pieces.  Then she opened the package of chicken breasts and started to put everything together.  I am thinking "maybe there will be only four or five chicken breasts in that package, then maybe she will give the leftover pieces to us".  But!  There were exactly seven pieces of chicken breast in that package!  How did she know that!?  I ask Rem and he said it's this thing that mothers have - Extra-Momarie-Perception.  Sort of on the order of extra-sensory-perception, but in a Mommie kind of way.  So I thought about this for a while - and I decided he's right.  She really knows lots of things that happen when she isn't here too.

Today she came home and knew that Dad had Honey-Nut Cheerios.  She knew he still wasn't feeling well.  And she knew that he forgot to take his cold and cough medicine and called him from work to remind him.  Amazing!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just noticed that something funny is happening with one of my most adorable parts of my anatomy - my nose!  The nose that my mother tells me everyday is one of the cutest parts of me.  The nose that my mother tells me everyday she loves the very most of all the noses in the world - on any person or animal.  The nose I use quite a bit every day!  My nose is CHANGING COLORS!  My nose is......gasp.....turning PINK!  What is up with this?  Why is this happening?  
Mom said she is not concerned - because apparently Lily Marie Murphy's nose is also changing color to pink.  Lily Marie is a golden who's Dad works with Mom.  So Lily's Dad, Dennis and my mom are always comparing Golden Retriever Notes with eachother.  Lily is right around my age too - maybe just a little bit younger.  Mom has promised that one day we will play together.  But right now I am wondering WHY IS MY NOSE changing COLORS?  I must see if Nana Karen can help me out with this one!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight I proved to Mom and Dad how very much I love them.  Ollie and Rems went for a short runner - Austin had visited earlier in the day and accidentially left the back gate open - I was shocked that Rems went with Ollie!  After the "incident" last June he said "never again"  And I know I AM NEVER LEAVING MY HOUSE AND MY MOTHER!  
But they came right back and then when Rems came in he told me he only went to keep an eye on Ollie - which is totally understandable.  But I feel good because Dad said "Dudley didn't go - he must've said no way he was going through that again - he stayed home like a good boy"  Thanks, Dad!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday was Friday - we all knew Mom was going to doctor because she left late - and was not doing the "get ready for work routine" - so I was hoping something special would happen.  It started to rain - but was still very warm out - and I thought "okay - so no walk to the park but maybe she'll do something else with me"  And she did!  We went to Petsmart together and I met a doggie named Jinx who wanted to play with me and I also stuck my nose in on the puppy class that was going on and saw the cutest girl puppy - Shepard and Boxer mix - she was adorable and played with me after her class.  I also got weighed and apparently I am now 94 pounds and Mom says she is not happy about that.  We are all on diets now - so Mommie bought our regular food and the Weight control food and mixed them together in our food bin - but last night we all got just regular food.  And we got some chewey bones too.  Then Mom ran into Bombay to get a tree angel - on sale - and I waited very nicely in the car.  Then home we went and Ollie and Rems were so happy to see me!  
And last night when I went nite-nite in my crate Mom closed the door but did not lock me in so early this morning instead of crying I just got out of crate and went and jumped into bed with her and Dad and OL and Rems - I love Saturdays!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well here is a story that Mommie told me the other night.  She was driving home from the store on Tuesday night and she saw a black lab cross the street from the park.  She was concerned, so she stopped the car and got out and talked to him.  He looked at her and wagged furiously.  So she went over to him and checked his collar - he had a tag that said "Roscoe" with a phone number.  So she asked him if he'd like to take a little ride with her.  And he wagged yes.  So she opened the back door to her car and he put his two front paws up and she helped him with the back legs - gave him a little boost.  He sat there nicely in the back - just like I do.  And she said to him "You should not be out by yourself Mister!"  She drove up the street to our house - but she drove to the driveway on the side of the house - where the garage is - she asked him to wait for her - said she'd be right back - and then she pushed the button in the car to open the garage door.  Dad came out from the back of the garage to see what was going on and said "who is that?" when he saw Roscoe sitting in the back of Mom's car - Mom said "It's Roscoe" and Roscoe wagged his tail as if to say "yes, it's me, Roscoe"  She called his house and when a man answered the phone she said "hello, do you have a doggie named Roscoe?"  and the man said "Yes, why?" And Mommie said "do you know where he is?" and the man said "Hang on" and when he came back and got on the phone he said "Oh my goodness! Where is he? Do you have him" And Mommie said "I have him with me - where do you live?"  And it turned out that Roscoe was pretty close to his house - when Mom saw him - but!  He had escaped the yard - walked out the front gate which someone had left open - probably when the trash was being put out.  When Mom drove down and turned onto Pine Street she immediately knew which house was his because there were people waiting outside.  And Roscoe's father, Ray, told Mom what had happened - and Roscoe's family was so happy to see him!  And he was happy to see them!  And Ray said "Roscoe!  You scared us!"  And the rest of his family was like "Roscoe!" You could tell there was lots of love for him.  Mom felt very good - because she felt as if she helped Roscoe avoid a bad situation - even though she's pretty sure he would've made his way home.  Mom says that she thanks God every single day for getting Remy home safely after being out all night on that day of trauma last June.  And I think Remy thanks God everynight too.  I know I do - I thank Him for having Dad find me and Ollie that day when we were pretty far away and  also for bringing Remy home.  Because, as I am sure Roscoe knows, there really is no place like home!]]></content:encoded>

Oh my goodness - they are blue and plush and I immediately put one in my mouth and was savouring it when she said "no, Peep!  Those are mine from Aunt Babs! You cannot have them"  Then she asked me to please let go.  And, sigh, I had no choice - I had to.  But she was so happy that I was good she gave me my little pillow - which I love to walk around with in my mouth.  Thanks Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For Mommie and me.  Because two years ago, on December 29th I arrived in NY and into my Mommie's arms!  My Nana Karen put me and my brother Toby and my sister Sophie and my cousin Murray along with some other siblings on the TransPet truck the day after Christmas 2004 so we could go to our forever homes.  
Toby got dropped off at Uncle Bob's and when we got to Red Hook, NY Sophie's Mom Debbie was there with my mom and Aunt Babs and Johnny.  We took Murray with us, and then his mother (Nana worked with her husband) came and got him.  
Mom always tells me how little I was compared to now!  And how when we all got in the car I wanted to party all the way home!  Then when we got home I wasn't supposed to really be in contact with Rems and Ollie - so Mom had to hold me.  She brought me upstairs to Dad - he thought she went to the movies - and he said "who is that?" and she said "it's our new baby dog, Dudley" and Dad said "well, bring him over here and let's see him"  So she did.  And I still wanted to party!  Then downstairs we went to see if I would do wee-wee outside, and then into my warm and cozy crate where I promptly fell fast asleep!  Now that I am a big boy I still like to party, but now I have Remy and Oliver Louis to party with me!  BOL!  And yes, I still have a cozy crate - because three dogs in the bed is way too much for Dad to handle.  But the size of my crate now compared to my first one is like a bajillion sizes bigger!  
Because of my special day we all had toast for breakfast!  Yum.  
I am so glad my Mommie and Nana Karen got together!  I love you both!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy!  It's really starting to feel Christmas-y around here - even if the temperatues are not too bad!  Today it is about 40 degrees - the coldest it's been in ages - but Mom says that's okay - we'll take it.  
And the reason I say it is Christmas-y is because this morning we all got to have English Muffins with whipped butter on them for breakfast and this is a Mom work day!  This is very special!  And then after that, all three of us got to put on our new Jingle Bell Christmas Collars and run upstairs to go on the bed with Dad!  We sounded like a sleigh of Reindeer!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

The one good thing about it - actually two good things - are - 1.  He said I have Retriever Radar!  That is sooooo cool!  oh and he told Santa that I used the word "remnants"!  ha ha ha ha ha ha - he is hysterical!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The other day we were all outside in the yard playing - and when we came back inside something was missing!  Something BIG!  Something I had been very bad about going into when it was time for nite-nite lately!  My Crate!  Wowie, I thought!  This is it - it went away!  Then I started thinking of my blankie in there and that I could go in there right after I did something not so great and just relax and get away from Oliver Louis who usually instigated the badness - so I sort of missed it.  
Well, I didn't have to miss it for long because when we went upstairs there it was!  In Mom's office/studio - so now we all go upstairs when it's time for nite-nite!  And the best part is that I get to hang out on Mom and Dad's bed first before I go into my crate.  That part I really like a lot.  I know Oliver Louis doesn't but who cares.  He is usually hanging out on his chair in the other bedroom anyway.  
I am glad my crate is still around.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am really really really in love with Mom's slippers.  Any pair of them will do, but I am really loving the ones that Aunt Marianne had given her for her birthday either this year or last.  And, while Mom was sleeping and I was out of my crate last Friday night, I went to work on one of them - tearing the guts out of it.  So, now they are MINE, MINE, MINE.  I walk around with one in my mouth all the time.  When I get up in the morning, I bring it out of the crate with me.  I go outside and do my morning business, but when I come back in the house, it goes right back in my mouth.  When Dad comes home - I run and find one of them - and run circles around him with it in my mouth.  And in the mornings when we all go on the bed to say Good Morning to him - I sit on top of his head with one in my mouth - and he always says "I do not want that slipper right now!"  BOL!  Like I would really give it to him!  
But the most exciting thing of all is what I saw in Mom's closet yesterday - I almost peed on the floor!  I saw a pair of slippers - BRAND NEW - with SNOWMEN on THEM!  I am drooling just thinking about them!  Maybe I can get Rem to open the closet door for me?  Hmmmmmm.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our backyard was, as Mom put it yesterday, a Poop Minefield.  I really didn't understand what she meant until she said that everywhere any of us looked there was a big pile of poop!  BOL!  Well, I can't help it - when I poop, I poop big!  
Mom also said it's funny how you can tell who did what poop in certain areas.
Oliver Louis likes the perimeter of the yard and all along the garage - small turds, some balls - hee hee.  Remy is partial to the side yard, medium sized poops.  And me?  Well I am ALLOVER the yard - mostly the middle and BIG BIG TURDS everywhere!  Plus - Mom says that I am a spaced pooper - meaning I start out in one spot, then take a few steps before I finish with my final turd/ball.  BOL!  We all helped scoop yesterday - and I am happy to say - our yard is now Poop Free!  So, Santa - if you need to make an emergencey landing - take note!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a new thing I do at night now.  And I don't think Mom is really appreciating it but I cannot help myself.  When she says it is time for "nite-nite" instead of going into my crate like I normally do - I walk all around the house and then try to go upstairs - I do NOT WANT TO GO INTO MY CRATE!  I am not ready for Nite-Nite!  And I do not want to do it downstairs away from everyone.  So what Mom has been doing is letting me come upstairs for a while to watch telly and bother Dad on the bed and then after a bit of that - I go downstairs to my crate.  

Monday was really the worst - this is when it started.  She was at a craft fair in the afternoon so our entire weekday routine was ruined.  When she tried to get me to go nite-nite, I went but I looked so very very sad that she couldn't leave me there.  I looked sad because I was sad!  I wanted to be with my mother!  So after she realized this, upstairs I went.  For a little while anyway.  So I did the same thing on Tuesday and last night - only I didn't even have to look half as sad as I did on Monday!  Maybe this means I will actually get to sleep upstairs for the whole night soon!]]></content:encoded>

And I know those budgies are here - they are at Nana's house.  Aunt Marianne went to the park - and walked the trails and then came to my house.  I asked her "why don't you come and get me first?"  She said that maybe one day soon before she and those budgie go back to Cambridge that we will go for a nice walk in the park - of course, Mr. Fathead Oliver Louis - who already got to ride in the car with her on Saturday - had to stick his big face into this conversation and say "why, I find the park lovely this time of year" with his fake Lord of the Manner English accent - but she was talking to ME!  Keeping my paws crossed on this one!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did not go with Ollie and Rems when they took a runner earlier today.  Mom was hysterically nutty flailing about in her nightdress.  And the way she screamed and scooped at me to prevent me from going - it's like nothing I have ever seen before!  I was so amazed I didn't bother to try to get out anymore - the show she was putting on stopped me in my tracks!  When those two got back I gave it to them but good!  And Mom didn't even look like my Mom anymore - hair everywhere, mud allover - YIKES!  And Oliver Louis laughing!  He should be ashamed of himself!  And he wonders why he doesn't get to go on special trips to Petsmart all that often!  Holy cow!  I love you, Mommie - I will try to behave.  And you can give me any treats you like, I'll take them.  Happy  Thanksgiving!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everydog and their people.  There is one dog however, that I am a bit peeved with to put it mildly.  This one dog happens to be related to me - and I am not going to name any names but you know who you are OL - and you know that wasn't very nice to take my Santy Toy and destroy it when I wasn't looking!  But I forgive you - because A) I sort of egged you on with it and B) Mom already said she'd get me a new one - and that is one thing I am really really thankful for - that I have a mother like mine as my Mother!  Mommie - you are the best - I LOVE YOU!  And Remy, and Trusty, and Kylie and Tweeterson, and Lena Vanderbeek and Aunt Babs and Aunt Marianne, and Nana and Daddy and Johnny and even you Oliver Louis!  Oh - and Nana Karen and Grandpa Bill at the farm and my real Mom and Dad, Katie and Rocky and Grandma Jean and Grandpa Bill and Doodles, and Uncle Bobby and Toby.........and all my pup pals on dogster..........I could go on all day!  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brother Toby is a lot like me.  When we were at the farm, Nana Karen said we used to be together all the time and play and get into trouble together.  Toby lives with Nana Karen's brother - that's my Uncle Bob - in Connecticut.  This morning Uncle Bob was on the telephone, and he heard a noise.  When he turned around - the covers to the bed he had just made were all thrown back and there was the Tobster laying in his bed with his head on Uncle Bob's pillow - looking at him with big eyes.  Uncle Bob said to Mommie - "How could anyone get mad at a dog when he does something like that?"  And Mommie agrees with him.  But, Toby is bad like me sometimes, and hence his nickname - The Tobinator, oh and another one is Toby the Terror!  I am going to go and visit him soon - I love him!]]></content:encoded>

Apparently this is a doctor that all the ladies like.  And in addition to being tall dark and handsome, he is very nice.  Mom told me that his name begins with a "P" - like Peep - and that all the nurses in the hospital call him Dr. P'dorable - I like that - if I was a doctor would I be called Dr. Dudley?  Or Dr. Peep-dorable?  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love both my Nanas.  My Nana Karen at the farm in Missouri, and my Nana in NY - my Mommie's Mom.  Oh, and yes, I love my Grandma Jean LOTS too!  (that's Dad's Mom).  My Nana Karen had surgery on her back and now my 
NY Nana had her knee replaced yesterday.  I had no idea you could do this.  

Trusty is very upset I am sure because he spends so much time with Nana.  Mom says that this is the best thing for Nana - now she can really "run right over" and she can play with all of us better.  She just has to get through the rehab part - which is about a week or two.

And even bigger news is that Aunt Marianne is coming with those Budgies of Badness!  Well Stretch isn't bad - it's just Lena Vanderbeek - she has that "hen" attitude, that's what Trusty says.  Anyway - they are coming to stay for like two weeks!  Holy cow!  There's gonna be a lot of wagging going on!  BOL!
I just want Nana to get better really fast - so she can come over here and play with me and I can give her BIG BIG KISSES!  Love you Nana!]]></content:encoded>

And then - Mom brought this stuff out of the freezer and Rem and OL started wagging - I had no idea what it was - at this point even Dad was wagging his butt.  I thought What could this be?  Well, when I tasted it - MAMA MIA!  It was like nothing I've had ever before in my life - it was the best thing to ever happen to me - food-wise - because of course the BEST thing to ever happen to me in my LIFE was getting off that Transpet Truck and going right into my mother's arms!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night we had a swell birthday celebration for me.  We had steak and I got to play fetch with my favorite toy out of the dishwasher - my flying saucer!  Mom threw it and threw it and threw it for me.  Ollie kept jumping on top of me and playing with me - but once he got yelled at for being too rough,  I wanted to tell Mom - "don't worry - I can handle him!"  
Then after we had our steak - and it was really delish!  We all got special T-Bonz treats - it was a really really good birthday!  And tonight is Halloween, so the children will come in their costumes.  I am soooo excited.  Mom said she might take me to Nana's in my Santa Paws costume if I am good and if we have time.  AND!  She also said that Friday night we are having the big birthday extravaganza - with really special treats and Trusty and Kylie are invited!  YAY!]]></content:encoded>

I want to say thanks to all my pup pals for all the rosettes and birthday wishes and to Dogster Headquarters too!  
Mom said that tonight we will have a special treat - but since Rem's birthday is on November 2, Thursday, we will have a Big Birthday Extravaganza on Friday night.  I can't wait.  
Even Oliver Louis is being nice to me today!  I feel so special.  And even more important, I feel so loved (but I feel that everyday) by my wonderful family!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night we were all on the bed with Mom.  Dad was in the garage doing whatever it is that he does in there - Mom says he is "unwinding" - I guess if you have a heated four car garage with cable, satellite radio, phone, heat and a fridge - that is as good a place as any to unwind.  
So we all fell asleep on the bed.  Then Dad came in and we all went out - when we came back I went into my crate for night-night.  Dad looked at me and said "what's the matter, Dudley?" He doesn't put me to bed enough at night to know that is my standard fake "Poor Me I have to stay in the crate" look.  So upstairs I go with Dad.  Mom says "What? What's going on here?" So Dad explains how forlorn I looked and let's see if I can be a good boy.  Of course I am a good boy - I am just large and in charge!  BOL!  And when I want my mother to touch me - she had better jolly well do it - or I will growl at her and nudge her until she does!  I wonder if I will sleep upstairs again tonight?]]></content:encoded>

Ollie is sulking because there's some silly show on telly he wants to be watching right now - but it's a beautiful day!  We need to play!]]></content:encoded>

I had such a good time playing with Grandma Jean - she threw the ball for me every day for a REALLY LONG TIME - and she took me to new and exciting parks - and we even got to see all the doggies from the Guiding Eyes for the Blind at the park one day!  
I would jump on her bed every night and go right to sleep - and she would brush me every night.  She really really was loving me big time!  

Mom came and got me and I acted like "oh, okay, I guess I'll go home with you" - then I was bad when we picked up Trusty and Kyle from the kennel - I growled at them so much I got kicked out of the car!  So Aunt Babs brought them home and Mom stayed with me - and then Aunt Babs came back and got us!  Then when I got home - I also growled at Rems and Ollie - Remy looked at me like - "excuse me?" And Oliver Louis turned around and said "are you talking to me? Because if you are this is for you pal!" And jumped on my backside!  BOL!  Now I am loving being home!  Love you Mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love going on Mom's bed on Saturday mornings.  I love to snuggle with her.  I MUST be touching her somehow.  This morning I wanted more touching so I did what I always do, I stared at her.  Then I "grrrrrr'd"  and then I GRRRRR'D louder.  That did the trick!  Ahhhhhh.  Petting, snuggling, my brothers and Mom.  Doesn't get any better than that!  Oh - and I reserve my "grrrrrs" for Dad for the evening hours - mornings are all about Mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday Mom did something extraordinary for me!  We played fetch, with my glow-in-the-dark ball OUTSIDE before it got dark out!  And for quite a while!  I was in  ecstasy! ! 

Then after a half hour or so of this - I was actually allowed to walk around the house with MY BALL in my MOUTH!  And put it in my water bowl, food bowl, anywhere I WANTED!  Mom was busy installing a new handle on French doors - uh-oh - Mom lost a screw!  Had to go out and get another - but I STILL HAD THE BALL! YAY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Nana Karen and Grandpa Bill live in Ava, Mo.  They are the owners of my doggie mother and father, Katie and Rocky.  I love them.  I loved my time I spent on the farm with them.  And even though I live in NY I still get to talk to Nana Karen on the phone sometimes and she talks back to me!  
Today Mom told me to think really good thoughts and send mental good wishes to my Nana and Grandpa in Missori because Grandpa is in the hospital and had an operation.  He is better but not out of the woods yet.  
Mom was planning on sending my framed portrait to them for Christmas but decided to ship it out early.  And Nana said that it really lifted their spirits!  She told Mom I have (my mom) Katie's eyes, and (my dad) Rocky's head and body!  And that I am so handsome!  Of course I know that already!  BOL!  
So I hope that they have my portrait in Grandpa's hospital room - just looking at me could possibly make him feel better!  And I told Mom I am sending good thoughts to them - and - even better I am keeping all my paws crossed too!  Get well soon, Grandpa Bill!  I love you and Nana Karen LOTS!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom stayed home again with us today!  YAY!  And after I barked for her to come down and let me out of my crate - we all went outside and did our "thing" and right back in and up to bed with Mom!  It was rainy and windy - not too cold but yukky out.
Mom must feel better because she took a shower and did laundry and made the bed and (MAMA!) vacuumed!  Then she said those four words I HATE TO HEAR HER SAY "I'll be right back....." and with keys in hand off she went! 
Those are the worst! Because she is NEVER just RIGHT BACK!  And I know she is going places that I COULD GO TOO!  Like NANA's and Aunt Bab's and Trusty and Kylie's house!  And because of the poopy weather there were no walks, and (sigh) NO FETCH!
Tomorrow she is going to work - and she promised me a car ride!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom spanked my rather large butt today - all because of Oliver Louis!  He told me to follow him and I did - right out the front door - and wheeeee up the street!  What a gas!  Then Mom was yelling - and it sounded funny because she has a bad cold - and (yikes!) then I heard Dad call my name - so after a bit of a run around the block - I saw Mom in the front drive way holding her arms out to me - I went right to her!  Because she loves me!  I'm her Peep!  But when I got in the house - I don't think I was her Peep then - because she yelled at both of us and spanked both our hiners!  That hurt!  Yes! even though my butt is (as Dad says) Large and In Charge - it still smarted! Why I listen to that stupido Oliver Louis is beyond me!]]></content:encoded>

She came to visit this morning and I gave her my professional portrait - two of them side by side in a frame that Mom picked out for me.  And oh!  I was SOOOO Excited to show her the lovely present that Patchy and Spotster sent to me!  She really really loved it!  
I wish I could go and visit her - up in Massachusetts - but those two budgies probably would not like that because I would be looking in their cage at them all the time!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I looooovvveee socks.  I love to chew them, I love to walk with them in my mouth, I love them when they come out of the dryer and are still warm, I love them when they are just getting ready to go into the wash.  I L-O-V-E LOVE THEM!  I will gladly accept anyone's socks, but to me, the cream of the sock crop, are Dad's socks.  For the life of me, I just can't figure out why - but I will do anything to get my paws on them.  Last night, Dad took his socks off downstairs and gave them to me - to bring upstairs to Mom.  So off I went, right up to Mom.  Who said "thank you so much Peep!"  I had to give them to her.  But I've destroyed so many of Dad's socks that there are a few "strays" around - and sometimes Mom gives me one to have.  I got one tonight - and I was LOVING IT.  I wanted Mom to throw it for me - but she wouldn't.  Then I wanted to take it outside, but since it has been very rainy all day, Mom said no.  I got a little demanding after that - bringing the sock to her and barking the LOUD bark, and then she took it away from me!  
That was very unfair!  The sock did not go night-night in the dishwasher - it just went away.  I am going upstairs now to see if there are any tissues in the garbage.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday when Mom came home there was a box at the front door.  She brought it in with her and said "oh - this is the special present I ordered for Babs".  Always the curious one when it comes to presents - even if they aren't for me - I hung around to see what it could possibly be.  Imagine my DELIGHT when she opened the box and took out a (Gasp!) pack of TENNIS BALLS!  BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL TENNIS BALLS!  Not just ANY tennis balls - but WHITE TENNIS BALLS with PINK PONIES on them!  From Mr. Ralph Lauren - I think he is a friend of my mother's - she has a lot of clothes with his name on them.  Anyway - I didn't know Ralph had these BALLS!  She looked at me and said "don't even think of thinking about it, Peep!"  These are for Aunt Babs to play tennis with - Kylie is NOT GETTING NEAR THEM either"
Ha!  She says that now - but how will she know?  
I gave her the cutest look of pleading ever known to be given by a golden retriever - usually half the strength of what I was giving does the trick with Mom.  I tried to send her mental messages: "please -please - please give Dudley one of those balls - there will still be two for Aunt Babs - that's plenty - he's your baby angel dog - don't you think he deserves one" But nothing happened!  Poop!  
Then - last night - watching telly - what in the world do I see?  Two people hitting TENNIS BALLS BACK AND FORTH!  How could they?  Where are these people!  I tried to see if they were behind the telly - but no.  Mom said they are at the US Open.  Well, I'd like to know where this Open place is because I bet there are a lot of wasted TENNIS BALLS SITTING THERE!  And I just bet - NO one would miss a few of those if I could just get my paws on them!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I have done something that I am sort of proud of in a strange way.  It really isn't something I should be proud of - but like I said it was in a strange way.  
Monday morning Mom gave us all my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE cookie in the world.  Vienna Fingers!  Now, we normally don't get any treats in the morning - or any food - because we eat our dinner pretty late, and besides, when Mom comes home at lunch we usually get a cookie or two.  Sometimes she will give us a treat in the morning but she usually always makes sure we go back outside before she leaves for work.  This particular morning it was raining so none of us really wanted to go back outside.  She said she knew it was going to happen - and that she hoped she would get home before it did.  But she didn't.  When Mom came home later that morning - with Aunt Maddie - she smelled it from the moment she opened the door.  How could she not - it was wafting throughout the ENTIRE house - all three floors.  Why?  Because as Mom said - it was THE LARGEST POOP on record.  EVER!  She said it was BIGGER THAN OLIVER'S HINEY!  And I don't know if any of you know this - but he's got quite a bit of Junk in the Trunk!  BOL!  Dad calls him the buttslinger - because he gets on the bed and slings his butt in Dads face!  BOL!  Anyway - where was I?  Oh yes - my extremely GINORMOUS poop.  Mom said that she'd never EVER seen one that large, and she knew I mightn't be able to wait for her to get home and she even thanked me for going on the floor instead of her brand new rug!  Then she said something to Dad that evening about getting in touch with the Guiness Book of World Records.  What is that?  I must find Rem and see if he knows.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday afternoon - Mom left and went somewhere with Aunt Babs.  Very upsetting - because when we saw Aunt Babs outside I thought Trusty and Kylie were here with her - to play with me.  But she just beeped the horn and out Mom went.  Ollie was bad - he jumped on the couch and barked at people while Mom was away - but Mom knew because she saw the pillows all tossed around - ha ha.  
When she came home it was getting dark out and I was a bit upset because I didn't think we were going to have our usual play time with her throwing stuff for me to retrieve.  I was sad for a bit about that but when I realized she bought us special burger treats I was okay with it.  And Mom said that the weekend is here now - so much more time to play!  Those burgers were YUMMY!]]></content:encoded>

I could only carry three down with me - well actually I rolled one down and took two in my mouth.  I was having a Ball of a time (hee hee) playing with them in Nana's kitchen - and then Mom came and said "oh no!"  And the balls had to go nite-nite in the dishwasher.  Poop.  I didn't know the same rule of things going nite-nite in the dishwasher was is effect at Nana's - I need to ask Trusty about this.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today Kylie and Trustina came over to my house and we had a pool party!  It was fabu!  Kylie couldn't just jump in because he is the littlest - so Mom helped him and he really liked it!  Trusty came in for a bit - and Rem was in there too - splashing!  The only one who opted out was Oliver Louis - who was still sulking after being captured yesterday after an escape!  BOL!  And he is not liking Bogie's mother now - because he thinks she told on him - he was at the house right next door to the garage!  What did he expect?  That Dad wouldn't see him sitting there like a blob?  BOL!
He sat under a tree in the shade with his paws crossed - while the rest of us had a blast!  I kept jumping in and out and sticking my head under water!  And Rem was pawing at the water and splashing!  Then Mom got a ball and kept throwing it in the pool and I kept jumping in and getting it and bringing it back to her with Kylie chasing me!
It was a great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I don't what happened - but I had one of the things I really really HATE to have - Diarrhea.  It wouldn't have been so bad really - except I had an attack when Mom wasn't home and for the very first time since I've been allowed to stay out of my crate during the day - I had to go - bad.  I ran to go down in the basement (where most of my past accidents have taken place) but YIKES!  It was gated!  I was beside myself.  I wound up going upstairs in Mom's office/studio - on the brand new, unfinished wood floor - and I was very upset about it.  Not as upset as Mom when she saw it, but upset nonetheless. '
Then when she tried to clean it - she got more upset.  Finally she took out the little steam cleaner - and said that looked like it "did the trick".  Then she told me not to feel bad - I was still a Big Boy and even they have "accidents" sometimes.  Plus she said she thinks those grilled shitake mushrooms that we all had last night might've had something to do with it.  Sorry, Mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night I tried to fake that I was sleeping really deeply so there was no waking me up to go into my crate for night-night.  I simply lay there with my eyes closed and did not move when Mom said "Peep, time for bed".  I was really good at it too, until she said "Dudley, baby, let's go" I couldn't help it - my tail starting wagging!  Like it had a mind of it's own.  But that was the ONLY part of me that moved.  So I kept my eyes closed.  And Mom kept talking - "Come on, handsomest. Time for Night-night......." She went over and stood near the crate and kept talking - and darn that tail!  I tried to will it to stop!  But it just kept wagging!  Then she came over and looked at me - so I opened one eye - and really starting wagging full speed - I was still NOT MOVING - except for my tail! BOL - because I think if I am a big enough boy to stay out of my crate the whole day - why do I have to do sleepys in it at night?  I can be good at night!  Come on, Mommie!  Let me sleep upstairs with everyone soon!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommie bought home lots of stuff from the farmers market today.  But she also went to the food store and brought home these new really special LARGE sized bones for us!  They were good - and I took my time, I thought, with it.  But I guess I didn't eat it slow enough because I went into the hallway and threw most of it up.  Then I started walking around, I would sit for a moment, then pace, so when Mom noticed this she asked me if I wanted to go outside.  Yes!  And a little more throwing up and a little wee-wee, and I feel much better now.  I also feel better now that Mom discovered big massive mound of throw up in hallway and has cleaned it up and I don't think is mad at me for it anymore.  Who knew?  Normally I can eat anything and everything without a problem.  Mom says she doesn't think she will get those bones anymore - we'll just stick with what we know we like.  Good Idea Mom!  Now, when are you re-filling my pool?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight I discovered a new way to have fun with my pool - even though it's empty.  When we were playing fetch - one of my ABSOLUTE FAV things EVER! with a bone - Mom was throwing it in the empty pool - so I would go - jump in and grab it and jump out the other side!  Almost like an agility move!   But because it is SOOOOO HOT - I got tired after like four times, so we didn't play for long.  Then there was a commotion in the kitchen - apparently Oliver Louis stole a piece of Dad's cheese!  What a goof ball!]]></content:encoded>

Then when she came home from work - we all lounged together! 
Tonight I went under the sprinker because our pool is empty - Mom says tomorrow she will fill it with fresh water and we can all sit in it! YAY! 
It's so hot out that Oliver Louis has cancelled all of his concerts for the rest of the week!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

Not all of us went in - just me and Rem and Mom - Ollie got so excited by the whole thing that he pooped (outside of the pool of course!).  I swished back and forth and Rem was laughing at me because I kept trying to eat the bubbles that I made in the water when I splashed.  Then when we got out  - I chased Rem and he chased me - because our legs were wet! It was lots of Fun!  Can't wait for this afternoon - Oliver Louis says Trusty and Kylie are coming to swim!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love to go with my mother in the car.  Usually we go to more than one place and while some can be boring - there's always at least one stop that's exciting for me.  Tonight we went to the bank - where I sat in the air conditioned car and waited for her watching her the entire time.  Whenever she get out of the car and I have to wait for her - she always says "I'll be right back Peep".  Tonight right after she did that a woman who was in her car across the street said to Mom - "did you tell him you'd be right back?" and Mom said "of course!"  Then when she came out she said to the woman in the car "that's my baby" and the woman said "I know how you feel - I have two at home"  Of course Mom has her beat - and she told her - "I have two more at home myself!"  then off we went to the liquor store - where I do not have to wait in the car.  I get to go inside and put my front paws on the counter and say hello to Pat, the owner, and watch him play my mom's lottery numbers for her - if she wins we're talking LOTS OF BONES AND TOYS!!!!!!!!!!
Then we capped it off with a stop at Nana and Aunt Bab's house - where my cousins Trustina and Kylie were very happy to see me.  Then back home and what do I see in the backyard?  A big box with my NEW SWIMMING POOL inside it!  Dad is going to inflate it tomorrow for us! YAY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ To my Baby Dudley - You are without a doubt the big ball of sunshine in my life.  Always happy - always looking at me with such love in your eyes.  I can't imagine being without you.  It's always been about the way you look at me. The way you looked at me - the very first time - in the doorway of that Transpet Truck - as if to say - "Mommie! I'm here!" 
The way you look at me every day - as soon as you see me - as if to say - " YAY!  Mom!! I love you so much!" with such devotion in your eyes.
The way you look at me when you know that we're going in the car somewhere together.
The way you look at me when something new like a piece of furniture comes into the house - as if to say - "what is it? should I be afraid of it?" and then proceed to bark at it furiously for at least an hour.  
The way you look at me after you've done something you know you shouldn't have done - ie; open and "review" garbage, stealing pillows and chewing them, digging somewhere you shouldn't have....oh this list goes on!
I am so glad I listened to my heart instead of my head way back when I balked at getting you - who knew you'd fill my heart with so much love it overflows?  You are my optimism, my joy for life and all that it has to offer.  You made it obvious you are there by my side, no matter what from the very beginning - I am totally devoted to you, and hopelessly in love with you, my "baby" Peep forever and ever, Love Mommie]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today Mom finally took me to Farmer's Market for the first time this year!  I was wondering when I would get to go.  I love the Market.  I love to see all the people and especially the little children!  They are on my level and great for kissing!  I met this little baby boy - he really loved me - especially when I gave him a big wet kiss!  And the lady from the library couldn't stop telling me how very handsome I am!  Of course, we got some tomatoes and beans and squash and blueberries and home made salsa.  And on the way out we stopped at the plant stand and got a cherry tomato plant for the garden - like we don't have enough tomato plants already!  The girl at the plant booth said it was okay for me to be around the plants as long as I didn't pee on them - Both Mom and I snapped our heads up and laughed at her! l Mom assured her that I do not have bad manners like that!  Neither does Remy or Oliver Louis - we would never!  Of couse that didn't stop me from almost sitting on one of her plants - BOL!  She liked me too after that.  She was a bit high in her prices though - but the older people who used to be there with the plants have retired so what can you do?  
Then we went to Nana's to give her and Aunt Babs some green beans and tomatoes - and corn! I forgot that we got corn!  And I got to hang out with Kylie and Trusty for a while - then where did we go?  Oh yes, Mom needed a caffeine blast so we went to Dunkin Donuts and then we both went into the Liquor store to play our lottery numbers - and I put my two front paws on the counter and said hello to Pat the owner - and he petted my head and said hello to me.  Then back home to my brothers.  All in all a very nice Saturday for me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Of me!  Wednesday when Mommy went out she left me out of my crate - and I was a perfect angel!  And then yesterday, Dad put me in my crate before he left for work - but he didn't lock the door - and I got to stay out the whole day!  And Mom didn't come home at lunch because she was so busy - but it was okay - because we ALL behaved ourselves!  Wait until Mom tells Nana Karen - she will be so proud of me that I am acting like a big boy now!  
Of course, I still sleep in my crate - because Dad said there is not enough room for five of us - three dogs and two humans - on the bed at night - but Mom thinks there is.  I didn't really want to go in there last night either - it's like "why should I?  I proved I can be good during the day - let me prove it at night too!"  BOL!  Mom just needs to work on Dad a bit - that's all!]]></content:encoded>

Particularly Dad's socks - because they are so thick and nice for chewing.....I usually get asked to please "leave it!" when I get caught walking around with them in my mouth - but Mom usually laughs first because she says I look so funny with them.  This morning I was walking around with a pair of Dad's socks and an un-stuffed hedgehog in my mouth!  To me that is just total Bliss!  That and the lovely eggy sandwich we had for breakfast!  Fabu!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today Mom went out shopping with Nana and Aunt Babs and Aunt Marianne - someplace called Woodbury Commons - where dogs can go - but it was really way too hot for dogs today and besides then there was the big discussion on who would stay outside with said dog while others went in and out of stores.  There was a brief thought that if Dad could be dragged into it that perhaps he would stay outside with said dog - but the last time Dad went there with Mom was over five years ago - and he is still wearing the jeans he purchased then.  So we had to stay home.  Mom did meet some lovely dogs that she told us all about: a fabu golden named Bella, and the cutest sweetest little Yorkie named Dolce! Rem and I were quite interested to hear about this, however, Oliver Louis started barking while Mom was talking because he didn't want to hear it so he was saying "LaLaLALALALALALALA I can't hear you and I don't care about other dogs - I care about MEEEE - LALALALALALA!" Very rude of him! 
So afterwards, Mom took me over to Nana's for dinner - and to pick up all the loot she got while shopping.  Those budgies were there.  I saw them, and they saw me.  They looked at me and I looked at them - and then ! They started chirping at me!  I wanted to get closer - but Aunt Babs kicked me out and closed the door.  I just wanted to look at them!  That Lena has quite a mouth on her!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ meant (!) Digging!  One of the things I do BEST in this world and L-O-V-E to do!  Today Mom said "okay Peep, we simply cannot put it off any longer - must start doing the garden"  I looked at her like "Alright! Yay!" when truth be told I had no idea what she was talking about.  Let's face it last year at this time I was only about eight months old - and everything was new to me - and I don't think she let me stay out there with her when she did any of this last year - and NO WAY she dug with a shovel in front of me - because I am sure I would've remembered that.  I remember all the holes I dug last year and no one planted anything in them - just filled them back up with dirt!  When she started digging with a shovel in the backyard I almost wet myself!  How exciting!  So I watched her for a few minutes and then thought - "why not give her a helping paw?"  So slowly I started - then stopped and looked at her to see if she was going to say anything like No! - she didn't!  So I did it again - and stopped and looked up at her - and she said "oh you're helping me - what a good boy!"  So off I went - digging away!  It was Fabu!  And she told me we're no where near done yet!  YAY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Nana Karen e-mailed Mom - and told her that four of my new puppy brothers and sisters escaped and were lost on the farm this past weekend.  Nana managed to find two - but it was getting dark and the other two were no where to be found.  My canine mom, Katie took off somewhere.  So Nana went back to the house and called it a night but was very very worried.  Then the next morning she went out of the four wheeler to look - and here comes my mom out of the woods with the two little baby puppies following her!  She must've went and found them and stayed with them for the night - and and waited for Nana to come looking for them - what a mother!  What a Nana!  Whew!  Nana Karen told mom she was worried sick!  Just like Mom was when we all took off last week! I know now that is not a good thing to do to your mother!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How could I have been soooo stupido?  Yes, it was a great adventure.  And I got to do lots of things that I normally would never do - but when I saw Dad get out of that van - and say "Dudley come here now!"  I got very scared!  He has never talked to me like that.  And that boobhead Ollie!  He just lowers his head and walks silently to the van and gets in like it was all MY FAULT!  Dad finally had to come and make me get in the van - and then because I weigh so much he couldn't get me on the seat so I was down at his feet sort of near the gas pedal and half on his lap.  Then when we got home he had to get me to get out of that van because (*!) Aunt Babs and Nana were there and Aunt Babs was yelling at me!  I have never been so happy to run into my crate in my entire life!  
When Mommie got home she didn't say anything to me!  That was worse than anything that had happened up to then.  And when she put me in the bathtub she was not kidding around!  And she kept crying and telling me how could I be so bad, I am not the bad one, she expects this type of behaviour from Oliver Louis but not from me, and how could I let Rem get separated from us!  That was probably the worst feeling I have ever had in my life.  She loves me again now though.  But Oliver Louis is still on the Bad List  - in Capital Letters!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday Mom took me to the park - finally!  I was really getting used to the everynight park thing - and then it got too hot so we didn't go for a few days.

So - here's what I discovered yesterday - met a new pal, by the name of Skippy - looks like a beagle mix - he was a happy fellow - and his Dad let's him go swimming in the Hudson river!  MAMA MIA!  Speaking of swimming - I actually got myself into the lake a bit when we were there - I would've swam in it if Mom didn't say "Out Peep!" - poop!  Then I saw some little kids with their mom playing with a (gulp!) LARGE BALL!  I went crazy!  Then a kid who played ball with me came over and let me hold on to his tennis ball for a little while - I ran to show the little kids what I had!  And we played and they liked it!  
Then I met a yellow lab - didn't catch his name - but he was very excited and happy to see me!  And he just KEPT KISSING ME LIKE CRAZY!  Apparently he has two doggie brothers at home just like me - but he has to go for walks separately - because just like us - they are too much to handle all at once!
It was great!  I feel bad for Mommie though - because her allergies are really bad now - and she thinks it could've been our trip to the park that made her eyes all puffy and swollen and itchy - get better fast Mom!  We have to go back!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I heard Mommie on the phone with Nana today saying something about a "pool for dogs" - well, where is it?  I want it NOW!  I want to go in the water badly!  The other night at the park I tried to pull Mom into the lake - but she said NO! Why not?  No one would see!  Who cares about those silly ducks - they'd get out of the way!  If she's not going to let me go into the lake then she had better jolly well get going - get on the BALL! (BOL!) and get that pool!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This evening my mom and I got into the car and took off to do some errands.  We drove down our street and then Mom turned onto a street across from MY FAVORITE PLACE!  The park.  And she stopped and rolled down my window - I was like - "what? why is she doing that?" and then I heard her say "well hello to you!"  And what do you know!  Two goldens were walking with their mom and dad, obviously coming back from the park.  They came over and almost jumped on the car - and we looked at eachother - and then I growled because I didn't think there was really room for anyone else in the car with me and mom.  We did have lots of stuff in there - and then everyone laughed and mom said "maybe we'll see you at the park!" and we drove off - I felt bad afterwards for growling - but it looked like one of them really wanted to get in the car with me! There was a case of bottled water back there and the comforter that we were taking in to be cleaned - so really no room!  I hope I see those guys at the park soon!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our Mommie doesn't feel well - it is a bad allergy attack.  I guess that means no park tonight.  Poop.  I was really getting into the groove with it every night.  Last night she brought my big ball and some treats and we did some sitting, some downs, and a very small amount of stays.  I can't help it - just cannot get into the whole "stay" thing!  
When we were leaving there was a group of boys - a whole bunch of them playing with a (be still my heart) BALL!  I watched them and everytime one of them hit it with the bat out into the field I stopped and watched - I really really wanted to go get it - could've done a much better job than those outfielders!  BOL!  But she said "No! Peep!"  So on we walked - past two girls sitting down watching the ball-playing boys - so naturally I had to give them some Milk Dud Kisses - they were loving me!  I hope Mom feels better soon - I love our times at the park!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday Mom took me to Petsmart - we needed food and we had to get treats for everyone to have this evening while His Royal Hiney-ness, Mr. Oliver Louis held court in the living room during American Idol.  He is such a DRAMA QUEEN!  
 I had a lovely conversation with a pug - and then a fabu time with another golden by the name of Jack Daniels - six months old and very handsome -

I saw something for the first time in my life that I never ever knew existed!  
As we were getting ready to leave - I saw them - I stopped in my tracks - I had never seen something like this before - and there were two of them! 
These two little doggies - both were - gasp! hair-less - except for - are you ready for this?  The bottoms of their legs and the tops of their heads!  Holy Macarena!  I've never seen anything like it before! I walked over to them and they were allover me!  And I don't really think that their mother appreciated it - neither did Mommie - she said "come on, Peep - let's go to the park now" and we did - but I can't get the image of those two out of my head!  I thought Frenchies were what made me speechless - the first time I saw one of them - and now I love them sooooo - but this, I don't know about this.]]></content:encoded>

Well, I met a lovely little girl Wheaton named ZiZi.  She acted all coy at first - but then she started to play with me!  And we had as much fun as we could on leashes.  Her mom says she takes her every morning and every evening so there's a good chance we'll run into her again!  Yay!

This has ended his racing career - the poor horsie!  All he wanted to do was run, and he couldn't.  It was very sad - his jockey was very smart to pull him out as soon as he realized he was hurt - and he was crying.  Everyone was very upset.  Even the horse who won, Bernadini, his jockey was upset!  These are the most important parts and fragile parts on a horse - his legs.  I am keeping my paws crossed that he will be okay after surgery - even if he cannot race anymore.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just got a paw mail from Addy telling me that she liked my name.  I pawed one back and told her my full name:  Margie's Golden Dudley DooRight
And yes, I explained that the Doo is spelled that way because even as a baby puppina I pooped them large and in charge!  BOL!  At least that's what Mom says.  
My doggie parents have such lovely names:  Katie - or Lawson's Lonesome Dove Kate, and Rocky - Colonol Lawson's Rocket - Really classy - and here I get this Dudley DooRight moniker!  But, as I told Addy in my paw mail - if it makes my mom happy - then it makes me happy!  

I wonder if Nana Karen (who is, by the way, Colonol Lawson!) knows about this?  I must find out - I;m pretty sure she does.  I know my brother Toby lives in New Hampshire with Nana Karen's brother - Uncle Bobby - and my sister Sophie lives in Red Hook, NY with Debbie.  I am supposed to go and visit my sister Sophie soon to play - I need to find out about that too!  Hey Mom....................]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I came up with a great way to get Mommy to come home at lunch every day! And it is working!  First, I do the usual cute-ness routine in the morning, the kissing, the stretching, the hugs.  Then I follow her around as she gets ready for work.  Then I am unusually courteous to Oliver Louis - even going so far as to give him kisses (which to be honest, I do not mind - because I LOVE everyone in the morning - and most of the time - when they do not steal my toys!).  By the time she is ready to leave and I know it - I run to my crate and sit in it.  And refuse to budge.  So she sighs and says "you want to stay in your crate, Peep?  You can't stay in here all day.  You can stay in here for the morning but I'll come home at lunchtime and then you have to go into the kitchen and hang"
HA!  
I know she likes this arrangement - because after Ollie's Poop Festival in the Living Room she likes to use the gates to keep him out of there and she wouldn't be able to do this if she had to use them for me in the kitchen.  So I am actually helping her out here!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Rem told me that this Sunday is Mother's Day and that I should put paw to paper and write a few things about Mommie.

I love you, Mommie - 
You were there when I came off the Big Truck and Right away I knew it was you!  My mother!
You clean my paws when it's raining or snowing out as soon as I come in the house with a big fluffy towel.
You rescue my toys and bones from that BAD Oliver Louis.
You give me Doggie Massage.
You talk to me when I talk to you.
You sing Goodnight to me at night and tell me how much you love me!
You sing Good Morning to me every morning and give me hugs and kisses before I go out.
You fill my Kong with peanut butter - and really stuff it in there! 
You take me to the park.
You give me special treats - like those Vienna Fingers we had this morning - delish! 
You always make sure my crate is nice and cozy with a clean bed or mat - even though I always wind up chewing them up!  
You kmow when I just want my paw held.
You know when I come and sit near you that I just need to be petted for a while and then I'll go and lay down and behave.  
You take me to Petsmart and let me pick out anything I want.
You give me tons of kisses and love - and I LOVE YOU MOMMIE!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ollie stole my Kong yesterday before I was finished with it - so this morning I humped him - and he tried to use some stupido voice with an English accent and say "I beg youurrrrr Parrrr-doooonn" And I said - "I don't! You took my Kong before I was done with it and I am letting you know I am mad at you!  I am bigger and stronger that you stop being a poop head to me!"  And he nipped me!  If Mommie saw that he'd have gotten in to be trouble - I am not saying anything - he will get himself into trouble - but I want the world to know - OLIVER LOUIS IS A POOP-HEAD!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I have gotten myself into trouble once again.  And I blame it totally on the stupido Oliver Louis.  I had a plastic chewy bone - and I was going to Mom and tempting her with it,  when she wouldn't take the bait, I put it down in front of her and voiced my opinion on her lack of willingness to play with me, the Baby.  And when she did not respond, I upped the volume.  Worked like a charm.  She threw and I retrived.  This went on happily for quite some time until Ollie came out of the bedroom and started in on me.  We started rough-housing and the next thing you know, a table turned over and a lamp broke.  YIKES!  It was all Oliver's fault!  And where is he?  Upstairs still.  Probably on his chair.  Laughing.  And where am I?  In my crate with this stupid baby teething bone that started all the trouble in the first place.  I am a retriever!  And he ruined my retreiving and got me in trouble!  I will not forget this.]]></content:encoded>

Anyway - we got up - we went out - we did our thing - and when we came back in Mom gave us each a big fat JUMBONE!  Now, this happens to be one of my very favourtie treats! Thanks Mom!  I wonder if she has any more?  That's the thing with me and these jumbones - after I have one - I am always always always wanting another!  I can't seem to eat just one!  Maybe she'll take me to Petsmart today and we can pick up some more?  I hope so!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My uncle Trusty taught me a very neat trick last week and I finally had a chance to try it at home.  And, by golly, it worked!  I waited until there was something I wanted (in the way of food, of course) on the counter.  Then I very quietly slidled up to the counter - checked left, checked right and checked behind me......and pounced!  I quickly switched out my rawhide bone leaving it on the counter and grabbed whatever it was that was wrapped in tinfoil and smelling soooooo good. 
And when I got it into the living room I was happily surprised by two things!  First of all it was wrapped with the non-sticky foil - how thoughful of Mommie!  And, the best surprise?  It was a leftover eggy and cheese sandwich on toasty!  Mmmmmm - Mmmmmm Good!  I have to tell Trustina thanks the next time I see him!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I went over to Nana's house yesterday - and what do I see?  On her dining room table is a big bird cage with two budgies - starring out at me!  I got very excited - and wanted to jump on the table - and then I was asked by my Aunt Marianne to please behave myself - and I was introduced to Mr. Stretch Tweeterson - a blue budgie, and his sister, Miss Lena VanderBeek, a lovely green budgie - with a bit of an attitude.  Then Trusty barked at them!  And they just looked at him as if to say "yeah? So what? That's all you got?" Naturally this made me want to jump on the table again - but then I was asked to leave.  So Mom took me to Petsmart - where I weighed in at 93.8 pounds, got some new dog cookies - and some retriever rolls.  Then after a quick stop at the food store - we were back home - where I could jump on top of Ollie and Rem all I wanted.  So, I like to look at them - but I don't think we need any more budgies in the family.  Now I am exhausted!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am mad at that stupid Oliver Louis today.  First of all - he keeps telling the same stupid Irish joke over and over again - "what sits out on the deck and is Irish?"  And his answer is "Moosey O'Furniture!" like I don't know he means me!  And what's even worse is every chance he gets - he takes whatever bone I happen to be fond of at the moment!  It doesn't matter that we all get a bone at the same time!  He hides his - and then waits until I drop mine for  a moment - and then he goes for it!  Or, he waits till Mommy comes home from work - and knows I'll be so happy to see her that I won't be watching my bones - so when she ungates the kitchen gate - I'm going to greet her and he's sneaking in for my BONES!  He is upstairs right now - singing Irish songs!  And he's been talking to me like I am Irish all morning!  I told him - Golden Retretivers are from Scotland - Not Ireland - but he refuses to listen - he is a boob!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom took me to Petsmart yesterday with Aunt Babs - we went to pick Trusty and Kylie up from groomer's.  At first I got very nervous - because I thought that I was getting groomed - uh-uh!  So I refused to go in the grooming place door.  I sat down and planted my butt on the ground and looked at Mommie like "no way, jose".  Apparently everyone who was on line thought this was very funny.  So after I won that battle she took me over to the scale to weigh me - and I weigh 94 pounds now!  Wow!  Then Nana Karen e-mails Mom today and tells her that my brother Toby weighs 97!  Yikes!  We were two peas in a pod my brother Toby and me - when we were on the farm! And I guess we're both big boys!  Love you Toby!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I did not believe it!  It was March 2 and what happened?  It snowed!  Lots and Lots and Lots!  What fun we had in the snow!  Mom came home early!  We had some fun outside and she even came outside and played with us and we danced around in the flakes!  Then she shoveled and we all went in a got cozy.  Then yesterday we went to Nana's to see Trusty and Kylie for a bit.  Now today, we are home with dad - and she promised she'd be back with some new toys for boys later!  
We were supposed to start our Spring planting today - I wonder if we will still do that?   There is still lots of snow out there!  Maybe we will do it inside in little pots?  

I just can't wait for her to come back with those toys right now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it really got interesting around here this week.  First Oliver Louis couldn't locate one of his "sing in the mirror" cds - every other day practically he is in Mom and Dad's room - on top of their bed - blasting music and singing and dancing in front of the mirror - to certain cds.  He calls these "concerts", but Rem told me that they are not really concerts - especially if he forces us to go!  I can't go all the time because I am still gated in the kitchen most days - but I tell you he does put on a heck of a show - anyway - Rem took one of his cds and hid it on him - WHOA!  He was mad!  And now I see why Rem did it - Ollie was getting just a little too full of himself - acting like a big celebrity!  BOL!  But I tell you - with him here - never a dull moment!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday we were all watching Martha Stewart with Mommie.  Apparently it was a BYOB show - and I did not know what that meant until Rem explained - "bring your own Bulldog" - I watched almost the whole show - because I love that little Francesca doggie of Martha's and I love that Paw-Paw too.  But that face on that Francesca - I just want to kiss her.  Well, the whole audience had bulldogs!  There was one who said "I love you" there was one who skateboarded!  There was one who was the subject of all these books, named Zelda.  And at the end the most exciting thing happened!  Paw-Paw and Francesca got a new baby sister Frenchie, named Classy!  She was very cute.  Rem even said so.  I saw some Frenchies in Petsmart with Mommie once - the ears on them!  I barked and barked and they just looked at me and laughed.  I would love to kiss them.  Maybe we can get one?  Maybe even if we don't they will have Golden Day on Martha and then me and Mom can go..............]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For a mother who is not feeling well that Mommie is really moving and grooving with the vacuum cleaner!  She even moved my crate!  And she is on the floor!  Cleaning the floor!  Of course I think she is beautiful no matter what - but shouldn't someone tell her that her pajama top and bottoms do not match?  And that her hair is sticking up on her head?  I'll see what Rem says about this......I love you, Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

I like the part where she stays home and we stay on the bed with her all day - but I don't like that she moans and can't go to the park with me and doesn't feel like laughing.  Please get well soon Mommie! I love you~!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love to put things in my mouth - anything and everything - especially Mom's shirts and for chew-a-bility you can't beat Dad's socks.  But on Tuesday I took it a little too far.  I love to go into the bathtub.  I love those plastic thing-ys that Dad uses to shave with, so I took one out of the tub with me.  Mom said "thank you!" which really means "drop it, please!" but I didn't feel like it - and then when she tried to reach and get it from me, Ollie put his LARGE BUTT inbetween us - and then she got it - but I felt something funny in my mouth - tasted like I don't know what - so I licked my chops and the more I licked - the more I tasted.  Then Rem looked at me and screamed.  That sort of scared me - then Mom said "Oh, Peep!" and the next thing I knew we were in the car going for a ride!  I thought we were going to Nana's but we wound up at that place - that place I do not care for too much but can never remember why - anyway - the taste was out of my mouth by then.  We walked in and I immediately went around to the office and said hello to the ladies in there.  I put my head on that one gal's lap - and we had some nice kisses - then I got on the scale and sat down.  Then we went back to the waiting room where a schnauzer was sitting.  But her mom said she wasn't feeling well so could I please stay away - no big deal, I understand.  Then - what a surprise! Mike the trainer came out to see me!  He told me how big and handsome I was and then he wanted me to go into a room with him and Mom - I started to remember that this was the part I did not like - but it seemed okay - so I went.  I showed Mike my sit and down commands that he taught me and I know really really well.  Then that Dr. Swanson came in and AHA!  Now I remembered why I don't like coming here!  He kept trying to stick his hands in my mouth.  Much talking, much petting, blah, blah, blah, and a small shot and I was done.  Not too bad.  Then a small doggie in the waiting room was barking at me so I spoke to him for a while - really telling me he was scared out of his little hiney - I told him - "don't worry - it's not that bad!"  And out we went.  Home and a nice dinner - and Ollie was even sort of nice to me - if you can call bumping me with his hiney nice, then a treat and bedtime.  Quite an advertureous afternoon and evening and to think it was all because of that plastic thing-y I put in my mouth!  I guess I'll stick with kleenex!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yay!  It snowed last night!  So this morning when all three of us went outside - we all played together!! Even Oliver Louis was in the mood for a little running and chasing!  And he even gave me so kisses!  I love playing in the snow - especially with Remy - because he really knows how to play good - he stops - puts his butt in the air - looks at you and says "well, are you dog enough to catch me boy? C'mon, are ya?" And away we go!  Then we come inside and Momnie is right there with a big fluffy towel to dry us off!  And then this morning we all had some nice toasty with butter on it!  Mmmmm, delish! Nice way to start a Sunday - but I'm ready for a little bit of a nap now.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This Ollie - he drives me cuckoo!  First he waits until I play with a toy - then he attacks me - I go to give it back to him - he steals my toy - and runs away with it - I have to bark to alert Mom.  She comes over, he is sitting there with the look of an church goer or an angel on his face, like "who, me? I have noooooo idea how this toy wound up next to me!" So Mom gives me my toy - I walk away - and then it starts all over again!  

Tonight he is singing stupid songs - first to Rem, then to me!  What is up with him!  He is very very bad!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Please, please, please, please Mommie! Play ball with me the way I WANT to play it!  I want to hold it in my mouth, tempt you with it - let you think you maybe might get it - and then put it in one of those places you say are the "bad places for a ball and/or my nose and mouth to be"  like under that computer thing-y in the studio/office, or under your feet, or chair or near Ollie!  
Ollie has played with me twice!  What is going on with him?  He even did some leg play but got mad at me when I tried to hump him!  I can't help it - I just want him to know that I AM THE ALPHA DOG here!  I may try to be a lap dog with Mom and Dad - but I am no lap dog with him!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love my mother so much.  The other day, December 30, I think it was Friday, she told me that it was exactly a year ago that I came to her on the big Tranpet Truck from Nana Karen - and we had special treats and celebrated.  And Daddy let me go and stay and hang with him in his garage.  That was so much fun!  
And Christmas day was fun too - but I was not too well-behaved!  Grandma Jean and Grandpa Bill came over for dinner - and I just was a bit too ball-crazy for company at that time.  Grandma Jean told Mommie she needed to watch some show called the "Dog Whisperer"  and Mommie said I already had a trainer and that she knew what to do but that Daddy was not too much help in that department. 
And Oliver got himself into big trouble and tried to blame it on me - but that didn't work and now he has a boo-boo!  
And last night was New Year's eve - we had pigs in a blanket that Mom made homemade and treats for dogs and she made Daddy a special sandwich and then everyone went to bed early and had a nice sleep!  Last night I had a dream that me and Mommie went to Nana Karen's farm!  And that we surprised her!  And my mother Katie and my dad Rocky and Aunt Gwenny and everyone else was there - it was a great dream to have to end the year!  

Today we are taking down the tree and Mommie said if I behave she will take me to Petsmart - and she told me that I am getting to be such a big nice boy!  I love my mother!]]></content:encoded>

Not with all the people in the green jackets and dogs all over and fur flying!  The lady who is in charge of me is nice - but she is NOT MY MOTHER!  I tried to get away but everyone just laughed at me.  I guess I will calm down a bit - Thank goodness Remy is with me.  I keep telling him I want Mommie!  He told me to behave and said something about the Santa person - who is this Santa?  Where is this Santa?  I am afraid of those big hose things - Rem said they are just bigger versions of Mommie's hair dryer at home - but they look like monsters.  MOMMIE!]]></content:encoded>

I got into trouble tonight - I don't know how bad yet - I chewed the skirt on the new couch - and Mom was really really mad - but she didn't yell - she whispered because Dad was in the kitchen and she didn't want him to hear - I have a feeling I am going to get it for this later - I couldn't help it - my ball was right near it!  Well maybe a good night's sleep will make it not so bad in the morning - because there will be LOTS of SNOW BY THEN!]]></content:encoded>

So we get home and she lets me go outside with one - why just one?  I wanted two!  Then I went into the garage and hung out with Daddy for a while, of course with my ball - then we came in and Ollie was trying to take my BALL!  HE WAS TRYING TO TAKE IT! Then I went a little too ball crazy and Mom got a little mad when I dropped both balls into a shopping bag that had Christmas decorations in it - no, wait - that didn't make her mad - it was when I dropped them into the big plant and started pawing at the dirt and barking - to make it interesting before I brought them over and pushed them under the couch and coffee table - that's when she told me to go into my crate - that kooky Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, Mom took me one of my favorite places - Petsmart.  Because I took Ollie's collar off outside and threw it around and chewed it and it got lost - we had to go and get him a new one.  And a new tag.  I love Petsmart.  I love standing in the front of the store waiting for people to come in and doing the meeting and greeting.  I love how they talk to me.  They pet me and they tell me how handsome I am!  And how soft my fur is.  I especially love all children.  I just LOVE the whole Petsmart thing, except that door with the hair cutting people - that part I could live without.  And I love all the doggies I meet - both big and small.  
Last night when I walked in there was a Pekingnese in a cart who was barking at me.  I walked up to her to give her a hello sniff and she had the nerve to start growling at me - so I said "so long, sister, I do not need this".  She was one of those high maintenance types - and what do you know - as soon as I left she starts barking "come back, I didn't mean it - let's talk" blah blah blah - I could hear her all over the store.  Mommie and me were laughing about it.
So we picked out a black and white polka dot collar for Ollie, and then what do I see?  The most beautiful girl in the world!  A white german shepard puppy by the name of Vyla.  We butt-sniffed, we wagged, we played and she KISSED ME!  Much better than getting kissed by your brothers or cousins.  So, to take a cue from my brother, Mr. Suave Oliver Louis, to you Vyla I sing this:

When will I see you again..............
When will our tails wag together???????
Are we in love
Or just friends?  
Is this like a Jumbone 
or simply pretend? 
When will I see you again!  
Sweet sweet dog, when will I see you again!  

I am hoping Mommie takes me back soon - we had so much fun!  Even when that silly Vizsla came jumping down the aisle at us at acted all excited at first and then snapped at both of us - we just laughed and laughed, Vyla and me and then when back to kissing eachother!  I think that she is the cutest!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had at the park today, just Mommie and me!  It's getting dark earlier so we didn't stay as long as we normally do but Mommie wore her running shoes and sweats and we got to RUN on the TRACK together!  It was so exciting!  I was running and waiting for the leash to come to a stop and it never did!  So I was like What's up?  And I turned around and there was Mommie running with me!  So I waited and we ran together! I was so happy and excited that when we came home I ran upstairs and pooped!  (Big, as usual!) Sorry Mommie - I love you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight was really fun!  I  was Santa Claus, and Ollie was the Devil (Mommie says sometimes he is as bad as the devil) and I almost freaked out when I saw Rem's costume!  He had a Pumpkin Head!  But it really really really looked like one of my balls!  So I couldn't help myself.  As soon as Mommie turned her back for one minute I took it and ran.  And I got scolded for that.  But then Mommie to me to Nana's and Aunt Barbie's in my Santa suit (who is Santa again?) and I got to see Kylie and Trusty.  And Aunt Barb cleaned my ears and gave me a sugar cookie! That was great!  I am tired now though - ready to go night night soon! On a scale of one to ten tail wags I give this day a ten!  *meaning the best!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, somebody who shall remain nameless did a large smelly poop in the living room yesterday while Mommie was at work and Daddy was off fishing.  It's times like these that I am glad to be gated in the (big) kitchen when Mommie is not home.  And the "nameless" person who did this stinky, stinky poop did it near my crate!  Now, was this to make it look like it was something I broke out of the kitchen and did?  I don't know - but I will say this:  You know who you are, and you know I saw you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I cannot believe it!  I looked up yesterday at the tv while I was enjoying a nice busy bone that Mommie bought me - and what do I see?  Two people using MY TENNIS BALLS on a court of some type!  What is going on?  Usually Mommie takes the ball away and puts it way up high so that I don't go really cuckoo - but I think these people running and hitting it back and forth and grunting came and took them!  I have to look into this!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Saturday I learned a very important lesson.  About Dad's pants and the green stuff in his pockets.  It doesn't taste good and you get in trouble if you eat it.  Who knew?  No wonder that boobhead Ollie was laughing, he must've known.
Here's what happened:  I was on the big bed with Mommie, and I think Rem was there too.  Dad was in the shower, and his pants were on the floor.  Mom was watching the cooking show - and she closed her eyes, Rem went off somewhere and I wanted to chew on something.  At first I looked for a bone, but Ollie had hidden all of them.  So I checked out Dad's side of the bed and found his hat - good for chewing - chewed that for a bit - and then it was just not appealing anymore - so I went for those blue things - his pants.  Got them on the bed - and something was jiggling - like a toy - wanted to see what it was and all these green pieces of paper came out - so I chomped on one for a bit with a two and an "o" on it - then I started on one that tasted better - that had a one and two "o"s on it.  Mommie woke up and all paws broke loose!  She jumped up and said "Peep!  What did you do?" and took the green thing with the one and two "o"s from my mouth - I had only eaten like half of it!  She hid that one and called Dad - he came out and was mad - and started shaking his head.  They wrote out a deposit slip and then Dad asked her where his hat was.  She said "gone" He said "what do you mean, gone"  She looked at me.  He looked at me and then looked at her.  He said "No more upstairs for you if you can't behave!"  After he left, Mommie still gave me hugs and kisses.  She had to write a letter to the government about what happened and send it to the "mutilated money" place - so they will replace it.  She told me that she sent a picture of me with the letter, she called me the "perpetrator"  - what's that?  Anyway that situation blew over pretty fast.  I steered clear of Dad for the rest of the day though.  I don't want him to get mad!  But he came in later and gave me kisses too.  That's probably because Mommie told me not to say anything about the green thing with the number one and the two "o"s after it - he doesn't know what happened to it!  All I know is she said that buys lots of dog toys!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It wasn't just plain old regular paper?  It was in Daddy's pants pocket with lots of other pieces just like it - how was I to know it was a "hundred dollar bill"?  It tasted just like the twenty dollar bill.......actually no, it did taste a bit different - meatier, for some reason.  Anyway I got myself into trouble with that, first thing Saturday morning.  But Mom didn't stay too mad for long, mumbled something about as long as you can produce at least half of the bill with the serial number the bank should take it.  Whew!  I guess I'll watch it in the future when I go around Dad's side of the bed!]]></content:encoded>

He said it had something to do with my wee-wee man - but it never stopped working!  And then Dr. Swanson found the rash down there and got all cuckoo and put that stupid lampshade collar thing on me!  It sucked!  Mommy picked me up and took me to Nana's and Nana and Aunt Barb came out to the car and made a big fuss over me - I got home with that stupid thing on and was afraid to move!  Finally Mommy took it off.  Then yesterday she goes out for a bit and Daddy must've thought I was scratching too much because he put it on me!  AUGH! Thank goodness Mommy came home and took care of it!  I love her!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is the best!  Mom always takes me somewhere on Friday night - usually Petsmart and Nana's house - then I get to hang with her all day on Saturdays - of course with Ollie and Rem too - but just like a big boy on the bed!  I don't know why she has to vacumm so much though - I try to bite the vacumm - woof!  And now she will have me with her all day while she does more stuff in the house.....then we will watch HGTV, go for walk in park, all good things!
Ollie is so in love with that Sasha next door - he can't stop talking about her!  Sheesh!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ take baths in the bathtub?  I am always running under the sprinker and enjoy the hose so I have to believe I am clean!  What does that Mommie mean that I "smell"?  Of course I smell great!  Like all those dirt covered balls I half bury.

Okay so I sat in the tub for a while and let mommy wash me - then I wanted to see what Oliver Louis was doing so I got out - and got told to get back in that tub immediately - I heard that fat head Ollie laughing from the bedroom.  Why doesn't he get a bath?  

Anyway, after the bath was over and I was allllllll wet allll over, Mommie used the blow dryer on me - I like that - I lay there and she goes up and down with it - and then without her even asking me, I switch sides.  It's better than that big one that have at the groomers.  Then after I dried off some more I got on the big bed and took a nice nap while Mommie watched TV in her bedroom.  And Rem was snoozing on the floor.  That's the nice part about baths - you feel all cozy and sleepy and fresh after them.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This was my first fourth of July ever!  It was so exciting!  The booms and then the fireworks lighting up the sky!  I loved it.  Rem was a bit afraid - and Ollie just acted like it was old news, but I loved it.  Mommie has been home for so many days now with us I love it.  
Last night she came home smelling very strange - but I knew the smell - I kept smelling and smelling and it reminded me of when I was a baby.  Mommie told me she went and helped take some new babies off the truck from my doggie parents at Nana Karen's and deliver them to their new parents,  so I guess they are like brothers and sisters of mine - just born at a later time!  No wonder she smelled so good!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ EXCITING!  I am just loving spring!  I love the grass, I love the birds!  I love the exotic animals - like squirrels  and deer- why Remy laughs at me when I call them exotic I do not know - I love the sounds - like frogs at night - it is just so exciting!  

Last weekend Mommie took me to Home Depot for the first time and actually put all 65 pounds of me in a carriage!  I was scared at first but then when people started talking to me - and cooing at me, and telling me how handsome I was - well I wasn't so afraid anymore!  Even when she put some plants in there with me - I just smelled them and looked out to see who was coming to talk to me next.  It was fun - I want to go again!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ a mother who stays home with you!  Mommie is all finished working nights and she stayed home with us today!  We all hung out in the big bed and then she gave us all Dingo bones!  What a party!  Of course, Ollie had to take mine away from me when Mommie wasn't looking - but she got it back for me. 
He got himself in big trouble again today by smashing the gate down and running out the front door when Mommie was taking me to Nana's to see Trusty and Kyline - he is in big trouble now!  I don't know why he has to be so bad - Rem says he might grow out of it he's only 2 years old.  Rem is very smart about a lot of things and a great older brother.  He is a great ear-licker too!]]></content:encoded>

Won't that Ollie be jealous!  Daddy had to go out somewhere and Mommie is still working nights so that is why I am going!  And my crate is staying home - so it looks like I'll be sleeping on Aunt Barbara's bed with Trusty!  I just love that Trusty - sometimes he really reminds me of my dog mother, Katie, just the way he looks sometimes - even though he is a boy!  I can't wait to go to Nana's!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This week has really started out great for me - first Mommie stayed home on Monday - and I got to go in the big bed with her and Rem and Ollie for a bit - until I couldn't stand the faces that Ollie was making at me - and started in on him - then I had to chill downstairs for a bit - no big deal - I had plenty of bones to keep me busy!  

Then - the BEST thing happened!  On Monday night and all into Tuesday it snowed!  And Mommie and Daddy both stayed home yesterday!  

I love the snow - I love, love, L-O-V-E IT!  And Trustina and Kylie came over and Mommie played some games with us!  Catch the Snowball was Trusty's fav but I liked the one she called "can you find the cookie?"  better!  Then we all piled into the house for some cookies and kisses!  Even Ollie was fun to be with for a change!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am getting bigger every day!  Yesterday I went to the vet and what a time I had!  I met a one-eyed pug named Coby,  an overweight beagle named Max, his mixed breed sister, Dutchess, a five month old chocolate lab named Doozier, and a three month old golden female named Dora!  I played with them ALL!  That Doozier was a wild man!   

 At four months old I weigh 37 pounds!    Oliver weighs 62 pounds and he is a fatty - that's all that mom and dad say to him - "how did you get so fat?" Mommy even calls him "Fatty" sometimes and he comes runnuing! 
 I also got to meet my trainer when I was at the vet - his name is Mike and he is very nice!  There was much more talk about Oliver's behavior than mine going on while he played with me - and when mom told the vet that she gives each of us the same toy and Ollie hides his and comes and takes mine he laughed and laughed - but still found time to give me a shot or two! Ouch! 

When we got home I was tired from all the playing - I went into my crate a took a little nap.  Then, another surprise!  Trusty and Kylie came over!  What fun we had!  That Kylie is a bit of a baby though - he kept crying about a toy that Ollie kept taking away from him~!  I love that Trusty~  Today was a really great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay - I am starting from scratch here - going back and trying to remember what I can so that I have memories of my whole life!  

I remember my doggie mother, Katie - who was L-O-V-E in a Golden Retriever's body, my father Rocky, who was extremely handsome, some of my brothers and sisters, Toby and Sophie come to mind, and my first human "Nana" - all in Missouri.  Then each day as I grew and grew I played more and more........I was one of ten babies born on October 30th, 2004, so there was always someone to play with!  And I remember Nana kissing me in Missouri and saying "here's a kiss from your mother in New York!"  quite a bit.

I also remember going to the vet - ugh!  And getting that silly chip in my ear - what is that all about!?  

But then I remember that ride.  That really, really, really long ride that I took with Sophie, and Toby (who got dropped off first in New Hampshire) and Murray - who was from another litter - but hey - he was like a brother!  

Then I remember being taken out of my crate - in that silly big TransPet truck - and looking right at my mother - they did something with the chip and she passed me to someone else!  And then when she tried to get me back the woman almost didn't give me to her - (they thought I was Sophie at first - should've checked my plumbing!).  And then I was with my mother!  The kisses she was giving me!  And she called me by my name right away! And then Murray came in the car with us - apparently he was going to be picked up at my New York Nana's house by his mother!  So we had some fun playing in the backseat with Johnny, my uncle.  But Murray was more tired than me - and he took a nap - I, on the other hand, had much chewing and investigating to do!]]></content:encoded>
