		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma has been in the kitchen an awful lot , it kind of upset me because her lap wasn't available. How can I be a lapdog without a lap?? Well anyways I heard her say to someone a Turkey is a flightless bird and I knew. She was lying because the turkeys across the road on the hill can fly. They fly up to the trees to roost. And they go gobble gobble gobble. Momma said all turkeys gobbles.  So if the turkeys across the road can fly why can't a butterball? The special foods for Thanksgiving smells so mouth watering. I'm literaly drooling. I hope my momma shares the Turkey with me. I hope all my friends has a wonderful Thanksgiving and you all get a slice of turkey too. Night night.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As the holiday approaches I want to give thanks for my friends, family and that I have a home with people who love me.

My heritage isn't pure and if I hadn't came from a good family locally, I might have ended up in a shelter or sold on Craigs List as so many puppies are. I am very fortunate that my birth mother had only one litter, her family wanted her to get to be a mother once before she was fixed. I am lucky all of my littermates live locally as family members not in cages. My life is blessed.

I have been following a wonderful family in Texas in the Dallas/fort worth area who rescue and help place pure breeds and designer breed dogs who come from bad situations. When I say bad situations I mean bad situations, such as those in Hoarding situations or puppies being sold on Craigs list at just a couple weeks old. The family of Emma the Cleft palate Chihuahua are remarkable women opening their hearts to well deserving puppies.  Their website is www.elizabethhart.com/emmarescues.htm .

If your surfing the web or looking for a new member for your family its worth checking out. There is an adoption fee which helps cover vet bills, vaccinating all rescues and prevention meds such as heart guard and frontline. All puppies placed are vet checked , the vaccinations are up to date and healthy. The fees also help with the ongoing medical bills of Emma and other Special need puppies.

They currently have some Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier pups needing homes that were rescued from a Craigs list advertisement.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sometimes people can be good friends to dogs, for instance Momma and dad's friends. Don't get me wrong I'm used to getting presents from momma when she goes to town and from my Aunt Amy who spoils me rotten. I have been sent prezzies from Texas and New Mexico. But a few days ago my parent's friends came to visit and they brought us all presents, even Sammy. They got me two new tennis balls, Rudie a squeaky bone and Sammy a ferret. Considering the circumstances its remarkable to think of others. Dad befriended them years ago and momma only met them last month. And after Rudie's illness and meeting the father its a reminder life is short and make each day count. Dad's friend has Stage 4 Cancer but brought us prezzies. They play with us and they smile. Isn't that what life's for to love and be loved? Smile and give happiness to others. And to stand by a friend through good times and bad? To listen and comfort. Rudie and I will offer him joy, just to be a friend when he needs one.

PS the new pictures mom helped us put on Dogster is his daughter with us.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I realize there is much more important voting going on but I'm a dog and this is important to me.  Soon after being given to momma as a gift my Aunt gave Momma a book on Shih Tzu so she could learn more about me. The book suggests a harness because we have fragile airways. But until recently I always wore a collar. My Aunt gave me a red harness and leash for my barkday.

I'm getting used to the change but What are your thoughts on harness vs collars? What do you wear?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Food. There is a few things I smell that drives me insane. I must have it. No ifs, ands or buts. I must get it even if I have to beg my tail off.

1.) Bacon- as soon as the first piece starts to sizzle it awakens my senses. The aroma as it cooks , flavoring the air. I sniff it hoping to get my first taste of the delectable goodness.  At this point I need a taste. The minutes seem like hours until I get a slice or ten.
2.) Sausage- again the sizzle as it starts to cook. The smell of sage in the air as bits of fats explode. Talk about almost losing your mind. I like it in links or patties.

** normally my dad cooks both on Sundays. Momma loves the smell but doesn't eat much of it often opting for eggs and toast instead. If she has bacon on plate its for me. Once in a while she will eat it but not often.

3.) Ham-  nothing like a holiday ham. The smell doesn't hit you as quick because it hasn't wafted out of the oven . Once the smell happens its divine and feels like days before first taste. But once it happens it was worth the wait.

* ham was my first taste of human food and was worth learning to get on the furniture for.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I want to thank everyone for the prayers, love and support you have given our family. My brudder needs prayers still even though he seems to be getting better. He's not a bad dog. Compared to me he's laid back but a great companion for the times Mom goes out. I would hate to be alone and the cat kind of creeps me out. I swear he looks at me like his next meal. Rudie is my protection from the cat. Also when he's in and momma is home the cat has the audacity to try to sit in her lap! He must not of got the memo that she belongs to me! Perhaps he's ignoring all memos regarding momma. Oh well...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our family came through this recent disaster unharmed. We live in Southern Ohio and we did get a lot of rain , wind and later on snow from Sandy. She was truly a superstorm. We hope our human and canine friends are okay. We didn't lose our power but my grandma did for 12 hours. We had strong wind for 12 hours, rain for 2 days and snow. To be honest our weather was inconvenient but not too damaging. We are lucky because those north and east of us was hit much harder. We are still warm and at home. Our family is safe. My brudder isn't well. I'm praying he will be okay.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My momma and I just checked the weather again, its not looking too good for those along the east coast and mid Atlantic Valley up to the great lakes. Our region will have 20-30 mph sustained winds with 50 mph gusts. So on top of the wind from Hurricane Sandy we have a cold front from the Artic. Snow, rain and wind is in my immediate future. My skin parents are going to go ahead and take down the outdoor Halloween decorations and put the porch chairs in the basement. The associated press thinks Sandy will make landfall around NJ. I sure hope my friend Petey and his family will be okay. 

If your in the path of this storm please stock up on food, water, batteries if you choose to ride it out at home. This would be a good time to have an alternate source of heat or power as widespread outages is expected. Especially heat because its cold. Batteries for flashlights, portable radios because this is a serious storm.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There is a tall person lurking in my yard in a long black robe, boney features carrying a long stick. During the day he doesn't look quite scary but at night his eyes glow red.  I seen, sniffed and left pee- mail on him during the day, I hope he didn't know it was me! During my night patrol I would not dare approach him. I bark and bark at him but he remains quiet casting tall shadows. He will disappear again as quickly as he appeared., but I never know when he will reappear. *sighs* At least this time he came alone and didn't bring his friends that always seem to hang out by the road.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Several weeks ago my Dad' s sister rescued 2 more chihuahua girls. The circumstances we know is, the owners moved away and left 2 girls unattended without food, water and shelter in a fenced in yard.  After a couple days, neighbors began throwing food over fence, giving water and eventually taking one of the girls in. The other girl we were told was scared and not able to be caught. After several weeks my Aunt was told and she agreed to rescue the girls, hence my newest cousins SYLVIA AND FIONA.  Sylvia was in very bad shape from malnutrition, neglect and bad teeth, both of the girls were.  The vet examined the girls and Sylvia had to have a lot of teeth pulled. Even though a kind neighbor tried to give her food through the fence she wasn't able to eat. Fiona wasnt in as bad shape as Sylvia. Both girls are doing good, Sylvia spent a whole weekend with me. She came along with my Aunt and bestie Zayne on a visit. She's kind of skinny but a pretty girl, I wonder if she's single?  My mom thinks the owners were evildoers, abandoning the girls like they did. A shelter would of been better than being left alone in a yard for weeks. The girls are loved and cared for now, my Aunt has a heart of gold.  She really does! What happened to these little girls is a good reason why my home state needs Nitro's law. Thankfully a neighbor cared enough to try to help and contact my Aunt. The girls have a home now, their bellies are no longer empty ,  their needs are met and they are loved.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My skin nephew, my skin parents grandson has arrived on my barkday. Because he was born on my barkday there will no excuse to forget this special day again. He weighs 8.4 and 22 inches long. O still think I should be the "dogfather". I could teach him about pee-mail and how to send messages . Which trees to check and how to properly mark possessions. I have plans for Nathan Bradley. I sure hope he knows Momma, Dad and my toys belong to me. He can borrow my parents under close supervision.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you Cooper and family for remembering my barkday, at least someone did, my momma forgot!  Her forgetfulness is understandable considering the circumstances. But then again my 3rd barkday is special, oh how could she forget?  I know why she forgot my barkday, her brain is going 1000 miles a minute, I'm sure if I lick her ears I will taste it. She's anxious, her grandhuman is on the way. My daddy's daughter is at the hospital waiting on the stork. Her water was broke last night and now just awaiting on that pesty bird. Humans must be different than dogs because no stork delivered me , I come out of my canine mom. The doctor thinks he is about 10#, his name will be Nathan Bradley. The little one and I will have 2 things in common, he will be my weight at birth and we will share the same barkday. So there will no excuse to forget my barkday again. My human sister should be holding him soon and I wonder if I could be his dogfather? Will post updates when that bird arrives. Pups and Kisses, Rocky]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you once again for the honor of being one of today's Daily Diary Picks. I was pleased to learn of this honor, since I'm a simple little Tzu who loves to play fetch.  And a little guy who happens to love his Momma.  I appreciate the little things in life. You know life's too short to not smell and taste the flowers. To not lay on the sunny area on the floor and chase a ball is denying life I'm a simple boy who loves and appreciates his friends near and far.you can never have too many friends. Much love, Rocky

PS  May your bowel be full of good things to eat, a warm lap to lay in, toys to play with and love.  I am blessed with all of this.

PSS. Night night friends. It's time to go sleep between Momma and my dad. Sweet Dreams]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you Dogster and all my BFF on Dogster the honor of being one of today's Daily Diary Picks. And the gifts. I was surprised waking up today to learn of this honor. I celebrated by fetching my racquetball and making Momma fetch. She might mumble and grumble but I'm most certain she loves to fetch. Besides fetch I groomed her face and arms and funny looking paws. I didn't share her today, because there was no kids.  I finished the day with a nap and then pizza crust another nap and a game of fetch. Now its time for this TZU to go night night. Goodnight my dear friends. Remember during this extreme heat to drink a lot and keep cool.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Who says you can't teach little skin babies tricks?  The twins (double trouble) must of been watching momma play fetch because pretty soon they were wanting to chase a tennis ball themsves. So momma would throw 2 balls at once , shy-ann and I would run side by side to retrieve it. And then Randi decided to join in the fun. To avoid collision I sat back & watched. I know the little skin babies are Momma's relation and she's Welsh, Irish & Cherokee. But maybe their dad was a "retriever".  Or Chinese Crested and retriever because of their smooth skin and wanting to retrieve things.  With humans you can never tell and all are mixed breeds., with a little of this and a little of that. I've enjoyed having 20 more fingers petting me and 20 little fingers dropping food. And since I'm a month older than they are I am the pack leader & owner of momma's lap. I'm going to miss them when they go home. Maybe when they come back I can show them the importance of sniffing and how I say hello.  I might even teach them how to mark a tree or two or ten....hehehe.  gotta love little humans.]]></content:encoded>

WhY aren't they awake to play fetch with me? What about my needs?  Why is sleep more important than me? I'm 2 and they are 2, I'm the exact same age and I'm ready to play now. I'm willing to share Momma and everything just so I can get them awake to play fetch. Someone, anyone just throw the ball already!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Life is good for us, momma is doing better and shes finally healed from her cysts. She's more active which means more outdoor fun for me. I run and play a lot but my hair picks up bramble from the grass. One of my newest outdoor activities is riding on mower with dad.  I know that sounds strange since I detest loud noises but In Dad's lap I Feel SAFE. I wonder if he will ever let me steer?  How have you all been.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanna say I'm sorry I haven't been on much! Since I'm only 2, momma doesn't allow me on unsupervised so I dictate what I want hers to write. My momma has not been good. Hers might have something called diabetes and having other issues. I try to take her pain away by kissing her a lot!

She's starting to feel better cause I had 2 baths this week, yesterday & today. If I knew playing in the mud would require baths I would of done it sooner. I found a mud puddle and loved the feel of it between my toes so I played in it. Also mud smells as good as it looks (even my beard & mustache was muddy.) I'm clean again but like they say tomorrows another day & heaven is leaking bucket fulls of tears so tomorrow will have more puddles.
Goodnight my friends.

XOXO Rocky]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its been a long time since I updated my page and diary here. Its been an okay year so far this year, not so great at times. After Nanny went to sleep in her bye bye box my momma got really sick. Hers ran a very high temp for 4 days. At times it was above 105f! Hers had something called pneumonia and Pleurisy. After being on biotics for 2 weeks she's fine now, but she thinks the pleurisy is back.

Last month we had a lot of wind and our porch roof came tumbling down. I am afraid of wind and noise so I got a double helping of both. My dad starting repairing the porch and should be done with it soon. I am also afraid of thunder & lightening. Momma thinks my fears are neurotic but whatever!

The good news in our family is my skin sister Carrie will have a baby in October. So my momma will be a grammy! Everyone is so excited.

Time to go nighty night]]></content:encoded>

Daddy about had a kitchen mishap with me. He was removing the oven rack to put the ham in and it about hit me. After that I backed up and stayed clear of the oven. I'm okay , it just scared me. After everything was done we got a small plate of food! The Ham was delicious. 
Next time the ovens used we aren't allowed near it. Momma plans to put a gate up to keep us out. She wants to keep us safe.

Tonight while Momma was cooking she gave us a taste of this and a taste of that. Good food is my favorite part of Christmas and waiting on Santa Paws.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you for your words of support and love during our time of grief. Momma spent today with her sister and Daddy after the arrangements were made. Momma said I can't go to the services because I'm a fur baby.

I am grateful that her last wishes to be home were honored. My granny argued with the Dr when he tried to put her in a Hospice. She wanted to go home and be in her own bed. She got her way and she smiled happily when she got home.

Even though our hearts are full of sorrow, we still rejoice for having her.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In another week the fat man in the red suit will be making a visit. I want new squeaky toys and things to chew on but most of all I want my granny to get better.

The Dr didn't give her much time and since she is on Oxygen all the time now, she doesn't visit anymore. Momma spent one day with her this week and let her have her pressie early just in case.

Momma doesn't take me to visit her because she's afraid I will chew on some tubes or fight with Aunt Jersey, granny's Wiener Dog.

I been getting into fights lately with much larger dogs and Granny's wiener dog is pretty vicious herself. Last week I challenged a border Collie. Momma said she's going to send me to obedience school if I keep it up. Good Night Dear Friends.

PS hope Santa doesn't leave me Coal cause I want more toys & chewies .]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanna thank Petey for the beautiful Halloween and Christmas cards. Momma is supposed to help me with mine on Sunday. I can type but I'm not able to hold a pencil. My toes are too short. I miss you Petey, patch and friends.

My Momma met my Nemesis online, no its not the evil Facebook. Its something called YOUTUBE, she stares at a small screen for hours watching anything that interests her. Its like she becomes hypnotized. I even became a daddy's boy trying to change her ways but she has too much on her mind.

Besides my nemesis , she's worried about her nephew and my grandma. Her nephew has a rare condition called HSP, he just turned 7. Its so rare there is no specialist for it and no reason why it happens. The Doctors treat the symptoms but not the condition. Some days are better than others but it just needs to run its course (6-8 weeks) and hope there is no relapse.

Grandma on the other hand is surprising her. The Dr gave little hope but she's fighting now! 81 is the new 60! We hope she will be back home with grandpa soon!

Well time to get back in Daddy's lap and hope Momma gets back to normal soon!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh I get tired of Momma treating me like a degenerate Pervert. So what if I'm finally liking the "Ladies"! I will be 2 soon. I did have a crush once on Mya, a fly looking Chihuahua. She told me in uncertain terms, our relationship is cousins and occasional playmates. Nobody but Mya can steal with such stealth. Another reason for my ever ending admiration of her. Perhaps my love for her was for the stolen items she would sometimes share.
And then there was the "friendship" issue with Zayne. We were just playing honest! Hey I thought being curious was just being youthful! Wrestling is fun!
Mom thinks its okay to love everyone. But at the same time she wants a same breed companion for me. With my brothers fragile health although returning is still uncertain at times. She's afraid of me being alone because there is times she goes places I can't go. Sure the cat could be a companion but he's devilish. I am certain I am big enough he won't try to eat me but I don't want to find out the hard way!
Some good friends helped convince her to wait and rescue instead. 
One day when we share the air conditioning vent Momma can tell her about the journey to get her here. ..a journey of love.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Again thank you Petey. Your comments woke Momma back up to what's important, rescuing one already here and in need. My Aunt (Zaynes mom) sent momma a link to a Shih Tzu mix in a rescue. Momma thought she was cute but found some other pretty Tzu's needing homes. Some were in the rescue after being dumped along road. Or rescued from bad breeders and puppy mills. All are spayed, HW checked and vaccinated. 
Mom found a few that her & dad agreed upon. Now to save for adoption fee. We will get there.


**Note from Rocky's Mom**
 Was looking on a rescues listing on pet finder earlier. Was joking around and asked Rocky if he wanted to see. Being the typical male he jumped in my lap and started watching the female Tzu listings as if it was a dating website. Seen freshly groomed Tzu's but Rocky seemed to enjoy the bearded ladies. Go figure! Ha! Ha!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ After you commented it made momma realize adoption would be better from a shelter or breed specific rescue. Millions of homeless animals are destroyed every year because of over population including pure breeds and hybrids (mixed breeds) just like me. I am mostly Shih Tzu and look Shih Tzu. 
She had contacted a rescue before for possible adoption but was not contacted when and if the breeder surrendered the female. Our pound was not holding dogs a while back because of illness and sending directly to fosters and then other states. None was adopted in our area! Momma is going to check petfinder to see if we can find a Tzu.

**Checked the surrounding 5 shelters in Ohio and WV, no Tzu listed at this time. Will check daily.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma is in a struggle again, whether or not I will ever be a daddy. One of her friends has a female Shih Tzu that she wants me to meet. The Female is in a good forever home and is well cared for. I myself receive vet check ups, vaccinations and grooming. So my forever home is great. Any interactions with Sassy will happen at my house before my neuter (momma won't tell me what neuter is).
Dad said that Momma could get one of my daughters and keep or place in a responsible household. There is talk if this happens her name will be Minion (Minnie). Dad said she can stay with me forever. Momma has a family picked for a second girl that could provide a wonderful home. But she would only get Minnie for our family and there is no guarantee of girls. 
Mom would worry about the rest of my kids, whether or not they are in good homes. If they get groomed, fed and shots. And whether or not they are loved. So Mom is reluctant to go forward.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This was sent to my Momma from my best friend Zayne's Mommy. Hers is Daddy's sister. The Author is unknown but its a sad story that needs told. Before adopting a new dog please consider the responsibility first. But I also know if your a member here on Dogster your family loves you and are responsible.


Dear Mom and Dad,

I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge .

Would I still be at home if I hadn't chewed your shoe? I didn't know what it was, but it was leather, and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get puppy toys.

Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door.

Would I still be at home if I hadn't brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn't get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days.

Would I still be at home if I hadn't barked? I was only saying, "I'm scared, I'm lonely, I'm here, I'm here! I want to be your best friend."

Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? Hitting me didn't make me learn how.

Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach manners to me? You didn't pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A small child in Portsmouth Ohio was bitten at the Grandparents house by 3 yes I said 3 mixed breed dogs! Does anyone want to guess what breed is in the mix? The small child is 14 months old. Apparently the dogs were normally confined when the Grandparents would have company. This times the dogs weren't and climbed over the owner to attack the baby. The baby was bitten from head to feet and was treated at Children's Hospital. The owner will be charged and sadly 2 of the dogs will be destroyed. 
Things like this make BSL possible all over. Momma thinks its a form of abuse therefore wrong. She also thinks the owners are idiots. If they knew the dogs are aggressive and did not restrain them away from the baby the charges should be on them not the dogs.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Life has been quiet lately. Dad is working a lot just so he can buy me toys, my brudder Rudie stays hidden most of the time, sleeping. The cat stays gone for hours at a time stalking & killing things. So a lot of the time it's just me and Momma.

She is alright to hang out with until Dad gets home. Dad wants to share her but she belongs to me. I don't wanna share her. Even when she's sleeping I stay close and if I need to get up I leave a sock monkey on her pillow. When she eats I remind her that she needs to share.

I love my Momma!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sorry I haven't wrote much lately. Momma has been too busy to take my dictation. She has been keeping a close eye on my brudder Rudie. He has good and bad days, he cries a lot sometimes other days he is so quiet you almost forget he's there.

He really cried last night when he got a bath. I should of cried because I like baths but didn't get one. I had one a few days ago and jumped in tub with Momma, so I guess I had 2 baths this week.

Momma tried out the new shampoo/conditioner on us. It made me soft but I smell so handsome.

Tank you Forrest and Family for our new hamburgers you sent to my aunts house for us. My Aunt will bring them to us when she comes for sleepovers.

Night All

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got a new job, I'm now a lap dog. Since my latest grooming I decided there was more for me than working in Security. I tried being a guard dog, protecting my domain. Since momma started changing the furniture it made my job difficult. How was I going to patrol for intruders when I can no longer reach the windows to see out?

My surveillance lookouts is down to just 1 window, and I have to get on a table for that! I can always be a part time guard dog.

Being a lap dog has its advantages. The hours are good because Momma doesn't work right now. I'm at a great location when momma eats. Just one pitiful stare and she shares her food. And it's belly rub galore.

If I would of known about this wonderful opportunity I would of switched jobs sooner. But the way I see it being a lap dog is fun!

Now if I could just figure out where Momma's lap goes when she stands up!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma finally took me for my hair cut. She got my body, legs, and feet cut short to help me keep cooler this summer. My tail, ears and tail was trimmed. And if your looking at the pictures as you read this I do have a Top Knot in tied with a ribbon! Does anyone know how to get this blasted top knot out?

After I got home I did a squeaky toy search. All are accounted for & nobody pilfered my toys, thank goodness! My toys are my toys & Rudies Toys are my toys. After assuring all of my toys was safe I let Momma take my pictures.

We took a nap & when Dad got home from work, I ate some french fries. Momma thought Dad got the fries for her but the fries are mine.

I had a wonderful day and time to take a small nap. Night Night!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank You Petey and Cooper for helping us Companion Animals in Ohio. We aren't able to leave comments or respond to comments. Hopefully soon we might be able to.

Yes Petey think Ohio and Your state might be running neck & neck with bad laws. Right now there is 4-5 anti abuse laws in our House of Representatives.

 We read about the Amish Puppy Mill Raids in PA, which lived in some bad conditions. We have lots of Amish near us and some breed dogs but haven't heard about bad stuff. My Aunt got her Luke from the Amish but their dogs were not confined to cages.

Thank You again for making a call for us.

------

Yesterday Momma, Dad, my brudder and I walked up on the hill to check the honeysuckle and raspberry bushes. And then Momma walked further up and was looking at my sister's cross. My brudder laid down beside it. I think my sister is by the cross and my brudder misses her a lot.
When we came back down our hill, I splashed in a mud puddle. It felt good on my feet. Momma threatened to give me another bath but I love taking baths and just had one Monday. So momma just washed my feet, legs, belly and face yesterday.
Rudie and I chased each other in the yard before going back inside. As soon as we were back indoors Rudie went back to bed to 7 pm tonight. He doesn't play or interact with anyone when he's inside.
Goodnight All

XOXO

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I  write this as a proud family member of my three precious fur babies, Rudie, Rocky & Sammy. For close to a year our family has supported Nitro's Law.

This law isn't just about Nitro, its about PROTECTING companion animals in OHIO. To be honest we have crappy laws. The laws do not protect our trusted, loyal family members without a voice.

It angers me knowing that my beloved babies could be abused by a groomer, or if I ever kennel them (which would never happen!). That my neighbor could harm them. And these actions could go unpunished because of crappy laws.

They give us friendship, love, comfort and companionship. They listen to us without judging us. We owe them so much and they ask for so little. Let's change the laws to give them a voice. 

Now I want to ask a favor. Whether or not you live in Ohio~~ Everyone Please call: Lynn Slaby 614.644.5085 just say "I'm calling to encourage Representative Slaby to put Nitro's Law HB 108 on the agenda" Thank you!!)

Most mobile plans have nights and weekends so this call would be free on mobile carriers & you don't have to give your name just leave a brief message stating ""I'm calling to encourage Representative Slaby to put Nitro's Law HB 108 on the agenda" Thank you!!)".

It takes less than a minute and you could help change our Law]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a wonderful evening outside. The sun was warm with a light breeze & no rain. It has rained a lot this year and when its wet outside I don't get to go out often because I get muddy.

Momma and I went outdoors for an hour or so. I got to run & play. But I was on my long leash. Since Cocoa's accident and trip to the bridge we don't get to run off the leash often anymore.

I played & played, and what made things great I was outside with my Momma. I better get some sleep.

My daddy is doing better and went back to work today. In case your wondering my daddy works for one of is friends at a car lot. He's a mechanic. The Dr's didn't want to let him out Tuesday but daddy insisted on going home.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today makes two whole days without Daddy and I sure do miss him. He was taken away from home to a place called a hospital on Sunday. Momma and him was both sick but Momma got better. 

The Dr thinks it was something they ate because they were both sick and since she's younger she got better quicker. Hopefully today he might come home. I just can't understand about the Dr thinking this was caused by food because I eat everything Momma eats, I insist on it. The food was good. 

Momma went to bed early last night after getting home from visiting with him. She must have been wore out. Yesterday morning she only had a couple hours of sleep between Sunday morning and taking my brudder to see our Dr.

I got to go along for the ride. Momma sat up front with Rudie on her lap and my uncle watched me in the back seat. He is starting to feel better but he had to get a shot.

Time to go backs to sleep with Mom..]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Home alone with my brudder. Daddy is at the hospital with a tummy ache. I am so upset because momma locked me in the bathroom when the men took daddy away in the van with the whirley lights. They think its his appendix.

Momma is there at the hospital with him. By time she gets home it will be time to take Rudie to the vet. She changed our food back to Kibbles N Bits and he's starting to eat again. So hopefully his problems aren't bad after all.

Please keep him in your prayers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey its me Rocky. Sorry I hadn't wrote much lately. My brudder has not been feeling good.

He's GROUCHY! I don't even have to get near him without him growling at me. I still like to bother him once in awhile but for the most part I leave him alone!

He doesn't eat much dog food anymore. Once in awhile momma or dad gives him bologna but they hide medicine in it for him. I get the other half of it! I hope they aren't trying to fool me too!

He doesn't even beg for food now. Tonight mom gave me chicken. And I laid near dad hoping he would drop a treasured bite of food and he did.

Please keep my brudder in your thoughts!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Maybe here in a little bit my cousin Serenity Jane will make her debut. My cousin Beanie is at the hospital because her water broke.
I just can't understand how she was able to break water! I have played in my water dish, in mud puddles (Momma was not happy about that), and in the tub. And as much as I played in water it never become broke.
Beanie's pawrents came down to visit momma a few weeks ago and promised to come back the next time with the baby. Momma is so excited for our newest family member to get here!

Night Night furiends maybe she will be born while we are sleeping!

When we got back home I shared the treat with my brudder. My dad was cutting the grass while we was gone.

Tonight I got sick to my tummy and threw up a few times. Me isn't feeling good. So I will say goodnight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hearing Momma say...boys..means our day is coming to a close..cuddle time and sleeping with Momma. When we hear Momma say boys, my brudder and I stop what we're doing and follow her to bed. I jump up on her side of the bed and lay by her for some cuddling.

Once she falls asleep , I get back up to get my toys. Some balls and a squeaky ugly chicken or squeaky monster. I love sleeping with my squeaky friends. Once I got my entourage with me, I move the balls close to momma.

Once in awhile she will roll over on a squeaky toy or tennis ball, waking up long enough to throw it out of bed. There is nothing like a game of fetch in the middle of the night.

Once I'm done collecting my toys again I go back to bed. Once I'm sleepy I go under the covers by Momma's side.

Its a good life. Night Night..I just heard Momma call boys!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Duchess Catkilla must of been behind this oversight. My invitation must of got lost in the mail so our family watched the wedding from afar. 

It was a lovely ceremony, but not as ornate as the wedding of Lady Diana & Prince Charles. Momma watched William's parents wedding when she was a little girl.

I honestly think the Palace needs Shih Tzus. Sure Corgi are fine herding. A shih Tzu was made to dwell in palaces. A jack Russell, Pekingnese or others would make better palace dwellers.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm referring to the invitation to William's big day. I'm sure the guest list is full of royalty and regal guest. Who is more regal than a Shih Tzu?

I am most certain the Corgis in residence will attend the festivities. My lineage as any Shih Tzu can be traced to the Imperial Palace in ancient Tibet. My shih Tzu ancestors were ancient ADT alarms, we warned of intruders. My ancestors were companions to the Emperor & his family.

How's that for Pedigree? So for a Shih Tzu to be excluded is treason. Sure my family tree has many branches instead of one long twig but I'm regal and graceful.

Oh Well, I will have to watch from afar like everyone else.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Life is getting better again. We still have some sadness from our loss but we all miss her for different reasons. She was my brothers companion and she played with me a lot. Without her I play less and momma thinks I'm calmer.

My brother and I get along better now. Perhaps because I'm calmer we don't bicker as much. Dad notices the differences too. Tonight I laid calmly in his lap to be brushed, normally only momma brushes me.

Dad thinks its peaceful with just 2 of us so he's reluctant to rescue another dog. Momma feels we need a little girl in the house.

In other news Dad finally agreed with Momma on my next hair cut. momma is changing my groomer and hopefully in the next few weeks my hair will be cut right. The last groomer hacked up my hair and when My grandparents & mom picked me up, my nanny was not sure it was me. Momma liked the cut but after closer examination she wasn't satisfied.

I will post pictures once I get groomed. Time to return to my palace in dreamland!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had a good Easter today. It started off with Momma letting us have a biscuit. My brudder ate his and most of mine.

And she gave us hard boiled eggs, just the white part. I ate a little of it and my brudder got the rest.

My momma and Daddy fixed us a small plate of food as they normally do on Holidays or special occasions. 

They gave us Ham, sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes. The ham was mouthwatering yummy. After we ate my parents ate.

Before eating they said a small prayer for our family and Cocoa. We thought of her today and remembered the happy times.

Hope all had a happy time with your families.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are missing my sister still. Through our grief My brudder and I are getting along. Our squabbles don't happen as often and we find comfort in having each other. Even without her life goes on.

The day after my sister died my cousin Scrappy Doo (300983) bit a delivery person. He's currently incarcerated at the county pound in Lock Up. He will be paroled on 4/22 but he's been sending messages through the underground wanting nail files baked into dog biscuits. 

I think he should behave in jail because he's now got 1 mark against him. I hope he gets rehabilitated and realize crime doesn't pay.

After the Warden picked him up, Grandma went to Hospital. Hers is doing better and should be released soon.

Our family has been through a lot in less than 10 days.

In other news our friends are sending us sock monkeys in the mail. we can't wait to get them. We love Sock Monkeys.]]></content:encoded>

Awhile went by and Cocoa didn't come back. Momma told us that Cocoa is okay and is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge in Heaven.

I am getting kind of worried about her because its dark outside and she's never been outside in the dark by herself.

I just wonder when I will see my sister again. I am missing her!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This weekend was awesome because I got to play with Zayne for hours. Momma was beginning to think we were demented juvenile delinquents with major ADHD. We bounced off the walls. Playing with my new toys. My Aunt got us a lot of nice new toys for Easter.

She said the Toys were for all of us but she got them all for me. A small squeaky starfish and a squeaky frog but his frog legs weren't very good. I heard frog legs was delicious but when I ate the foot it taste like plastic. She also got me an order of Squeaky McDonald's Fries but it didn't taste like the fries momma gives me.

She got me 3 little tennis balls and a little football. She got me a new green collar and a Shirt from Teddy Eddies. Its used but new to me. Someone sent it to her a long time ago for her dog but it was too big so she gave it to me. Its a size Small.

Time to get back to playing with Zayne. Goodnight all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So happy my friend Patch is back. He commented on my last diary. Oh yes he did.

The diary was about "how to entertain" guest and yes I have done everything listed but not all in one day plus a little bit more.

I always go to the bathroom with all guest no matter how many times they have visited and most of the time I bring a ball or one of my squeaky toys. I also try to show guest I imitate the squeaks.

I have dragged items from the laundry basket in for guest to see (socks, underwear and bras). Usually the last startles mom. And I have stolen these things from guests. If they are careless to leave things down low, I will claim them.

I have only went dumpster diving  (bathroom trashcan) twice but never when guest are here. Mom knows my tricks and empties it before guest come. One day she will forget and I will show the loot.

Now Patch when you show guest your bunny are you trying to get them to play with you? Or are you showing items guests better not touch?

Yes its a lot to do with guest for a brief visit but most can be accomplished in just a few hours.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Besides the usual extra belly rubs and ear scratches there is some things you can do to make the visit memorable for guest.

Follow all guest to the bathroom and don't forget to bring a ball. If they are sitting down there is NO reason they can't play fetch with you. If they don't just stare them down. It will make them nervous and will often rush out forgetting to close door.

Shred whole rolls of toilet paper.

Get into the bathroom trash. There is stuff in there that doesn't need to be seen but gets the guest or momma excited.

Raid the laundry basket and bring the items in the living room. Again this will shock the guest.

Steal shoes if the guest removes them.

There is so much to do to entertain guest just find your routine & enjoy.]]></content:encoded>

Its not easy being the littlest member of our Tribe. I can't run as fast as the older ones. Its harder to see out of the windows because I'm short. But I am the baby so life isn't hard.

I would also like to Thank COOPER & The GANG for my beautiful new picture. You all are true friends and I will post the picture proudly.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma finally uploaded some newer pictures of me. Its a work in progress. I most likely need clearer pictures but they are new.

If your wondering about the picture of the handsome couple, that's my birth mom and dad. My mom is on the left, she is Maltese and Shih Tzu. My Dad is on the right 100% Shih Tzu. Isn't he handsome? I get my facial features from him! So my look isn't by accident!

The picture of the little black and white puppy is me. Momma thinks I was around 3 weeks in it. maybe 4 weeks old. When momma got me a few weeks later my hair was longer.

Maybe if my Aunt comes over we can do some Easter Pictures.

PS momma figured out I was on the new table because I left prints on the glass. I was just looking for something to steal!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I want to thank Momma for sharing her french fries last night. And for a bite of her Pizza Hut bread stick today. It looks like I got a new addiction. I wish she would of Dipped mine in the red stuff but she was worried it stain my beard.

I wanna thank dad for working hard to take care of us. Paying for vets, grooming, food and toys. I will not thank him for new tables I'm not allowed on.

For my siblings to teaching me how to fool the humans to get my way.

For the Little Pack and my Aunt for keeping me looking like one stylish Tzu and toys and treats. And my forever Bestie Zayne.

I am thankful for my pals on dogster. Wish we could go to a dog park to chase the girls. In my mind we all live in a peaceful loving kingdom.

Thanks for being my Friends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The skin parents decided to change the Decor in the living room without consulting me. I was informed tonight I am not allowed on the new tables and I better not be caught lifting one leg to them or the lamps. And nobody else is allowed either.

I even heard that my potty papers will no longer be in privacy after this week. That I will be required to do all personal business outside. And even that spot will be changing because of re-seeding to make the walkway presentable. It took us a year to kill that grass
 
Too many changes, this means war!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It seems to me more and more animal abuse cases are making the headlines in Ohio these days. Each story worse than the ones before. Perhaps its more news worthy because of HB 108 and our pending anti abuse law for companion animals. I fully support any law that punishes those who abuse animals. The beginning of this started because a man who was paid to train and care for dogs starved 19 dogs. As a result 8 died. His excuse was he could not afford to feed the dogs.

Today I read on FaceBook a lady in New Jersey starved her dog and used the same excuse, she could not afford to feed her pitt bull.

When we buy our pet foods we try to buy enough to last but once in awhile we do run out a day before my husband gets paid. We normally keep on hand some things that can be prepared easily that's nutritious and filling for our dogs. 
Ground Turkey, beef or chicken can easily be mixed with brown rice or whole wheat pasta. With peas or carrots.
Just make sure all grease is drained and rinse the vegetables to remove excess sodium. 

With research and a little common sense, no dog should go hungry. A lot of the better dog foods contain chicken, rice, vegetables, oats etc.

Some people serve this cooked food a couple times a week in small amounts with the hard dog food. Just research the ingredients first because items such as onion can be poison to dogs. My Shih Tzu Book is full of ideas for substitutes for dog food and treats.

Fresh fruit, berries, vegetables , non fat unsweetened yogurt and cottage cheese, boiled eggs (just the white part), chicken etc.

With the endless list of possible ingredients there is no reason why a dog needs to go hungry.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My fur Mother is a Shih Tzu and Maltese Hybrid. Her family decided they wanted to let her have one litter of puppies before getting her fixed so they sought out a perfect mate. 

They purchased my fur father and a year or so later I was born.

My siblings and I were all black & white, I have more black than they do.

After I was born my first skin momma picked me out and visited with me a couple times before I was weaned. She took me home when I was almost 7 weeks old.

The breeder gave 1st momma my vet's name and the name I was treated under (JJ) to verify my well puppy check and worming.

When I was 8 weeks old I was given to Momma as her Christmas Present. I stole her heart and she mine. I loves my family!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First thing about me that should be understood, I'm not bad.

Sure I was barking, having a conversation with the pretty maltese next door. Her white coat was flowing and glistening, that girl looked F.I.N.E.

The wind was blowing gently through her fur. What kind of boy would I be if I didn't "speak" to her?

As for me escaping outside for Momma to chase me was simply not true. Chasing me was her choice. I just wanted to run on a beautiful late winter day. The air was comfortable with a gentle breeze and the sun was shining. Its hard to resist perfect weather...

As for the chicken, that was my fault. It smelled so good but had I not been so greedy she would of shared. Because I snagged the chicken, she took it all from me and gave it to my Brudder.

Fighting with my brudder was my fault too, he was too close to momma. He already got my chicken, I'm not giving her up that easy...

Will see you all tomorrow if I'm not grounded from Momma's Blackberry....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to go see Nanny and Pappy today and I got to play with Jersey. She is a mini wienie dog. She is part of my family, which got me thinking.

There is a lot of different types of family. For instance our family includes 2 parents (a momma and dad), 3 dogs and a cat. We are Momma's kids. Some might find our family strange but its normal to me.

No matter what type of family you have,  as long as your loved any family is great. And I'm so loved....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm glad my Brother and Sister shared the pop bottle ideal on Dogster. Zayne's mom shared it with Momma. It's something I enjoy once in awhile. 

Its a good toy for indoor exercise when the weather is bad outside or too hot to play outdoors. Momma has also made a couple during sleep overs. If your mom tries this make sure your not left unattended with it. When the treats are gone or bottle becomes damaged throw it in recycle bin.

Another good ideal is re-gifting toys, clothes, dog beds, etc.

When Rudie was little Momma bought him several of the same type of toys but different colors. Rudie only played with one, so the others were never played with, not chewed on etc.. Cocoa didn't like them. I love them.. My toys now.

When momma got Rudie a bed he wouldn't sleep in it. A neighbor got a new Puppy and momma gave that puppy the bed. The puppy loved it.

My Aunt sometimes buys clothes and its either too small for Scrappy Doo or too big for the Chihuahuas but perfect for me.

Instead of throwing these things away, let another dog have them or if the items are in great shape donate to a shelter or rescue.

Or if you want to trade the items for something you CAN use there is always Trading Dog Goodies (group on dogster). Its a fun group with lots of great things to do. 

Let's save the planet... One Toy at a Time...please mail all toys 2 me! Ha Ha!

Momma has been stretching the truth when asked how she's doing. With the loss of Brenda and the services she didn't want to worry Lucky's Dad, because of what the family dealt with this week.

Today Lucky attacked Sammy, our cat. He wasn't injured and mom got him to sleep in a safe room. Apparently she's cat aggressive, so when Sammy's home mom tries to keep him safe. This is his home, she is a guest.

Momma decided not to tell Lucky's dad until he picks her up tomorrow. One more night with Lucky and tomorrow afternoon she will be ready to travel again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My family started a group to share information about Nitro's Law and upcoming legislation in Ohio. 

Even if you don't live in Ohio, we would love for you to join the group. Non residents can help with the pet postcard project.

If you live in another state and have similar problems with the laws to protect companions. Please share the information with us. Maybe we can help your state also.

We are trying to make everyone aware, to let others what's being done and what we can do to make a difference in a dog or cats life.

If we can help protect one dog or cat by changing the laws it would be worth it.

Right now the information in the group is about Nitro's Law. We would like to eventually add a fun section, games or easy craft ideals for variety.

The first project is the Pet postcard project for nitro's Law. The price is just 1 stamp and just a few minutes to help change the law.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My paranoia finally paid off... I caught a spy. Yes its true.

Earlier today Momma opened the windows to let fresh air in. During my patrol of the lower quadrants and window, a strange intruder appeared.

I gave him a warning bark, and it alerted my brother and sister. We all yelled at him , telling him to go home but he wasn't listening. I growled and barked, this time momma looked outside.

He smiled innocently at Mom, a sneaky smile. She told him to leave and he went home. I know he left messages, we will read tomorrow.

Back to my patrol. Goodnight and godspeed!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday on my patrol of the outdoors, intruders were breaching the perimeters. Mom let Rudie and I outside, off the leash!

While I checked my Aunts tires for messages and left a few of my own, an overweight black lab appeared.

She was a tall, beautiful girl but kind of heavy. I heard rumor her owner had her fixed so she must of let herself go.

After sniffing her, I yelled at her to tell her I wasn't interested. I like tall chicks but she was too tall. I yelled to tell her to leave my yard.

She just stood there staring at me, smiling. I was still yelling when Mom snatched me up and took us inside.

Dad took her back home next door. She lives next door with an older lady and sometimes slips away from her. She's an older dog herself.

Afterwards we spent a quiet evening together until the storms started. We all hid but I got over my fear quick! How was your weekend?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ No Cooper, Cocoa does not like to be terrorized.

My first way to terrorize my sister is chasing her off the furniture. I wait until she's comfortable and ready to fall asleep & then I start barking and growling at her until she moves to let me have that spot.

I wait until she gets comfortable again and make her move again.

I don't really want the place on the furniture but don't want her to have it either. But I can do this for hours.

Another way to terrorize her is to bite on her legs. But this normally gets me into trouble. But its fun to hang on while she tries to walk.

Sisters can be fun.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ * BEEP BEEP BEEP* (the sound of dads alarm going off, 6:30 a.m.)

Grabs a squeaky toy and follows dad to the bathroom. If he happens to sit down there is no reason why he can't play fetch with me.

7:00- My first trip outside to piddle, followed by Rudie and Cocoa. I go out again after Cocoa to piddle where Rudie did.

7:20 plays fetch with dad while he gets dressed for work. Steals dad's socks and hides.

7:45 Dad leaves for work. I go back to bed with momma.

7:55 I'm lonely so time to wake mom up. Cleans moms ear when she turns her head I lick her mouth. She's awake *licks her cheek*

8:00 Convince Momma dad did not put me out by crying at the door. Mom puts me out again!

8:10-9:00 plays fetch, eats and drinks. Rudie and I go out again.

9:10 Sleeps on Mom's lap until 11:00

11:00 repeat of 7 A.M. Followed by some more food and fetch

12:00 P.M.-1:00 Terrorize Cocoa and check the tables out for things to steal. At 1 Rudie and I go out again. 

1:15-4 nap time near or on Momma . After nap repeat of 7 all 3 go out.

4:15-6 terrorize Cocoa, fetch and nap. At 6 Rudie and I go out again. Fetch afterwards.

7:00 P.M. Dads home from work so time for belly rubs and fetch.

After Fetch I go outside again and then check Dogster before eating dinner.
9:00 all three out again and bedtime.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Congratulations to all of today's Diary Picks, my friend Petey was one of the chosen five. Great job Petey.

I am just in from the outdoors. The evening piddle was okay but I miss the snow. The air is warm with a gentle breeze. Momma opened the windows to let clean fresh air in the house. 

Having the windows opened allowed me to communicate with the neighbors guarding their posts. They told me that no strangers have been seen trying to infiltrate my domain.

I do know lately my pawrents have been watching me when I go out for my nightly piddle. Dad is worried Coyotes might try to snatch one of his fur kids up. 

He doesn't want me to be a Coyotes midnight snack. Momma took Rudie & I out at the same time tonight. She sat on the step while we did our business. Afterwards she let Cocoa out so she could check for messages also.

I hope the threat of intruders is gone or if there is a real Coyote we catch him before total infiltration!

Good night sweet friends]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This past weekend Momma and my Aunt dressed me up to get St. Patrick's Day pictures. Momma said it was alright for me to wear green because she is part Irish and I am her son. So does that make me Irish?

I know I'm adopted and my ancestors came from Tibet but momma said it's okay for me to be Irish if I want to be.

Momma helped me post a lot of new pictures of me. My Aunt took close to 20 of me so I will try to get momma to post the others soon. My Aunt took close to 10 of my sister. She looks pretty but I'm the top model of this family.

I wonder if Tyra Banks would let me strut my stuff on the cat walk? Miss J would understand me better. Instead of calling it a "cat walk" I would like to see it called a "dog stroll". I would have to say no to the make-over though because why mess with perfection?

I am one handsome dude!

Good night Dear pups.

PS my brother refused to have more than one new picture taken.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a great weekend playing with my best friend Zayne and my new friend Eli. That little Chi (Eli) can use my puppy pad like nobody's business. 

We all piled on my Aunt last night while she slept making it a true sleep over.

This morning after we all enjoyed a drink and kibble, we played again. Zayne tried to play Piggy back ride with my sister but she wouldn't hold still. I tried to help him out but I'm a little guy myself so I wasn't much use. Eli didn't want no part of the game.

Can't wait until we can play again together. Next time maybe Mya bug can come too.

Life would be boring without good friends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Best est Friend Zayne is here this weekend. His newest Brother Eli (Maggie and Luke's son) is also here. I think I played with Eli more so far.

Eli is enjoying his first weekend of Food , Felony and Fun. I'm trying to teach the little guy to steal things. I demonstrated my techniques by searching my Aunt's overnight bag but she caught me.

I also showed Eli how to steal his own things from his carrier. Hope he finds the joy of hoarding his own treasure pile one day.

Time to go play dress up with Momma.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I needed extra reinforcements for support of the Buddha Buddha company so I called in Zayne for help. He's been with the First Crested Battalion since birth.

He only works in the warm climate so I thought he could help me patrol the lower quadrants of my domain. Inside so he can stay nice and warm. 

So tonight when he was helping me guard the domain he left his post. I found him in the kitchen, eating. This was not a approved break.

An approved break includes food, fetch and fun. Normally before and after a nap. Guard duty between the approved breaks. Well its nap time.

Night Dear Friends.

PS Zaynes mom brought me a new squeaky toy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ATTENTION * ABOUT FACE* WINDOW* BARK

Private Tzu Class Rocky reporting for duty. My investigation of the subject is complete. 

I have determined the culprit of the recent snowfall to be a nymph by the name of Jack Frost. He delivered the snow and then made it so cold the fresh fallen snow is hard like concrete. I went outdoors earlier to check the quality of the snow. 

Its cold on my feet and I'm unable to plow through it with my nose. So the fun quality is low for a little guy like me. I'm part Shih Tzu and love playing in the snow. 

I also heard there is a good possibility of a visit from a one, Mr Heat Miser. If he comes he will destroy the snow. I will keep you updated.

Signing off

PS I miss my friends Patch and Jack, hope they are okay! 

PSS my friend Zayne will be here in 3 days for a sleep over]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm back on duty after a great weekend of fetch and belly rubs. Plenty of kisses from mom and hours of getting my hair brushed. I wish there was more quantity but the quality time was awesome.

I resumed my patrol when Momma got up. She needs me close by when she sleeps for protection. She did enter a room or two today without me. I tried to alert her to let her know that I can't protect her if I'm not with her.

Rudie told me to stop crying, he misunderstands my mission to protect her. Tonight Momma is letting me patrol outside, a man named Jack Frost left his calling card, snow.

I don't know what his intentions are but I must investigate the snow.
Time to resume my patrol. Good Night and God Speed

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just enjoying my family today. Sunday is the only day our whole family is here.

Nowhere to go and Nothing to patrol. I like being a guard dog and early alarm system.

I hear things before anyone else does. Shih Tzu have excellent hearing.

It is said in Ancient Tibet, my ancestors were used to guard the much larger Mastiffs, because of our hearing. If a Tzu heard an intruder, it would bark to alert the mastiffs.

Our history is made of ancient legends and myths. 

One day I hope to hear more about my maltese ancestors but today I love being Shih Tzu.

I want to thank our new friends keighty and family for my new Diary pick picture.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today my patrol was uneventful. I checked the windows multiple times and searched the cat for contraband. He wasn't hiding anything, but I can't be certain without a full body scan.

He slapped me and said I was violating his rights. Cocoa said I violated her also. She ran past the security checkpoint so I was forced to detain her by biting her front leg.

Momma had to tell me to stand down because Cocoa told on me. 

I am now free to enjoy some time off. I plan to get some R & R this weekend in mom's lap. I might keep close to my domain as the intruder came back. I hear it outside saying whoooo.

I am Pvt Rocky of the Buddah company. I love playing soldier. I closely monitor the windows I can see out of. I am short so I use furniture to stand on for visibility. 

My main objective is to protect my family. I also like eating and sleeping. Fetch is one of my favorite indoor games. Mom is my real joy though.

In other news .... Today is my cousin Zayne's first Birthday. I would of called him my fur cousin but he has no hair. Mya Bugs 1st birthday is in March. We are the three puppyteers. That's all for now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just as I was taking a break from patrolling the lower quadrants of my domain, mom started to eat her dinner. Since I was on break, I tried giving her the Sad Eye Look to score me some of Mom's food but it wasn't working.

So I thought to myself, maybe Mom would make a fair trade for one of my hidden treasures...

Tennis Ball? Clothes Hanger? Clean Sock? Slipper? Squeaky Toy? Dirty Sock?

I decided against offering my most valued treasure, a dirty sock. She has a lot of hangers so that would not be a fair trade.

So I offered one of dad's slippers for an even trade. Its not really mine so what do I have to lose? I could always steal it back. A dirty sock is my most valuable treasure and if I trade that it would no longer be dirty when she puts it in the machine downstairs.

So I offered the slipper and she still would not share..mean Mom.

Back to my patrol unless I want to get assigned to KP duty..

To my friends and fellow soldiers, there is a predator on the premises.

While sleeping I heard the trespasser. It was saying ...whoooo , so I answer back...ruff grrrr ruff.

The trespasser responded with whooo,I answered back ruff ruff.

This went on most of last night and morning. When I got up it was Kaipo time. The trespasser said whoooo again when Dad let me out!

While listening for the sound, I seen there was a disturbance by the trees, the bare branches hitting other bare branches. But even though I keep hearing the trespasser I am yet to see it.

Whooo, there he goes again. Growls at the trespasser, I will find you.

I am signing off for the moment so I can look for the predator again.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I had a BATH and let me tell ya I could not have got better treatment at a 4 Paw Hotel.

My big brother thinks I am demented for my love of bathing, but cleanliness is a good thing. Mother knows if she don't give me regular baths I will bathe myself in the water bowls. I have done it before.

She runs a nice bath of warm water and let's me walk around the tub splashing water with my paws. She washes and conditions my hair carefully avoiding my eyes and ears. After a warm rinse she wraps me in a towel carefully drying me. 

When I am almost dry she brushes my hair and examines my nails, clipping some. When she's done I groom her, checking her ears before she makes me stop. She's funner to groom when she's asleep, she is less resistant to the washing.

After the grooming is complete I curl up on her lap to sleep.

Why go to a spa when I got momma to do it for me?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes Brudder, I will accept the mission to protect Momma. I secured all of the lower quadrants and now to make sure the parameters aren't breached.

*Main objective...protect Momma*

...Also need to secure the release of my Dad.

He was here earlier but he left with Mom. He did not return. When she returned she smelled funny.
 I don't recall the smell from places I been!

Reminds me of the smell of the floor after mom mops it. 

Momma barely escaped herself. I can smell the odor on her hands.

*i must make sure Mom doesn't disappear*

Mom told us the entity just wants to watch Dad to make sure his hearts okay.

His heart is not broken! He's expected to be home tomorrow, I miss him but I must protect Momma from intruders.

Time to secure quadrants again.

(Crunch) *gets on back of sectional*. Oh its just a car turning around in my driveway. *barks at the trespasser*

Time to patrol the parameter of my domain. *Runs to the front door* I'm too short to see out the door window! * barks at mom to open door. If she would just open the door I can see out!

*runs in kitchen* I'm too short to see out the window. *sniffs bottom of door before moving on* 

Yay I found a dirty sock by the bathroom door. (Makes mental note to steal it later. 

*hears the neighbors dog barking, barks back... Ruff ruff* I'm done patrolling, mother has the other doors shut and of the available windows I'm almost too short to see out of. The ONLY reason I Can see out of the windows is because of furniture placement.

*ruff ruff* have a great day friends!

*happily grabs the dirty sock* mine mine mine!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our local PoPo charged a man with assault of a police officer for the stabbing of Jeck.

He was not charged with property damage. He was charged with the same thing had Officer Jeck's human partner been stabbed.

By charging the man this way, its saying Jeck is just as important as the other deputies. I agree he is.

His duties are important and he risks his life everyday for us. Just because he doesn't carry a gun doesn't lessen his duties.

I hope the charges stick. Get Well Soon Officer Jeck.]]></content:encoded>

So Neutering is not a good thing. Momma assures me that some diseases can be prevented with Neutering. Plus I was told it would make me more lovable.

I am lovable! If mom does convince him, it will be done in July. I hope he continues to say no.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brudder and me got into it again. Dad came home from work and we were both trying to get some lovin' from him. I missed him and Rudie was just letting dad scratch him behind the ears way too much.

And he was hogging the belly rubs way too much. After a minute I flipped out. I tried to go behind dad's legs to let Rudie know I was mad, I bit dad by mistake, trying to get Rudie to let me get my share of loving.

I got passed Dad and kicked some tail. Now I hear some talk about a trip to the vet soon to loose my...well you know. Rudie has been snickering about it. 

I beg you Mom let me keep my dignity. Please mom, it took me a long time to grow these, I like 'em. Can't we talk about this!

Mom assures me I will be okay, that when I do go it will be for something called neutering. I am kind of relieved but I don't know what that means either.

Can anyone tell me what that means?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am one smart Dog, smarter than my siblings and smarter than my mom. Don't feel sorry for her, she was born blond after all. Think my grandfather was blond also but at 71 he's got all his marbles still.

In reality Rudie is blond. I'm not sure if he's "slow" or just LAZY. Cocoa is a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but she's a lovable nut. For instance if the water dish is empty they will lay down beside it, I look for water.

If they want something they will stare down momma, I look for ways to steal it myself. Heck with Momma.

Dad on the other hand figures me out quicker, he has darker hair. Well its just a thought.

Hugs From Rocky

PS Mother is up to Something!]]></content:encoded>

I try to poopy when Dad takes me out because he rewards me when I do both. And he says I am a good boy. Mom rewards me too but the rewards are better with dad.

I got to go out a lot in the snow, 7 times not including this morning. I played and played, hopping and burying my head.

Nothing better than white not yellow snow. Even Sammy played with me in the snow. I lost my rabies tag in it so hopefully when it thaws some Mom will find it.

To my friends up north, hope the snow doesn't get too deep for you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I would like to Thank You for allowing me to be one of Today's Diary Picks. I am honored and pleased that my plans for world domination by Shih Tzus is falling into place. 

I want to apologize for not writing much this weekend. We had a couple BobCats spend the day at our house yesterday. I think mother is full of it when she calls them cats. For one they don't smell like bobcats, second they don't look like bobcats. One just looks like my friend Nicholas to me.

Mom said they go to a place called Ohio University. Maybe that's where they turn boys into Bobcats. I dunno but as long as he don't get whiskers and try to chase me down he's fine.
I will never understand humans.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I want to sacrifice some of my quality time with Momma for more time with her. 

I only get to be by her 21 hours a day. The other 3 is for playing, eating, Dad and going to the Potty. I demand more time with her!

Even when I'm not near Momma I can still see her. She is mine, she belongs to me!

What really makes me mad is when my big brother Rudie cuts into my time with Momma for a belly rub. I am a companion dog, this is my job to be with her.

How many of my friends here take their job as companion as seriously as me?]]></content:encoded>

I was in the home of my skin parents, laying on momma as she slept. When momma woke up she took me outside, fed me and brushed me! Yay I really do have a servant!

My palace is wherever my momma is. So in a way I do feel like royalty. Life as a Tzu is good. One day I might learn more about my Maltese blood but for now I am happy being me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I brought a new toy to mom when she was sleeping. I jumped up in bed with my new chewy, in my mouth. I found it in the place mom doesn't let me in. The place where mom gives me a bath, the bathroom.

So I laid against mom's leg chewing away. Mom woke up and took my toy. She was not happy.

She got up and told dad about leaving the doors closed. She said I had a toilet brush. I seen the toilet and it doesn't have hair, so why did she care if I took its brush or not.

I wonder why she won't let me chew on it. She just isn't fun.

My first trip to the vet with Mom was bad. I got checked over, weighed and my shots. It was bad because I got shots.

My trip tp the groomer was badder. Mom left me there for a puppy clip. I cried and cried. A simple puppy clip took 3 hours. I bit the groomer when mom came back. I was not happy.

Two weeks after being groomed is when I suffered from toxicity.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not able to respond to comments so I will reply here..

My first name with the breeder was Jay. My canine mother is a maltese / shih tzu mix my canine father was all Tzu. He was undersized so I am smaller than a normal Tzu. I finally made it to 10# and I'm 2 inches too short.

When I was 7 weeks old I went to my first home. A 3 year old named me Rocky after the Bulldozer on Bob the Builder. 

After a few days I drove my first family crazy and they talked to dad about me living with him and momma. They talked about it and finally it was certain my forever home would be with them.

When I was 8 weeks old, I met momma. She is my life. I'm always with her. She's a good human making sure we stay healthy and happy.
In August when I got poisoned I almost died. Since then she is picky what does on us and in us. The poisoning was by accident because momma bought an OTC flea drop.

Patch I wish I could give you teeth. Your able to carrots? My under bite makes it hard to eat carrots. I love apples, bananas, water melon, cant elope etc.

what kind of supplements? Mom occasionally puts chicken broth in my water and gives me cottage cheese. She did that when I was sick from the toxicity.

Momma also has to watch the dog treats because I get choked easily.

As far as my teeth go, my Aunt thinks the Vet will remove the extra teeth when I get fixed. I have lost a few but still have extra teeth on the bottom.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Why was I born with this under bite? A few days ago when momma was cooking she was giving us bites of fresh veggies. Some veggies I can't chew!

Mom gave us Raw Hide candy canes that night. Which was a miracle because she never gives us rawhide, get choked once and she won't give it up now.

So my fur family is chewing on the rawhide while I'm trying to chew mine. I'm laying by Momma enjoying my treat when Rudie comes to her for a head scratch.

Oh he went too far so I leaped at him. Dad pulled Rudie back thinking he was the aggressor. I went after him again.

I felt 9 inches tall and bullet proof, I might be tiny but I have attitude.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Aunt gave my Mom a book about Shih Tzu since I am 3/4 Tzu. By appearance I can pass for a pure breed. 

Mom has learned so much already about me. Now since she has a book she constantly refers to it especially regarding grooming.

According to the book I should only have 1 bath a month. To me bathing is like a trip to a spa, the more baths the better.

The only part of grooming I don't like is getting my nails trimmed and teeth brushed.

I currently have a couple extra teeth on bottom. My second set of canines (baby teeth) recently fell out. For 6 months I had 2 sets on top.

No Patch I'm not bragging! I wish Santa would bring you teeth.

Until Mom read this book she was not aware that Tzu sometimes has early tooth loss. With good diet and vet care a Tzu can live 12-18 years. So how many years with no teeth?]]></content:encoded>

Mom let me have ham and yams, it was quite tasty. Mom even gave me a small bite of cheesecake. Mom didn't think it would hurt us as it was not listed in the poison food list.  It was great.

After dinner mom let us have our rawhide candy canes. My Aunt put them in our stocking. 

Bet your wondering if I got my Christmas wish. Yes, yes I did. It was a white Christmas. Mom let me out first so I could play in fresh snow. Was fun to run it and smelled so clean & fresh.

I did send Santa a second note asking for teeth for my new friend Patch. Hope everyone had a great holiday.]]></content:encoded>

Tonight mom spent most of her time dicing and slicing, mashing and mixing. I'm not complaining because she let me sample good things, egg whites and boiled chicken. 

The best thing that happened today I was one of today's Diary picks. And I made some new friends. I met a new Tzu today that kind of looks like me. Patch was also a diary pick, very handsome indeed.

Time to drift off to Tzu land and hope Santa brings me snow. Merry Christmas to all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Santa,
I have been good lately. I don't steal things like I used to. I admit I still can't resist shoes, socks and toilet paper but I swear I do try to resist.

Its hard to resist these things but I try to be a good boy. Honest I am a good boy.

I have already got some new toys and a blanket so the only thing I want is fresh snow.

We have snow already but its hard and I love to play in it. I like the snow when it looks like tiny grains of sugar.

Its fun to hop around in it and to put my nose in it, throwing the snow around as I play in it.

Throwing it around so much it covers my back and face. So please bring me snow because I am a good boy.


Love,
Rocky Tzu Collins]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We all had fun this weekend. My Aunt brought my best friend Zayne for a sleep over.

We ate fun snacks played and unwrapped gifts from my aunt. Santa left a beautiful pink and gray sweater for my sister Cocoa.

For my brother Rudie was a new collar and leash. I got a new blanket to nap on.

For my feline brother Sammy was canned food. He had asked Santa Paws for Mice but santa thought the food might be better than trying to gift wrap mice.

In our stocking was rawhide candy canes, tennis ball and squeaky ball.

My Aunt also made us peanut butter bone shaped cookies and carob and bacon bit fudge. It was delish.

My Aunt got momma a book for Christmas called Shih Tzu for dummies. I'm kind of confused about the book. Is she saying mom is a dummy? Or I'm a dummy? Is it for me to read or her?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My best friend is coming tomorrow for our sleep over. This is the first time Zayne has been here since September.

We are going to play in the snow so hope my aunt doesn't forget his coat. Inside we will eat good things and treats. We will play ball and dress up.

We will chase each other and wrestle. Before napping happily together.

Zayne likes to clown around and does flip flops. I hope he will teach me how to do that also.

I wish all my pals could sleep over sometime.

I hope I can get him out in the snow to play. He is bald but if he's wearing a coat he should be okay.

This is our first sleep over since grandma's heart attack.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma was surprised to see I was one of today's Diary Picks. Yesterday Diary of the Day.

Thank You once again

_____ __

Sample conversation between Aunt and a Liar


Liar: I would like to buy 2 puppies from you, a male and a female. One from each litter.

Aunt: My puppies have the same father and the females are already sold.

Liar: Oh I wasn't going to breed them, I just wanted 2 for companions. My pomeranians just died.


2 days later...

Liar: I decided to buy 2 chinese crested instead...


A week later...

Liar: I did not know my female was in heat until I caught her with my male. She's pregnant

Aunt: Can you e-mail me a picture of the crested?

Liar: I can't because my computer is messed up.

Aunt: How much are you going to sell your Chinese Crested Puppies for?

Liar: I don't know because I never bred dogs before. Do you have any males left?

You Mam are a Liar. The computer that was messed up magically updated itself the morning after she purchased Zeus. The liar has a website that has 2 litters of black poms for sale. Both born in November. She also has 2 pregnant pomeranians. A pregnant Chinese Crested. She has several pugs and now 2 Chihuahua, but no she is not a breeder. Liar Liar !

She also claims Zeus has papers. My Aunt although can state parentage does not register her dogs because she sells them as companions.

Liar Liar!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its hard to believe on the 18th will mark my first year with Momma.. Santa brought me a year earlier for momma's Christmas present from Dad.

Momma knew she was getting me but did not see me until I was put in her arms and she was in love.

Dad and Momma discussed getting me for over a week before it was clear, that I was indeed wanted. The first time I laid my face by her face , I was in love and knew she would be mine.

I did not arrive in a sleigh and Santa's first name was Greg. And Mrs. Clause first name is Shawnda. 

Merry Christmas Momma!]]></content:encoded>

Since it does not contain corn, wheat or soy, everything in it is good for us. Dad also bought it in the puppy formula which has more calories.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For the last week it has been very cold in Ohio so mom has been keeping sweaters on me.

Mom figured out that I was getting cold even though my hair is long. During the night I been sleeping under her comforter next to her.

My mom thought I was just being clever to get near her but I'm cold. My aunt explained to her that its like a human going outside in the cold without a hat on. Even if you have long hair its no protection against the cold.

And Shih Tzu's hair is like hair not fur. I spend a majority of my life indoors but mom has been putting a coat on me when I go outdoors to play in the snow.

To all of my friends who live outdoors or have outside family members please remind your skin parents to provide protection from the cold.]]></content:encoded>

I like to steal and hide things but this time I am. Innocent. Blaming me for his carelessness is unjust. 

Well anyways he was getting ready to leave for work and could not find his keys. By the look on his face I knew instantly he was thinking I stole the keys.

After doing the search of tables, bed and counters. He started checking in and under furniture and my usual hiding spots but alas no keys.

After searching for a half hour he remembered where he put the keys with no apology to me *sighs. I will remember this and steal the keys next time.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma abandoned me 2 days in a row. Saturday she went to a place called Grove City. They had a party to celebrate my grandpa's 71st birthday, so he was 497 this year. The next day momma left me again she went to Zayne's house.

For my safety, since there is baby puppies in the house, Momma left me at home. Mothers with young pups will be defensive and become hostile to dogs that don't live there.

My Aunt and mom, mostly my aunt made a cool picture of all of the Collins Tribe in one picture. It is currently Our primary pictures and she plans to get it printed.

In a week or so Momma is going to dress me up as Santa Paws and my Aunt will dress Zayne up to do our picture together.

Will let you see it when its done. My suit is a Small and his x-small. Well back to laying on mom's lap.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you haven't noticed already, my picture changed. My Fall picture that was made by Dayzee is safely tucked away online in an album until next September.

The newest picture itself is very recent. Just taken this morning. Yes he really is that big.

Mother tried to capture him grooming me. I think he was tasting me but Sammy assured me it was just a lick.

I hope he was telling the truth...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The sun was shining with a slight breeze. Not too hot, not too cool. Comfortable and nice, I went outside a few times.

Momma got up early and loved on all of us. She threw my yellow monster a few times for me to bring back. I love playing Fetch but its funner making the humans bring things back.

All day long I would sample that Pedigree goodness and mom gave us a little macaroni and cheese. It was yummy! Other than fries it is one of my favorite foods.

Momma's friends came over this evening so that meant extra attention. After my dinner of Cesar Chicken Primavara, mom washed my face and gave me a complete brush out. 

How was your day?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Pit Bulls and Parolees:

During one of my visits to Zaynes house, I got to watch the show pit bulls and Parolees. We don't have cable but soon we should be able to watch on our huge TV.

This wonderful lady is saving lives that would otherwise be destroyed.

Pit bulls have gotten Bad Raps because of bad owners. She is an expert in the breed and is saving lives.

Momma and me read her Biography to see how she started. What is really amazing is her ranch can house anywhere from 150-250 dogs. She currently has 225 dogs and only places 10 a month.

She is picky and investigates those wanting to adopt a pit bull to make sure the dogs aren't put back into bad situations. 

She did this for many years out of the spotlight before Animal Planet. What's more amazing is the food cost for the dogs. According to the Biography its over 20,000+ a month.

Pit bulls are not for everyone and need consistent training. Any dog is capable of biting. Don't punish the breed for the actions of a few dogs.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My day started before 6 A.M. Daddy is still on the old time. So it might take him a few more days to adjust to the time change.

While Dad had Cocoa and Rudie outside, he fed me Cesar dog food. Momma and dad give me Cesar every day as a supplement to the Pedigree small bites. After enjoying my breakfast and a trip outside I decided to go back to bed.

I took my yellow monster squeaky toy with me and laid it by momma's head just in case she wanted to play when she woke up. Well as she slept I squeezed the yellow monster as quiet as I could.

Squeak squeak SQUEAK, uh oh the monster woke Momma up on purpose! She got up and the rest of us went back to sleep.

What a lazy day today is...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 1. Make sure the human is sleeping.
2. Jump up at the feet, walking slowly towards the humans face. If they start to wake up from the movement lay down quickly and pretend you are asleep. When they doze back off to sleep continue your walk to their face.
3. Slowly start to lick their cheek and chin. If they start to wake up pretend you are asleep again.
4. After the cheek and chin are washed, proceed to the exposed ear. Licking gently behind the ear. 
5. Once the cleaning is complete, lay your cheek against the humans and enjoy sharing a nap together.


I normally curl up on mom's shoulder with my cheek against hers...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma will be going away on November 13 for my human grandfather's Barkday. He will be 71 soon, that's 497 in dog years. I don't know why she will be traveling so far when he lives so close.

That means , I will need a sitter because this trip I can't take with her. My usual sitter is my human grandpa or my Aunt, which she will be going also. She will be 100 miles from me, it might as well be a million.

I have never been away from her for more than a few hours. I just don't know if I can function without her. Oh Momma don't leave me...]]></content:encoded>

Since I couldn't get outside I decided to groom momma. She was sleeping but I thought her face needed washed. So I started on her right cheek and her chin. When she started waking up she turned her head allowing me to clean behind her ear.

After I was done washing Momma I curled up by her neck and went to. Sleep.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My sister is in trouble. Yes its true she got grounded today. Earlier when my Grand Pappy stopped by, mother tried to go out and we all ran. I was almost 3 yards away before Pappy got me to come back. Rudie never left the yard because he was marking Pappy's tires.

Cocoa kept on going and going, she's a Sprinter and even a Gray Hound would be impressed with her speed. She's really fast and there is NO WAY I could keep up with her. That's the real reason I went back.

Mother caught Cocoa playing in the road and every time Momma approached her Cocoa ran. She almost got hit by 2 cars!

After 2 hours Cocoa came home and OMD did she stink. I don't know what nasty dead animal she rolled in. She had to take a bath to get rid of that smell. As an added bonus to Cocoa getting in trouble, I got a bath and a full brush out.

Life is great!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma left me again today for a few hours. But she made it up to me. Dad noticed recently the bigger dogs (Rudie & Cocoa) have been hogging the Pedigree Small Bites. And because I eat a little bit at a time the bowls empty quickly. So mom got Cesar dog food just for me. Dad filled both of the big bowls up with pedigree and Rudie plus the Cat shoved me out of the way.

What's really messed up the Cat has his own food and is fed high up so we can't eat his food but he eats ours. Momma is convinced Rudie is over eating to keep me from eating. So I am now fed seperatly from him and Cocoa. Mom is thinking also I am 10 lbs now! Still undersized but at least normal now.

She did bring home some fries for us and a Santa outfit for me. Size small. Goodnight all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh the unjust revelation that I was abandoned today. Today momma left with dad, thinking to myself when they left that she would be back in a few minutes. But that was not to be as a few minutes turned into hours. Several hours to be exact.

Momma actually left me at home. Why did she leave me and where did she go? I would get my answers if she ever returned and when she did come home with a quick sniff I knew!

She went to my Aunts house and was with Zayne. Normally she takes me with her. So that's the mystery, why didn't she take me this time? After a full sniff down I laid in her lap as she loved on me.

I will keep an eye and nose out for future events.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My answer is the LAP. If your a small dog nothing beats the lap. Its warm and if there is extra padding , comfortable. Laying in the lap has its benefits. Your skin parent will stroke you smoothing your fur as you sleep. 

The next best place is the hip or thigh, especially if your human is laying down as the lap disappears. The reason why your close enough to be warm and the humans can still pet you. 

Bigger dogs can make use of this also and go for the lap. All dogs need closeness and security. Well off to find me a lap.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ French Fries Are the Bomb! Momma has been eating fries a lot lately and since she never salts anything she has been sharing her fries with me. She normally feeds them to me one by one, sometimes lightly dipping them in ketchup. Allowing me to lick the ketchup off so it doesn't stain my hair before presenting me with the french fry. 

She calls me her "little fry guy" because of my love of the tasty french fry. And believe it or not I found something tastier than ketchup its called Honey Mustard. It brings out the taste of the fries.

Momma won't allow me to have anything if it has a lot of salt or taste salty to her. Father loves salt and mother won't allow him to share with me if its too salty but he does once in awhile when her back is turned.

Me wants more fries...]]></content:encoded>

There's only one person I love as much as my pawrents and that is my Aunt Amy!

And what's great about going to my Amy's house you ask? My bestest friend Zayne and Mya Bug live there. We played for hours and after harrassing all the Chihuahuas I was ready to go home. I slept in momma's lap all the way home. What a beautiful day I had.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since coming to live with Momma, she has educated herself by researching my breeds. By appearance I look like a Shih Tzu, momma knew nothing about either of my breeds before me. I claim the Maltese side of my family even though I show no indication I am anything but Tzu. For instance my Under-bite, until momma researched the breed she thought something was wrong with my mouth. She soon found out this is common in Tzus BOL. I could of told Momma that if she just asked me. What fascinates her the most is all but 7 pairs of Shih Tzus was destroyed and that every Tzu or Tzu Hybrid can be traced to the 7 pairs. BOL, before I forget Momma entered me in the Dog and Cat show on dogster. Please Vote for me. Mom has already voted for many groups.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I got older, yes its my bark day! I am a 1 year old. I don't feel any older than I did yesterday. Maybe tomorrow I just might feel older. Today momma put my blue sweater on me that was a present from my Aunt Amy. She gave it to me a few weeks ago. My momma and dad took me outside to play and gave me special things to eat. My human Aunt Missy got me 6 bags of treats, 3 bags of Casers Filet Mignon (yummy) some turkey and apple treats, Casers savory Chicken and 2 bags of Beniful treats. Yummy treats for my belly!! I had a great day.]]></content:encoded>

If you're on Facebook visit this page. "I am a dog, not a thing. I want to give and receive love. I am not property to be discarded." That was a quotation from the article.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As I said a couple weeks ago mommy decided to let my hair grow again. It was long until July and when she took me to see a groomer, she had my hair cut short. Really too short if you ask me, he even took the clippers to my feet and the base of my tail. My hair is starting to grow back  and I will probably get my first top knot by Christmas. I love wintertime and Christmas and snow. Having long hair has its benefits because it keeps me warmer. Will have mommy take pictures of my first top knot. Me and my fur family would like to thank DAYZEE and her humom for the beautiful fall pictures.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is the fourth season of my life. My bark day is in 12 days. I am almost 1 year old. I am still so little and will never be any bigger. My dad says I am vertically challenged, I guess he's trying to say I am short. I'm not that short, I am taller than a chihuahua, just barely taller. And the cat looks like an amazon next to me and outweighs me by 6 lbs. Yes I'm short but I'm cute. Yes I'm the runt of the family but I'm the baby. I will always be the smallest member of our fur family but what's bad being the smallest?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tasting chocolate for the first and ONLY time was a mistake my parents won't make again. It happened so quickly and my mom acted even faster I didn't get a chance to swallow. I learned at just 3 months old the best place to sit to get human food, at dad's feet.he's always willing to share and he's a messy eater, so he's always dropping things. One evening a few months ago he was eating chocolate and dropped his candy bar by accident. I grabbed it fast and started to run. Before I knew it dad came across the table fast but mom already had me, getting the chocolate out of my mouth. Well dad ended up breaking the table when he came across it. The chocolate was divine but I now know I'm not allowed to have it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Had a busy day keeping an eye on Mom. Started the day relieved that the boggeyman did not kidnap her while I slept on her pillow. He can't bother her if I am around. He must be afraid of me grrrowl. Then mom and dad disappeared and did not offer to take me with them. I paced and paced, worried about her safety not knowing where my mom was. I heard the truck pull up and was so HAPPY to see Mom was home. I jumped into her arms sniffing to see where she had been and I smelled Chihuahuas and garlic, so that means one thing she went to grandmas house! How could she not take me to see Zayne?                                                                   Mom decided to take a bath, so I had to patrol the bathroom. Her safety and the drain in the tub might make her disappear. I did check for new rolls of toilet paper and to see what I could steal from the trashcan. Always keeping an eye on her. Well afterward she laid down and I laid in her arms. Watching mom is a full time job I will never give up. How was your day?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has been teaching me tricks lately without bribes. I will sit for Mom and only mom. When Mom says speak I bark once. I only listen to her and only if I am in the house. Outside I like to run and love ignoring her. Dad is in charge outside so I go to him. We have a huge yard so every evening Rudie and I go out to play with dad. We get to run for an hour and I chase Rudie. One day my short legs might let me catch up but until then I will have fun trying!]]></content:encoded>

I have no ideal why her heart was attacked but she is better now! The best part of going to Grandmas is getting to see my chihuahua cousins and Zayne. We played and played for hours Zayne, Drummer, Mya and me! Mya is a grouchy little thing because she plays hard like the rest of us but when she's done playing she gets really mean! I guess being that little if she isn't mean others might take her for granted. I also got to visit with Digger but he sleeps a lot but he was pleased he was today's Diary Pick of the Day! I slept all the way home. How was your day?]]></content:encoded>

Sometimes I slap it with my feet, but something strange happens. My toy gets smaller and smaller! And if I let it stay in one place it leaves a wet spot. After a few minutes more my toy is smaller yet again. I pick it up one more time and it vanishes. I don't know where it went to so will log off now to search for it!]]></content:encoded>

So she is going to call my Vet to find out about it to find out how it works and if it would be safe for me. I WAS POISONED AND RIGHT NOW MOM IS UNSURE IF IT IS SAFE. Or if would be too much for my body to take. She is also giving us garlic to try to get rid of my guest. Will let you all how it works.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my story. My mom noticed some fleas on me and my brother, so she sent dad to town so he bought SARGENTS GOLD. My mom and Zaynes mom carefully read the packaging before applying it to cocoa and then me, Rudie hid but they got him an hour later. So Zayne and I started to play and got some of the SARGEANTS GOLD Flea and Tick drops in his mouth. And then an hour or so later the painful pins and needles started and I could not hold still or sleep. Every time I would doze off to sleep the pins and needles would jerk me awake. In the middle of the night the heavy drooling began and was foam by morning, pins and needles in my mouth. My mom was soaked from the drool. My mom woke dad up and after re-reading the box, dad fed me while mom looked for information online. There was no doubt about it, I was suffering from toxicity and since Zayne came in contact with me he was also suffering. Mom was unable to get ahold of my Dr so she contacted a vet at Sargeants who advised mom what to do. Zaynes mom was giving me sugar water by the spoonful because I was severely dehydrated and by this time unable to drink from the bowl by myself. And walking was becoming more difficult. Zaynes mom held me and kept scratching my back so I could finally sleep. She also bathed me in Joy dishwasing to remove the SARGEANTS GOLD from my neck. Once the poison was removed 4 baths later I was able to rest and started to feel better. Mom had Dad feed me cottage cheese and pork rinds to increase my thirst and gave me & Zayne Chickbroth/water to drink to help us with our dehydration. We are both fine now with little damage, my siblings had no adverse reactions to the SARGEANTS GOLD. Mom will never purchase any of their products or allow any of these products to be used on us. Thankfully my aunt amy was here to help Mom with me or I would not be here. There is so many stories out there as mine from many families but their outcome was sad because of SARGENTS AND HARTZ PRODUCTS. Mom used the correct dose for my weight and was applied direction perfect and I almost died, mom will never use this again. oh and after all this the Sargeants Gold did not kill the fleas on any of us.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My babies have fleas so sent my husband to town to get something to provide relief. He bought SERGEANTS GOLD, after carefully reading the box , we applied the product to all three dogs. Rudie and Cocoa are fine and still have fleas but Rocky isn't. About one hour after applying the product Rocky became restless, unable to sleep. About 2 a.m. he began to foam at the mouth and heavily drool. At 7 a.m. Rocky had his first of four baths. We got Rocky to drink and eat. I went to google to find out more information regarding SARGENTS GOLD products. The first thing I found was an article about a Chihuahua with the same symptons as Rocky and about the longlasting effects because of SARGEANTS GOLD. He was so dehydrated so we tried calling his Vet and we did call the Sargeant hotline and after providing information we were advised what to do by an onsite Vet. Give Rocky water with chicken broth or tuna water. For the itching vitamin E oil on the application site. A bag of frozen peas to ease the area. Also bath him in dishwashing liquid. So he has had 4 baths in less than 12 hours. The longlasting effects we don't know yet but if you cherish our babies as we do Never Ever use SARGEANTS' PRODUCTS OR SARGEANTS GOLD. It's not worth the harm it can do.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ DIARY SUBJECT I almost thought I was a goner, on my way to that bridge in the sky. For the second time in my short life , I got choked. My mom was eating a pork chop and all I had to do was give her that look. Finally she broke off a piece of that meaty goodness and I quickly scarfed it down. Then I felt like something was caught in my throat and I could not breath. Mom seen me trying to cough it out and she picked me up. With her finger she dislodged it. She saved me! And because of choking, no more human food for me. Jack, you are so right , she is smarter than she looks. And I am glad she is.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The day started out as usual, dad cursing because I removed the insoles from his shoes. As he got ready to leave for work. The cursing started again, his keys were missing. So he woke up Mom to help him find the keys. They looked in and under furniture, room to room. Finally mom suggested to dad to look outside. So out he went. He looked under the truck, by the truck and walked our whole yard with no luck. After 3 hours of searching dad gave up and called in to work. And Mom decided to go back to bed. As she pulled the blanket guess what she found? The keys! Watching them search the house like lunatics was fun. Seeing the look on dad's face PRICELESS!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a great weekend I had!!! My best friend Zayne came to stay the weekend, my mom and Zaynes mom got weird things done to their hair, plus they let me scrapbook with them. I have had two awful weeks, starting with a trip to the vets. That mean man gave me a shot or two. He called them vaccinations, I call them owwwwwwwww. Zayne thought he was going to support me and he got a shot too!!!

 Then mom took me to a place called a groomer!!
Mom said I had to have a haircut, oh and cut he did. He even cut my hair on my feet! I did try to let him know not to take some off my head but he would not listen to me. I cried and cried and finally had to let him know I was so dissatisfied. 
So I was happy it was mom getting groomed this weekend and not me. I did get to steal things this weekend so all was good.

Things I stole this week: The groomer's comb, some pictures, a scrapbook page, an article of Aunt Amy's clothing, a glue stick, dad's sock, a shoe and Mom's heart.]]></content:encoded>
