		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups! Most of you have heard us bark about our foster sister, Chloe. Well Mom and Dad are "finally" announcing that she is no longer a foster and now part of The Morris Pack!!!!
She came to us back in June when she was just 10 weeks old. Mom tried furry hard all these months to find her a family but it never worked out. She has just been shocked that she had very little interest in anyone wanting to adopt her but now she realizes it's because she was already home!
It was furry hard for the pawrents to decide to keep her, not because they didn't love her but because having 5 pups is furry hard work and furry expensive.  We live in a subdivision so Mom hopes we don't get kicked out..BOL  One day we want to buy some land and have more room to foster dogs and then the pawrents won't be as concerned with the number that we have.
See Mom has really gotten involved in dog rescue and by "keeping" the foster dogs that means that she can't "foster" more dogs because our house is full so that makes her sad thinking she can't help more dogs right now. One day when we move though she will help lots more doggies...so right now Mom does her best helping doggies on social media and local rescues and transporting. Mom says she wouldn't be doing all of this if it wasn't for this Dogster place! This is where she meet so many wonderfur people and pups and got her so involved helping rescues!
So....anyway....Mom finally told Daddy that since Chloe was on this years Christmas card that makes it offical!BOL  Mom is taking Chloe to get spayed tomorrow.  She was holding off till she found a new home but it's time since this is now her home!  Keep paws crossed for Chloe tomorrow, you know our family hasn't had the best luck at these "simple" surgeries so Mom gets furry nervous!  
Mom is going to work on making Chloe her own Dogster page in the next couple of days.  As soon as it's ready we will post in my diary and hopefully all my friends will send her a pal request.
Have a pawsome weekend and hope everypup is being good and getting ready for Santa Paws!  We are!!!
Woof Woof, 
Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pals!
Yesfurday me and my pack celebrated my 3rd barkday! Three years ago I was living on a small little farm with my Mom and fursibs and a furry nice lady and man came and started looking and playing with all of us. My Mom told us we all needed to be on our best behavior and make the humans like us a lot because we all needed new homes to go to! Well they were looking at one of my fursisters so I decided to go up to the lady and lay at her feet! I think that is what won her over because they took me home and now it's my family. 
Unfortunately, my pawrents learned after that they would never "buy" another dog again, they would only rescue. Mom learned a lot after getting me. Within 6 months I had severe hip dysplasia and I was a "Dudley" lab, with a gene imperfection, which is why I have pink features and yellow eyes. Even though I am a "registered" pup I still have all these problems. Now Mom doesn't want to make all of our pals mad that have pure breed dogs, but please do your homework and don't buy from back yard breeders but we really wish everyone would adopt because you can get pure breed dogs from rescues and shelters.  Sorry to bark about all of this but we thought this would be a good time to bark about it since this happened with me and this is the reason Mom is so big into dog rescue now.  So now about my barkday!
I got a big green stuffless snake that has squeaky's in it that never stop squeaking!! Isn't that pawsome! My foster sister, Chloe (which hopefully will just become part of the Morris Pack soon, we are working on Daddy) really wanted it from me, so Mom has some pics she will post showing Chloe stalking me and my snake! BOL  I also got a bag of Bully slices! Mom saved those till this morning so we all woke up to a nice big Bully slice and they were yummy! My fostersis Chloe has never had one so it was funny seeing her running around smelling everyone's and then she settled down and ate her own.  She will be in some of the pictures we post....if she becomes part of our pack Mom will make her a page. She has been with us since she was 10 weeks old, since June! So that is a long time and we are so attached to her and love her...Mom said it's so hard having and affording 5 dogs but she just can't imagine handing her over to someone at this point and just between us pups I'm pretty attached to her! Even though I'm an 80lb lab and she's a 12 lb terrier I really like that little  girl! She's kind of a mini me! She's the same color as me so we look a lot alike when we are out in the yard running after each other. I'm very gentle with her but she is a little pistol!  Petey plays with her too and Buddy and Scooter just tolerate her! BOL
Mom is baking a barkday cake this weekend but I will share it with Scooter because his birthday is the 18th so Mom always makes us share a barkday cake! Pictures to come of that later! So it looks like a barkday pawty all weekend long at the Morris house! WhooooHoooo!
I want to thank all my wonderfur pals for all the gifts, cards and barkday wishes! We love you all!
Oh, we went for a Christmas photo shoot yestfurday for our cards this year (yes, 5 dogs....lol) so if anyone would like to exchange cards with us we would love to! Just pawmail us your address and we will pawmail ours back to you!  Have a great weekend pups!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is the hardest diary I've ever barked to Momma to write for me. My most wonderfur, best pal in the world crossed the bridge last night. 
She recently found out she had a lump that they removed part of it and it was mast cell Carcinoma. The lump was still growing but just found out this week and were thinking of what action to take. Well sometimes us pups let our pawrents know when the time has come and Abby was ready to cross the bridge. We are glad Abby did not have to suffer. She was such a mighty huntress, she was always my role model, I wanted to be just like her!
She lived a wonderfur life in Canada by a great river and took nice long walks with her mom and helped in the garden and yes a mighty huntress. Even though we live in Alabama and never got to meet we feel as we knew her just as well! When I had FHO surgery at 6 months old, Abby was there for me with advice and support!
Abby had just one a contest to be in a dog calendar. What a wonderfur way to honor her and always remember her by ordering one of the calendars....it's all done through paypal. If you would like a calendar with Abby in it please order, link is below:
https://www.paypal.com/ca/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=XDhNgkPn2cfYn5QazqTaSoyjQTuPS4HhaNRwtoZ_L_ubXISbsSxvA5k-tr4&dispatch=50a222a57771920b6a3d7b606239e4d529b525e0b7e69bf0224adecfb0

We will miss you and love you Abby! Run free at the Bridge!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pals!
My furbro, Petey, just wrote a diary entry and got all upset when he saw he only had 157 pals compared to the rest of the Morris Pack, that has over 400 each.
We tried to invite all our pals back in December when he joined our family but maybe a lot of pups missed our announcement!
Please send him a pal request if your not already and he would love to accept it!
You would think Dogster could come with a way to notify pups when a new member has joined a family.
Thanks Pals!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pals! I know it's been a long time since  you've heard me bark, well it's all momma's fault. She seems to be pretty busy lately.  Momma has started helping transport pups that need to get from shelters to fosters or furever homes.  We are still around just dont bark so much but we still read all our pals diaries. 
Last weekend me and momma went to the Mutt Strut. It was to raise money for Hand In Paw. It's where dogs go visit children and people in hospitals and places.  They had a 5K and 1K...well we only did the 1K.  We walked with some friends momma works with and another lady that momma met through dogster and the book of faces.  This was first time they got to meet and she was a real nice lady and she brought all three of her pups! They were all so good and walked in line with each other. Mom said she could never do that with us.BOL
It was a nice turn out and fun meeting the other pups and so many smells!
I'll post some pics of the event!
Well it's a beautiful day here so I need to get mom off this computer and outside having fun. Hope you pups have a great weekend!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, well I had my girl surgery and I'm doing great. The first night I was sore and had pain meds.  The foster, Petey, was still "after" me that 1st night and I didnt mind so much, so mom had to keep us away from each other. Well the next morning I woke up a different woman!  If he came near me I about bit his head off!!!!BOL  So he learned real quick to stay away.
Mom is going to have Petey "fixed" Friday or next week. She kind of feels bad doing that to him over Christmas, but she will be off work!  He is doing great!  Mom says he is one of the most loving, lap pups she has ever seen!  My human bro loves me a lot but not real crazy about my furbro's but it didnt take more than an hour for him to fall in love with Petey(I'm getting jealous).  My humanbro thinks Petey is so sweet and loving!  I am too but I'm just about 70lbs bigger than him!BOL  My humanbro doesnt want him to leave and that just shocks Mom, cause he is always getting tired of "dogs" being around and Mom spending so much time with us!  Mom just thinks it will be so hard with 4 dogs and the expense of them!  Well he will be here thru Christmas thats fur sure!  Oh, Mom says that he has real dry skin, that it is flakey and dry.  He's had 2 baths with oatmeal shampoo but he is scratching very bad.(no fleas).  Any ideas on what to do for him?
She thinks with him being fed good food that it will help his skin but might take a while (no telling what he was being fed, when he was fed).  
Well just wanted to give a quick update, we know everypup is furry busy this time of year.
Have a MERRY WOOFMAS ALL OUR PALS AND WE LOVE ALL THE CARDS WE'VE RECEIVED! PAWRENTS 4    FURS 40!!!!!!!!
Woof Woof,
Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm at home and resting good.  Sorry mom didnt post this earlier but we've had a lot going on at the Morris house this week(more on that in another diary entry).  I know I'm 2 and should of had this done sooner but mom first used my hip surgery as an excuse and then Buddy got fixed last year and had internal bleeding so Mom has just kept putting it off.  
Well we had an unexpected house guest this week and he is not fixed so it has been the crazy house all week trying to keep him away from me. The pawrents decided to go ahead and do it today while I was in heat.  
Everything went well and I'm trying to rest but our "guest" still doesnt understand that I'm not in heat anymore and he has to stay away from me and let me rest and get better. I've drank lots of water and had a small dinner.  Mom will give me a pain pill before bed.
Just wanted my pals to know what was going on and that I'm doing great!
Oh, thanks to all my pals that have sent us Christmas Cards...we have 20 or more right now and it's so cool smelling all the cards and looking at all the great pictures of my pals out there!  We just love getting the cards so thank you all!
Watch for another entry soon from me or my furbro's about our "house guest".

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pals, wow my page is looking so nice with all the gifts and stuff.  I have the best pals evfur!  Can you believe that my mom forgot to tell me Happy Barkday this morning????  She had been talking about it all week then rushed out the door. Well she always kisses me before she leaves but I kept looking at her trying to say, "have you forgotten something" and she did! Well she did call daddy before he left and reminded him and told him to give me a big kiss, so I guess that's ok.  Me and my furbro's are going to celebrate before the pawrents get home. I think we will chase squirrels, bark at the neighborhood and bark at all the things on the other side of our fence that we cant see.  My favorite thing to do when the pawrents are gone is to get the pillows off the sofa and hug (if you know what I mean) on them...hehehehehe   Mom doesnt like me doing that but its my barkday!  BOL
We wont have my pawty till Saturday cause it's my furbro, Scooter's, barkday next week, so Momma likes to do them together.  I hope she brings me something home today though as a treat or surprise!
Well I got lots of barkday things to do today so I better get to them.  I'll bark at you later about the rest of my day and my pawty on Saturday.  Thank you all again for making my day special!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pups,
Me and Mom got to go to a fun event this Saturday...it was called Puppaween.  It was Pit Bull awareness day and mom saw it on the internet at the last minute and we decided to go.
Of course I was so excited till Mom thru on a big yellow and black costume...I was a bee!!!  Why do our pawrents try making us look like other animals on halloween???  Does my mom really want a bee for a pet??BOLBOL 
Mom decided to take me since I'm the "big" dog of the house and there would be a lot of pit bulls there.  We had lots of fun walking around and meeting other pups(whose pawrents also dressed them up...ughhhhh).  Oh we also met a big turtle that had a sheriff hat on (I posted a pic).  There was a plastic pool that I could pick a ball out of, a mountain full of bones and I could take as many that would fit in my mouth, there was a snow cone machine that had chicken flavored snow cones for pups!  There was also some very loud music playing that mom seemed to enjoy. There were several pit bulls there for adoption and other type of pups.  This part always makes mom so sad cause she cant take any of them home.  All of the pups were very nice and we all got along!  Even though Mom doesnt have a pit bull she really likes the breed and hates that people dislike them for the breed.  People are responsible for how these dogs act, not the dogs!  It was a fun day with my mom!
On the way home we went by burger king...I've never been there before but let me tell you...yum yum...they have furry good burgers!
Well Halloween is a week away....we cant wait to see all the pics of what all the pups will be!  Hope everypup get's lots of treats and not tricks! BOL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups!  Saturday me and Momma went to an event in a city near us call Bark in the Park.  It was of course to raise money.  Me and Momma signed up for the 1K walk.  It was a beautiful fall day here and perfect weather for me and my mom!(we dont like hot weather)BOL
The first thing we did was the walk. When we signed up for it they gave me and mom a t-shirt. The largest size for pups was a 2XL and it almost didnt fit me.  Mom said we need to be doing a lot more 1K walks, evefury day!  When we were walking there were a few dogs that had vest on showing they were for adoption.  Well there was one in front of us that was pretty skinny and not walking real fast but me and mom didnt want to be rude and go around him...well not far into the walk the pup just collasped on his side!  We rushed over to him and the volunteer walking him thought he was just being lazy and not wanting to walk but mom kept telling her, no he collasped, and we thought he was sick.  She kept trying to pick him up but she was a much older lady and we tried to help him stand but he didnt want to and we told the lady he shouldnt walk anymore. Another younger volunteer came and we told her that we thought he was sick and she was going to get him back to their event tent. At that point, Mom's eyes started leaking water and we had to walk away. Mom gets very emotional and was so sad we couldnt take him home and love him and help him.  It took mom a few minutes to get better...this is why mom cant visit shelters because she cant control the water leaking!  We did walk by the tent later and we saw him and he was standing and the girl said he seemed to be doing better but she would mention it to the vet. I sure hope she did and better yet I hope someone adopted him!
Well after that we had lots of fun....we watched winnie dogs racing and dogs catching frisbees.  There were some border collies and can you believe a yorkie catching frisbee's.  It was lots of fun and lots of pups there. 
Hope all you pups are enjoying this nice fall weather and getting to get out some!

		<description>Hi pups! We are having a good weekend here at Morris house. 
Not this day but maybe yesfurday day b ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups! We are having a good weekend here at Morris house. 
Not this day but maybe yesfurday day before (wink wink Zpup) me and Momma had special time together. That morning she whispered in my ear that we were going to the dog park!  She had to put my furbros in the bedroom with Daddy while we got all of our stuff ready to go, cause you know us pups are smart and know when mom opens certain doors or opens bags or maybe just the way she walks we know what she is up to!BOL
Mom said that I deserved some swimming time at dog park and if the furbro's go I did get as much time swimming cause they dont really like it.
It was a beautiful day for an August day in Alabama, it was in low 90's and the humidity was not too bad.  At first we went into the dog park area...all the dogs were in the "big" dog area cause there werent many pups around so we went in it first (i normally like the small dog area better).  There was a cute litte 12 wk old lab puppy and he was fun barking with.  Not long after we got there a BIG doberman pincher dog came in and its owner just let him off his leash right away and he came running up on me first thing.  See since my hip surgery I dont like big dogs and when they try to play with me I kind of loose my balance and fall down and it worries mom that I will hurt myself.  Before surgery I loved playing but mom thinks that I know what is best for me and maybe I dont need to play rough so I tend to stay near the small pups.  Well his owner didnt have much control over him so mom put my leash on right away and we walked out of the yard.  I didnt mind cause I knew mom was talking me to the creek!
As soon as we were near it I started pulling, cause I could smell it and couldnt wait.  There were 2 small beagle pups in there playing and I liked them....they had loud barks and their Daddy said they love chasing rabbits!  Then a pretty black lab came in and we played with sticks in the water and had fun. Next a German Shepard came in and she was nice but I was a little nervous around her, but she liked playing out of the water more than in the water. 
Ok, Mom has a question.....have any of you been very embarassed by your pup goin poop in the water...maybe a lake, ocean, pond or CREEK???  Well Molly had already gone a couple of times but while we were walking thru the creek talking to the beagles dad she just stopped right in front of us and did her business in the creek!!!! She has never done that before....I didnt know what to do....the poop bags were far away so that wasnt an option so I got this huge stick and .....ok TMI coming up.......tried to push it to the side and break it up.....I didnt know what to do.....so has this happened to anyone out there????
Well we played some more and then it was time to go.  Mom always stops and get some chicken nuggets as a snack, she tries to take off most of the breading to make them not so bad for me.BOL
When I got home the furbros went crawzy sniffing me, they had to smell all the other dogs that I had played with.  I think they were a little jealous of me...hehehehe   Mom told them that we would all try and go to the people park near our house today and we can all walk on the track that goes thru some woods, oh and it has a small creek to get your paws wet in too!
I posted some pics of my fun day yesfurday at the dog park so you can see my furpals I met.
Have a great weekend and stay cool pups!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, sorry we havent been around but as most know momma went to Las Vegas last Saturday.  Well you can imagine that me and my fursibs were so happy when she came back home the very next day!  Momma was suppose to be gone till Wed night but came home Sunday night!
We were happy but momma was not!  The very first day there momma went walking on the strip and the temps were around 105 and she got 2nd degree heat burn....not sun burn but heat burn!  The pavement was soooooo hot, when she walked the heat came up and burnt her.
By the time momma got to the shuttle that night to go to the condo she could hardly walk!  She put aloe and cream on them that night and propped them up while she slept.  She was hoping the next day she would be better and could stay but her feet and legs were very swollen and she hurt pretty bad.  She made the decision to come home that day.  When she got to the airport she meet the nicest nurse and 2 other strangers that offered her so much help.  The nurse was shocked and said she had never seen heat burns so bad but actually the nurse had cut her trip short by a day because of the heat!
She examined momma and told her how to take care of herself and she even went and bought momma 2 waters so she could stay hydrated on the planes home.  Momma was almost in tears because of how nice the people were to her and didnt even know her and they realized how bad momma was hurt and the pain she was in.
Momma is at home now and has been resting inside with us pups since Sunday night, keeping her legs propped up.  She left the house yesterday for the 1st time and felt better.  She is still having a hard time walking...she says when she steps it feels like her heel is stepping on a rock!  It's getting a little better so she is still trying to take it easy and see if it gets better.  The burns are better they are turning to water blisters now, she just has to watch for infection(per the nurse).
We hate momma missed going to the grand canyon, she really wanted to do that and she has been pretty sad since she came home but we are giving her lots of loving and staying by her side.  Momma said there is no place like home....BOL
Well we are sorry for anything we missed here on dogster but we are getting back into it now and hope you all had a greath 4th!
Bark at you later pups!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so sad right now cause momma just told me she is leaving tomorrow morning and going to Chicago and wont be back until Tuesday night. If you pups remember from when Momma went away for one night, I get really sad.  I couldnt sleep the night she went away...I just stayed in the foyer looking out the window all night waiting for her.  This time it will be for 3 nights.  I dont know if I can stay awake for 3 nights.  Momma says I have to be a brave girl and keep Daddy company cause he will miss momma too. 
Me and Momma have been real busy today getting her ready for her trip (cause you know I never leave her side). We had to paint her toe nails, spray her down with tanning stuff, wash clothes, cook me and my fursibs dinner for 3 nights, clean house, check on the garden, check emails and now type my diary! Whewwwwwww so much stuff to do for momma to go away....I think she should stay home!  
Its been so hot here me and my fursibs cant even go for our walks.  We dont even enjoy going in the back yard except for when momma gets home from work and goes to the garden she fills my baby pool with water and I lay it and cool off, sometimes mom puts Scooter in it to cool off and then he jumps out but not Buddy...he does not like the water!
Well pups, I guess me and the Morris pack wont be on here for a few days but mom said she will try to check in from Chicago. If we miss barkdays and all that good stuff we are sorry but hope you all have great one's!
I need to go spend as much time with momma as I can!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pups, we went to a big dog event in Birmingham yesterday and had lots of fun!  It's the biggest event around and has been going on for over 30 years. It's downtown and lots of peeps and pups show up, like a thousands, millions, hundreds or something.
It was pretty hot and humid so me and Buddy just hung out under a tree and watched all the dogs go by. Mom tried taking pictures of dogs that look like our pals on dogster, so mom is posting a few of them.
Scooter got to stay home and have the whole house to himself! He is really lucky...Mom said he probably had a pawty for the cats or something but we will never know!BOLBOL
Ok mom is going to post all the pics now...hope you enjoy them!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pups, just a quick entry to let you know that my missing momma is home. She said she wasnt missing that she told us she was going to be gone but we dont remember that!BOL
It was a rough night when she was away. Me and my furbro's could not sleep. We kept watch by the front door cause we can see out the side panels and watch the road from there.  If we heard anyting we would run to the back deck and see if she was pulling in with her car.  Finally daddy went to bed and he had to get up and come and make us come to the bedroom.  Buddy finally got in bed with daddy but no, not me!  I had to lay on the floor by the bed so I could have quick access to momma in case she showed up, Scooter stayed on the floor with me. If I heard a noise I would run and check to see if it was her. Daddy said we kept him up a lot that night getting up and down. 
Finally like 10 or one zillion million hours later we heard her drive up!  We were so happy and she gave us lots of kisses and hugs and played tug of war with me and then we all went and laid in the bed together. Mom was very tired from her trip and we were too from no sleep.  Even little Scoot Poot was all excited and kissing all over mom on the bed!
Dad said he has no idea what us pups will do when mom leaves for 4 nights in July!!!  Mom said she is going to set up Skype on Ms. Lou Ann's laptop and use it on her trip so we can see and hear each other on the computer. Maybe that will help us...dad said it might confuse us even more!BOL
Have a great week!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, mom got a little ahead of herself and posted the pictures before the story but I'll tell it anywho!BOL
Friday we had really bad weather here. The human bro decided to go to the basement but mom is so crawzy about taking pictures now she wanted to stay upstairs and TAKE PICTURES!  I guess us pups are crawzy to cause we stayed up there with her!BOL
Storms dont really scare us pups so we didnt think to much about it until we heard lots of knocking on our house! I couldnt decide where people were knocking cause the noise was coming from evefurwhere!  We ran to front and barked, then ran thru the house barking and then ended up on the screened in deck (that is where momma was) to bark!  Well that is where we saw all the knocking, there were ice cubes falling from the sky. Mom called it hail but looked like the ice cubes I eat and tasted like them!  I decided to go on the deck and catch them...it was like God was playing ball with me, he was throwing all kind of ice balls down from heaven to play with me. I went out on the open deck and tried to catch them with my mouth but then they started hitting me on the head and all over my body so I ran back inside!  Woof Woof, wow it kind of hurt..I guess that is why momma was trying to get me to come inside the entire time!  We do have a couple pics of the hail, so mom will try to post them!
We were lucky and had no damage. Mom was so worried about the garden we just planted but the little plants survived and so did her huge rose bushes out front! Whewwwwww, I'm so happy for momma but there was a lot of limbs and stuff in the back yard so me and human bro had to clean them up on Saturday.
Ok, you can look at my pics and see the huge tree branch I found but my human bro was trying to take it from me the whole time!  I wanted to play fetch!BOL  Scooter and Buddy decided to chew on it a little!  Some how when I was in the back of the yard trying to find other branches the big limb disappered!  I think the human threw it over the fence when I wasnt looking!  NO FUN Human bro!
Well I know lots of pups still have snow and are hoping for the warm weather but I hope it doesnt bring these bad storms when it finally shows up!  Of course after the storm it was perfect weather.  Sunny and in the 70's!
My momma is going out of town for one night, tomorrow and wont be back till late on Wed night.  I know that's not a big deal to most pups but I've never spent not one night without my momma!  This will be very hard for me but she says she trying to prepare me for her big trip to Vegas in July with Doo,Austin and Otto's Momma's!  She said she will be gone 4 nights then. I think I might need to be medicated!BOL
Have a great week pals!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups! 
Hope you are enjoying the spring like we are.  I know some of our pals still have snow and cold weather...wow!!!
Last week was spring break here so mom took off Wed-Sun and spent time with us.(well she said it was to spend time with my human bro but I know different!BOL)  Oh by the way my human bro got his drivers license last week so if you live near Alabama...stay away!!!!  No really he is a very safe driver, mom will even let me ride with him....whooohooooo!!!!
On Friday me, mom, dad & human bro went to a big state park here called Oak Mtn (I've barked about it before).  First we had a picnic lunch and then I took a swim in the big lake, then dad and human bro went to play golf.  Mom decided that me and her would go on a hike...sounded fun!  There are many trails thru the woods and mtns so mom bought a hiking map to try to decide which trail to go on.  It just confused mom more so we drove around till we found an entrance that you could pick from 3 trails.  We stood there forever trying to decide and finally I started pulling mom and sniffing so she decided to go that way(yellow trail).  Turns out ahead of us was an old man and his big black dog, so that is why I was sniffing and mom thought if this old man was going this way we could too!  Big mistake mom!!!!  It pretty much was all uphill!!!  Mom really wanted a trail that was more flat, which turns out that would of been the white trail, so we only went about a mile and turned around and came back.  It was hard on mom...she is really out of shape..BOL and Mom was really worried about over doing it with my bad hips.  Mom kept stopping and trying to take breaks but I kept pulling her and trying to run up the trail cause I was on the scent of the big black dog!  I did get to cool off in a stream that "I" found.  Mom thought it was funny that we didnt see the stream but I could smell it and pulled mom to it....as soon as I got there I just laid down. (Mom posted pics of our hike)
It was so much fun and I really enjoyed it and mom promises that we will go back but next time we will do the white trail!
As soon as mom put me in the back of her SUV I laid down and went to sleep!BOL...normally I stand up and bounce around and drive mom crazy but I was tired!  Mom says that I am all lab...that I just love the water and to swim so we will try to do as much of it as we can this summer.  Mom wont get in till the water is warmer but it felt great to me!
Did any of you pups do anything for spring break with your pawrents?  Bark to us all about it!
Off to take a nap or maybe bug my furbro Buddy...yeah that sounds like a good idea.....here I come Buddy!!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well that's what happened last night on our night walk!
It had been raining all day and even tornado warnings all around but when mom got home it was clearing up and I was very hyper so she decided I needed to walk.
We all went, mom had me and Scooter and daddy had Buddy, it was around 6:00 pm, almost dark.  They just repaved our road so us pups were just going crazy needing to sniff it....we watched (barked) at the men working so we had to see what they did to our road!
First, you need to know how me and mom walk, I always walk on the edge of all the yards. I dont like walking on hard pavement so I go to the grass.  Mom lets me do it cause she thinks it makes my hips feel better.  She doesnt let me go in peeps yards, just on the edge of them!  So we were walking and we have lots of drains(gutters) on our street.  Where there is a drain the top of it is concrete and it opens up toward the road. These are pretty big drains, mom says a small child could fall in one!  When we come to these drains I always try to circle around it because of the concrete and walk on the grass.....well last night when we came to one (I was on momma's right side walking on grass and Scooter was on left walking in street) I pulled too hard to go around it and mom's feet got all tangled up and she tried to catch herself but didn't and boom the earth moved...BOLBOLBOLBOL....I'm so funny, arent I momma????
But really it was scary...all three of us fell down and poor little Scooter was almost going down the drain!  Mom had to grab him, his little paws were trying to dig into the concrete!
Whewwwww it was a close call!  Mom hurt her arm and side but will be ok, she is very sore today so I will have to give her extra kisses!  Mom couldnt believe that Scooter almost went down the drain after all the rain we had!
Well after mom got up my Daddy was pretty mad at me, even though mom kept telling him it wasnt my fault but he says that mom doesnt control me on our walks and she needs to.  She lets me sniff at things and make lots of stops and dad thinks I should stay right beside mom and not do all the sniffing(that's why Mom walks me). How do you pups take walks, are they controlled or do you sniff all around? I dont let anyone else walk me so after mom fell daddy grabbed me to walk me and I wouldnt move but when he pulled me hard enough I had to! I really didnt mean for mom or any of us to get hurt, actually I fell to and had mud on my side so mom felt bad for me when we go home and gave me lots of hugs and kisses!  
I heard mom and dad talking about training classes for me...dont know what that means but if treats are involved I'm all for it!  Mom says I'm very smart just need some training that I didnt get early on because I had hip surgery when I was only 6 months old and while I was getting better my momma really "babied" me and I missed out on some training! I am very attached to momma, I wont leave her side (even when she goes to the potty) and it really bugs my daddy! Mom is starting to think I need to be a little more independent! Oh bark, all of this over a little fall!(oh, sorry mom, I mean big fall)
Mom said that lots of peeps have been taking falls on dogster lately, like tripping over toys and even dogs....I think peeps need to be more careful, us dogs cant watch ya'll all the time!
Well have a great week pals, mom said they we will walk tonight but daddy is going to walk Buddy & Scooter and she is going to start "training" me!
Woof, Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pups! How was everpups Valentine's Day.  Did your pawrents do anything for you?  Well my pawrents didnt do anyting special for us pups :( but we got to enjoy some of their celebration.
Mom was tired from working all day (Daddy took off) so she was at work thinking she didnt want to cook dinner.  Well I told Daddy that she would be tired and he should do something for her.  Daddy thought I had a good idea so we tricked her and called her at work and said that Daddy would go to the store and pick something up for her to cook.hehehehe
Well I helped Daddy clean up some, picked up my toys, pulled the sheets up on the bed...you know that kind of stuff!  
Mom made it home and when she walked in Daddy was in the kitchen cooking!  She was so happy.  He was making a fondue dinner.  It looked like fun, they put different meat on these sticks and put them in a little pot that was on the table and it cooked it.  They also had a cheese fondue with bread.  They were so nice they all shared the meat with us pups, steak, chicken & shrimp!  They also had fresh veggies and I love those!
Daddy actually cut up too much meat so when they finished mom just dumped all the meat in the pot and let us pups eat it.yum yum yum....
They also did a chocolate fondue with strawberries, rice krispie treats and marshmellow.  I liked it all except the marshmellows...I ate one but no more after that.  Of course they didnt put chocolate on ours!  Oh also my human bro was there which surprised momma cause it was actually his time to be at his dad's house and he drew a picture of me and gave it to momma and she loved it!
I really think I like this Valentine's Day...wish it was more than once a year.BOLBOLBOL
Oh mom wants to ask some pups mom's a question, especially one's with labs.  Are your Lab's (or other pups) shedding right now?  Molly is shedding like crazy but I thought it was too soon for her to shed her winter coat.  Ughhhhh I forgot how bad labs shed in the spring!  If you touch her she drops about 1000000000 hairs!  It is crazy!
Well enough barking for now, I think I see a bird out back, got to go bark at it!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<description>Hi pals! I have'nt barked at you much cause mom said it's hard being a typist for 3 of us on Dogster ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pals! I have'nt barked at you much cause mom said it's hard being a typist for 3 of us on Dogster.  She tries to even out her time for each of us....if only I had thumbs!BOLBOL
Well you know Buddy went to the groomer on Saturday.hehehehehe...I'm so lucky I'm a lab.  I don't even have to get many baths....but I love the water so I cant wait for summer to go swimming again.  
This Saturday it went to 73 and was so pretty outside, so when mom got home with Buddy we all got in mommas car and off to the dog park.  Mom had to take all 3 of us by herself.BOLBOL
Daddy and human bro were playing golf!
Well when we got there, first no parking in the lot we had to park across the street in the grass and walk over.  Mom was not happy about that, cause that's the hardest part is getting 3 dogs across the street into the dog park!  Well she got us all out and started walking toward the street and before she knew it Scooter had pulled out of his collar and was taking off toward street, then she turned around and Buddy pulled out of his collar....I was the only one being good!BOL
She was panicking and a man saw it and came over and grabbed Scooter and mom grabbed Buddy....whewwwww that was close, she almost turned around and went back to car and went home but thought that would be so unfair to us! Normally we all wear harnesses but mom thought the collars would be eaiser since we take them off when we get in. (harness next time!) So, after several minutes of walking toward park, getting tangled up we made it.  We could not believe how many pups and peeps were there. Mom said there had to be 200 pups there and their owners!  Everybody had our idea!  We go to the small dog area cause mom can't take Buddy & Scooter to the big dog area and actually mom doesnt think I would like the big dog area....they get a little crazy over there.  No one seems to mind me in the small area cause I'm so sweet!BOL  Actually there were several dogs my size and a couple bigger than me over in the small area.
Scooter was so funny, anytime pups would walk on the other side of the fence he would run the fence barking at them, like he was protecting his yard....of course I went with him to check it out but didnt bark.  Buddy just hangs out with mom (he's kind of stuck up)BOL
Once again Scooter was the social bug of the family, he likes the attention, and I follow him but still don't play with the other pups.....mom doesnt understand cause I'm real social outside the park.  She thinks it has something to do with my hips and scared I'm going to get hurt.  But she keeps taking us cause she knows we enjoy it and need to be around other pups!
She took my new Kong Wubba we ordered from daily deals on dogster, cause I love it, and she would throw it and I would start after it but this other (little) dog kept running and getting it....BOLBOL....I didnt mind sharing but mom did have to track it down and get it back before we left, cause I love that toy!
It was a big day and all us pups slept real good that night!
I love mom so much, cause she spent her entire day doing pup stuff instead of human stuff and we were so happy.
Oh, when we were leaving to go to the park, we saw "Super Hawk" flying near by....mom tried to stop car and get pictures but he is too fast and hides behind trees!  Daddy has to do something!
Bark at you later pups!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Merry Christmas Eve all my furpals!
Ok, Mom was in the bathroom "putting on her face" I thought she had her face on all the time but she calls it that!
Well, she heard a big "thunk" noise and she went running into the den and there I was with one of the Christmas presents from under the tree trying to get it out the pet door!  I almost got it but it was too wide.BOLBOLBOL!!!!!!!!!  See mom just put the present under the tree last night cause she was scared something like this would happen.hehehehe
If I had gotten it thru the door Momma wouldnt of known and me and that present would be out in the back yard right now!  Of course Mom said "no" and took it from me but then she was laughing!!
You cant blame a girl for trying!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes thats right.  Well mom just loved what our great Pals, Austin & Doo's Momma did.  She wrote about going to petsmart buying toys and taking them to the shelter.  Well mom decided to do that, she went and bought a lot of those plastic big stockings and went to the the local shelter.  Mom doesnt go very often because she gets so upset.  She use to volunteer when she was a teenager but now thats she older her emotions get in the way.  When she got there she ask if the dogs could play with the toys and they told her only the puppies, not the big dogs :( cause their pens have to washed out with water and they cant have toys but the puppies could.  At first she was going to drop them off and leave but she decided to go look at the dogs and of course right when she walked out into the big room she started crying.  She tried so hard to hold it in but couldnt!  This is why she cant volunteer even though she wants to, she cant hold back the tears.  Well she walked and petted and talked to every dog that they allowed visitors!  Of course there was this one terrier dog that was all balled up in the corner of her kennell and she finally got her to come to the fence and she was so scared and momma just rubbed her thru the fence and cried!
Then she went to the puppy room and it made her happy, the girl was giving the puppies all the toys she brought so when she walked in she heard them playing and squeeking them.  They all looked so cute and it made momma smile.  Before she left she had to go back to the terrier and tell her by and momma bawled all the way home!
Mom wants to know how you peeps do it without being so emotional.  She says its embarrasing that she starts crying and cant stop and people look at her like shes crazy!  She would love to help the shelters but just cant!
When she got home...oh dog....could we smell the other pups! We went crazy and mom told us how they would be by themselves on Christmas and it made us so happy that our pawrents picked us for their fur babies!
Mom was so upset she decided to take all 3 of us for a walk, right when she got home. Daddy wasnt home to help walk us but she did it by herself and we only got tangled up a few times.BOL
We all felt better once we got back home!
Mom feels better knowing there are little puppies snuggled up with some stuffed toys tonight!
Thank you Doo and Austin's Mom for the great idea, we hope you dont mind we stole it!  Youre the best!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups,
Well me and mom went for our daily walk yesfurday afternoon. Now see normally its dark when we go cause we have to go when momma gets home from work, but I dont care, I just love walking!
(and I'm helping mom get in shape) See before I came along mom didnt walk Buddy & Scooter much.  Buddy's not a big walker, when he's gone far enough he just stops and daddy has to pick him up and carry him.BOLBOL but he is getting better now that we all walk more.  Scooter, well you know his story but he's been walking with us and it's really helping him.  He is really getting around great.
Well anyway back to my story.....Late Saturday afternoon Santa Paws came thru our neighborhood on a big, loud firetruck. Of course all us pups went crazy barking at him!BOLBOL  I think he was running late cause it was already dark and me and mom had already been on our walk (on weekends we try to go in daylight).
Well Sunday on our walk Santa Paws left me lots of candy and stuff in the street. I knew he loved me!  There was candy everywhere (mom said it was for the children but they didnt get it) so me, Molly decided it was all for me.  I also found a brownie and had it in my mouth before my mean momma pulled it all the way out of my mouth and said "no"!
It was so hard to walk and not try to eat every piece of candy I came across!
Do any of you pups walk at night?  Well since we do we see lots of the Christmas lights out and I notice them, do you pups? Sometimes I'll see one of the deers all lite up that's head moves and I stop and stare at it.BOL, mom thinks it's cute!
Well that was my fun weekend......bark at you later.
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, you read it right.  I got a box today from Secret Santa Paws!  You can see all my pictures on my page.  I knew right away it was for me because I could smell it!!  I got that box in my mouth and just started tearing it apart.  Mom said I was suppose to wait till Christmas but she thought I was so cute walking around the house with the box in my mouth that she let me tear it open. When I opened it there were 3 presents!
I actually let my furbro's help me open them and I shared with them.  I got this great big Kong bone that is really fun. It bounces and squeakes.  Mom actually thinks it might hold up to my mouth.BOL
Also, there was this big bone that I chewed up right away and some bacon n cheese sticks...yummy!  I shared those with my furbros. 
Thank you so much my Secret Santa Paws, I just luved the gifts. If this is what Christmas is like I can't wait!  
We can't wait to find out who my secret pal is.  This is so much fun!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, I know my two furbro's have already written diary entries tongite about the dogpark but we all had so much fun I want to bark about it too!
I've been to this dogpark before so I was in charge!(just don't bark that to Buddy)  I took my little furbro Scooter around and showed him all the places to peepee and #2...BOL and where the cool places were to hang out and where all the shade trees were.  For some reason my furbro Buddy just kind of hung out with mom.  I did a little in the beginning but then I saw how friendly Scoot Scoot was being and how much fun he was having so I joined in.  The dog park is divided into little dogs and big dogs...just like most parks and I'm suppose to go to the big dogs, but mom was a little concerned so I went to the small dogs (only because I needed to watch my furbros...hehehe)side. Mom was worried that other pup's moms would'nt like it but they all saw how gentle I was and that I was a little lady.  I played with some pups but oh dog, some of those little dogs are crazy!  They are very hyper!!  It was a great day and as always mom stopped at chickfila and we shared nuggets!
All us pups came home and took big naps before dinner...it was the best day!  You can see some of my pics on my page and my fursibs pages!
Have a great week and Thanksgiving!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pals,
I have to first tell furpal how much it meant that you were here for me on my Barkday!  I received soooo many rosettes, pawmails and gifts, my page looks so pretty. :)
I want to give special thanks to:
Lexi & Monnie
Zaidie
Buddy, Maggie & Peanut
Abby
Milo & Maruko
Bella
Fitzcairn & Tessa
Hershey (Luved my party)
Redford, Cooper, Tundra & Manytoes
Max, Jake, Lola & Perry
Jack, Giz & Agus
Walker, Alexandria, Molly & Pookah
Alabaster, Chauncey, Muffin & Shula
Austin & Doo
Abby (luved the song)
Peek-A-Boo
Tiki (you throw a great party)
Furiends Furever Group (Thxs for my party that I was a day late)
I hope I didn't leave any furpal off!  If I did I'm sooo sorry!

My human bro gave me my gifts on my birthday cause mom is baking me & Scooter a cake this weekend but my bro will be at Auburn going to the football game.  I got a great new chew bone, and a kong toy with a ball on it from him. Mom also got me a new harness for our walks, it's pretty and pink (my favorite color).  Just me and mom got to go on our walk on my Barkday.  I like it when it's just the 2 of us, cause I can walk faster!BOL (buddy & scooter are slow!)
Check out my pics from my birthday on my page and there are a few on my fursibs pages too.
Well Mom did mess up big time on my birthday night.  This great group I belong to, Furiends Furever, gave me (yes me!) a barkday pawty and I missed it.  Mom had ask them about how to post my birthday on their main page but she had no idea they gave pawties! (She is still trying to work us around the group pages) I went back and read all about it and all my furpals had a great time!  So we are happy that they got to pawty and have fun.  I did join them the next night for T-Bone's barkday and had a blast! They give great pawty's!
Mom has been real proud of my recovery lately, on our walks I really walk fast and when mom takes me back to our yard, I keep pulling away and want to keep walking!BOL  It's great feeling better! Well, I'm no longer a puppy anymore, I'm a big girl!  Mom says it goes by so fast.BOL
Oh, I know most of you know that our dear friend Sunny is getting better.  That shows that power of the paw works, he still needs our pawyers, so we will keep them going his way!

Have a great weekend furpals!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, it's me Molly, yes I know you probably dont remember me but I'm still around.  Mom is pretty mad right now, this is the second time typing this diary entry...she was on last sentence and something happened and lost it all....so lets see if I can bark all of this again!  Mom's been pretty busy trying to keep us all well and she's been typing in Buddy's diary but not mine :(  well I guess thats ok because he had to go thru that terrible surgery to get fixed because I went into heat and couldn't go thru surgery, so he "puped" up and had it done. Boy did I feel sorry for him, he had a terrible time but he is doing so much better.  We all went for his first walk in 3 weeks last night and tonight. He acted like we were drag racing, I had a hard time keeping up with him and I'm 4 times bigger than him..BOL  I'm so glad my little furbro is better, now he wants to play again, I'm happy cause Scooter doesnt play too much!
Did you pups have to put crazy costumes on this weekend?  Well we did and I really didn't understand the whole Halloween thing. I mean us pups had to put hot costumes on and get nothing but all these little humans put costumes on, kept ringing our door bell and mom gave them lots of treats!  What is up with that, we never got any of those treats...I dont think Halloween is my favorite holiday...but my birthday is next week so mom said I will love it.  Can you believe I'm almost 1, mom said it has gone by so fast!  Oh, mom put some of our Halloween pics on mine and my fursibs pages, so check them out.  She doesnt think most my pals so them because dogster was doing that crazy bark board thing yesterday and we dont think my pals so when they were posted...or couldn't understand it.  We hated that, so we are so glad they took it off.
There are a few of my pals that need as many pawyers as they can get right now, first my little pal Sunny, has been very sick and his mom is so upset and needs our support, my sweet little Jack is on up there in the years and has been having problems and my great pal Abby had surgery and is still healing, so please remember to pawyer for them everyday!
All pups have a great week and I promise to update my diary more often!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First, I want to bark a big thank you for all the well wishes and gifts and POTP's.  I feel so much wuv! Also, I made several new pals this week and me and mom wuv it, we look forward to getting to know you all.  I'm going to let mom finish for me cause I'm tired and going to curl up on my bed and rest!
Well, pretty good news, it's nothing bad he's pretty sure it's an upper respiratory infection.
After surgery my imunune system is week and these things happen. I had a small fever, bloodshot eyes, and a swallon esphagus.  I got a BIG shot and 3 different meds to take home. He said I should get a good nights sleep.  This medicine should do the trick.  Also, my surgery hip is doing good, wants me to keep up PT but my left hip that also has the hip dysplasia is bothering me.  He put the same pressure on both hips and I almost bit him from my left hip hurting so bad. That is probably the pain I've been having lately so after I finish these meds for my infection I have to start taking Rymadol again, but thats ok.  
Of course mom stopped and got me a hamburger on the way home.  When we got home dad was in the back yard with a new sprinkler and I saw it and got all happy and ran and played in it...I just luv water! Mom will post a picture of me.
Mom is just so happy it's something simply and I will get all better....see moms know their kids...they know when something is wrong!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks pups for all my gifts and nice comments...I wuv you all.
Mom is still worried about me.  I did sleep last night but was very restless and woke up a couple of times wanting out of the bed.  She thinks I'm still hurting and she has no reason why because I havent been doing anything but resting.  Also, she has noticed something else with me that has her concerned and if any of you pups have any input about this please let us know.
Ever since her surgery I've noticed a little cough.  I don't know if it's a cough but it almost sounds like she is choked on something or sounds like she has swallowed something wrong. She does it at different times, after exercise, sleeping last night she just woke up making those noises, sometimes after drinking water...so as you see not just one thing triggers it.  She was doing it a lot this morning when she woke up.  I just dont think it's normal...of course my husband thinks I over react about everything so I got mad at him this morning so of course now he is calling me wanting to know if I'm taking her to the vet.  I think I should now, she's been doing this for weeks...it got better...but getting worse again.  Any pup's mom's ever gone thru this? Is it possible she got fluid in her lungs or something during surgery???  I have no idea, I just keep having weepy eyes this morning thinking about it (and I'm at work):(
Thanks for always listening to us and our problems!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pups. Hope your weekend was good.  It was very hot here, mom says I will love my first fall because it will be cooler.  I cant wait because it was so hot this weekend we couldn't go to the dog park :(  Mom said it would too much for us pups.  Me, mom my furbro's and human bro went for a walk last night after it cooled off some.  Mom decided to walk me a little further..we only walked 10-15 mins. then came home.  Mom gave me a pain pill like the vet said to do but noticed when we went to bed I was restless so she gave me another one...that normally does the trick.  Well I hate to say but we were up all night till 4:30.  I was hurting so bad, I was tossing and turning and crying in the bed I jumped down (which I never do) and me and mom went to the den.  Mom said I acted like I never had before, even when I came home from surgery.  I couldnt get comfortable, I would lay in one spot for a minute or two and then move, I just kept doing this over and over and over.  I would moan and cry and my mom would just massage my leg and back.  My mom was so upset.  At first she thought maybe I was having a reaction to my pain med..she thought I was going crazy but then decided it was just me in pain.  I didnt even hurt this bad after going swimming at the lake a couple of times or when we went to the dog park so my mom has no idea why I hurt so bad. We only walked 2 blocks in our neighborhood for 10-15 mins, which we've done before.  Mom said she had never seen anything like it, she felt so helpless because she couldnt help me.  We finally got back in bed at 4:30 am and I went to sleep.  Mom said I seem to feel better when we got up at 7:30 and she had to go to work.  Mom's really confussed why I was hurting so bad but knows I have to work that leg to build up tissue to make it heal.  I think we will all sleep good tonight, mom said we are not walking tonight..she is going to let me rest.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pup friends, I have to tell you about me and mom going to a new dog park Saturday.  Where we live (close to Birmingham) we only had 1 park and it's ok, not in a good area and kind of boring.  Well mom knew that the city of Hoover (next to B'ham) was opening one and found out it opened this summer so we took off to it.
When we got there I could smell good doggie smells and I could smell water so I knew it would be fun.  It was really nice, big clean, has agility equipment, sand play area and a big creek (I posted a couple pics of it earlier this week).We started out in the big open area and I was a little shy but met a few doggies. One dog, Milo, got a little rough with me and I fell down and it scared me but I got up and was ok so mom tried to keep me away from him. We walked around and checked out the equipment and mom said it would be fun for me to learn it later. It was very hot so we walked to the creek and there were a couple of pups playing so I walked in and laid down!! I just wanted to cool off and of course Milo came back jumping around me and I got scared again but of course my mom was right there!
Now, this is really weird, a nice lady and her pup "Bella" came over to us talking and barking and she was asking my mom about my hip and mom started telling her about it.  See my mom first noticed me limping one day when I was 6 mths old at the old dog park....well this lady and Bella were there that day, they remembered me and me limping and my mom being worried about it and not knowing.  My mom remembered her and Bella and couldnt beleive it was the same family we had met before. They were so nice and were happy to see me doing good.  We hope to see them again and Bella was gentle with me and didnt play rough and is my new "dog park" pal! I was very tired after all of that and we headed home...of course mom stopped at Chick Fil A and got me nuggets.  I did have to take pain pills that night but thats ok mom said I have to build up my scar tissue...but omd it can be painful.
Well me, mom and buddy are going Saturday so I can hardly wait!
Bye my friends!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom hopes to get this typed before dogster stops working again.  Are any other pups still having problems?
We had a great labor day.  Me, Buddy, Mom and Dad went to the lake.  Buddy went swimming with dad and me with mom.  I did great but mom said I'm not moving my surgery hip enough, I swim with my front legs more so mom was making me use my bad leg more.  We also took a nice walk around the lake. I was very tired when I got home so mom gave me a pain pill.  Well, we had a rough nite.  I cried and whinned all night so mom gave me another pain pill.  Mom was so upset the next day she called the vet and he said that was normal after exercising like I did because its the scar tissue growing and thats what I needed.  He said to keep giving me the pain pills as much as needed, but the next day I was better. Mom cant take me swimming much but she said that I have to get more PT to help me heal so she said we have to be better about doing more....OMD that sounds like a lot more work for me! We went for a nice walk tonite so she gave me a pain pill and ohhhhh its getting harder to look at the computer I think I'm getting sleeeeppppyyyy. I better go before I fall asleep on puterrrrr.......good night....Molly
PS Mom said sorry that my pals arent hearing from us much but mom cant do anything on dogster from work and now even at home we are having problems...we miss you all and hope to get back in the loop soon!
We are very sad about our friend Ernie George crossing the bridge.  We are pawing for his family.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, with Dogster being messed up the past couple of weeks I havent gotten to bark at my pals much so I thought I would just bark a loud Hello and wish everypup a safe Labor Day weekend.  My human bro keeps talking about Auburn football and going to watch it this weekend.  I don't understand that much but I know I like to grab the thing he calls "football" and try to carry it around.  He goes to all the home games so I'll be missing him over the weekend!  Mom says football is very important to people in Alabama and people down south...humans are so weird!!!
I've been doing great with my hip.  I get around great and mom has me doing some exercises in the afternoons.  We havent been swimming much, I wish I could go but its hard to go to the lake.  Mom said we might go this weekend!!! I still cant jump up on things but I'm going up/down stairs, slowly.  My mom worked me hard this afternoon, she has me walking in figure 8's. So I'm one tired pup, I'm about ready for bed and our Daddy is out of town so I can really stretch out in our big bed! Let's hope that Buddy and Scooter don't get in a fight tonight.hehe(read Buddy's last diary entry).
Well all pups be safe this weekend if you travel and my human bro said to say.....WAR EAGLE!!!!  (I have no idea what he means...is a eagle going to war??

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pups, I don't know if your still awake but I had to bark really loud to get mom to type for me because it's so late.
I got to go swimming yesterday!!!! Yeah me!!! Just me and mom went to the lake.  It is sooooo hot here even the water was hot, mom had water pouring off of her face even in the water (she calls it sweat, I like to lick it).
I just got in and remembered how to swim.  Mom was hoping since I'm a lab I would remember how to do it and I did.  Sometimes she would hold me up underneath and let me float and move my legs.  She didnt have to but she didnt want me to over do it.  I cant wait to go back. 
We were there about an hour....I didn't swim that entire time, I took breaks.  
Whewww, when I got in the car I slept and then slept till bed time (of course I ate).  I was a little sore because I moved around in the bed a lot last night.  Mom gave me some meds, but don't worry pups I'm ready to go back!  Mom said maybe one day after work, then this weekend again!
Today was the first day that no one stayed with us all day.  They blocked the yard off from the deck and I had to go pee pee on the deck, it was really weird!  I didn't go #2, I waited till Daddy came home.  
Well mom is really tired so I'll talk to you later.
Woof Woof,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Whoooooo, my stitches are gone, I was such a good girl, it didn't hurt at all.  Doc says I'm doing great! 
Guess what ??????  I get to go swimming!!!!!!  The doc said I can swim as much as I want...mom just wishes I had a big pool in back yard and we didn't have to drive somewhere.  We will go to the lake at Oak Mtn State park, it's about 15mins from here.  We won't get to go every day but mom said she will take me as much as she can. 
The only bad thing is I can't do stairs yet.  Doc wants me to wait 10 more days, so I cant be left during the day so I can go thru pet door and down stairs to go outside.  I think mom has to block off stairs and I will have to go potty on the deck...that will be soooo weird but I guess if I have to go bad enough I will go!  Doc said I can play in back yard and walk around it too, so I'm one happy pup!  I'm a little tired today from going to the vet so I'm about to go nap but tomorrow mom said I can go swimming.....OooooooOoo
All pups have a great weekend....I know I am!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pups, 
Wanted to let you all know how good I'm feeling.  This morning when mom went to take me out, she has the stairs blocked on deck going to yard, so she moved gate and before she could get me I ran down them and ran in back yard.  I felt great!!!! but Mom about had a heart attack (I've never seen her run so fast)hehehe.
I'm walking almost normal on my leg, I'm not even limping very much...mom just can't believe it!  I'm not even taking pain meds anymore.  I go Friday to get stitches out and me and mom hope vet says I can start doing small walks and maybe swimming.  I've got a lot of energy that's been kept inside me all these months and I'm ready to let it out...I mean, I'm still a puppy!
Oh, I'm finally sleeping thru night again.  Mom and Dad finally realized that all I wanted was to be back in their bed and so they finally put me back in it and I sleep all night, bumped right against my mom....Dad laughs and said we look like lovers holding each other.hahaha, well I do love my mom...right????
Well I will check in on Friday after vet visit...keep paws crossed that he lets me do more and not be confined!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

Thank you so pawwwww much HQ for this honor.  Sorry, that all my current entries are about my surgery, once I get well and can start playing again, Mom will write about my fun things that I being a lab luv to do!  This really cheers me up since I'm being confined and all right now!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups.  Well I'm at home recovering.  I'm doing pretty good I guess, if having a huge cut with it stiched up is doing good.(hehe..see I still have a sense of humor).  Each day I get stronger.  When I go out to potty I walk a little and I do put a little weight on my leg.  Yesterday the cat ran across the back yard and I stopped and got that look that you know, labs get, and my mom had to grab me before I took off.  She said starting today I have to go out with my leash..can you believe that..in my own back yard, I have to wear a leash, but mom said it was to protect me....ok.
I'm getting more excited(not in a good way) about being confined each day.  I don't like it one bit!  I'm whinning about it but mom just keeps saying, "It's ok Molly".  I really don't like it at night because I use to sleep with my mom and dad.  Mom has me confined next to the bed by her and she reaches down and pets me, but I'm still waking up around 2:30 every night, whinning and moaning and not going back to sleep.  Mom is not sure if it's because I'm hurting and not wanting to be confined...and I just can't seem to tell her what is wrong!
Thank you all my furfriends for all of the prizes and wonderful messages.  Mom said we are going to get back to each of you but it might take a couple of days.  You all are so wonderfur!!!!
Well I think it's time for a pain pill (well, Rimadyle, but it helps some).  Wuv you all.....Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups, I'm not feeling so great so Mom will talk to all my pup friends.  First, thank every pup for all the gifts and messages, I wuv you all.
Molly's surgery went good (I guess because I still havent talked to vet).  We got there yesterday afternoon to pick her up and the vet had left.  All they told us was keep her confined for 2 weeks and give her medicine.  Well the "pain" med they gave us was the same Rimadyl that she has been taking for 2 months prior to surgery.  How is this suppose to help her pain after having a major surgery???  She did have an injection before leaving vet so it helped her until...you guessed it....the middle of the night.  My poor baby had a rough night, moaning and whinning.  I finally gave her one of the Rimadyl at 3:00 (was suppose to give today) and I don't know if that helped her or she was so tired she finally fell to sleep.  I'm now waiting to hear from vet.  I told them yesterday I wanted him to call me today and at least tell me how the surgery went. Now I want to talk to him about her pain meds.  I've looked a lot on line about FHO surgery and several blogs from pets that have had this say to make sure they have good pain med for at least a couple of weeks.  He gave me 8 pills.  Also online every site says to start walking and doing exercises the 1st week and they told me to keep her confined.  I downloaded a guide called "FHO Home Therapy Booklet" and it gives a step by step guide to post surgery for several weeks and he says to walk and do therapy now.....so as you can see I'm very confused!
I'm just waiting patiently by the phone to talk to vet.  I did take off work today, but starting tomorrow my 15 year old son will be watching over her.  
She did get some energy this morning and seemed bored in crate so I gave her a bully stick and boy did she tear it up.  I will try to take pics later of her hip and post on her page.  It is a big cut with stitches so if you don't like seeing that kind of thing dont look at pics I post later.hahaha
Well when I hear from vet I will update again.  I know some of you pups have had surgerys out there (maybe not this one but other kinds), what kind of pain med did the vet give you guys? I would really like to know, maybe I'm over reacting.
Thanks for everything my friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi my pup friends.  Well I'm going for my FHO surgery on Monday, Aug 1.  I'm a very scared pup!!!!  My mom said I will be very sore for days and I have to be put in a crate!!!  What in the dog world is that????  Is it some kind of prison?? It sure sounds that way.  Mom said is for the best, that I have to stay in it during the day and maybe night and come out to eat and poop.  I thought they loved me!  Mom says that maybe I will be on medicine the first few days and I will sleep thru most of it.  Maybe some of my pup friends can give me some advice.  Have any of you had surgery and been locked up?  Mom says that lots of pups use crates every day even when they don't have surgery...can you believe that...they must be very good pups!
Well I am ready to be well and be able to run and play again.  It's been pretty boring around here since I can't take walks or swim or anything!  I just lay around chew things and get in my baby pool in the afternoon.  Mom gets really sad seeing me this way.  Even though I'm very young she misses the things we did together the first few months of my life...I can hardly remember, but I know playing was fun and taking walks.
You pups will have to read my brofur's diary (buddy) about last week.  It was a crazy week at home...daddy was out of town and or air went out in the house and it was 100 degrees here. All is better now..my daddy and human brother are back home.  I really miss my brother when he is not here, he is my special friend!
Well, pups keep paws crossed for me and hope all goes well for me!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pups,
So many of you have been so helpfur to my mom and me to decide about my sugery...especially Haylie!  She is going thru same thing as me, she actually got the same bad news on the same day I did!  She went to see a ortho vet and she shared what he said with me and he said that he does FHO surgery on lots of big dogs like us (well actually Haylie is full grown lab 90lbs, I'm still growing)and they do great!  He said that like 10 years ago they said not to do it on big dogs but things are much better now!  Also, several other pups emailed me with advice so thanks so pawwww much!  I think Mom is going to try and schedule surgery for Monday July 26.  My human brother will be back home then so he will be able to help watch me during the day, while I recover.  We will let every pup know fur sure.
On a sadder bark today, my pup pal Sunny is very sick and he is only 2 years old..he and his mom are so nice..I know lots of you pups already know them.  Please use POP on them they need it.  You can look under my pup pals and find Sunny and read is diary.
Well, my Mom finalllly got me a new kong.  She got the black one and so far, so good.  I havent torn it up.  It's pretty darn tough so I don't think I can destroy it.hehe
I'm still pretty bored but Mom won't let me do much.  I took off after the cat last night in the back yard but I didn't make it but about 10-15 feet and I had to stop....hurt too bad!
Me and mom still get in my baby pool in the afternoons and I enjoy that.  Mom doesn't understand why I don't get in it during the day while she is gone...she even put it on the deck for me so I wouldn't have to go down the stairs but I just like waiting on her!
Pups take care!
Woof Woof, Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pups!  Well after my big time at the vet Friday I am feeling better.  I don't remember much except my Mom leaving me at this place called the vet and I was crying because I thought she was leaving me and then everything got real woozie, then when I woke up my hips and legs were real sore, then soon my Mom was there to rescue me!  I was so happy to see her but woozie.  I was pretty sore Friday nite, didn't do too much walking but Saturday I was better and even better Sunday.  I even had a little "hop" in my step Sunday, but if I tried to run or play my mom would stop me, something about having to rest till surgery...whatever that is.  Mom said it is to make me better, I hope so because I miss swimming in the lake and my walks!
My mom is so sweet to me, she gets in the baby pool every afternoon with me, because I don't like to get in it without her.  My furbro's(Buddy & Scooter) dont like it, but thats ok I get it all to myself.hehe  I sure am attached to my mom, she has to do everything for me (lifting me), she hopes I'm not becoming too dependent on her because she says one day I will be able to do it all by myself...I hope so!  Mom is going to get me the black kong (thanks Shelby) today.  I chewed up my red one.  She going to put things in it and freeze it since it's so hot..thanks for all the ideas my pup friends!
Mom is hoping to still talk with some other pups that had FHO surgery, hopefully large pups, but any pup would be great!  If you know of any send them our way!  Bark at you soon!

Well, it's tru ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well pups, I'm home but pretty woozie now so mom is going to tell you about the vet.
Well, it's true I have hip dysplasia.  It's in both hips but my right hip is bad.  It's beyond a stage 4.  The vet said it's the worst he's seen, especially only being 7 mths old.  My left hip is around a 2 or 3.  My right hip is pretty much bone rubbing on bone, so yes I have been in a lot of pain.  If there is any good news to this is what they can do for me.  I will have surgery on my right hip in the next week or two.  It's called Femerol Head Osteotomy (FHO).  You pups will have to get your moms to read about it.  At least it's not hip replacement, he said I would never have to have that, unless I was a working dog, and I'm not, just my pawrents child.  This will fix my hip it will make it like a shoulder.  They take the joint out so pretty much it's muscle holding it.  About 6 weeks after surgery I will be all new again and ready to play.  Hopefully when its fixed, it will help my left side and I wont have to have surgery on it for another year or two.  
This is Molly's mom...thanks for all you pups and familys for your support.  If any of you or your pup friends have had this surgery let us know so we can talk with you and get info on it. I want to do all I can to help my baby girl. She's only been in our lives 7 mths but I think you all know what she means to me, I can't imagine life without her and I so want her to be able to run, play, swim and do all the fun things "labs" do.  She is one of the sweetest girls I've ever met.  Even her feeling bad today in the waiting room at the vet she was "kissing" all the other sick dogs.  There pawrents couldn't get over how sweet natured she is.  Thank you all again and I will keep everyone updated on her progress.  For the next week or two until surgery she will still be on "bed" rest, but that's really all she wants to do.  We do go outside in the afternoon and she lays in her baby pool, I think the cool water feels good on her hips!
Woof Woof, Molly & Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, my mom says that tomorrow is the day for my test.  I'll be glad too, because I haven't been doing so great.  My mom is really confused.  One day she thinks it my hips and the next day my legs.  I wont jump on the sofa or anything anymore.  Mom has to help me do lots of things like that.  I woke her up several times last nite moaning and she would rub me.  My dad thinks it something with my knees...so no more guessing after tomorrow..at least we hope.  I'm such a young pup to have these problems!  Mom says I act like an old lady!
My pawrents went to the lake again over the weekend without me and I was soooo sad but mom said until we know whats wrong I have to take it easy.  I hope i get to swim in the lake soon.  My mom does put water in my baby pool every afternoon and both of us get in it.  I won't stay in it unless mom stays with me, but I luv laying in it and cooling off.
Mom also thinks I'm teething again.  When she came home from work Tuesday I had chewed almost every corner I could get to on the baseboards and the door framing.  It was pretty bad...my dad is so upset!  Mom put hot sauce on it yesterday and tried to put things in front of them.  She also went outside and got me several sticks to chew on because I luv them.  She thinks since I don't feel good I'm not going outside much when she is gone so she brought the sticks to me.  I didn't chew the house anymore yesterday so we'll see about today.  Do any of you pups have any ideas for my mom and my chewing?  My dad says he will start putting me in a crate if I don't stop but mom says no way, because they are gone all day and she couldn't do that to me.  Well, keep me in your prayers again and mom promises as soon as she finds out from vet tomorrow she will post a diary entry.  Take Care!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pals, hope all furfriends and families had a great weekend.  As you know my mom was off work Friday(to take me to the vet) so I had a long weekend, which I just luv!
I didn't get to play much or take walks because I have to take it easy but me and mom played in my baby pool each day.  Yesterday it was empty and I just went out there and laid in it.  Mom thought that was so funny..she had to hurry and get the big long green snake that spits water and put it in my pool!  Well how else was I suppose to let her know I was ready for pool time! hehe
My mom has really been babying me lately and says I'm really getting spoiled, but I don't see anything wrong with that!
I've become her shadow and I always have to be touching her.  I've been sleeping with her & daddy every nite.  I started out sleeping with them but got to big so they kicked me out of the bed(can you believe that?) and I had to sleep in a big chair in their room, but I didn't like that because Buddy & Scooter were still in their bed, so I decided to start whinning in the middle of the night and waking them up. hehe  Well mom finally put me back in their bed and discovered I just want to be touching her all night.  Now I sleep with my head on her legs all night or if I get hot and move I have to have my paw on her...I guess I'm just a mommy's girl!  I don't think she minds at all.  Well pups have a great week.  Oh, when mom gets home I have a couple of new pics of me in my baby pool that I will get her to post, so look back later tonite!
Woof Woof,
Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pup pals...I'm sorry I'm so late letting all my pals hear about my visit, mom took the day off work so she had a lot of errands to run (whatever that is).
Well, we still don't know what is wrong.  The vet was very nice and looked me over.  He said my right knee is hurting me but not sure about what is wrong with it but to know about my hips I have to have a radiograph done.  He went ahead and put me on Rimady (anti-inflammatory & pain medicine).  I have to go back next Friday because they have to sedate me for the test.  Since I haven't been fixed yet they thought it would be a good idea to fix me and do the test at the same time, so they can sedate me only once.  So....we have to wait 1 more week but the Dr said the medicine should make me feel better, but mom says I have to take it easy all week..no running, swimming, fetching...what is a poor doggie to do?   My said lots of hugs and kisses and I can get in my baby pool and lay down.  It's so hot here so really laying in the air condition house all day, laying on couch sounds good.
Thank all of my pals for their concerns and all my gifts!  Mom said we will get to each one of you and give you a special thanks.  Please keep me in your prayers this week and all hope for the best.  Everyone have a great weekend!
Lots of hugs and kisses!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Pups, Mom takes off work tomorrow (Friday) and we go to the vet.  I'm sure they will take X-Rays but mom says that does not hurt...they just want a picture of my insides.  I just want to tell all of my new pup pals thanks you so much for all of the support you are given my mommy.  She has been so upset all week and my new friends, Shelby, Emma Jean, Abby, Tessa & Fitzcairn...have been so supportive.  Thank you Shelby for putting us in touch with other "furfriends" that have similar problems.  Shelby is my look alike "sisfur friend".  Everyone look at her page and see how pretty she is.  All my new friends are just pawfert!
After we get back tomorrow from the vet my mom will let everyone know what has been determined.  
Power to the Paw!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pups..hope all had a great "Dad's" Day...and human's too.
Did you guys get to do extra fun things with your Dad's?
My Dad finallllly went and got my pool.  Of course I loved drinking out of the long green thing that looks like a snake even more than my pool.  My mom had to get in there first and when I saw her splashing around I finally jumped in.  It took a few minutes then I finally laid down in it.  It felt soooo good, because the heat was like 100 here so it was nice.  It's not as nice as the lake, I can't fetch things from it but mom says it not replacing going to the lake it just makes days in between going to the lake better...and I agree!
I'm still having problems with my back legs.  I'm walking funny so Mom said I have to go to the vet later this week.  She is very concerned, that I might have hip dysplasia.  She's been reading about it, but Dad doesn't think that.  He said Mom is jumping to conclusions.  But I'm so young and love to play we really hope it's something that can be treated with medicine.  I haven't been able to walk at night or chase my balls...my mom makes me lay around and helps me on the couch and bed.  She wants me to take it easy...but it's hard me being a pup!
Please all pups keep me in your thoughts and prayers that my problem is not hip dysplasia..mom says that is bad.
Well have a great week and when I go to the vet later in the week I will update everyone!
Woof Woof,
Molly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today when Mom & Dad were at work my big human brother came downstairs (like around lunch time because he is a teenager and sleeps like all day) and it was like the woods found there way in the house, all thanks to me of course.  Why should us pups have to go outside and play and chew on sticks when it's sooo hot.  Well, I thought it would be a good idea to bring lots of them inside and chew them all up.  I bring them thru the pet door and my mom things I'm a magician.  My brother is a big tattle tale, he took a picture of it and sent it to my mom at work.  She was not happy and he wasn't happy because he had to clean it up. hee hee
Well I'm still waiting on my baby pool, Mom said maybe this weekend..I won't let her forget.  I'll let you pups know as soon as I get it.  Hugs, till later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey pup pals....today was an easy day my Mom's been home sick from work the last 2 days and even though I'm sad she was sick I was so happy she was home.  We stayed in bed most of the day and normally I'm very hyper because I'm a puppy, but I knew she was sick so I laid in bed with her.  
I haven't been able to go on many walks yet because my back right leg is still hurting me some.  I have to take it easy.
My big "human" brother is also out of school and he is my very best friend so I luv him being here during the day...but still no walks. :(
I heard Mom talking to the brother today and she said something about getting me a pool for the back yard since I luv water so much.  I don't really know what a pool is but if it's anything like a lake I will luv it.
Talk to you pups later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was great...it was Molly & Mom day..that's right, just me and my Mom went to the dog park. I know my brothers were jealous but they will get over it. BOL  The dog park is in Birmingham, the only one right now, so that's about 30 miles one way.  It's pretty new but not in a great area of town,(mom says)but I think its worth it.  I got to meet several new dogs, I was a little scared at first but didn't take me long. Mom noticed after about 30 mins I was walking funny, she thought it was because I was a little shy but it was something wrong with my leg.  We think I sprang it but don't know how, mom didnt see me do anything.  We had to leave park early because mom was worried and you know how they can be...but she stopped and got me a hamburger on way home...she doesnt know that was part of the master plan. hehe
I seemed to be better back home so Mom is going to watch it over the weekend.  My Dad says, that after we take walks he has noticed I walk a little funny..so now Mom is even more worried, but she worries too much!
It was a great day for me, but I missed my little brothers. I want them to go next time, but Mom says we have to play in different areas because of our sizes, so we will have to see. Hope all pups are having a great weekend.
Woof Woof,
Molly]]></content:encoded>

Thanks to all my pup pals out there for helping my Mom (she really needed it).  A big Paw to Abby and Sunny they really kept me informed and did all they could to help.  Every Pal is so nice on Dogster.  
Today I played out in the backyard most of the day.  Dad had the cable guy over and I kept getting in his way so me and my brother Scooter, did some sunbathing.  Mom is cooking our dinner now then I'm ready for our walk..I never let her forget it. BOL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well it's about time.  My older brother got his yesterday, I've just been bouncing off the wall waiting for Mom to get mine ready.  I'm only 7 months old but have a lot of things to talk about, of course I'm still learning things.  My older (smaller) brother, Buddy, thinks he's the boss of me, but I guess he forgets how small he is, but Mom seems to back him up a lot so I guess I better listen.  I also have another brother, Scooter.  Scooter loves kissing me every night on the couch.  It bugs me sometimes but I let him.  He can't play as much because he had back surgery last year so he could walk again.  He walks good but can't jump or go up/down stairs.  I have to be careful around him sometimes.  Mom played fetch today but it was hot so I got tired.  I'm ready to go for my night walk, I go up to where my leash is to remind my Mom not to forget.  She says a walk before bed calms me down and helps me sleep better.  Well better go before she forgets.
