		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been almost six months since Jarvis left us.  I still think about him every day.  The crushing sadness did end and my heart has healed.  Mostly.

I got teary the other day while I had Diablo at the vet.  I still give his box of ashes a kiss every now and then.  His beloved flashy ball and cancer collar that Ella gave him are on the shelf with his ashes.  Those things make me smile.  Sometimes I accidentally call Diablo Jarvis.  Sometimes our friends do too.  It's okay.  It just means we haven't forgotten him.  I haven't really been able to look at his Dogster page much.  Today was the first day in months that I re-read his diary.  It's more of a comforting sadness now than the sheer anguish I had at first.  I have all my friends to thank for that comfort...

I will always love you Jarvis.  You will forever be my special boy...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is an exceedingly sad time and I'm not really sure what to say.  

As most of you know, Jarvis made his trip to The Bridge yesterday.  The cancer most likely spread to his liver or spleen or both.  They were both enlarged and he was extremely anemic.  He had been going downhill for the past two weeks - not eating much, had to bring him water while he was laying on the couch, stopped playing, going outdoors was a challenge.  He had no energy, almost like he was depressed. I really didn't want to hear what I knew the vet was going to tell me so I kept him home, took care of him, made him eggs, and loved on him as much as possible.  Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and took him to the vet.  He jumped right in the car like always.  Then I suddenly knew just how bad it was.  He usually gets in the car and goes straight to the backseat.  He got in yesterday and just laid across the front seat.  He wouldn't budge.  I had to lift his hind end up and put him in the passenger side so I could drive.  He wouldn't get out once we got to the vet.  Two of the vet techs had to come and lift him out of the car.  When he got in the exam room, he just kind of fell.  The vet examined him and we decided together that he just wasn't going to improve.  The vet said I could bring him home for the day so the kids and my husband could say goodbye.  I called Ron (husband) at work and we decided that bringing him home was being too selfish.  I couldn't bear to see Jarvis stuck in the car like that or to fall down again.  We decided that it was time to say goodbye and give him peace.  I stayed with him the whole time, looking in his eyes and telling him how much we love him while he got the shot.  It was very peaceful.  I'm so glad I was with him when he went.

I know that we did the right thing for him.  I know that he had a good, happy, and loving life.  He brought so much joy to our family and friends (everybody knew about Jarvis Davis - he's a mini celebrity in our neighborhood).  I also know that this crushing sadness will eventually end.  What helps the most is all of our pals on Dogster and Facebook sending so much love and support.  I said it last night and still mean it - words cannot express the gratitude that I feel.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I woke up today just knowing that something special was going to happen.  Dad is working from home today so we were all sleeping in.  I don't get to do the Morning Cuddle very often with Dad.  He has this crazy notion that dogs don't belong in bed.  What a weirdo.  Anyhow, there I was, as Ella would say, being the meatses in the Mama and Daddy sammich.  Diablo was this weird little wandering-around-the-bed side dish or something.  Finally, he settled down by me and we all four had a great snuggly nap.  (Then Diablo got up and tried to poop on the floor - Dad scooped him up and ran him outdoors though.  I stayed snuggly with Mom and laughed)

After we got up, Mom FINALLY checked her email to see that I'm a DDP today!!!  I knew it was going to be a good day.  Thanks HQ!!!  And thanks for my prezzies and well wishes!!

Bark at ya later!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had to go to the vet last week.  (I needed my rabies vaccine and some other booster shots.  I was, of course, very well behaved!)  

The good news is that the vet has a lot of confidence that we might have got all the cancer when the leg was amputated.  He said so many people wait weeks or months to decide to amputate after receiving the diagnosis and that gives the cancer more time to spread.  It was just 3 weeks from our first vet visit to the amputation surgery.  Of course, this cancer typically spreads quickly to the lungs.  We have to watch for me to have very labored breathing - that's how we'll know if the cancer got in there.  So far so good.  It's been almost 2 months since they took my leg (it went to THE Ohio State University even though I decided not to).  We are just trying to enjoy every day that we have together!!

P.S.  I like that little guy a lot better now.  He's fun to play with!  It's also fun to tell him to do bad stuff then watch him get in trouble!!  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The poor guy has to be exhausted....

Dear Dogster/Catster,

Please release Gizmo and Luke from the dog/cat of the week spots. It was wonderful to read all about them but now I would like to see another dog/cat honored there. For all of our pals out there please feel free to copy and paste this message and spread the word to Dogster/Catster that we would like to see Gizmo and Luke set free. FREE GIZMO (and Luke)!!!!!

I’m hoping that if others post the same message that their pals will agree and do the same thing. Maybe if there was a mass movement Dogster/Catster would move this situation up on their “to do” list and set them both free. I admit I am sort of in a panic here because I only have 6 more days before we hit the road again and I will not have access to the internet so my campaign will either be a success or stop short of getting them free. 

Please be aware that this is a very hard request for me to make because I am used to just taking what I want. I did put a lot of thought into it and have been second guessing myself wondering if it is an appropriate thing to request because it could end up in a huge failure where no one will join in on the cause. I decided that not trying was a failure in it's self so what do I really have to loose? I just want to get the word out that Gizmo (and Luke) need to be free and I'm hoping it happens before we leave next weekend.

Hugs, kisses and FREE GIZMO,

Coco Rose]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Some of you pups may have noticed the apparent abscence of the Davis Brothers here on Dogster.  It's Mom's fault.  I've been tellin her to update everypup.  She just says that she'd rather play with us dogs than type or upload photos.  Dang her sentimental logic (although I do get LOTS of treatses these days...)

Anyhow, things are going well around here.  My new brofur and I play and now even nap together!  I taught him how to go poo on the front porch so he can avoid the rain.  I taught him how to shred a Loofa dog too!  He's still to little to do it without my help though!

Yes pups, life is good....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello Everypup,
We haven't been around much.  I blame that dang Devil Puppy, but Mom says it's because she wants to hang out with us pups as much as she can.

The biopsy results came back.  The tumor that was in my leg is malignant.  We knew that was the case, but it didn't hurt to hope.  We are sticking with the decision not to do chemo.  Mom doesn't want me to be miserable.  So we're enjoying every minute that we can together!

I've started playing with Diablo a little more.  It's fun to steal his toys!  At first I would growl at him whenever he came near me and I would stay upstairs in a bedroom away from him.  Now I'm hangin' out in the family room with everyone again like I used to and being more tolerant of the Little Devil.  Howevr, you can't give me any treats when he's close - I'll pretty much eat your hand!  Mom's keeping us separated while eating.  I get growly and it makes Mom nervous (but we all know Mom gets nervous a lot!)

So listen, pups.  Don't be all weepy and teary about the biopsy.  Mom and Dad and I are ok.  We're prepared for what's going to happen.  It's not gonna be easy, but we have a lot of love and are just enjoying each other.  We love you all and thank you for all your support and kindness!

Love,
Jarv]]></content:encoded>

Mom hooked me up Saturday night.  Chicken and rice for dinner, too many treats to count, a pigs ear, and most importantly, she kept Devil Puppy away from me!!!  I know the little guy just wants to play, but dang!  He's a pest!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a Diary Pick?!  Imagine my glee!!!!  Thanks to HQ and all my pals for pressies and notes and such.  If Mom would've been on the computer earlier, I would've said thanks earlier...  I blame the Devil Puppy.

I went to the vet yesterday to have my stitches looked at.  The dogtor says they look great.  Not ready to come out yet, but healing beautifully.  We are still waiting for biopsy results (my leg went to Ohio State!  Without me!!  BOL!)  Mom is still holding out hope that this isn't even cancer.  It's a very slim possibility, but she can still hope right?!  We still think it's for the best not to do the chemo treatments.  It sucks but Mom doesn't want my last months spent being sick and scared.  But hey, I could beat the odds!!  Hope is a good thing....

Love to all my pals!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ They did it.  They got another puppy.  To live here.  With me.  He's 8 weeks old, a black Dober-boy with cropped ears.  So far I kinda like him.  He doesn't want much to do with me yet.  Except that he follows me everywhere!!  And he's loud.  Oh, and he doesn't have a name yet.  I don't know what's wrong with Jarvis the Second.  Mom and Dad wanted to get the new guy here as soon as they could.  Then we can all adjust together.  My leg, or lack thereof, is doing great.  I should get stitches out later this week.  I'm getting better everyday!  Still playful and snuggly as ever!!

New Puppy's page will be up soon (Mom says as soon as his name is official).  Stay tuned everypup.....]]></content:encoded>

Dad got me some new food.  It's salmon!!  We're thinking of putting me on a more healthy diet.  Probably a raw diet.  It's really good for cancer dogs.  Mom's been trying to research it, but is overwhelmed...Wyoming's mom has become my Mom's Cancer Coach.  Arent' Dogsters cool?!

Anywhoodle, it's time for breakfast and I'm a dog on a food mission!!  Love to all my pals!  Your lovins are healing me even quicker, I'm sure of it!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night was a wee bit rough (or *ruff*  I am a dog after all!)  I just couldn't get comfty.  Mom slept on the sofa while I slept on my chair.  I was up and down, up and down.  I'd wince and whimper if I laid on the bad side.  Finally at 3:30 am she gave me a pain pill.  The doctor said to wait til morning, and by Dog it was morning!!!  I slept quietly until 10:30.  

I've had a good breakfast, all my meds, peed and pooped, and even chased a squirrel (it was kinda half hearted, but I still chased the little so and so.  Imagine coming here and bothering me after major surgery!!!)

I'm trying hard to find a comfortable way to lay down.  Tomorrow will be better when I can take some pain medicine (they say no more meds tonight since I still have intravenous meds left in my system from the surgery)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just dropped Jarvis off at the vet for the amputation.  He will probably spend the night.  He's got his blankie with him so he feels warm and safe.  The vet says he should bounce right back and be the same dog he's always been!  I know in my heart he's going to be just fine!

It goes without saying how grateful our family is to all our Dogster pals.

I'll keep you all pupdated.....

Love,
Amy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We're exhausted.  Physically and emotionally.  Sorry this will be a short entry.  But still know how grateful we are for all the love, prayers, and support given to us.  It's just amazing to see so much love...

The leg will be amputated on Tuesday by our regular vet.  We probably will not go through the chemo.  This cancer will spread no matter what we do.  We can't justify the sickness and expense of chemo just to buy us a few more months with Jarvis.  It seems too selfish.  We have a little time to decide for sure on this, but this is how we're leaning right now.

Jarv just had dinner and pain meds.  He should be going nite nite soon.  Again, thank you to everyone.  Words cannot describe how you've all helped us....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The fill-in vet (our regular vet is on vacation) doesn't feel comfortable doing an amputation today.  We don't want "uncomfortable" and "amputation" in the same sentence so we're going to wait until our regularly scheduled appointment next Tuesday.

In the meantime, we made an appointment with a different oncologist to get a second opinion on treatment.  When Daddy called this office they asked if we considered radiation therapy and bone replacement to keep the leg.  WHAT!?!?!?!  The 1st oncologist never mentioned any of that.  We know that keeping the leg is a long shot, but we at least are going to go to this vet to see what they have to say.

Also, while reading the clinical trial info from Ohio State, it pretty much says that we are just prolonging the inevitable.  Chemo will give me anywhere from 1-2 years of life but the cancer WILL spread.  90% of dogs who go through all this die within one year.  90%!!!!  Our original oncologist said as much too, but didn't give us such a high percentage rate.  Going to OSU for this study will be a lot to contend with.  We go 4 times every 3 weeks, then every 2 weeks for awhile, then once a month.  The whole thing will last for a year.  Keep in mind that OSU is about 2 hours away.  Do I want my possible last year with my peeps traveling and on lots of different drugs?  Is this keeping me the happy dog that I've always been?  I just don't know.  This is another reason to see the different doctor.  We need all these questions answered...

We'll let everypup know what's going on tomorrow.  Thank you again for all your love and support.  We love you very much Dogsters!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pals,
Thanks again for all the gifts, well wishes, and prayers.  The Dogster Support System is amazing!!

I'm doing fine.  I am in pain though.  Mom gives me pain meds, they make me pretty drowsy....But I'm still taking my guard dog duties very seriously and still having my daily sunbath by the backdoor!  My appetite is good too.  There's been LOTS of extra treats!!!

My amputation surgery is scheduled for Aug 9 as my vet is on vacation.  Mom's calling tomorrow to see if we can get it pushed up.  We don't want the cancer to have any extra time to spread and Mom doesn't like seeing me in pain.

After the amputation, I may be going to THE Ohio State University.  They're doing a osteosarcoma study and will give the chemo free (or greatly reduced).  We're calling them tomorrow too.  If not we'll suck it up and pay.  I'm worth it like that...

I gotta go now pups.  Dad has some chips and I need to beg!

Thanks Again,
Love,
Jarvis and Mom]]></content:encoded>

The vet said he really couldn't tell what caused it.  It's probably not a sting though.  I got some meds and lots of lovin.  Then the Nervous One took me to Mickey D's for a hamburger (plain of course, she also gets nervous about the onions...)  The vet said I have no restrictions but Miss Nervous is making me lay around and forcing laziness upon me.  At least I got a burger!!]]></content:encoded>

Mom went to give me a smooch and smelled my minty fresh breath, then discovered what was left of the wrapper.  I had a bad taste in my mouf due to the acid reflux.  I was simply self medicating.

By the way, Neurotic Mom called the vet.  Tums are harmless.  They said I may have a hard time pooping.  Yeah right!  I have a bum of steel.  Poopin' like a champ!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been licking my hind end for a few days.  I mean excessive, irritating, never-ending licking.  So Mom gave in and took me to the vet for the dreaded butt milking.  (Yeah, I know the vet calls it expressing the anal glands, but that just sounds so cold and clinical)  Anyhow, it turns out that one is infected.  eeeuuuwww.  So they loaded me up on meds and sent me off.  Now I have to go back again next week for more milking.  As if one shot to my dignity wasn't enough....

Oh wait, there's more.  They also cut my nails which I detest.  Then Mom had the nerve to complain that my heartworm pills cost so much.  That's what you get for my humiliation, woman!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's all I can say.  Wow.  I have the meanest Mom ever.  She came home from a doctor appointment this morning to find a dead squirrel in the driveway.  Did she bring me out for inspection?  No.  Did I get to sniff it?  Pick it up and run like a loon with it?  No and no.  Did I get to roll around in it's stench?  No.  What did I get?  A bucket full of nothin'.  She scooped the carcass up and put it in the garbage can.  Never to been seen again.

He's a friend of mine in real life too (his mom works with my mom).  We went to The Mutt March together some years back.  A pretty cool dude he is.  (Why am I talking like Yoda)  Anyway, go PPR him so he'll really understand this Dogster thing!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I seem to be feeling better.  I'm eating, drinking, peeing, and pooping.  I played fetch with Dad last night.  Mom put the kibosh on that so I didn't hurt myself further.  I still let out a small yelp if I move a certain way, but I'm prancing about the house like my normal self.  Looks like I get to skip the vet.  Yea!!

Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and rosettes and whatnot.  It's so awesome to have such a supportive dog friend network!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm moving a bit slow last night and today.  Mom is hoping that I just have strained a muscle or something like that.  It seems to hurt me toward my hind end.  I wimper at bit when jumping on the sofa.  Sometimes I just stand completely still like I don't want to move at all.  If I'm not myself tomorrow, it's off to the vet.  Keep your paws crossed that I'm just sore and not having a back problem or arthiritis or anything like that....Thanks pals!]]></content:encoded>

I appreciate the fact that you are looking out for my well being.  However, just because you think the chili is too spicy doesn't mean I shouldn't try it to make sure.  I'm a grown up dog and can decide for myself what kind of chili I like.
Thank you,

How it works is that Dad takes a scoop of delicious peanut butter on his finger and schmears it between my upper dog lip and gums.  The object of the game, apparently, is to make my Dad laugh at me as I lick, lick, lick.  I say "who cares"  Laugh all you want, man.  Just continue with the peanut butter!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's me.  Mom and Dad decided that the week before the family is coming for Thanksgiving would be a perfect time to remodel the family room.  Yea....perfect.  They've been running around like fools trying to get it done.  Fools I tell you.  Of course, I had to supervise all the work.  AND my friends (well Mom and Dad's friends) Jamie and Angie were here working too!!!  I had to greet and supervise.  Please keep in mind that the family room is my happy place.  My lookout post/sunbathing spot by the back door is in there.  My sofa and my chair are in there.  I've chewed and clawed that furniture to perfection.  I had to go without those comforts for an entire week.....

But it was finished last night.  It is beautiful!!  Mom got a new cover for the sofa.  She put the blankie that Ella sent me on the chair.  I slept soooooo good last night.  It was bliss!

And today my grandpawrents and Uncle Todd are coming over!!!  I gotta get another nap in before they get here.  Happy Thanksgiving Everypup!!]]></content:encoded>

Hate it, but it's a necessary evil.  Then came the worst.... Mom and I were snuggling on her favorite blanket and she smelled it.  *that* smell...the one that you can't ever deny is yours...After my pawdicure it looks like I'll have the dreaded anal glands expressed.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's right everypup.  I hunted some deer last night.  I am a hunter....Please note that I didn't actually catch anything!  

Mom was opening the door for my bedtime squirt and I went nutsy cuckoo.  Barking and growling and dancing as she opened the door.  I stepped on her feetses trying to get out.  This seems to anger the Mama, by the way.  Anyhow, there were two large deer standing on the sidewalk across the street from our house.  TWO LARGE DEER!!  Mom quickly shut the door before I could get to them.  What the woof?!  She said she didn't want me runnin' like a loon into the street waking up the neighborhood.  After a minute of relentless pacing and growling she let me out so I could get all the excitement out of my system.  I bark, bark, barked at the evil deer to "get outta my 'hood!!!!"  It worked.  They were gone.

I am a hunter....]]></content:encoded>

First I went with Daddy to pick up Mom from her trip to Atlanta.  I know, not that exciting.  But hey, a car ride is a car ride!

Then, I went to work with Mom for a minute so she could do a little mid-vaca paperwork.  I was soooooo good.  I just laid there in her office, minding my own business.  Then I went out on the sales floor with her so everyone could enjoy my good looks.  I was such a good boy, I got my very own burger at the Burger King!!

Mom and Dad were took me to The Petnation Lodge for a sleepover.  I stayed in a room next to a Weinmaraner and was a perfect gentleman.  I also got a bath...boo...but I do smell better.

Mom and my sister took me to the Beggin' Bacon Bash on Saturday.  It was International Bacon Day (what? you didn't know that?)  To celebrate, Purina sponsored the bash.  There were games, bacon cooking demos, a pool to measure the longest dog jump after a ball, dog maze, agility course, and FREE BEGGIN' STRIPS!!!!!!!!!  I was the only Dober there, but there were so many other doggies.  Big ones, little ones, loud ones, Dachsies, Pitties, Labbies, mutts....it was fantastical!

Later, that same day was our neighborhood's block party.  I got to come and play with the neighborhood dogs (and got some smoked pork!)  I started actin' kinda ugly so Mom took me home.  The other dogs were gettin on my nerves, so I was kinda growly-nothin bad, just growly.

All in all it was a monumental week for the Jarv Dawg!!  Hope everypup has a safe and happy Labor Day tomorrow!!]]></content:encoded>

I've been doing the Happy Dog Dance all day!  I had some eggs with her for breakfast and some chippies with her for lunch.  Then we had a nap together....

I'm a happy Dober!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a free dog again!!!  The invisible fence has been repaired and I no longer need supervision in the yard.  I can poo without being watched (it's just creepy...)

I still have to be a Lamphead at night on account of my skinned knee.  Can't stop the lickin!!

But I can run in my yard now with no fear!!!

*actually it was only Mom and Dad who had the fear, I thought this whole broken fence/gettin hit by a motorcycle thing was all fun and games*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good news:
I had a great Woofday!  Thanks for all the prezzies and notes and well wishes!!
I am out of jail on Tuesday, if not sooner!
I am fine, just a skinned knee (this will make sense in a minute)

Bad news:
I darted into the street and got clipped* by Mom and Dad's friend's motorcycle (see above - I am fine)
I have to wear The Cone of Shame (so I don't lick off the Neosporin - that stuff is tasty!!)

*Before the Biker Dude could get his had to the brake, I zigged when I shoulda zagged.  Mom and Dad didn't even know that it happened.  I didn't yelp or anything!!  All that happened was that I got my feets knocked out from under me and scraped up my knee.  Mom was up most of the night checking on me, over-reacting as usual.  Dad and my sis are home with me today.  I'm just gonna lay around and get lovins and extra care.  It's great actually, they're catering to my every need!!!  Also, it put my house on top priority for the fence people.  We're scheduled for repair on Tuesday, but if a cancellation comes up they come to us first  :)

I'll keep you all pupdated on my recovery/parole!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's come to this.  Solitary confinement.  In the hole......What happened to my inmate rights?!

Last night was the last night of the neighborhood festival which takes place right across the street from my house.  We live in the community which is home to Rozzi's Famous Fireworks so the Festival gets quite a large show.  Anyhow, I feel that my bark alone has the power to stop fireworks and thunder.  So needless to say, Festival Night is loud in more than one way....

Mom decided to keep me in the basement during the fireworks show.  It worked for awhile.  Then the Grand Finale started and I heard the faint booms of far away fireworks and the piteous whining ensued.  Mom let me out after it was over.  THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO BARK AT!!!!!!!!  Locks me in the hole then makes me miss my barking opportunities.  Mean.

**note from Mom** The basement is finished with carpeting, leather sofas, etc.  Jarv was down there watching TV and eating chips with his Mom and Sister.......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Me?  A Diary Pick of the Day?!  Mom doesn't even let me write that often!!

I've been so busy barking at the thunderstorms the past 2 nights that I haven't really noticed too much else.  I am convinced that my bark alone can stop thunder!  So far it hasn't but I keep trying....

I'm still on House Arrest, by the way.  Warden Mom has given me a bit more freedom, but she still watches too much for my liking.

I'm off to find Chuck the Duck.  He's my favorite squeeky toy.  Somehow my parents find a way to hide him so they don't have to hear the squeeky, quacky, nonsense.

Thanks Dogster for picking me!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's what I need.  Canine Counsel.  See, my Invisible Fence is broken.  I really hadn't noticed much.  I've left my boundaries, but always can runnin when called.  Not the other night.  New dogs on a walk.  Off I went.  INTO THE STREET!!!!  Mom says she was yellin for me to stop and whatnot.  I'm not so sure.  I need representation to protect my rights.  I was coerced into that street.  Mom was neglectful in her duties.  

Anyhow, as a result of my Forrest Gump Run, I'm grounded.  On house arrest if you will.  I can't go anywhere without Eagle Eye Mom watchin me.  She says the fence people will be here this week and my sentence will be lifted.  Until then no poo will go unwatched.....I hate this!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to go on a quick car ride to Granny's today!  We had to pick up my sister.  No big woop.  Or so I thought!  I got there and Mom leashed me up (she never does this at Granny's)  There was a small white dog next door bitch barking (thank you for that term <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/36081">Gussie</a>)  Mom said hi to the wee beastie.  His name is Skipper.  Whatev.  I just looked at him.  He didn't seem fun at all.  Besides,  I had human folk across the street beckoning me!  I was loved on and adored by all of Granny's neighbors.  Told me I was just beautiful......sigh.   Then into the house we went.  Poppa gave me some breakfast sausage.  I performed all my party tricks - sit, paw, lay down, head down.  And yummo!  Rewarded with Bob Evans goodness!!!

So, what I thought was a quick trip to pick up the youngin turned into a jolly time.  I met Skip-a-dee-doo-dah (whatever, bitch barker), got lovins, and glorious sausage!!]]></content:encoded>

When your Mom comes to the door to see if you're standing there, looking pitiful, wanting to come in, you need to hide.  Then wait til you know she's gone back in and sat down.  At this point you should whine piteously.  Then she has to get her butt back up to come and let you in :)  Good times!

Then within 10-15 minutes of being in, whine piteously to go back out.  This really is fun!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It seems the Underground Pet Containment System had a breach during the winter.  I got busted meandering into the neighbor's yard.  (Dad fixed it.)  Then I got busted Counter Surfing for Easter ham.  Then, not only did I kill my Rubber Chicken, I got busted getting in the garbage to retrieve it's carcass!  Yup, I'm grounded....

On an up note....Mom and I were on our walk and saw a Small Child out playing.  (We don't know the child in question)  Small Child yelled "Doggie", dropped his toy, and ran straight over to us.  Mom had me sit which put me at direct eye level with Small Child.  He then proceeded to kiss me RIGHT ON THE NOSE!!  He yelled "Thanks" and ran back to his toy.  (His Dad reprimanded him for running to a strange dog, Mom assured him that I was safe)  Mom says it was precious.  I say this is how all people should greet me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been quite a day, y'all.  Actually, just this evening.  The water heater broke so we had to go buy a new one.  Then Dad's buddy came to help Dad install it.  The buddy came on a MOTORCYCLE!!!  I got to bark my fool head off at it (I usually don't get to do this when Mom and Dad leave on their bike)  I tried to go down and help Dad and Buddy work.  You know, male bonding and tools and whatnot.  However, the buddy's girlfriend came too.  She's pretty so I decided to hang with her and Mom and Furless Sister instead.  Plus Mom had chicken to share.  Later, Dad had to go buy supplies so off I went to run the yard.  Neighbors came to visit.  My paws were caked in mud (Mom - not happy about that part)  Buddy #1 had to leave so Buddy #2 stepped in to help.  Yea, more man time.  This time, I hung closer to the mens.  You know, to help out.  Eventually, I got bored and came upstairs to de-stuff my loofa dog.  The water heater is up and running.  Just waiting for the water to warm up!  All in all, I'm beat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How could my Mom ship me off for A Day of Beauty at a time like this?!  There's like 200 feet of snow on the ground here.  It's almost as long as my legs (and let's face it, I am Lankenstein)   Did I need to be out gallivanting around in slush and muck?  For a bath and pawdicure of all things?  I think not.  I would have been just fine right here on the sofa thankyouverymuch.  

I do smell good though.  And my claws don't click on the floor now.  And I got a spiffy neckerchief (which she has already re-tied as a doo rag on my clean head).  At a time like this......sigh.....]]></content:encoded>

It has a split down the center and it's innards are visible.  Pawsonally, I could care less.  Mom, however thinks small parts could dislodge and choke her handsome Dober Boy.  She has promised to stop at Petsmart on the way home to get a replacement.  If not, bring on the duct tape, baby.  I'll never go without my favoritist toy ever....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ten Ways my Mom knows I am Me - Jarvis Davis.


1.  I fart.  Loudly.  If there are SBDs, it's not me.

2.  If I'm not giving you an unnerving stare when I need to go out, it's not me.

3.  If I go willingly out into the rain, it's not me.

4.  If I don't greet you with a head butt in the center of your thighs, it's not me.

5.  If I don't spend the better part of my day lying by the sliding glass door, it's not me.

6.  If I don't carry Chuck the Duck around in my mouth, it's not me.

7.  If I don't whine piteously at Chuck the Duck, it's not me.

8.  If I don't sit and crunch on my Flashy Ball, it's not me.

9.  If I'm not trying to put my entire Dober-self in your lap, it's not me.

10.  If I stop checking in on my Dogster pals, then my Mom is a lazy-butt!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I haven't written in my diary for awhile.  I blame Mom.  

I'm very disappointed in her by the way.  For the past two Sundays her and Dad have blown me off for Harley rides.  They keep saying that it's going to get too cold to ride soon.  Whatever, jerks.  Last night Mom flounced in reeking of Greta the Rottweiler.  I wished I could've picked up the phone to discuss this with <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/413363/diary/Maxs_musings/635936">Maxwell</a>.  Seems my Mom also likes to cheat......

We are very happy though that <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/953376">Sweet Pepper</a> is cancer free!!!  So good to have positive news!!!

Mom has been reading about lots of my Pupper Pals planning their Christmas cards.  She thinks she can make up her poor treatment of me by getting cards out to you guys.  Send us a pawmail with your addresses.  Of course, she didn't keep any from last year.  Slacker.

Happy Thanksgiving Everypup!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, last year we took a fabulous trip to the Mutt March.  In fact, I am in the photo album along with my pal Nimbus Miguel.  Check us out <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.hugsfromjeni.org/">here</a>.  (I think you have to click on 2008 Mutt March and look at the album.  For whatever reason it wouldn't link straight to me.  Nimbus is the husky mix dressed as Batman)

Alas.....this year we missed the Mutt March. We think it was this past Sunday.  Poor advertising and a lazy Momma are to blame (she coulda called someone, ya know!)  *sigh*

Oh well.  At least I didn't know about it on Sunday.  We had a house full of Daddy's friends watchin' the Bengals game and eatin' chili!!! WHO DEY and yummers!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I like rain, yet hate it all at the same time.  

I know, I'm a large imposing kind of dog.  Some even call me a "bully breed".  However, I hate going out in the rain.  Hate wet feet.  Hate to go into the yard to pee.  On a rainy day, I'll do my business on the front porch (it's covered and dry)  So really, as big as I am, in reality I am a delicate flower of a dog.

On the good side, rain means snuggles!!  I play the poor pitiful wet, cold dog routine and get right up on the couch to warm up.  Also when it rains the peeps tend to sleep later.  More Morning Cuddle time!!

Today, Mom is home sick.  And it's rainy.  She won't let me out a lot since she doesn't want to get off the couch.  And she needs me tend to her needs.  Which means nobody is gettin off the couch today.  WAHOO!!!]]></content:encoded>

She says it's the brand name from Target.  I have my doubts......Hand-me-down or not, the bed is quite cozy!

My old bed stayed at Baby Daddy's from when I went to stay there last month.  Walter the Weiner Dog enjoyed it so much I let him keep it.  I hear he spends most of his time on that bed.

Bark at y'all later!]]></content:encoded>

I ate the chicken so fast Mom's not sure how I even tasted it.  Let me tell ya, it was nummers!!!!  Then a got a hunk of bread and butter.  Honestly, the bread wasn't so good.  Mom may make croutons out of it.  Maybe she'll figure out that Bread Machine and hook us up with a nice sourdough......]]></content:encoded>

They have seen fit to overhauling the lawn.  Grass seed, penn mulch, fertilizer, etc.  While all this work is taking place, I am being watched while outdoors.  They don't want me disturbing the mulch, scattering grass seed, eating weed killer, yadda, yadda, yadda.....

First of all, your "lawn" is my TOILET!!!

Secondly, I have a domain to protect.  How can I make my perimeter check with you all watching me?!  I have to rid the area of varmints and interlopers.  It is a characteristic of my breed, I know what I'm doin' here!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got a time out last night.  Seems Mom and Small Furless Sister cannot appreciate my innate protections skills.

Well, sure, I was barking at EVERYTHING.  But you can't be too sure.  The car door that was slammed down the street coulda been Al-Qaida.  When the Furless One stood up to go to the bathroom, she coulda been abducted.  You simply can't know so you must bark and growl to be safe.  When I was told to sit or to hush, I'd just ignore it.  I was on my own personal safety crusade.  No Momma was gonna tell ME what to do!!

Finally, Mom pulled my Dober butt up on the sofa and went all Dog Whisperer on me.  Holding me down so I'd remember who was boss and blah, blah, blah.  Told me I was in time out until I could remember who was in charge and that I was to listen to her.  Finally, I succumbed.  I stayed there with my Dober head in her lap and fell asleep.  She won......]]></content:encoded>

So we walk into the Vet's office and who do you think is there?  Another RED Dober!!!  A full, stocky guy with cropped ears.  He hated me on sight.  He growled real low then barked at me!  What the Dog?!   I was just standin there mindin my business!  Mom says he was intimidated by my attractiveness.  Kinda like when a woman walks into a party and someone else has on the same dress.  GRRR!

Anyhoo, I received a clean bill of health.  No butt pokins!!  Mom followed me around this morning so she could pick up my poo to take with us.  They did draw some blood out of my leg.  Gave me a smart little bandage for it.  I chewed it right off!  Got a pedicure, too!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You know that paw pad thingy that is up higher on your leg?  Kinda like a doggy thumb?  Not the dew claw, but that other useless pad?  You all with me so far?

Well, apparently there is a large chunk missing from one of mine!  Yesterday, Mom kept noticing small spots of really light blood on the sofa.  She checked me over and found nothing.  Later she found the blood next to me on her bed!!  She then saw that place on the useless Thumb Paw Pad.  A piece of it was just hanging there.  eeuuwww....  

She put Neo-sporin on it, wrapped it up, and called the vet.  By this time she was about hyperventilating.  The vet says this happens all the time!!  If the piece doesn't fall off on it's own, then bring me down on Friday and they'll snip it off.  Mom then felt kinda sheepish for the panic and all.  

I, myself, barely noticed it.  Not even a lot of licking!  It's much better today and looks mostly healed.  (We're going to the vet anyway, though.  GAH!  I need the heartworm test and a pedicure and flea meds.)

Never in all of Mom's dog lovin life had she seen this happen.  Who knew?!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is at the end of her rope today.  There is some sort of Squirrel Disturbance going on outside and I have been a complete crazy man!  The little jerks are out there frolicking and cavorting.  Climbing on fence posts and the neighbor's deck.  They're chasing one another around tree trunks.  And then they go from tree to rooftop to tree to neighbor's rooftop.  Scampering about and taunting me!!!  I'm sure the vermin are laughin at me....

I've been barkin my fool head off and whining to get outside to get them.
 
I've been jumping up and lunging into the sliding glass door.  Mom's afraid I'm gonna go right through it someday......

I'm pacing and panting and shaking.

She lets me out to go after the little *$#! and off they go.  Outside of my perimeter!!

I'm frustrated and at this point exhausted.  Mom wants a potato gun!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So....I've not been eating my food.  Purina One Lamb and Rice.  Mom has tried adding canned food, cheese, gravy, leftovers, hot dogs, etc.  I will only eat it with additives, never just by itself.

Mom brought me a new brand.  Pedigree Large Breed.  Yum, yum, yummers!!!  She mixed my old food in so I wouldn't get the poops, but I just ate around it.  BOL!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...was great!!!  Mostly....

My furless sister took me for a walk around the block.  Twice.  Two neighbor dogs, Lucky and One Whose Name I Never Caught And Am Now Too Embarassed To Ask, came to run and play with me.  Food and treats galore.  Dad and I played ball.

Then on Sunday, Duke came over.  He's the yellow lab from across the street.  He wasn't too keen on playin with me.  He marked EVERYTHING in my yard.  Then he pooped!!!!!!  His Dad said he'd go get a bag and Mom told him not to worry about it.   WHAT THE DOG?!  I don't want his poo in my domain!  Mom said we had enough poo of our own and one more pile wouldn't make a difference.  She said the kids would just get that pile when they got all of my piles.  Then Mom told Duke's dad that I could come over and poop in his yard sometime.  Said that would make it even.  Guess that works for me!

Now it's Monday and I gotta rest.  I heard Mom say something about a vet appointment for next week.......ugh.  Bum pokins are comin....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to be Errand Dog this morning with Mom.  We dropped the Furless one off at school.  Then we went to McDonalds drive thru (Egg McMuffin schnibbles are delish)  Then we were going to pick up something at Mom's job (she's on vaca this week-yay).  Mom decided to go up to Wiggley Field Dog Park and let me burn some energy.  WAHOOOOOO!!

I met a sweet girl named Bella and another dog whose name I didn't catch.  The three of us got along great.  We ran around and what not.  Mostly, we all kinda kept to ourselves.  

Then......the new guy came.  He was just your average BBD (big black dog).  His name was Tank.  We all greeted one another like normal dogs.  But Tank wanted to play with me.  He told me this by barking loudly in my face.  I tried to use my manners.  I gave him my best play bow and everything.  Still, right up in my grill-bark, bark, bark!!!  He was not aware of personal space!  So I gave him a little warning growl.  Nothin' fierce, just a low growl.  He got right back in there with the barking.  So.....I went ahead and showed him my teeth.  This is when Mom said "whoopsie!  Time to go"     ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!      I was just gettin' started!  I coulda shown this clown what kind of dog I really am!  Mom thinks Tank's mom should have pulled him back and corrected his bad barking behavior.  She was also nervous that the other dog park patrons would be all "oh, that Doberman is vicious" and what not.  Whatever.  Tank had no manners and I was done with him in my face!

On the way to the car, a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback got out of her car.  Mom wanted to meet her, but Tank blew it for us.......  
That dang Tank dog!!!]]></content:encoded>

Mom couldn't sleep, so off she went to the couch.  Dad called me up on the bed for some spoonin!!!!  When Mom came back to the bed, I was banished to the floor.  I spent the rest of the night on the comforter on the floor.  (I never get to sleep in the peep's bedroom at night!!!)  Since Mom doesn't have to work until 11:00, we get to take a quick nap.  More snugglin!!!!!  

So....while it sucked for Mom to be awake half the night, it was great for me to be snuggled and with the peeps!!!]]></content:encoded>

I feel as if I need to supervise.  Mom feels as if I will get in the way.  So I've spent the morning pacing.  And barking.  And pacing.  And making that frustrated huff noise.  And pacing.  I'm very nervous about a yard full of workers......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Daddy just got his brand new car.  It's the 2010 Camaro SS.  It's black with a two tone black and orange interior.  He ordered it in October and brought it home on Friday.  The dealer says it's the first one in Cincinnati.  It's completely cool!!

He took it out yesterday for a spin and folks were following him and asking if they could take pictures with it and such.  He felt like a celebrity.  When he got home I helped him wash and wax her (ok, I stood guard while he worked)

Anywhoodle, this morning a police officer had someone pulled over right in front of our driveway.  After Mom opened the garage, the policeman asked if he could come and see the car.  Then his police officer buddy came by and he is a K9 cop!!!!  His police dog was left in the cruiser barkin' his fool head off!!  He was tellin' me what a pretty car my Daddy has and that I sure look like a lucky dog.  Mom is sure that the Police Dog was throwin' out compliments as I didn't even utter a growl back at him.  Of course, Mom wanted to meet said Police Dog, but was pretty sure that the cop might say no since the dog was on duty and all.  I hope the neighbors weren't thinkin' we were in trouble or nothin' since we had 2 police officers hangin' out in our garage!  

The only bad thing about this new car of Daddy's is that he won't let me ride in it.......something about new car smell not mixing with my doggie scent!]]></content:encoded>

Then, it was time for dinner!!!  I was an extremely good boy and laid down in the living room during dinner.  No begging whatsoever.  When the fam got up to clear the table, it was ON!!  I got ham, mashed potatoes, ham, mac n cheese, asparagus, more ham, some corn, deviled eggs, and yes a little more ham.  Then I even got a schnibble of carrot cake!!  

Yum.  Yum.  Yummers.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (That's short for Cincinnati)  It's been gorgeous here the past couple of days.  Mid 60's and sunny with a nice breeze......ahhhhhhh.  I feel bad for all my Northern pals who are still dealing with snow and such!

Yesterday was Mom's day off.  Dad took a "sick" day.  Whatever, Hooky Boy.  Anyhow, they stayed with me all day.  They slept in with me right in the middle!  I got to run errands with Mom.  And I got my very own box of Chicken Fries for lunch (thanks <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/244336/diary/Why_my_mom_is_mean/572388">Lou</a>)  The lady at the Burger King thought I was so handsome, she took my picture with her cell phone.  (except she heard Mom wrong and thought my name was Travis)  I helped Dad work on the bike.  I played ball with Mom and the furless sister.  I slept good last night!

Today, I just had Mom with me.  We took a nice long nap.  Except for the people next door (meaning behind our neighborhood)  We live next to Rozzi's Famous Fireworks.  They make 'em over there and sometimes they test 'em.  Makes me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!  Imagine, napping with your Mom and hearing a loud boom!  Then to make it worse, Mom just laughs at me barkin' my fool head off!!!  Laughter?!  At a time like this?!  sheesh.  

At least I got some good quality time in this week.  The rain is comin in tonight.  Muddy feetses, here I come!]]></content:encoded>

I, too brought a little of the outdoors in this morning.  I went out, ate a lot of new spring grass, came in, and promptly threw it up on the carpet.  A little bit of green, ya know?!  (Well and yellow cuz it was vomit after all...)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ....may have been the best day of my dog-life!!!

Mom and I slept late and snuggled.  Then she took me for a walk (we have the invisible fence thing so I NEVER go on walks)  During the walk I saw lots of other dogs who were jealous that I was out and they weren't.  Or maybe they were jealous of my handsomosity, can't be sure.  I also got to see my neighbors-Emma the Golden Retriever and Abby-the Westie.  There was butt sniffins' all around.  I almost got a squirrel.  The little *^!*er was only about 4 feet from me (damn that leash!!)  When we got back to our yard, the mail-lady was there with biscuits for me!!!!  She loves me!

Then Daddy came home and gave me  extra ear rubbins'.  Mom and Dad took the Harley out for a few hours so I got to lounge in their bed.  Then I helped Daddy change some part thingy on the bike.  OK, I didn't help a whole lot, but I kept the squirrels away!

Then Mom and furless sister came home and took me to the park!!!  Two walks in one day!!!!  Can you believe that?!  Everyone loved me at the park.  One little girl asked if I was one of those runnin' dogs (she meant a greyhound-BOL!)

I slept so good last night......Rumour has it, we're walking again tonight.  Yay me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup.  

That's what Mom called me.

 A thief.  

Just because she left half a bag of delicious Swedish Fish within nose height.  I can't help her carelessness.  I can't help that I'm a tall Dober (so lots of stuff is at nose height)  Anyway, I took the Fish, finished them off and left the bag on the floor.  

I was just thinkin' she left them out for me.  That does not make me a thief!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Should I have guilt for this?  

I removed several Pup Pals from my list.  

Will these dogs find out?

The truth is that I didn't like that I got notified everyday when they had a new picture of their head on a human body.  You know how much I hate that!  Also, it's not like we talked or anything.  These were just kinda stranger dogs to me.......Not like my Bestest Buds that I like to check on regularly.

I hope this doesn't make me a bad dog.......]]></content:encoded>

We had Roast Beast for dinner.  Yummo.  I got spoonfuls of gravy on my kibble.  I got to pre-rinse the plates before they went into the dishwasher.  I even got to stick my unusually long snout onto the counter to surf for any residual gravy.

A good night was had by all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For the Name Game

Mom and Dad spent the entire car ride home from getting me discussing names.  I, of course, was snuggly and sleepy in Mom's lap.  Daddy said I was pure sweetness.  Mom suggested Payton (football lovin pups will note that the late star running back Walter Payton was sometimes nicknamed "Sweetness")  They decided Payton was a bit too trendy.  I couldn't be Walter since Mom already had a dog named Walter with Baby Daddy.  

Then Mom suggested Kevin.  Dad said no.

We got home and Dad Googled German names (a Dober is of German descent, you know)  He suggested Drago.  Mom said she would always be following me around saying "I must break you" in a bad accent due to "Rocky 3 or 4" (the Russian fighter dude).

Then Mom suggested Kevin.  Dad said no.

Dad found Jarvis which means "spearman".  Mom liked it.  It's German and they agreed on it so it stuck.  Incidentally, I've never even seen a spear.

And to think, I coulda been Kevin......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lots of us have seen this before, but it's too funny not to post.

WHAT PETS WRITE IN THEIR DIARIES.....

     Excerpts from a Dog's Diary.......
     
8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing!
9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing!
9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing!
10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing!
12:00 pm - Lunch! My favorite thing!
 1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favorite thing!
 3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing!
 5:00 pm - Milk Bones! My favorite thing!
 7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing!
 8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing!
11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!
        

       Excerpts from a Cat 's Daily Diary...
   
        
Day 983 of my captivity...

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.  They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. 

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.  In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet..  I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of.  However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.  I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.  However, I could hear the noises and smell the food.  I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.'  I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.  I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.  The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return.  He is obviously retarded.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've never had a girlfriend before.
 
Not sure what my duties would be.  

I don't have any money in which to buy her things.  I don't have a job and Mom keeps tellin' me how much money I owe her!

I really do not like when there are those pics of dog's heads on people's bodies dressed in ball gowns or tuxes and send out wedding invitations and other such nonsense.  So I hope that's not a boyfriend requirement.  Sorry if that offends anyone, it's just not my thing!

I am a loyal and loving sort of boy.

And, Pepper is mighty cute!

What if she finds another dog more suited to her?!  Will I be devastated?  Will we still be pals?

We'll have to see......but she sure is cute......]]></content:encoded>

I've gained 2.6 lbs!  Yup, I'm 71.8 lbs. of snugglin' Dober love!!  I'm huge!!  hehehe.  Actually, I'm about 20 lbs less than my biological dad is/was.  And about 5 lbs less than my mom.  I'm not at all stocky and muscular like a Dobie is supposed to be.  I'm a tall, skinny, lanky type boy.  Skin and bones if you will.  (I purposely stay skinny so I can cuddle better.  Can I get in someone's lap now?)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, that's me.  In trouble again. 

Mom gave the furless kids a Valentine treat.  Fancy, decorated Chinese take-out boxes filled with Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts.

The Short One (youngest of the furless kids) left hers sitting on the sofa.  Guess who helped himself to Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts?!

Yep, that's me.  In trouble again.

Dad was ready to rush me to the emergency vet.  Mom calmed him down and told him it wasn't that bad.  I didn't eat the WHOLE box.  Also, the darker the chocolate, the more damaging to the dog.  Since these were milk chocolate and mostly (luscious) peanut butter, I was not really in any danger.  She called the vet to confirm.  I'll probably have some colorful foil wrapper poo soon!!

However, I'm still in trouble for thieveing.

Dad said no treats for the rest of the day.....guess I deserve that one.  Everybody remind me around Easter time not to be a thief!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is calling the vet to see if there have been any cancellations.....

I barfed again either overnight or this morning.  Mom can't tell because she just found it on my favorite chair as she was leaving for work this morning.  She saw me have a healthy solid poo this morning so we don't think I have any blockage or anything (plus all the curtains are still intact-BOL <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/296339">Rajah</a>!!!)  I haven't thrown up since Sunday and I have been eating and drinking just fine.

It's perplexing.....We'll keep all our pals posted!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, there was some sort of emergency at the vet and they had to reschedule me.  Not such a big deal because this tummy problem has been goin on for a couple of weeks.  Mom is sure it's the acid reflux!!  The thing is that I only yak when I haven't eaten in awhile.  The vet said to make sure I'm gettin snacks to keep somethin in my belly.  Yay snacks!!  By the way, has anyone tried bologna?  YUM!  Anyhow, I'm going Monday morning.

Thanks to everyone for all the rosettes and well wishes.  It's so nice to be loved.

We'll keep you posted.....Love to all my Dogsters!!]]></content:encoded>

Well, they got Dorfus right.

Listen, pups, I'm not sure what I did to deserve this, but I had a veritable FEAST tonight.  Mom made pot roast.  She mixed 3 huge spoonfuls of gravy with my food (dry nasty crap).  Then Daddy gave me ALL the plates to lick clean.  He said we were having the Doggie Rinse Cycle.  Then Mom let me lick the serving plate clean (chunks of beef!!!!).  The I got one (1) peanut butter M&M for dessert.

Yes, pups, I am one happy boy    : )]]></content:encoded>

Last night Mom made this glorious sausage, spinach, and egg quiche for dinner (yeah, breakfast for dinner).  She re-heated leftovers this morning.  I was sure there were remnants on the counter.  So I put my front feet upon said counter in order to get a better view.  

Clearly, I forgot that Mom was right there in the kitchen with me!  Duh.  So she busted me.  Told me that I knew better than that.  Reminded me of my manners.  blah blah blah.  If she'd just given me some quiche, I never would've got caught!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm ALWAYS on Guard Duty.  Ever vigilant against squirrels, other dogs, people taking walks, blowing leaves, Yellow Cat, etc.  When I see these intruders outside my back door, I bark my fool head off.  Anytime.  Day or night.  Generally, I am chastised for this behavior.  They claim the barking is annoying.  Whatever.

Today all my practice paid off!  Mom and I were having a lounge on the sofa.  Then some dude comes walking up to my back door!!!  SOME STRANGE GUY!!!  So I freaked out.  Barkin and jumpin up at the door.  My hair on my back stood up.  I was fierce and angry!!

Turns out, the guy wanted to know if Mom wanted him to snow blow the driveway (we got like 6" of snow last night).  Pretty harmless really.

But, he said......"Whatever you do, keep that dog inside"......

That dog.  Fierce.  Angry.  Big.  Dog.  Jarvis the Guard Dog.]]></content:encoded>

Mom came downstairs today to discover yet another hole in the cushion of the chair in the family room.

Not sure what the big deal is.  I've already ruined the chair, ottoman, and the couch.  I mean none of it can be saved.  Who cares if it's worse.

Go shoppin already and buy some new stuff!  It's not my fault she bought sub-standard chenille covered furniture.  I have claws, woman!  Buy me somethin sturdy!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was party to an actual New Year's Miracle......

I found my Flashy Ball!!!!!!!!!!

So happy.  So surprised.  I'm going to keep a closer eye on it from now on.  It cannot get too close to the sofa in the basement or to my big sister's bed or to Mom and Dad's bed.  I have found it in all 3 of those places.  From here on out it will be within paw's reach.

I love my Flashy Ball!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well good news is that my parents have decided to stay at home and spend New Year's Eve with ME!!!   I know that I am way more fun than some dumb old party so they have decided to stay here with ME!!!  

OK, technically my Daddy is sick and doesn't want to go to the party.  And also it was a party at a dog friendly farm and I was invited.  However, I feel better thinkin' that they picked ME and a warm fire over a party!!!

Also, I had a day of beauty at the Spa at Petsmart.  So I am clean smelling and gorgeous for my night with Mom and Dad!!

Think I'll get champagne?!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Remember Benson, the Christmas Miracle Rescue dog that my Mom and her co-workers saved?  We got a pup-date on him.

He lives in Louisville.  His named has been changed to Barkley.  He is healthy and house trained.  He did end up having a micro-chip.  The new people contacted his owner.  The owner said he had made a mistake in getting a dog.  He just wasn't home enough and the dog had escaped twice already (he'd only owned him for 2 weeks!)  That also means that the guy kept that poor dog outdoors!  It was only about 29 degrees that day.  Too cold for outdoor living.  Anyhow, the owner guy told the new people that they should keep him!!  As long as they were offering a loving home the dog is just better off.  So maybe the guy had some sense!!!

So Barkley has a loving furever home.  He has a neighbor dog to play with and a dog park near his house!!  His new parents are absolutely in love with him!!!

I do love me a happy ending!!!]]></content:encoded>

I look across the street and there HE is.  That damn yellow cat.  The one who taunts me.  I DO NOT like Yellow Cat.

So, I proceeded to bark my fool head off.  I was so angry that the fur all along my spine was standing up.

Mom called me a Doberman Ridgeback and made me come in.

Yellow Cat be warned!  I will find you someday..........]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Twice.  TWICE.  My Mom has come home smelling of puppies.  10 week old puppies. 
 
Puppy breath.  

Big puppy heads.  

Puppy paws.

Twice.  In one day.

First, her boss brought in her new Brussels Griffon puppy named Madge.  Then she met an English Mastiff puppy who was so new that he didn't have a name yet!

These creatures are givin' me a run for my money.........]]></content:encoded>

Looks like all my sick pals (Rajah, Priscilla, Roxy) are on the mend and ready for their Christmas romp!!

I already opened my presents.  I got a blue ball with paw prints on it and I looooooove it!!  I also got this weird rubber duck thing that quacks and is wearing a wife-beater.  Not quite sure about him yet.

Mom will put up some pictures soon.  I gotta go and try my paw at Guitar Hero with the kids.  I may not have thumbs, but I'm sure I can ROCK!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Mom works at a bridal salon.  Today was busy with brides and bridesmaids and all that wedding hoopla.  Mom was workin' her little butt off.

She looked out the front door and saw a smallish (compared to me) black dog dodging traffic.  She ran out and grabbed his collar to call his parents to come get him.  His collar had no tags or anything.  

Well, all the co-workers just couldn't send him off to jail (the pound).  He hung out in the bridesmaids department for a few hours.  Everyone was desperately making phone calls to anyone who may want a dog.  All the no-kill shelters were full.  They named him Benson.  (that's the name of the street where the store is)

Mom was in the fitting room talking to a bride and said "you guys like dogs?  We got a stray who needs help"

Long story short, the bride's sister took Benson home!!!!!  The bride's Mom, Dad, brother, sister, and the sister's husband all came down to meet the dog.  They spent 2 hours in the store getting to know him.  The dog kinda stole the show away from the bride.  (she did find her gown : )  They were good people and you could just tell they were dog lovers and would treat him well.  They got Mom's email address to keep her updated.

A life was saved!!!!  YAY!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love it when Mom is on the couch with her laptop!  That way I can sit beside her and irritate the s*#! out of her.  It's great fun!

First, I bring her my bunny and drop it on the keyboard.  Then my skunk.   I got a couple of Christmas stuffies that I like to bring her.  Sometimes I bring my toys up and just hold one in my mouth, staring at her.  I've tried my purple football, but it's kinda heavy so I don't drop it.  Don't want to break anything, you know. 

She will sometimes throw these items across the room for some fetch and what not.  Sometimes she just sits them back on the couch.  Sometimes she hollers at me to quit it.  hehehe-don't care.

Lately she's been gettin' all Ceasar Milan and turning away from me.  Just ignoring me!  HELLO!  This is my favorite game!!!  That dang Dog Whisperer is ruining my fun.]]></content:encoded>

Weird.  
She let me see them and sniff them.  I got excited.  Then she put them back in the Target bag.  
Weird.  
I nosed through the bag and tried to retrieve them.  She put the bag up higher out of my reach.  
Weird.  
She told me they were Hannukah toys for her friends dogs, Tootsie and Gremlin.  I didn't even know dogs could choose a religion.  
Weird.  
Hope they like them.  Hope I get some sort of religious toy.  Hope I can find out what religion I am.

Momma took a cue from <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/710533/diary/One_elluva_dog/528738">Ella</a> and wrapped me up in a blankie.  I was a Doberitto!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish Turkey Day came once a week.

What an amazing time I had!!!!!!  My Granny and Poppa came.  I had my aunt, uncle and cousins here.  They all had lovins' for the Jarv!

Then the food!  Appetizers of tiny beef snack bites (looked like snausages to me), crackers, dip, nuts~~~~I think I went a little nuts.  

Later came dinner.  I was banished to the basement during the dinner proper.  Then after some whining I was released!!  Mom fixed me a bowl of kibble, gravy, turkey, and mashed potatoes.  It was bliss.  My Poppa also was sneakin' me lots of schnibbles while everyone was cleaning.  Mom even gave me some pumpkin pie cake...

Daddy played our favorite bite the shoe game.  I showed all my Skinneez to everyone.  Chased the laser pointer for awhile.  Good times.

Then I crashed out with my Aunt Cathy and Katie in front of the fire.  I was exhausted!

This may be the perfect holiday!]]></content:encoded>

1.  Another 3 foot long Loofah Dog

2.  My bed in the guest room to be returned to the guest room.  It was recently moved to my human sister's room and that is NOT my sleeping place.  I want my bed back.

3.  I would like for Michael Vick to receive a dog bite  so severe that it renders his throwing arm useless, thus ending his NFL career causing him to drift between various dead end jobs.

4.  World Peace

5.  Jumbones, Busy Bones, Chew-eez rolls, Denta-stix, Puperoni, Snausages.....the entire treat aisle at Petsmart.

I shall end my list here.  Don't want to be greedy.  We have a stack of old blankies and towels to take to the Doberman rescue here in town.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here's our take:

Yeah, the Bass Turd Vick "lost everything" in his bankruptcy.

Yeah, the Miserable Piece of Sh*t Vick served time at Leavenworth.

What the f*$#k ever!!!!  He will get out and make a new life for himself. 
He is going to make it all back within one year in the NFL!!!

The Miserable Piece of Sh*t doesn't care what he did.  He cares that he got caught.

We realize to many that dogs are property and don't really "count", but who is there to speak out for the helpless?  Inhumane is inhumane.  Horse trainers don't treat animals like that.  Why is it OK for Vick?

Came across this article on foxnews.com:



PORTLAND, Ore. —  Henry Marcum has nothing but kind words for the dog that shot his 23-year-old son this weekend.

Marcum says his son, Matthew, was standing in Tillamook Bay at the start of duck-hunting trip when his dog jumped into the boat, setting off a 12-gauge shotgun.

The blast blew a hole in the aluminum boat before hitting Marcum, who is recovering from injuries to his legs and buttocks at Portland's Legacy Emanuel Hospital.

Henry Marcum says he's not angry with the dog, and neither is his son.

The elder Marcum says the Labrador named Drake is a good dog and the shooting is "just one of those things."

Now it is wet and cold and gray......I'm a sensitive fellow.  I do not like the cold.  Or the wet.  Gray skies make me drowsy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We have this rule in my house.  I am not allowed in the kitchen during dinner.  Not during preparation, eating, or clean up.  

I am a rule abiding dog.  

So, last night when Daddy called me into the kitchen during the clean up phase, I was naturally confused.  I'm not allowed in there.  Why was I being summoned?  

I would get to the edge of the kitchen, then turn right around and go back to my post in the dining room.  I did this 3 times.

Then, one of the furless sisters brought me in.......

I was needed to help clean up!!!!  Spilled mashed potatoes on the floor!  Yay and yum.....

I guess some rules are meant to be broken.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My furless sister is home sick.  I've been trying to take care of her.  Truth is, there ain't much a Dober-boy can do.  I've barked at every squirrel and any other possible intruders.  I've let the mailman know that we have a sick one here and he'd better stay away.  Yet, she is still pitiful.  Coughing and such....I don't know what else to try so Mom's taking her to the vet-oops! I mean doctor.  

The good news is that I've had Mom here at home to attend to my cuddling needs.  And I got some of the chicken from the soup she made!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since we will not know any election results until like 4 am, let's play the tag game.  Everyone knows the rules, right?  Good.  Here goes:

7  Fun Facts about the Jarv Dog:

1. I give my Mom an intense, unnerving, vulture-like stare when I need to go out.

2. I only like to sleep on soft furniture.  No dog beds or floors for me.

3. I get a treat whenever Mom or Dad leaves for work.

4. In the morning, when I hear the shower come on, I jump in the bed with Mom for my Morning Cuddle.

5. When Dad watches football, I go into protection mode.  He tends to yell at the TV and I run around growling.  I am looking for whoever it is, he is yelling "get him!!!" about.

6.  Squirrels are of the Devil, in my opinion.

7. I have single-pawedly destroyed a sofa, a chair, and a mattress.

I shall tag:
Ella (because I love her)
Blu (because he needs to join in more : )
Maya (because of those ears)
Ernie (new guy-super cute)
Gibbon (my Secret Santa pal)
Bodhi (because he makes me laugh)
Echo (my Ohio pal)

This may clear out my Zealie balance......
Have fun kids!]]></content:encoded>

I went

I strutted

I sniffed butts

I got many various treats

I got LOTS of attention and pettins'

I was the only Dober in attendance, so naturally my good looks were appreciated.  Plus, it was all dog people, so no one was afraid of me!

Mom got lots of free stuff.  Mostly brochures and what not.  But there were some cool magnets and pens and a t-shirt.

Pictures are forthcoming.  I'm sure everypup will want to see my costume....
I was a clown!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, my Mom....BAD.

She left me outside!!!!  For longer than I wanted to be there.  And it's cold out there!!!  I had to actually whine to come in!

She claims that she didn't forget me.  She claims she was helping the human sister with homework.  Whatever.  I still had to whine.

She apologized with snugglin' and ear rubbin' and wrapped me in a blanket.  

I guess I can forgive and forget.  There had better be some treats involved.....]]></content:encoded>

Good news is that the sore on my bum is starting to scab over so I can lose the lampshade!!

More luck in that every time I get my antibiotics I get peanut butter!!  I also get canned dog food so I don't get sick with the pills.  

At least there are some good things that come with being injured!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh the humanity!!!  Mom took me to the emergency vet.  

All day I was lethargic and shaking.  I ate and drank alright.  But, when I went outside, I just stood there.  Staring.  Afraid to move.  Also the tiny sore on my butt doubled in size due to my incessant licking.

So, off to the emergency room I went.  Those peeps are AWESOME!!  They got me right in to be looked at.  They were all lovin' on me and oohhin and aahhin over me.  Took my temperature.  Weighed me.  They looked at my sore and got it all cleaned up.  Decided I need some antibiotics.  Expressed my anal glands (eeeuuuuwww).    Then......THEY SHAVED MY BUTT!!!!!!!!!!!!  It gets worse:

They gave me a lampshade to wear on my head.  Not the kind that drunk people wear.  The kind that people laugh at you for.  Even more humiliating-she took pictures.  PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I should get drunk....]]></content:encoded>

Clearly this is where I sustained my injury.  There are logs with bark sticking out and some rough edges.

Meanwhile, I really perked up when Dad got home last night.  He even shared some pot roast with me!!  My big cut is looking much better.  I think I just needed some tender lovin' care.

Thanx for all the messages and pawsitive thoughts!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I wouldn't leave Mom's side (not unusual) and kept licking my leg.  CONSTANT LICKING!  So Mom looks at that bat wing type area on my inner thigh.  I have a GIANT cut.  There was a little blood, not bad.  I also have a couple of other spots on my front paw, back paw, and a small one on my butt.  She panics!  I try to tell her I'm fine, just a cut, y'know.

Mom thinks I got under the pine tree to chase a bunny or squirrel and the branches scraped me up. Or got into the wood pile while on chipmunk patrol and got scraped.  There's nothing on my face so it doesn't look like I had a fight with another animal.  

She called the vet (a post to the D.A.M.N. group is to follow)  They said to clean the wound with peroxide and rub Neosporin on it.  She cleaned me up and went on to work-worried and perplexed by the cause of my injury.

When she came home I didn't even come to the door.  I was shaky and still licking.  She cleaned me with peroxide again and put more Neosporin on it. She gave me a Bully Spring-I only ate half.  Now she's got me on my favorite chair under a blankie.  She keeps lovin' on me which seems to get me relaxed and not so shaky.  I sure hope I feel better tomorrow.

Send me some pawsitive dog thoughts please Pupper Pals!

**Mom's note-don't think this is a vet-worthy injury.  The bleeding stopped immediately.  Just want to keep him quiet so the Neosporin will do it's job.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think fall may have arrived last night.  It was a wee bit chilly.  I am a very sensitive breed, you know.  A delicate flower of a dog.  It takes some work to keep me warm and comfy.  
Well, I was all cozy and snuggly in the comforter that I pulled off Mom and Dad's bed while they were sleeping.  Had to put my paw over my snout to keep warm (they love it when I do such cute things)  

Maybe tonight I'll try to get IN the bed with them to insure my continued warmth and comfort....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW.....

I think Mom's about gone.  Lost it.  Ba-bye.

First she buys me a Halloween costume.  Not the kind I want, mind you.  She won't let me tell what it is because she wants to post pics first.  She didn't even consult me.  I NEVER would have picked out a costume such as this.  I will try due to my undying love of Mom, but........It just ain't fittin'!

Then she comes home from work.  Plops on MY sofa with a slice of..... (wait for it).....CHEESE!!!!!!  Right there at snout level.  Did I get a slice?  Of course not!  If I did, I wouldn't have had to post this!

However, I heard mention of a Halloween Mutt March next month.  Think of the butts I could sniff!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am a large dog.  This is fairly obvious, right?  Has my Mom not SEEN me?  

Why would she get my weekly DentaSticks in the small size?!?!  I'm a biggin!  I need BIG treats here.  She claims the store was out of large size DentaSticks.  She claims that there are more sticks in the small bag than the large bag.  Whatever.

There's more......Halloween costumes DO NOT come in my size.  I need a XX Large.  They only make costumes for little dogs.  Why do they get all the fun?!  I would be a dang good lookin' Superman or Batman.

I call discrimination.  Or is it breed profiling?  Either way, I'm contacting the ACLU.  They love to help lost causes and other goofy crap.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ....is what I got into last night.  Picture it: Dad and I are playing.  I am zooming around, jumping on my chair, doing laps around the coffee table.  You know, being a dog.  

I was getting a bit rambunctious and Dad told me to calm down.  

Game Over.  

WTF?!  Game still on!
 
I continued my romp.   Well, I meant to jump on the sofa and had a slight misjudgment.  I kinda landed on the coffee table.

Books and magazines went a-flyin'.  The bad part was that Mom's pop (that's what we call a soft drink in these parts) also went a-flyin'.

There was pop on the carpet, tv, vcr, cable box....Basically the whole entertainment center which is as tall as Mom.

I had to be put in "time out".   I apologized later.  Even brought Mom my squirrel Skinneezz to hold.  Guess Cranberry Sierra Mist does not go well on the carpet.....

Maybe next time I'll listen to Dad.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last Christmas I got this way cool Flashy Ball.  It has a light inside that flashes whenever the ball moves.  It was my favorite gift.  I made sure to bring it to guests so they could see how way cool it was.  I slept with it.  I tossed it. I played fetch with it. I would sit and just hold it in my mouth.  It was my Flashy Ball and I loved it.

Over the course of months, being a dog and all, I lost my Flashy Ball......At first I was devastated.  I learned to live with the sorrow.  I found brief solace in the many loofah toys Mom brought me.  However, my Flashy Ball was never far from my thoughts.

The other day, Mom was searching for shoes and under her bed.  There it was!  My beloved flashy ball!!!!!!  I'm so happy it is back in my life!  Now I will keep it close to me and secure.  We will never be parted again.....Just now to remind Mom of how I love it, I dropped it squarely on the laptop as she was typing!!!

Jarvis and Flashy Ball.......together forever.......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well the impossible has occurred.  Hurricane force winds hit Cincinnati (OHIO!!!) on Sunday.  Winds up to 84 mph blew through and knocked out power to 90% of Cincinnati.  We didn't have power from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday night!!

Holy Dog Doo.

Sunday night the neighbors came over and we had a big cook-out.  Hot dogs for everyone!!  Mom and the human sister camped out in the family room (8 year olds do not want to sleep in their rooms when power is out apparently)  I joined them and slept with Mom on the couch.  However, she was kinda in my space.  So I booted her.  Off she went to bed with Dad and the couch was mine!!

I got to go to Granny's for stick and limb cleanup and general romping.  Great fun.  My Grand-daddy shared some peanut butter with me.  I love that guy......

In the middle of all this chaos, I was taken to the vet of all places.  Seems they got power back pretty quickly.  Two shots, blood removal, and butt pokins.   WTF?!  Good news is I am a healthy and happy Dober-Boy!  However I only weigh 68.2 lbs.  More of that peanut butter please, Grand-daddy!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom finally figured out my outdoor routine.

 She comes home and lets me out.  This is the time for a quick squirt only.  The rest of the time is for my cursory perimeter check.   I cannot see every inch of my yard from indoors and must make sure everything is secure.  I will then come back in for lovin' and greetin' and  food and what not.  

I must return outdoors soon after to do my outdoor-dog type business (have a poo).

I just don't feel as if I can relax and have a good poo if I have not secured the area!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and Dad are finally home.  They took their Harley on a six day, 500 mile trip to Milwaukee.  Mom came home with a very sore butt!  She also came home with NOTHING for me.

I stayed with my Mom's Baby Daddy (ex-husband) and my youngest human sister.  I also got to play with TWO weiner dogs (Walter and Leon)  It was German Dogapolooza.  I had the best time ever!!  When I got home I only wanted to sleep.....Hangin with other dogs and family is way better than goin to a kennel.

However, Mom does deserve that sore butt.  She coulda come up off the cash for a studded Harley collar.  I am a big, bad Dober after all!]]></content:encoded>

Then, she brought me leftover steak from Granny's.

And I took a car ride to the house where I might stay when Mom and Dad take the motorcycle clear to Milwaulkee in two weeks. It's my human sister's Dad's house (Mom's ex)  There is a fenced yard and a pool and two weiner dogs to play with!  I hope he decides it will be okay.  This was a trial run-meet & greet kinda thing.  I think it went well!!!!

I love my Mom.....  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When my Mom was married to her first husband, she had some other dogs.  I'm not jealous.  She wasn't ready for me yet!  First there was Floyd the Schneagle (schnauzer/beagle mix).  He had the cancer and died on a Tuesday.  He was 16.  His passing was sad, but he had an extrordinary life.

Then came Opie.  A red, wire-haired, miniature dachsund.  Mom got him as a Christmas present (curled up in a decorated basket!!)  He was spunky and snuggly and sweet.  He liked other dogs.  He peed in the house a lot.  He would get inside the duvet with the comforter.  He would sleep under the blankets in the bed.  He also thought the water coming out of the hose was something solid he should attack (shoulda gone on Stupid Pet Tricks with that one).  Later came Opie's nephew, Walter.  That's another story.

Mom had to do the unthinkable and move out from her boys.  They were so special to her for so long.  But, her marriage was over and Mom had to do what was best for her human child (go figure!)  The Boys stayed with their Dad in their house and yard.  Mom had visitation and all was well.  Baby Daddy even went on to get another Dachsie-a black and tan named Leon.

Yesterday was Opie's time to go to the Bridge.  He was having breathing trouble.  He wouldn't eat and if he did it wouldn't stay down.  He was on the sofa with his Daddy and took his last breath.  He was 13. 

Mom is understandably sad.  However, Opie lived a full and happy life.  She has so many happy memories.  She says she is happy that Opie is at the Bridge with Floyd and all my Dogster Pals.  Probably laughin' and dancin'!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I was dropped off at our spanking new neighborhood Petsmart for a day of beauty.  As Mom and I were walking to the grooming salon, we hear a voice say "It's Jarvis!!"  Wondering who would know us and be out at such an early Sunday morning hour we were surprised to find a Petsmart employee.  She gave me my last spa day at the old store and remembered me fondly.  I mean, does one really ever forget a face like mine?

So, I'm clean and good smelling with neatly trimmed nails.  Mom comes to pick me up.  I'm being admired by all in the store.  The human sister wants to go over and see if there are any cats up for adoption.  There were LOTS of 'em.  Some behind glass-they just stared at me in awe.  Some were out in open air cages.  I could actually sniff out the kittehs!!!!  They hissed and arched up their backs actin' like they're badasses or sumthin.  Whatever,  I kept thinkin' that if Ella were with me, we could do some head chompin'!!!

Mom bought me some Bully Twists.  YUM.  I came home and helped Dad clean the Harley.  By this time, I needed some rest.....

It's hard being such a beautiful, yet responsible boy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, the barking worked again.  I made all those fireworks stop.  It took a lot longer this time, but I prevailed!  Yay me!

I also ate and ate and ate.  Chicken, potato salad, hot dogs, cheeseburger....Oh yum.  I love a holiday!!

But now I'm worn out.  Mom was off and home Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  Daddy was home with me Saturday and Sunday.  When all these folks are home, I must be awake and protect them.  Plus the kids were around!!  Sheesh, that's a lot of protecting.  Squirrels, cats, fireworks, chipmunks.....My work is never done.  I must rest!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom just read me the Dog Whisperer's Newsletter.  Generally I like that Cesar guy.  A real dog person, ya know?  Anyway, he says to make sure your dog is "exhausted" by the time the fireworks start.  Doesn't he know that all my barking to stop the fireworks is the very thing that exhausts me?!?!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's 4th of July week as all American pups know.  I never knew that the humans practiced fireworks before the big day!!!  Every night this week I've been out on patrol hearing firecrackers and what not. 

It's good for me, though.  I, too have been practicing.  Barkin' my fool head off at every chance!!!

Thank Dog that I have the power to stop all that racket!  Enough barking and they eventually stop....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...to all my dear friends for all the birthday wishes and prezzies!!!

It was an okay day.  Truth be told, Mom and Dad came home early from work.  I presumed it was to spend the day with ME.  However, they cleaned up the Harley, changed clothes, and took off!  (They did leave me with a cookie in the shape of a mailman.  A consolation gift)  Anyway, they had to go to a funeral/wake/ride for one of their fellow biker friends.  Humbled me a bit.  I gave Mom my best snuggling skills when she got home.  I can spend part of my birthday comforting the Mom.  

Rumor has it, we will go to Petsmart so I can pick out whatever present I want!!

Thanks again to all my Dogster pals!!]]></content:encoded>

 He put a  schmear of peanut butter on the inside of my mouth.  Right on my upper gums and a little more on the roof of my mouth.  Then laughed as I licked and licked and licked and licked......Laugh on Daddy!!!  

I'll be all the entertainment you need if it involves peanut butter!  I was so funny he did it two more times.  Yummy lickins' for me and laughter for him.  It's a win win!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This weekend is the big neighborhood festival at the park across the street.  At closing time they put on a huge fireworks display.  Many oohhs and aahhs to be heard....
Except from me!  I barked and barked and barked.  Then ran the yard and barked some more.  Mom is worried I may become hoarse (not horse, they're bigger than me)  I'm pretty much convinced that all my barking made the evil fireworks stop.  After about 15 minutes, they shot off a bunch all at once.  I think they were telling me to shut up.  I didn't.  I kept right on barking my fool head off.  They finally got the message and quit.....
I bet they'll do it again tomorrow.  Don't care.  I'll keep right on barking!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dad had a buddy over last night to help him work on his car.  I, being the masculine sort, stayed out there with them the whole time.  I patrolled the perimeter, barked at passers-by (would-be interlopers if not for me), peed on bushes, etc.  I was sure to alert the men of any and all squirrel and cicada activity!  I was really part of the whole male bonding thing.  You know, a manly dog.  Then, the men had a late dinner of beef and chicken kabobs!!!  

All I got was scraps :( 

Next time, I'm gettin' my paws in that engine and helpin' out.  Maybe I'll get my OWN kabob!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear God: 

Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?

Why are there cars named after jaguars, cougars, mustangs, colts,
the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often  do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'? 

If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?

We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles,  horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy
fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?

More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember
to be a good dog:

1. I will  not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.

2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just  because I like
the way they smell.

3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.

4. The sofa is not a 'face towel'.

5. The  garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

7.  Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello'.

8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee
table .

 9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.

10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.

11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.

 12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

> > P.S. Dear  God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My very good pal, Ella, mentioned eating food from a can.  Holy Dog Doo!!  This is the best stuff I've ever had.  Mom had a coupon (she's cheap!) and got 4 FREE cans.  She said she'd only start me on half a can mixed with my dry food so I don't poop my brains out.  I say, gimme the WHOLE can.  Forget the nasty dry crap!  I can't wait 'til dinner!!]]></content:encoded>

I'm sad she won't be here for my every beck and call (or is that bark and call?!)  However, I could use some rest!  I've been awake, alert, and on duty the whole time she's here.  For dog's sake, I'm tired.  So go back to work, dear Mother....let me be lazy.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was doing so well!  I got to sleep at the foot of Mom and Dad's bed the other night and I was an angel.  Usually they don't like me in there because I get a wee bit noisy.  I guess it's all the licking, head shaking, and my happy noise (somewhere between a sigh and a growl and a harrumph kinda sound).  And let's not forget the high pitched yawning squeak!  Anyways, the other night I was exhausted and passed right out and didn't make a sound!  So Dad let me in last night.  However, I got the boot about 3 am......I just can't help my bodily functions!!]]></content:encoded>

I really enjoy getting  them nice and slobbery, then presenting one on Mom or Dad's lap.  You know, just to let them know I am grateful for the toys!  I think it's quite a clever thank you, yet they seem to hate it.  Weird.]]></content:encoded>

It looked like a sausage.  Guess what?  I kept shreddin' it!  Now my dear Mother has brought me a stuffed bunny and chipmunk.  Hours and hours of fun!!!  Actually, I think I will not shred these two so quickly.  I'd like to savor and enjoy them longer.  Although that chipmunks fluffy tail was removed at once.  Dunno why, just wanted to.....

Next week, during my pedicure, the vet will check out the paw pad in question.  I tried to tell her it was healed and none of this is necessary......CRAZY LADY!!!  Really, I'm just trying to get out of the nail trimming.  Oh the horror!!!]]></content:encoded>

I got to join in the egg hunt (they wouldn't let me keep any though) I got to run and jump and show off for the neighbors.  Then the eating began....ham, mashed potatoes, whipped cream, turkey, pie crust, deviled eggs, cake.  It was bliss!!  My Poppa gave me some asparagus.  I really wanted to eat it.  I mean if he was having it, it must be good.  No!  I just left a mushy slobbery mess on the floor.  Did I forget to mention the jelly beans?


Oh, how I love a holiday with my family!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here are the rules: 
Each player needs to tell seven random facts about themselves. Tagged dogs must post the rules in their diary and their 7 facts. Then choose 7 pups to tag and list their names. Let them know by pmail or rosette that they have been tagged and to read your diary for the instructions on how to play.

Seven pawsome facts:
1. I am 2" too tall and about 20 lbs. underweight for the Doberman breed standard (the vet says my weight is just fine!)
2. I love to cuddle
3. My favorite place is in the sun in front of the sliding glass door
4. Mom and Dad think I actually caught a possum (I got sick one night and a couple of days later they found a severed possum head in the yard and blamed me! hehe! I'll never tell)
5. My favorite treat is when Mom gives me the empty peanut butter jar to lick clean
6. I have my very own blankie with my name on it
7. My favorite toy is a purple football.  Sometimes I even take it to bed with me.

My pals I have tagged:
Emmy, Beamer, Lord Anakin, Taz, Zeus Dexter, Nigel, and Cloe Zena
Have fun!]]></content:encoded>
