I wish he was still here by my side, young and carefree.  He loved me more than anyone ever could.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Cwazzzzy funster <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/692798">Mick Jagger </a> tagged me......

4 jobs I have:
1. Recycling everything possible in the garbage can through my digestive system
2. Inspecting all things in the garbage can for possible recycling
3. Fertilizing the backyard with all recycleds
4. Eating all the food I can get to

4 places I've lived:
1. Bad house where they called me "Rocket", sillies didn't know my name is Troop; 0-9 mths
2. Houston SPCA; 9mths - 9mths & 9 days, left my balls there, got a tattoo
3. Houston, Texass; 9mths & 10 days - 7 yrs
4. Callyfornia - LOVE IT and never want to leave!

4 of the favourite places I've been (I'm lucky, many vacations revolve, rightly, around me!):
1. upstate Michigan, my first and only airplane ride, skeery, and also where I broke my woman's ribs chasing ducks.... :op
2. Grand Canyon - ooh, glad I didn't see that squirrel that dug that hole
3. Baker Beach, base of the Golden Gate Bridge
4. Mount Shasta

4 places I'd rather be:
1. Next to my woman
2. In the kitchen as my woman cooks 
3. Hangin' my tongue out the car window going 50
4. In the sunny patch by the pool (11am - noon daily)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 'Twas the night before Thanksgiving
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring
not even a *SLUUUUURP  LURRRRRP SLLLLSSSLLLLURP*
"Troop STOP THAT"
*sl-urp*
"Troop!"

The next day my pawsen found an alien lump between my pads on my front paw. I had been licking and chewing it and it was bloody.  The next day after that we went to the vet and I had it cut out.

Since then I have had a lot of turkey leftovers..... my big brown eyes and my bright yellow bandage sure are good for sympathy treats.  NUMMY! More please....

[BTW the lump should be ok and is getting a biopsy just in case]]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes I do have a very pawsome pawrent who saves yummies in the trash for me and reads books like "The Dog Listener" and whose siblings are tired of dog stories but......  After 10 years I finally got my first BULLY STICK!  This is bordering on dog abuse, how could she not know about these delicacies?

It was worth the 10 year wait and let me tell you I must make up for lost time and totally need 1 every week from now on.  Afterall I let them earn my keep every weekday and suffer being left home.

Thank you to my Silly Forum pals, Scooby and Gio, for teaching me about these joysticks [ouch sorry all you boy cows out there].]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday my peeps brought home Mexican *drool* food.... and there was a Ms Steak.  Instead of black beans there were refried beans [very extra creamy and lardy] in the burrito.  
Guess what?  They put it in the trash and went to bed.

Dum, dah dum, dah dum da dum da dum dee dee dee dee....
dah dah dah dum....

Ms Steaks are yummy (though not quite as scrumptious as Mr Steaks and pork chops), what on earth is wrong with lard?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Troop Dawgg....
Loyal and devoted.
Dedicated and true to your name, a trouper.

Always there for a sniff when I get home.
For a huge inhale up my skirt ;-)

Always in the garbage the moment we leave.
In the pantry.
On the counters.
In visitors suitcases.
In my purse looking for that stick of gum.

I love you my goofball.]]></content:encoded>

We went to pretty places where they grow grapes and a friends house in the hills where i tried CAT FOOD! Yummy, there was a giant overflowing dish that i tried to clean up and sneak back to.

Then i took a nap by the fire zzzzzz, so that must be why it 's called Napa.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ And the story is food related.... of course!
I went for my check up.  I love going to the vet, it's a little scary but there are such kind people there who say nice things to me (as long as I don't have to spend the day, but thats another story that is also food related - i ate all of karmas incontinence pills one day....).

The vet took some poop to do the poo test and came back and said:
"Troop has tapeworm"

My person thought; Well that explains the never full syndrome, but asked the vet: "What does tapeworm look like?"

Vet: "Come and look under the microscope.  Tapeworm looks a lot like sesame seeds."

My person: "Hmm, could they be sesame seeds?  Troop had a sesame bagel for breakfast"

Hee hee!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ At first I was so sad.  Someone told me dogs didn't have a sense of taste,  and since I love trying all types of food it broke my heart to think I didn't know what taste was.  Luckily that's not true.  Dogs only have 1/7th the number of tastebuds as people but a billion million zillion more smellbuds.  And a lot of the joy of eating comes from your sense of smell, so THERE!  That's why all those microwave meals have all those smell chemicals and smell so good going round and round in the little oven...

Ok I am off to see what I can find to sniff.]]></content:encoded>
