		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A few weeks ago my woman left and came back with a 5-lb. bag of ground frozen green tripe.  I don't eat ground meat but she said this was OK since I'd just be getting a little mixed in with my joint supplements.

Anyway, she let me sniff it and it smelled so good that I knocked it out of her hands, the top of the bag opened and I started munching on it with my grooming teeth.

I got to eat on it for awhile too!  Then my woman took it into the kitchen and started bagging up little portions of it.

She said she got it from the co-op because she could order it by the bag instead of having to get 25, 40 or 50 lbs. of it.
I like the co-op.  So far I've gotten elk meat, deer meat, lamb kidney, lamb liver, calf ribs, lamb ribs, lamb shoulder roasts and tripe from them.  Everything except the calf ribs and tripe is stuff my people can eat too.  But they would ruin everything by cooking it!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I went to the vet yesterday.  I was very excited to go for a ride and I was very excited to go in and say hi.  I was not excited to go into the exam room and I made my escape while everyone tried to get me into the back.

I saw the vet I saw in December.  That visit she looked at a bump on my hip and stuck a needle in it to see what was in it.

I liked her and my people really liked her because she didn't care about my prey model raw diet and thought it was "brilliant" that my people had me "titered" instead of jabbing me with a needle last year.

I liked her this year too.  The vet called be gorgeous, said I was at a fantastic weight, my ears were wonderfully clean, and my teeth looked very good.  She also called me "Chaunce", my people say it's because she's British!!!  I think it makes me sound fancy when she says my name like that.

I was there yesterday for something called "junior wellness."
Not sure what that is but they stuck a needle attached to a tube in me and stole my blood!  They also took some of my poop which I think is gross.  People are so weird!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's almost Dogmas.  I put up colored lights and a tree (in the house!) and have buried stuff under the tree!!!!!!

I got my 1st gifts too.  The women who give me massages gave me a squeaky flea and a hedgehog I can eat after my massage yesterday!  I buried the hedgehog in the house and have been grooming the squeaky flea.

I went to the vet last week because my woman found a lump on my leg.  The vet was really nice and she stuck a needle in the lump.  We waited a while and the nice vet came back out and said there was nothing bad in what came out.  My people check it every day.
This has been my healthiest year ever.  I've only been to the vet for my annual exam and to have the lump looked at!]]></content:encoded>

I've gotten 2 professional massages from Rubi and have a 3rd one scheduled with a different person.  Rubi set it up because she's going to be in Utah at some place called Best Friends Animal Society.
I love getting massages.  It helps too that I LOVE Rubi!!!

Wednesday I went back to vet rehab.  I only had 2 issues to work on and I go back in a few weeks for a recheck.  My people think I had no real issues because they took me to a chiropractor.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm going to be a beach bum for Halloween.

My woman wanted me to either be "The Piddler," like Batman's "The Riddler" but with peeing dogs instead of question marks on the costume, or my superhero persona "Farty Puppy."  Farty Puppy prevents crime using noxious fumes.  
But I won't wear anything on my head and my woman said both of those costumes would require a mask to protect my identity.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been raw fed for over 6 months now.  Still doing really good and my woman is finding good deals on food for me.  She even found pig brain and spleen for me to try.
I'm eating beef, pork, chicken, lamb, rabbit, turkey, salmon, kidney and liver.

My friend Faith stayed with me last Saturday while her people moved out of the house they were renting into a house they bought.  We had a good time and played a lot.  I even let her sleep on my bed with me.  I usually eat the face of any dog that tries to get up on my bed!
She moved from just down the street to a few blocks away so we'll still be able to play together.

I was busy over Labor Day and helped my people do a LOT of stuff.

My people think I may have done something to my back over Labor Day because I started doing the stuff I did when my friend Maxi hurt my back last year.
I was in pain last week and my woman tried to get me in to see the rehab vet.  But she was booked until October 3.
I was feeling better so we walked down to talk to a friend to get the number of the back doctor they use for their dogs.
My woman called him and he said he could see me on Wednesday.  He's an hour away.
The Monday after that a woman is going to come massage me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ At the end of June, my people took me back to Montana for vacation!  I was gone for 17 days and stayed in a house in the mountains!  I saw moose and deer and antelope and chipmunks and bunnies!  I got to explore places I had never been, saw old friends and played in snow and swam a lot!  
I drove through a CATTLE DRIVE - best. day. ever!!!!!!!!!!!

There are pictures from my trip on my website!
http://puppybutt.weebly.com/

After we got home, I got to help take care of my BFF and his roommate.  Their people went out of town and needed someone to keep them company for 1 night.  I was hoping they could spend the night at my house but my BFF got scared after being away from home for not even 2 hours!

Then after that the people named "Mom" and "Dad" came to stay with us again.  They sleep in my room!  I like them because they let me give them lots of kisses!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday my man stayed home from work and after lunch, we got into my Kia and my woman drove like we were going to the pool.  
But they didn't bring my pool toys and they kept saying we were going to some other place.

We got to this place that was kind of like a vet but didn't smell like a vet.  The people were really nice and said I was very pretty and very sweet.

We were there for a while talking to a woman and then she came out with another woman and they had a couple of things they laid down on the floor to make the floor soft for me.
Then the vet came out and I ran around the lobby with my people and then she started feeling my parts and moving my legs and neck.

I didn't really like that.  Then we went and sat on the cushy stuff and she made me lay down and started messing with me some more.  
She kept saying stuff I didn't understand and doing stuff that made me feel weird.  But it also felt good after a while.  She did stuff to me for a very long time.
She showed my people how to do some stuff to me and then she went off to the back room.

Then the woman who was the 1st one to talk to my people came back out, gave them some papers, showed them how to do the same stuff and I got to leave.

My woman told me that when my Rottie friend pushed on my hip in November, she made my back funky.  The vet made my back unfunky and now my people have to do stuff to me every day to help my muscles learn how to relax again and make me stretch my body parts out so I'll feel like new again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My woman told me today that in just over a week I go to a special vet that does something called "rehab."

My Rottweiler friend hurt my hips in November and my bad left hip has been slow in getting back to normal.

I am going to get checked out so the vet can decide if I need her to show my people how to do special things to me to keep my hips good.
My woman said this vet may even say I should have a vet do special things to me.

I already swim for 45 minutes every other week at a doggy pool that has warm water.  That's really fun!!!!
My woman said this place has a pool but it isn't for fun.  If they say I need more swimming, I would go there during the weeks I don't go to the fun pool.  The vet place takes half the time to get to.

My woman said we'll be there for 2 hours so I hope I don't get bored!

My woman is getting nervous and obsessing over the paperwork we need to take.  I think she's happy with what she's printed out to take.  She printed it and put it in a big envelope tonight!

She says we have to go to my old vet clinic, the one where our favorite vet works, and pick up some x-rays.  We are going to go on a Monday because that's the day the vet works.  That way I can give her all kinds of doggy kisses!]]></content:encoded>

A couple of weeks ago, some people came and took the round thing in my garage.  My people said it was a "water heater."  

Don't know what that is but it had started to pee on the floor, a LOT!  We had to open the garage door a little to let the water run out.  That was a Saturday night.  My people did something to it to make it stop peeing.

Monday the people came and they put a new round thing in it's place.  I told it NOT to pee on the floor or it would have to go away too!]]></content:encoded>

My people found me the PERFECT vacation rental home for next year's summer vacation.
This year's summer vacation wasn't so great because we had to stay in a motel room for almost 2 weeks and cook meals in the microwave.

It's only a couple of miles out of town where we stay, it has a lot of land for me to run on and is far enough away from other houses that I won't get all scared when people shoot off fireworks.
I really don't like fireworks!

We need your help because the property is for sale and if someone buys it before our vacation, they don't have to let us stay there.

I would appreciate good thoughts, vibes, prayers, mojo, etc. you could send our way so I can stay in my dream vacation home.]]></content:encoded>

		<title>I Was Abducted By Aliens At The Vet Office!</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So January 31 I became the victim of an alien abduction while at the vet office!  I remember being fine when I got there then the vet gave me a shot that really stung.  I started to get sleepy.
I remember bright lights and voices!  There was anal probing and things that made whirring sounds.  When I woke up, I was missing some fur on my side and had some stitches!
I called the FBI and asked for agent Mulder.  They said he wasn't real.  Obviously it's a conspiracy!
Trust no one!  The truth is out there!

---------------------------
On Jan. 31, Chance had a small lump removed from her shoulder.  Her vet felt it was a papilloma but we had it sent out for testing anyway.  Those results came back today and it was just a papilloma with clean margins so it won't grow back.

Chance also had either another UTI or the same one from November.  We had a culture done to make sure the right antibiotic was used.  We asked for a longer antibiotic course so Chance will be taking Baytril for 3 weeks instead of just 10 days.

Her vet also noticed she has a mildly recessed vulva and wanted us to see a specialist, have her bladder scoped and probably have vulva surgery to correct this.  
Yesterday, we saw another vet who has done 3 of those surgeries for a 2nd opinion.  After reviewing her records and looking at her vulva, he didn't see a need for anything other than keeping her vulva clean.  She also got a little bikini trim to help her vulva get more air.  She's a very hairy dog!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've gotten to go swim in a pool twice in the past month!  I love to swim.  The water's really warm though, I wish it was colder!  I usually swim in water that is around freezing and this water is like 90 degrees.  But it is really fun.  I get to retrieve my dummy toy and everything!
My people say I get to go swim at the end of the month again!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I helped my people work on the storage shed attached to the side of the house on Saturday.  Boy are they slow - they've been working on the thing forever!  They keep saying they can't work in the rain and we've been having a lot of it this month.  I decided they really need my help so I keep trying to climb the ladder.  I also played in my pool, dug in my dirt pile, played ball, played with my best friend (the Whippet across the street), went for a long walk, played with friends in the park, played with my cat friend and chased squirrels Saturday when I wasn't helping.  
Sunday I took my man for a 4-hour walk and played with friends.  It was raining so we didn't do any work on the shed.  My one friend came over and as they were leaving, she slipped her collar and ran off so we had to help catch her.  She loves to run from her woman but she also loves food so we got her back with a bag of Charley Bear Treats.  We also helped her woman fit the collar so it wouldn't come off again.  I got to play with my best friend too - we were wild!!!

Today I slept way in - all the way until 7:00 a.m.  
Tonight the weather was nice so I got to play in my pool.  Now my people make sure I get up every 90 minutes to go pee after I play pool because I drink a lot of water, play really hard then fall into a deep sleep.  I've had some problems where I don't wake up when I need to pee after playing pool and I've wet my bed.  I get so embarrassed!  They lost track of the time and when they woke me up to go pee after 2 hours, I'd leaked a little.  My woman stayed up really late steam cleaning my foam bed and washing my bed cover for me.  I was really upset over having an accident even though I didn't get in trouble.  My woman says we're going to do something really fun tomorrow to make up for them losing track of the time.

My woman made me a blanket and I love it.  It's really soft and has dog bones and paw prints on it.  She made it big enough that we can snuggle up under it together.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think I remember what that stuff coming down outside is called! Rain, I think!!!  It hasn't rained here since I went to Montana.  Maybe now I can start digging for gophers again.  My people say it's been too dry because getting a nose full of the dusty-dry dirt aggravates my allergies. 

I've been playing with my Dogster pal Solace a lot lately.  She's really cool.  My best friend's people are out of town so I don't get to play much with him because the people taking care of him are afraid to let him off leash.

I got a blackberry thorn stuck in my paw pad yesterday and it hurt.  My man had a hard time getting it out and when it finally came out, he made it bleed so it would wash anything out that shouldn't be there.  I had a spruce needle poke me a couple of months ago and got an abscess from stuff that got left behind.

I helped build a door for the new workshop and am going to help build the storage shed that attaches to the side of the house this weekend because my people have a 4-day weekend.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So we went on a long trip to Montana at the end of last month - gone 16 nights!  I got to run in the mountains, swim and play in the snow every day - sometimes twice a day!  There was so much snow that my lakes were still frozen and we had to hike over 3 to 6 feet of snow to get to them!!!  My man said he's never seen so much snow that late.  And it snowed on us 3 times too!  I saw lots of deer and a cougar!

When we got home my squirrel tree in the front yard was gone and all that was left were big hunks of wood.  My woman says the tree broke while we were gone and part of it hit the neighbors' house.  Their house is OK.  My people say that since the tree is gone they're going to fence in the front yard so my friends and I can play safely out front and they're going to make it so we can run from the back yard to the front yard too!  They've promised to plant me a new squirrel tree.  

A couple of days ago some people came and did some stuff in my back yard.  Yesterday they came back and poured concrete.  My people say they're going to build 2 sheds to replace 2 sheds that are already there.  1 shed will be torn out and they are going to put in a water feature there and try to make it something that I can play in!  I really like to play in water.

I forgot to tell everyone that I met my Dogster pal Dixie while we were in Montana.  My woman and Dixie's woman know each other from another online site and Facebook.

In the past week or so I found out that my Dogster pal Solace, we play together a lot in the park, lives on the same street I do!  Her woman was out in her yard doing some work so I had to go give her kisses and Solace got to come out and play!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It just won't stop raining here!  I'm ready for some nice weather so my people can take me to the beach.  It rained so hard a couple of days ago that my man had water coming through his raincoat and the sidewalks were flooded but we still went for a 3 hour walk!

My paw is still looking good but the antibiotics gave me stink butt so I am getting a little yogurt now.  I'm really happy I don't have to take any more of the antibiotics.

We are getting ready to go on a trip to Montana in the upcoming months.  I went for the 1st time last year and had a lot of fun.  I really liked the place my man grew up because there's a lake and snow and lots of good sniffs!  We'll be spending almost 2 weeks there this year!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a health scare over the weekend.  I was licking my paw a bunch Sunday morning and when my people checked it, they found a big lump that had a lumpy top on it.  The lump hadn't been there a few days before.  It had started to bleed a little so they put me in the car at 7 am and took me to the e-vet.  

The e-vet said it looked like a histiocytoma which she said is a tumor that is usually benign.  My woman looked them up and chatted with some people who have had experience with these and found out they could do some nasty things.

We waited for Tuesday to come so I could go to the vet clinic.  By that time my lump had become a wound and it turned out to be an abscess from when I got poked by the spruce needle a couple of weeks before.

It's healing up pretty good but I don't like having to get my paw wiped with the stuff the vet clinic gave us or having to take those huge antibiotics twice a day!]]></content:encoded>
