		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well today I went to Toad Suck Daze a local festival held here every year. I went with mom last year and did okay. This year Grammy went with us and more people were wanting to pet me and such. So mom is going to have to look into getting a patch that says no petting at work or something of that sort. I know it's nice to get petted and such but grammy looked like she wasn't too happy with mommy letting people do that. So hopefully mom will be able to get a patch that says to not pet me I am working and that should take care of the problem.....I hope.

Mom found me a mat at a booth that had stuff for dogs. Mom was reaching in her purse to get more money to cover the taxes and the lady who ran the booth was sweet enough that she told mom the twenty would be enough and she would cover the rest after she asked mom if the mat was for me and when she realized I was a service dog. That was kind of neat. Now I have my own mat to lay on when Mom takes me places. It's a nice red corderoy like on one side and then a red with darker leaf pattern on the other side.

Seems like Izzy has been cuddling up to me lately. Not too sure with that. I wouldn't mind it but she tosses and turns like mommy does. No wonder those two don't phase each other when Izzy sleeps on the bed. All I can say is I am glad she does give me more room on the floor. So it was really interesting today when everyone was asking Mom if they could pet me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well not too sure when it comes to playing with the little one but I let her know when she has gone too far. Most of the time though I just turn and walk away in the other direction away from her. Champ seems to enjoy her playing with him and following him though. Which is good because sometime she can get on a dog's nerves. Thank goodness mom was willing to play with her and get her to run around the house and wear herself out. At least when I go out with mom and work I can get me some time away from her and to myself. Seems like Izzy seems to like the bed at the foot of mom's bed. That's fine with me cause I hardly sleep there. Glad mom keeps her on the bed at night so I get my space as well as some love from mom after Izzy is sound asleep. So been kind of rough getting used to the new addition to the family since Friday.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Went with mommy to her doctor appointment. I went under the chair she was sitting in so that I was out of the way. Went with her back to the room for her appointment and layed down in the corner. After the appointment mommy and I went to the police station. Mommy was seeing about offering to educate the officers on the rights of a service dog person and such so that the policemen knew what they could and couldn't do when an instance happened to where they got called to and someone with a service dog was there. Then we came home after that. Wasn't too sure of the doctor's office though. I had never been to this one so it was all new to me. But I made my mommy proud of me because she kept praising me for it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Got to go with Mom, Grammy and Emma today around town. We went to the Pharmacy to pick up mom's medicine. Then we went to Wally World and got some groceries. I stayed right along side mom as she pushed the cart through the store. I even got out of the way for some people to by slowing down and staying behind Mom until I could get back along side of her. A lot of people were asking Mom if they could pet me and Mom told them no and thank you for asking her first. Some college kids walked by and noticed I was a service dog from what of them said and then the other went and said something if that service dog can come in here than why can't I bring my own dog in here. Kind of thought that was kind of uncalled for if you ask me but Mom just ignored them so I did too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I got to go with Mom and Grandma to the DHS office and mom had no problems at all while we were there. In fact mom was talking to someone about a singer named Ben E. King when the lady said she liked Al Green's music. Mom started singing "Stand by Me" and the person at the desk started playing the song as she sang it and caught mom off guard and she laughed. Then we went to the pharmacy to get mom's medicines. Mr. Chuck came over and said Hello to mom and then leaned over the counter and said Hi to me as well. We went to Sonic to get a coke and when mom and grandma got their cokes I got a surprise when they brought me out a milk bone dog biscuit. Boy was I happy to get that. I ate it up right away!!

Went with mom to the clinic as we always do every Wednesday when she volunteers. Mrs. Mary spoiled me with some love when she came in to work and said HI to me. She is my buddy and I so look forward to her coming in. Grandma has been slowly but surely letting mom take me with us more and more. So I have been getting to go to some new places with mom oh what fun!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well mom's niece is here. I have been spoiled lately because she likes to give me a dog biscuit along with Champ and Aquilla. I love getting petted by her too. I also got to ride in the car with her, mom and grandma to Sonic today too.

Last night I had to keep an eye on mom while the side effects of her medicine were triggering her muscle spasms on her face. I layed down on my bed next to where she lays on the bed. Every so often I would get up and go to the side of the bed and whine to get her to reach over and let me know she is okay like I did when she used to have her seizures. She can talk during these though and they have only been happening since she started taking Geodon. Her dr. is working on getting them under control though. But mom was okay and called her friend she had to get off the phone with while this happened and let her know she was okay. I stayed where I could watch her from the side of the bed until mom fell asleep and then went around to the other side where my favorite bed is and went to sleep. Was an interesting night last night.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well this was a very interesting week for me and mommy. Christmas Day at 11 pm we lost power. Mommy started a fire in the fireplace and put my coat on me when the house got to 55 so that I would stay warm. I didn't know what to think of the snow being up to my tummy as I tried to walk through it. Mommy kept me and my buddies Champ and Aquilla Marie warm though by having a fire in the fire place since we had no heat and putting me in my winter coat to help keep me warm. Mom had to pull out her sleeping bag and unzipped it and laid it across her bed with the rest of her blankets and was able to keep herself warm. She put the stuff that needed to be kept cold into a cooler and went outside and put some snow into it to keep them cold until her Uncle could get to the store and get her some ice for them.

  Mom had plenty of food for me and my buddies so we were okay and she had enough medicines as well so she was okay. I still helped remind her to take her medicine even though the first morning after I did what I was supposed to she forgot because of having a panic attack so I helped her to get calm down so she could be level and able to do what was needed even though I kept trying to remind her like I was supposed to do.

  I sure hope we don't go through this again without Grandma here. Because I was worried about her until Mom told me she would be okay. Me and my buddies waited in the kitchen the first night hoping she would come home but she didn't. I am just glad Grandma is home now. So that was what happened this most adventurous Christmas week.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This past Sunday I had to help mommy through one of her panic attacks. I had to get her to keep focusing on me and not the people around her in order to help her get the anxiety attack she was having under control before it went into a panic attack. I got mom calmed down enough to where she was okay and able to make it through the rest of the Church service.

Mom has also been having a hard time as well. My buddy Laddie passed away this year and this is our first Christmas without him with us. I have to worry about helping mom through this for I know I will get lots of love for my hard work in return and that's all I want from her. I still have my buddies Champ and Aquilla so I know I will be okay. All I want is for my mom to get through this Christmas without my buddy here with us.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ While mom was at work I noticed something about her when he was bending over in pain. I went up to her and licked her hand to get her attention and make sure she was okay. Mom had something done by her doctor and was having bad cramps because of it. So I would go up to her every now and then and check on her to make sure she was okay. She would tell me she would be okay once her cramps went away after taking some tylenol and that she was waiting for it to kick in. So I kept checking on her everytime she came back to the table to make sure she was okay.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom's nieces came over Thursday night so things have been alot louder than normal here. I seem to be getting more doggy biscuits than I usually do because of Emma wanting to give us all one. I went with mom, grammy, and nieces to the park today. I got to go for a walk around the park on a walking Path with mom and another time with her and Emma. Then when we went over to the playground where all the kids were a bunch of them came over and wanted to pet me while I was laying down like mom had told me to do. Alot of parents were asking mom about what kind of dog I was and if it was okay to pet me because of my vest. I went for a walk this morning with mom and Emma too. Boy does all this excitement wear an old dog out really quickly. But I enjoy all the petting and treats I seem to be getting. Especially from Emma.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Went with mom wednesday to the Spay & Neuter clinic. I got looked at by the vet to see what was causing my skin to itch so much and Dr. Lacourse checked me out and had the nurse give me a shot to help with it. He told mom to give me the meds my vet is giving her and that the shot will help relieve the itching somewhat as well while the antibiotics will get rid of the itching infection. Dr. Lacourse told mom that I was very well behaved because of how I didn't fight them when they rolled me over and such. Got a visit from Norman the clinic cat. He came up and nuzzled me to say heloo and then went on his way as he always does. Mom did some laundry, and got stuff in order for the clinic. Laura came in with her buddy Bo a labrador she is fostering. Bo seemed to go and pick a toy out of the toys in the lobby and played with it the whole time he was there. He even came over and checked me out. He seemed to like me so I think I made me a new buddy. He even came over and laid down close to my mom and I when his foster mom wasn't there. So it was pretty cool getting to make a new friend that was a dog like me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well thank goodness I didn't have to go there to get spayed because I already was. But I got to lay under the table while Mom volunteered and stamped envelopes and put stickers on ziplocs for the medicine for the dogs who were getting spayed or neutered. Morris the cat even came up to me and nuzzled against me as well a few times. He seemed to just want someone to rub against more then anything. He let me sniff him to check him out as he did that too. He seemed okay. The other cats wouldn't come anywhere near me and just eyed me from a distance. We were at the clinic from 10 am to 1 pm and then mom went home. I got a treat when I got hom for being such a good dog too. Wonder what it will be like the next time Mom goes there to help out.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I have been going to church with mom for the past three weeks and it is okay. I seem to get alot of attention and love from the kids and people there when I go with mom. Poor mom has an anxiety attack when the people come to her greeting her during the church welcome and I have to help her through it by coming up to her and getting her to focus on me and pet me. I don't seem to mind the loud music coming from the live band either. I really enjoy being able to lat down on a cool tile floor instead of carpet though. Feels good and cool compared to the carpet.

  It will be interesting when the time comes when mom gets a puppy to add to the household. Not to sure about that but we will see. At least it will be a girl and mini aussie. So she will always be smaller than me no matter what. So that shall be interesting to see how I can handle that. The one who might not handle it well would be Aquilla Marie who already growls at me for no reason when I only want to come in grammy's bedroom and visit her. Grammy was surprised that Champ let me lay down on his dog bed with him but I did. Kind of nice to have a buddy to sleep with.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well looks like Monday mom and I both went to see the doctor. Me for my paw that hurts and skin condition because of allergies, and Mom for her bronchitis. So I got to go with her into the doctor's office. I was very quiet and stayed out of the doctor's way by moving when he scotted over on his rolling stool. He checked mommy out and told her what to do and said to come back if it continued to be a problem.

   Well Mom has been getting better slowly but surely. I still help remind her with to take her medicines as well as when she has an attack like she did yesterday by staying with her and helping her through it.

   It was really interesting this week having Mom's nieces over. I will say one thing I sure do love all the attention mom's nieces give me especially when I get a milk bone biscuit from the youngest one.

  So glad mom got me some MuddLuks for me to wear on my feet so that I don't get my feet burned walking in the parking lots and the asphalt. They feel kind of awkward but are alot better than walking in my bare feet. Will just have to get used to them is all. Mom plans on getting me some high quality shoes down the road. Well guess I will go take a nap now that the little ones are gone finally. Boy does a 6 year old and 10 year old wear you out when your an old dog.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to go with mom to Old Chicago for her Parrothead (Jimmy Buffett fans) meeting. I was a good girl and was quiet and stayed underneath the table like I was told to do. I also went with mom to the rest room and sat down like I was told to do. Alot of the servers were coming by to see me and pet me. So I seemed to get alot of attention because of me being there. Mom didn't have any access challenges which is good. All her Parrothead friends came by and said hi to me and petted me. Was kind of interesting. I enjoyed the ride there and back in mom's truck. I really have fun when I get to go places with my mom. Hope I can do this again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, mom's niece came by to give her grandma some flowers. While her dad helped Grandma set up her new TV in her bedroom Emma (mom's niece) came in the bedroom with me and mom. Emma was watching me as I laid on my doggy bed next to mom's desk her computer was on. Then I finally got the nerve and got up to see if I could get some petting from Emma. She wasn't too sure of me at first until her aunt told her it was okay and I only wanted her to pet me. Boy did I love it when I got some attention from her. I was enjoying a butt rub with my nose high in the air. Well when she left I just stayed in mom's room and only barked when I saw Mom's brother. For some reason I'm not too sure of him and don't know why. I guess because of how tall he is. Who knows. Other than that it went okay with Emma. I think I like all the attention I can get from her. Hope she comes back again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well looks like mom went and got me some more bandanas for me to wear. She got another pink paisley a bit darker, a hippie like love one, a light blue one with dogs on it, and a blue one with bones on it. She also found a flag like bandana and I think she will have me wearing that one for the 4th of July. I don't mind wearing them. They are alot better than that heavy winter coat she got for me for during the winter. I can't seem to scratch the fleas when I have that coat on. Oh well. At least I can stay alot cooler wearing these instead of doggie clothes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I was listening to mom talk to a friend on the phone yesterday and she was telling them where the name Toad Suck Daze came from. Well from what I heard the story behind it is back when there was just a ferry boat to get across the Arkansas river there was a tavern they would go into and sit down at. Well the locals would always complain about how all they ever did was sit there to where they got as fat as a TOAD from SUCKing down all that beer and coming out of the tavern all DAZEd. Hence the name of the festival. Now today there is a lock and dam named Toad Suck Lock and Dam that crosses the Arkansas river along with a town on the west side of the river called Toad Suck, AR. So not too sure where the name came from other than what I heard mom telling her friend on the phone. So hope that explains where that came from to all my friends. Hope you find that interesting because I'm not really sure what to think of a town being named after a type of frog.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I went with mom to the local event here called Toad Suck Daze in uniform. They had this guy who drove by us wearing a green tux and hat called a Toadmaster. Not too sure why but that is how the event is done. It wasn't too crowded when we went so mom did okay until the crowd started showing up. I let some kids pet me and some of the adults pet me as well. One of the local DJs thought I was sweet and reached over and petted me. Mom even noticed a little girl who looked at me as if she wanted to pet me so we turned around and went back so she could pet me. The little girl said thank you. When we were walking by a basketball boot the guy at the booth didn't notice a large chunk of gladd on the ground and popped the ball and it made a big booom. Scared both me and mom for a moment there but I realized it was that and was okay after that. Mom reached down and petted me to let me know it was okay. We walked by the Police booth and they were trying to figure out where the boom came from and mom told them what had happened so they knew about it. They told her thanks and that they appreciated her letting them know about it because they were trying to figure out where that boom came from.

As we were leaving the event mom started to have a panic attack and stopped for a moment so I pulled her on back to her truck to keep her moving and when we got to the truck she sat down and focused on me to try and get her panic attack under control. Took her about 3-4 minuted but once she got herself together she was fine. I licked her in the face and let her pet me to help her relax. After her attack we went into the coffee shop so she could get something to eat. I was a good girl and layed down on the floor next to mom like I am supposed to. She even gave me a few french fries as well from her lunch. When she finished lunch we went back out to her truck and she lifted me up into the cab and fastened me in with the seatbelt attachment for my harness and we headed home. Boy was I pooped when I got home but Mom rewarded me for being such a great girl by giving me a rawhide square to chew on. Boy did I love that!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not too happy right now after getting a bath. Even though I don't care for them I still behave and do what mommy says to do when she is giving me one. She said I had to get all cleaned up so I could go with her to the local festival. So I guess I will be going in uniform with her to help her out when she has a panic attack from the huge crowd that will be there. I never knew that what I did since I was a pup was actually considered helpful to mom. So at least I am doing something right by trying to comfort her when she has a panic attack even though that's what I have always done since I was a pup when I noticed her having one. Makes me proud when I am able to help my mom come out of one. So I guess I will get to go with her to the event this weekend. I went with her one year and someone came up and told her that she wasn't allowed to bring her pets. This was before I was an ESA and SDIT. Poor mom had to take me home and then go alone. When she got home she had two or three panic attacks and I had to help snap her out of it with my buddy Laddie. We both went up to her and started giving her kisses to help comfort her and get her to relax. So this should be interesting to get to go with mom as a SDIT this year.]]></content:encoded>
