		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow- has it really been almost 6 months since I barked? That is just wrong. *Looks to the secretary with an evil glare* Anyway- we are moved, and are settled quite happily in our new place. I LOVE my huge deck- just don't expect me to stay out there ALONE unless I can come and go at will. It's great- I have the ability to sit outside and watch the world go by and not get out!! Mom loves it- though she IS a little sick of me wanting to constantly be out there since it has gotten cold. I also have a pen out back for when there is company or something like that... and I love it out there, too. 

Now- I just wanted to wish all a lovely Christmas filled with new toys and treats to your heart's content!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was my barkday yesterday- I turned 2!!!! And Mom says my present is waiting for me to get to go and stay there. She bought a mobile home for us- I'm MOVING!!! It's the first time, and all the boxes are a little freaky ATM, but she SAYS it will be amazing once I get over to the new place. Any others who have moved- what did you think? The boxes are not going to bite me are they? And the new place is going to be worth the scary, right?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WHOOO HOOO!!! It is lovely here today- warm and sunny, though it is a bit on wet side from rain we had yesterday. I got to spend a lot of time outside last week, which was just WOOFERIFIC! Mom's convinced that I need a doggie door- to which is I simply say "Ya think, two legs?" Hard to have a fenced yard and doggie door in a rental, though- or at least so she says. What do you think? Do the humans have that as an excuse? I mean, you'd THINK it wouldn't be so hard to do, right? All I ask is my Dog-ordained right to a sunny spot and things to watch, while not being confined away from the Mom. Our place is BORING, so I need SOMETHING- but I also need my Mom, dang it. Not asking too much, do you think?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am already feeling the winter blues!! Mom is making me stay in more and more... and this is NOT good. I am bored. But at the same time, it's cold, so being inside is not a bad thing, either. Wow... I had forgotten about this stuff. It is rainy today, and ridiculously cold. How can this be October?? It feels more like winter.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tomorrow is a bittersweet day chez Micah and Mommy. On one hand, it is the day I came home with my Mom, and we celebrated that yesterday at the Dog Park. On the other hand, it is the anniversary of the scariest and most horrific day of terror in American history. Mom and I will be taking a few moments of silence to remember and I hope others will, too. Praying for those left behind, as well as those who have lost loved ones in the wars that followed. God bless America!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I gave Mom a BIG scare this afternoon on my walk. One of the farms next to the Nature Preserve has horses, and one of them was in the field next to road into the Preserve today. Well, I started out my off lead hike just like usual- went about halfway down the road AWAY from the field where she was- and then suddenly decided she was IRRESISTABLE. I dashed over and jumped the fence to play with her. Mom immediately went back to try to help me... NO LUCK. I would NOT listen. I was learning to herd, Mom says... but almost learned the VERY hard way when she started bucking and trying to kick at me a few times. I was staring her down whenever I could, and barking my head off at her, dodging hooves and staying out of the way when she would lay down to roll on her back... you name it. It took Mom half an hour to get me away from her, and she THINKS I got a little kick to the jaw just before that. I'm eating and acting just fine so she knows I'm OK. Unfortunately, until they decide to move her again, I think my freedom days at the Preserve are over. Mom is NOT happy with me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have found HEAVEN!!! I used to think that the Preserve was, but I was mistaken. I have been to the DOG PARK and it's even BETTER than the Preserve!!! There's a new one outside of Parkersburg that Mom took me to today. It JUST opened this weekend, and I must say, I approve! I met two labbies, a Golden and a Beagle that played with me until I was so tired that I crashed in the car on the way home. Mom says Sissy used to do that, and she laughed. I don't think I've EVER had so much darned fun!! *giggles and races around happily as he dreams during his recovery nap*]]></content:encoded>

We've got big plans for after pay day (Monday, if the check arrives as she expects)- McDonalds and MAYBE a trip to the dog park in Athens. If not Athens, we'll be going hiking somewhere closer. Currently I'm resting and getting ready for a walk at the Preserve later and maybe a treat or two at Grandma's. We'll see!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had so much fun this morning! I met a black and white play thing and I was having a ball chasing him around until he poked his tail up and sprayed me with nasty stuff in the face! Mom says they're called skunks- all I know is that they're FUN! And the treatment for the stink is NOT worth the price of fun. I've had a tomato bath- four cans of tomato soup, four of tomato juice, part of a container of ketchup, and two of tomato paste. Plus two regular baths with vinegar rinses. DO NOT LIKE BATHS!!! Especially when it involves stuff on my face. I just hope this stink is gone soon so I don't have to have so many baths!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I have been having FUN the last two days in our attempts to beat the horrific heat we've had! We've been going to the Locks near our home and going swimming in the river, where Mom can swim, too! She scared me this morning- she went under water ((Mom adds DELIBERATELY!))  and BOY did THAT get my attention! I came swimming as fast as I could to find her. I also got a scare when the current was WAY worse today than yesterday and it was all I could do to keep from being pushed down stream when we were in the main part of the river. But because we BOTH got scared at that point, we went toward shore, where we found a deep pool where Mom could get under water herself and I could just SWIM without struggling. I swam for an HOUR today, in between running around the beach and playing with Mom. FUN FUN FUN, even in this awful heat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I met two critters in the last 24 hours! The first was a small frog who jumped out of the water while I was swimming last evening- BOY did HE surprise me! The second was a bumblebee that I met up close and personal this afternoon... he scared me, but I don't think he actually STUNG me, though I did jump and whine once... no swelling though, thank Dog! I didn't stop playing with him though! GAH this is a crazy world- little bugs that bite and critters jumping out of Dog's own pool! NOT FUNNY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I adore obedience! *ponders treats and grins* I'm doing pretty good with ALMOST anything except for leash work. I don't pay as much attention as I should to Mom, but her and TREATS- now THAT is a horse of a completely different color. Add treats and she has my attention for almost anything- unless, of course, one of our teachers walk by, LOL. I hate to miss their attention, and don't mind like I should when they do. But I walked last night through our apartment pretty much in a perfect heel (with treats in her hand, LOL). And four times without fail I did the "side sit"- sitting right where I should be- at Mom's knee, facing the same direction as she was! Am I the genius I THINK I am? Or just... learning?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WHOO HOOO! I did it AGAIN! This time I REALLY made Mom work to get me clean! I got into the deer poo AGAIN! Very fragrant and VERY stubborn stuff this time. I had a three part bath (Shampoo, conditioner AND apple cider vinegar to rinse), then a vinegar rag on my neck, THEN the whole damned BOTTLE Of vinegar- and it STILL smelled! Mom put some groomer's perfume on me and decided to give up, BOL! 

On another note, I was VERY good! Basic obedience started last week, and I did GREAT! Not a really bad moment in an hour of class and a little longer waiting before. It was GREAT! Mom is SOO proud! I also got to go to the local Relay for Life- and I didn't jump up on anyone, though I DID try once. And I did lean pretty hard on some people to get lovin!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says I am HORRIBLY FUNKY tonight!! Does that mean I dance well? *ponders and grins* Well, I do! But this time, I think it had something to do with the lovely, very fragrant deer poo perfume I picked up on my walk this evening. I LOVE smelling like deer- after all, it's easier to sneak up on them to chase them that way. BOY was Mom NOT impressed when I got in the car! She made me stay in the back seat, and wouldn't even PET me on the way home. I've now had a bath and spent time airing out and drying off outside. Mom says the bathroom STILL stinks! *Chuckles* Isn't that what its' SUPPOSED to do?]]></content:encoded>

I have my little run where I spend at least a little time every day and I enjoy it very much. Now that the rains have stopped, it's actually dry too- VERY good when your Mom is afraid of you bringing mud into the house. WHY do they obsess over these stupid things? Mud is like...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom surprised me- she and Grandma got Cain and I together EARLY today! It was only 9:15 when we got there!! What are these crazy women doing to us? My schedule is officially off now. GAH! But at least it was a fun play session with my cousin. Mom teases me- she says the Easter Bunny is coming to see me on Sunday and bringing me goodies. What the???? A BUNNY??? Coming to see MOI?? How should I greet him? What will he expect? Should I leave a basket out for him? Mom says if I do he'll fill it... so I guess I should do that. What a weekend!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is VERY proud of me! I live in a completely kennel free zone now, and am being VERY good so far! Mom went to work this morning after giving me a peanut butter filled Kong and when she got home 4 hours later... NOTHING was amiss. A few pillows knocked off of the sofa, but that's IT! *Dances and yips happily* WHOO HOOOO DOGGIE!!! She says I get to stay free as long as this keeps up! Now... how do I talk her into letting me go outside BY MYSELF without the benefit of leash or my big run? Hmmm... *ponders deeply* 

Also- thanks HQ for the honor of being on the Daily Diary list!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has done something I have been waiting on FOREVER! She put my kennel away! She says I'm a big boy now and have to act the part. She only has four more days of work this term, and I've been GOOD so far when she's tried it while she's at Mass, so she thought it was time. She put a new dining table where my "apartment within an apartment" used to be. I'm NOT sure like this, though. It will be hard to be THAT good ALL the time. What happens if I CAN'T be?? GAH!!! *runs in wild puppy circles* Maybe she'd be MORE upset with me because of the work she's put in to getting the table set up... I can't HANDLE IT! *Ducks under the table*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did it!! Mom finally tested me to see how good I can be, and I apparently passed with flying colors! She left me out of my kennel while she went to Mass this morning for two hours, and the only wrong that I did was to knock a pillow to the ground! WHOO HOOOOO! She says she'll try to leave me alone more now that she THINKS I can be trusted... *ponders the naughties he might be able to pull while she's at work* Of course, the kennel's STILL here, so it can be taken away VERY easily at this point. I think I better wait until she TRUSTS me then go for it. FREEDOM!!! WHOO HOOOO! FREEEEDOMMMM!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ After a thorough search for lepruchauns, it is pretty obvious that I'm wrong- none of the green suited little souls are here. Not even on the one day of the year when Mom says I SHOULD be able to find them. ((Speaking of, hope all had a great St. Patrick's Day!)) Believe me, I HAVE been looking for the little critters- VERY intensely and often, but nothing even remotely close is there. I sometimes think I lack Sissy's knack for finding things. Witness the fact that I can run right past a stick when Mom throws it and never so much as notice it. Sissy would NEVER do that. NEVER. OF course I get 90% of them, so... maybe I'm just human? 

We had a busy weekend- Mom redecorated the apartment, and BOY is it different now! MUCH more floor space. She said something about getting rid of my kennel, but she's not sure it's the right time. WHY MOM?? Why hesitate?? I am a good boy, really! I wouldn't do anything ungentlemanly while you were gone if you trusted me... *ponders the stuff on the top of his kennel, which looks VERY interesting and would be a LOT of fun to strew about the place and chew up given half a chance*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a mystery- we heard really loud scratching sounds in our wall this morning, and I want to KNOW what it is. Sissy told me about something called the "evil city squirrel"- I don't think that's it. Mom is afraid it's "a damned mouse". I think... it's a lepruchaun. Mom told me about them- little critters that really don't like to be seen, and when they do they have GOLD that they have to share. I think there's one hiding in our house! Maybe I can catch him and give Mom the gold!!! Please Mom?? PLEASE??]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I swear I need a NAP today!! Mom took me to Grandma's this morning, where she took some piccies of me and Cousin Cain! Then, I came home and she gave me a short walk here. Later, I played with the door to my kennel (an habit that I have is to bang the door shut time and again if Mom leaves it open while barking quite loudly) After that, Grandma came to OUR house, which is always cause for great excitement and more than a little puppy stupidity because I NEVER get company. No wonder I'm crashed now, is it?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm back to 99% now- no more soreness, no swelling of my former manliness, and I am, as usual, up for playing 24/7. Mom has been walking me at the Locks instead of risking me getting hurt playing with Cousin Cain, which I like because I can run free! She likes it because I don't run TOO much because there are a lot of big sticks and logs to go around. Yesterday I surprised her, though- I went started running my puppy crazy circles and then, before she could stop me, I ran pell mell into the river! It was 70 outside, but probably 40 in the water, so to say I was shocked would put it mildly. I went out a few feet- about as long as it took for me to realize my stupidity, anyway- and then gave Mom a look like "HELL!" and turned tail and headed back to shore. Not where she'd want me to learn to swim anyway, but DEFINITELY not WHEN she'd want me to, either. I can tell you I won't be making THAT mistake again anytime soon!]]></content:encoded>

Mom has taken me on slow trips to the Locks the last two days. She's not letting me run TOO much, though I did run some yesterday when we were there and no one else was around. I love that place- so much there to sniff and check out that I didn't MISS running as much. Doubly nice! So far, I'm healing up nicely, too. I am just hoping that no one tries to make me stay at the Vet's again!]]></content:encoded>

TORTURE, I tell you. They even *gets hushed* gave me a manicure while I was in surgery, so I now have short nails. The unfairness of it! She MUST hate me! But she DID come back for me... and she has given me lots of lovin's since. So I'm home and healing. Mom gave me my pain meds, and she's hoping I'll rest soon. It's been going well- really. And I'm up to 59lbs! Mom was shocked at that one.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had my third week of puppy class this week, and had a BLAST! My pal Apollo and I got to hang out, and we didn't get into much trouble this week! Mom learned to keep me away from him so I can focus, which helped a LOT. We missed a week because of the ridiculous amount of snow we've had, but it was great to get back to it. Everyone thought I'd gotten a LOT bigger during the week off... *Looks at self* I dunno... I don't FEEL any bigger... But I did have a breakthrough with leash work! Mom finally decided that it had to be done in short bursts to get me used to it, so we turned around a LOT... but I got the point. We'll see if it takes when we go back next week, which will be the last for this class. I HOPE I will be starting basic obedience in March, which works out perfectly because I am going to be fixed on February 15, so I'll have time to heal before class starts back up. Mom can hardly wait to get me through that and get my CGC so we can get into agility! She is convinced I'll be a great agility pup one day,  but I just want to have fun! She says agility will be a ball, so I am up for the challenge. Just have to get through the others first, which won't be as much fun.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wooo HOO! I got to start my first puppy class this week! It is NOT as much fun as I had expected though- too much being forced to do what I don't want to do and not enough fun. HELLO- WHO makes their pup walk ONLY on the left side? Ummm... we put me on whatever side is best based on traffic, etc. But it was fun to meet all the new pups and it was nice to get out on the town before class. Most of the class is my size or better, so that works out beautifully. I just wish we could all get together and romp, rather than studying. Mom gets frustrated- I am NOT going to be an easy study, it seems, and she doesn't LIKE that. I'm definitely going to be an agility dog, though. I showed an unusual interest in all the equipment for agility, so Mom feels like I'll take to it. WHOO HOO! I just have to get there- basic obedience, obedience two and THEN start agility class. Several months, probably.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WHOO HOO! I had a GREAT Christmas, and I hope all of you pups did too! Mom and I had a quiet Christmas Eve at home, broken up by a visit from Grandma and Grandpa, then she took me for a LONG walk at the City Park after she went to Mass. I SOO did not like the lights, but she seemed happy about it. Driving at night and walking with so many cars and lights around is NOT my idea of a good time. Christmas Day, however, was wonderful! Santa Paws came! I got a new dog bed for in the kennel (Mom says it's to help me when I am mature enough to not need the kennel) and I also got treats from Grandma and treats from Santa Paws, as well as a couple of toys and some chewies! Mom says I made out like gangbusters, though I don't know- what are gangbusters???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ DOG I think I hate this white stuff! Mom gripes because it's too cold for me to go out for too long, and we have to hike up the hill to see Grandma and Cousin Cain when the roads are clear enough to even go. PLUS the road has been bad off and on for a week, so we've been home a LOT! It's UNFAIR- I want a redo!If I could just play in the field in the snow, it'd be perfect, but Mom refuses to stand around in the snow to let me play in it. Luckily, Cain and I have figured out that there's snow in his yard too, so we play outside a lot when I visit. Nothing like getting soaked and frozen at the same time to make a pup enjoy a warm bed when he gets home, right? *Grins* Only four more night night kennel ups till Santa Paws comes!! WHOO HOO! I hope all this being good pays off BIG TIME! I haven't had a potty error in almost three weeks now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hope that everyone has had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, and that you all got a TON of goodies to share with the humans! Mom gave me some turkey and bites of ham, too, so I am VERY happy! 

Mom did something that I just do NOT "get" today- she took TONS of "stuff" and put paper around it, then put ribbons around them.Then she put them under the "Christmas Tree" and took some pics before putting them into storage. What in the HECK is she DOING? Isn't having a big tree in our apartment bad ENOUGH??? *looks around confused* 

On another note, Mom is proud of me- I am slowly... VERY slowly... getting house broken and learning to "stay" when she is offering treats. I start Puppy Class in January, and will transition on to Basic Obedience soon after that ends. WHOO HOO!!! Can't WAIT to show her how smart I really AM!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is VERY proud of me! I had my shots last week, and was microchipped, and I didn't even so much as WINCE! Not even when they gave me the chip! I love the vet- can I say that and remain safe from everyone's... anger? *runs and hides* And I'm growing like a weed, she says! I'm a big 23 lbs and getting taller EVERY day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just wanted to bark a little about my FAVORITE part of ANY day- Puppy Goofy Mornings! I wake up early, which is when I get to run around like a fiend and chase my ball for as long as it takes for me to calm down while Mom throws the ball and plays with me!! BOY OOH BOY is it FUN! *Wiggles happily* That and trips to play with Cain!! BOY is that fun too!!! He can EAT me, but we play like big boys together- he's just VERY gentle with me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BOY OH BOY! *dances in big circles* Mom gave me a SPECIAL treat this evening to go with my kibble! A little bit of spaghetti with hamburger- boy oh boy was that YUMMY! My first time having human kibble- and BOY was it nice! Of course, my belly was so full by the time Mom got home from work that I pottied on the floor when she couldn't get me outside fast enough... NOT good. Now Mom has a rug to clean when morning comes. I don't recommend THAT part of it, but the spaghetti? DEFINITELY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MAJOR bad potty day today and yesterday. I piddled this morning, and then did BOTH on the floor tonight! I try to do good, but just can't QUITE make Mom realize how badly I need to go out when I get distracted, so I just stop for a second and go on the floor. Mom and Sissy BOTH chewed me out over that, and sent me outside to do my business, where I KNOW I should. 

I did have a good puppy moment though- learned how to use the dog door at Grandmas all on my OWN! *Dances happily, barking for joy*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WHOO HOO! I've had a WONDERFUL last 24 hours! Only ONE potty mess- which was because Mom was cooking and couldn't take me out to potty in time. LOVE my life! Went to see Cousin Cain in the afternoon, and BOY was THAT fun! He is a great player and he SOOO wears me out! I slept all evening! Today, I helped Mom cook, and watched football with her. GO BUCKEYES!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I DID IT! I made it through an ENTIRE morning without making a potty mess!!! *Dances and jumps* Mom tells me I'm a VERY big boy! I was outside for quite a while, so no chance for messes. And I wore myself out so I napped the rest of the morning in our doorway. We have company coming later, so I'm resting up to show how great I am when they get here!]]></content:encoded>
