		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nine years ago today, mommy, grandma, Bubba, and me became a family. 

I was about five months old. I was in a large cage when I saw mommy for the first time. The nice people at Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego, Ca. called me Sugar ‘cuz they said that I was very sweet. 

Mommy called me over to her. When I came to her, and stuck my nose through the bars, she touched my nose. I kissed and nibbled her fingers. Then she was gone. I was sad. Why does everyone leave me all alone?

Soon the woman who feeds and plays with me opened my cage, put my leash on, and there was mommy. We walked for a while, and then I was back in my cage all alone again. Again, I was sad. What's wrong with me?

Next, I was taken to a room where I saw grandma and Bubba for the first time. Mommy was there too. I went over to play with Bubba. He was so big. He moved back when I jumped at him, wanting to play. I think that he was afraid of me ‘cuz I was so young and he was much older. Finally, he sniffed me with his cold nose and barked. After that, they took me away. I was sad again. Was I a bad girl?

The woman took me into another room (so many rooms that I didn’t know about). She weighed me. I weighed 30 pounds. She looked at my tummy boo-boo. She called it a “spay”. She also brushed my hair, sprayed me with something smelly, and told me I was going home. What is a home? 

Soon, I saw mommy, grandma, and Bubba. They were smiling at me. Mommy put a red collar and leash on me. She called me Hope. I was happy and wagged my tail.

We walked outside. Grandma held my leash tight and mommy held Bubba’s leash. I had never been outside the shelter before. I was so excited. I jumped on grandma and knocked her over in the grass. 

Yes, I've always been a naughty girl. I felt so bad so I kissed her face. Mommy helped grandma up, and we went into mommy’s car. Bubba sat in the back, and grandma held me in her arms, while mommy drove us home. I was very happy.

Even though my grandma and big brother Bubba are in heaven, leaving just mommy and me, I’m still so happy that mommy, grandma, and Bubba chose me to join their family. 

Please, adopt your next dog and/or cat from a shelter, the humane society, animal control, and/or the pound. They need homes too!

Love,

Hope, NPC
Queen of Naughty

PS: All of mommy's babies (except sister Sarah) were adopted from a shelter. Mommy knows how much we need forever homes. Mommy found sister Sarah (approx. 3 months old) in 1981; she was tied, gagged, and thrown in a dumpster. Naughty naughty people.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have another urinary tract infection. This is my third in 8 years. Mommy took me to the doctor and now I am on antibiotics. It will cost mommy about 500 dollars when all is said and done. The doctor did not find any crystals or stones which is a good thing. I am starting to feel like my naughty self again. I feel great.

Mommy still does not have a job in would appreciate any positive thoughts and prayer sent her way.

Lastly my cousin Bauer had surgery for cancer (stage 1) last month.The doctor got it all and he is doing very very well.

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mommy. My wish is for all pups and kitties to have wonderful mommies and/or daddies like mine.

I also had my yearly wellness exam and got my vaccines. I weighed 62ish pounds and I am very healthy. 

Lastly, I got to ride (for the first time) in mommy's new car - the HopeMobile.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been eating Orijen 6 Fish kibble twice a day for over a year now and my doodies have been GREAT! Not too loose, not too hard, not too little, and not too big - just right. My fur is also soft, thick, and shiny. My skin, gums, and teeth are healthy too. My mind is active and I'm always thinking of naughty things to do. I'm so happy, just look at my new picture. I love my mommy for taking such good care of me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been 35 days since mommy switched me from Science Diet CD (kibble) to Orijen 6 Fish because of an intolerance (maybe from the grains, or the chicken, or the pork). 

Anyway, mommy was concerned about me getting another UTI on the new food. So, mommy took a sample of my morning peepee to my doctor today. He looked at it under a microscope and tested it. My urine's  pH was 6.0 and all tests were normal.  Oh, my doodies are great too. Now, mommy can relax.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been 3 weeks since changing my food, and I'm doing great on Orijen 6 fish kibbles. My doodies are healthy and firm (without adding organic pumkin). Mommy will bring a peepee sample to my doctor in a couple of weeks to make sure that my pH is good. He wants the pH to be ~6.5. 

Mommy finally got a job. She starts tomorrow. Now I have the whole house to myself. I think I will have daily parties and invite my gal pals and boyfriends over (BOL).

Oh, I also won Dog of the Month for May 2010 from Dogster's Herding Breeds Association Group and  a Barney Award Honorable Mention for April 2010 from Dogster's Naughty Pup Club. Life is GREAT!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As most of you pups (who read my diary) know, I've had some GI problems (colitis) lately. Well, 3 days after finishing  another 15 days of Flagyl, I had the runs with mucus and blood drops again. 

Mommy called my doctor and brought him a sample of my doodie. All tests were normal, and my doctor told mommy to change my diet to a grain free, chicken free, and pork free diet (the 3 main ingredients in Rx Science Diet CD) because I might have developed an allergy/intolerance to my food. He was less concerned about me getting another UTI.

Mommy bought me a bag of Orijen 6 Fish kibble. It is so yummy. She mixes the kibbles with organic pumkin (also quite yummy) to help firm up my stool. No more diarrhea, mucus, or blood - and my poop is getting firmer. Orijen also has cranberries and herbs in it to prevent UTIs. 

I love my mommy for taking such great care of me. 

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Six years ago today (also a Saturday), mommy, grandma, Bubba, and me became a family. 

I was about five months old. I was in a large cage when I saw mommy for the first time. The nice people at Helen Woodward Animal Center called me Sugar ‘cuz they said that I was very sweet. 

Mommy called me over to her. When I came to her, and stuck my nose through the bars, she touched my nose. I kissed and nibbled her fingers. Then she was gone. I was sad. Why does everyone leave me all alone?

Soon the woman who feeds and plays with me opened my cage, put my leash on, and there was mommy. We walked for a while, and then I was back in my cage all alone again. Again, I was sad. What's wrong with me?

Next, I was taken to a room where I saw grandma and Bubba for the first time. Mommy was there too. I went over to play with Bubba. He was so big. He moved back when I jumped at him, wanting to play. I think that he was afraid of me ‘cuz I was so young and he was much older. Finally, he sniffed me with his cold nose and barked. After that, they took me away. I was sad again. Was I a bad girl?

The woman took me into another room (so many rooms that I didn’t know about). She weighed me. I weighed 30 pounds. She looked at my tummy boo-boo. She called it a “spay”. She also brushed my hair, sprayed me with something smelly, and told me I was going home. What is a home? 

Soon, I saw mommy, grandma, and Bubba. They were smiling at me. Mommy put a red collar and leash on me. She called me Hope. I was happy and wagged my tail.

We walked outside. Grandma held my leash tight and mommy held Bubba’s leash. I had never been outside the shelter before. I was so excited. I jumped on grandma and knocked her over in the grass. Yes, I've always been a naughty girl. I felt so bad so I kissed grandma's face. Mommy helped grandma up, and we went into mommy’s car. Bubba sat in the back, and grandma held me in her arms, while mommy drove us home. I was very happy.

Even though my grandma and big brother Bubba are in heaven, leaving just mommy and me, I’m still so happy that mommy, grandma, and Bubba chose me to join their family. 

Please, adopt your next dog and/or cat from a shelter, the humane society, animal control, and/or the pound. They need homes too!

Love,

Hope, NPC
Queen of Naughty

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I started the week off with loose doodie and blood drops due to straining. Mommy thinks that I ate something that I shouldn't have (I'm pleading the fifth) and got Colitis (again). 

Mommy called my doctor and was able to get a 15 day supply of Flagyl for me. Yuck - a BIG white pill that I must take twice a day. Mommy is happy that I have a BIG mouth. 

Next, I hurt my left rear leg and would not put any weight on it for the whole day. Mommy thinks that (the night before) I jumped off the bed and landed wrong (again, I'm pleading the fifth). 

Anyway. I was a hoppy Hope for a day. Mommy was very worried and was going to take me to the doctor the next day if I didn't get any better. Mommy would not let me run around. I also had to sleep in my crate that night. 

The next moring, I WAS ALL BETTER! Both mommy and me were happy and relieved. 

What a week. I love you mommy.

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When mommy took me for our walk yesterday morning, a pigeon pooped on my back.  Mommy had to wipe the yucky green slimy goo off with a wet nap. 

This is the second time a pigeon pooped on me. The first time was on August 20, 2006, and the poop landed on on my head. 

Naughty naughty pigeons!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mommy had to rush me to my Vet. I had the runs and threw up (this was before I had breakfast). It's a well known fact that I like to eat everything (good and bad) and once I had colitis - but this time, I'm not admitting to anything.

Well, when we got to the Vet's office, I threw up lots in their front yard. After waiting (and doing my hyper dance in the waiting room), I finally got to see my Vet (with my favorite tech Nina assisting). They weighed me (~61 lbs), put something in my bottom - YUCK (I had a slight fever - maybe 'cuz I ran around the office for almost an hour), gave me a needle that stung a bit, and sent mommy and me home with 2 different medications.  My emergency visit cost mommy lots of money.

Mommy did not feed me much and I slept on and off most of  yesterday. Oh, for a few days mommy has to give me medicine to make sure that I get better and stay better. This morning, I felt much better and was able to eat my breakfast (it's still in my tummy). 

I am so lucky to have a mommy who loves me (the naughtiest girl in the world) so very very very very very very very very very much. Thank you mommy. Now it's time for another nap.

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy decided to give me a bath today. She said I smelled a bit ripe (whatever that means?).  

We drove to South Bark Dog Wash. Once inside, I tried to escape, and it took 20 minutes and 3 people to put me in the tub.  Mommy secured me so that I could not jump out.  

Here I was, naked and wet in a public tub for everyone (pup, kitty, and people) to see.  

Are people ever naked and wet in public tubs for everyone (pup, kitty and people) to see - I think not, so why should I, the Queen of Naughty, be naked and wet in a public tub ?  

A nice lady gave me a blueberry facial plus a face, head, and neck massage (which felt very good and relaxed me a bit). Then, mommy sprayed me (it seemed forever) with water until I was soaking wet.  

One "good" turn deserves another so I shook and shook getting mommy soaking wet.  

Mommy used some smelly soap (oatmeal she said) and shampooed me (it also seemed forever). Then she rinsed me off. Again, I shook and shook getting mommy soaking wet.  

Mommy put some conditioner on me (to make my fur soft and shiny) and rinsed me off again. Yes, I shook and shook getting mommy soaking wet (even her glasses).  

Finally (Hallelujah!)  it was over, and when mommy freed me from the tub, I jumped out and headed to the patio to dry off. 

When I was dry, mommy tried to get me to go in again (to pay, she said - yeah right). I would not go back in, so mommy had to take me out of the patio and go around the corner to the store's enterance to pay for my bath.  

When we got home, I rolled around on the dirty carpet.

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy took my peepee to the vet for testing. After 1 week of eating nothing but canned Science Diet SD, my pH is now 5.0 and my UTI is completely gone. Bye bye UTI!

I can start eating my dry Science Diet CD kibbles tonight, and I can have as many Science Diet CD "cookies" as I want.

Mommy is also going to start me on Estrogen tonight to help strengthen my bladder muscles so that I don't drip peepee when I'm asleep. It will also stop the germs from getting into my bladder which could cause another UTI.

I have such a great mommy. She loves me so much.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just finished 2 weeks of very expen$ive antibiotics (a BIG purple pill called Baytril twice a day) for a UTI (my second). 

Mommy saw blood in my peepee (2 weeks ago) and rushed me to the vet (such a good mommy). 

Ever since my first UTI (when I was only 6 months old), I've only eaten Science Diet CD (dry) mixed  with water. My treats (cookies) are  really Science Diet CD kibbles.

Anyway, when mommy took a sample of my peepee to the vet this morning, we found out that the pH is still too high at 7.0 (but the infection is gone - no more Baytril), so now I have to be on canned Science Diet SD for a week to get the pH down to 6.2 - 6.4. 

The vet told mommy not to give me anything else - just the canned Science Diet SD. Mommy can't even give me my treats when we walk. I can only get NOTHING.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Five years ago today, mommy, grandma, Bubba, and me became a family. I was about five months old. I was in a large cage when I saw mommy for the first time. The nice people at Helen Woodward Animal Center called me Sugar ‘cuz they said that I was very sweet. 

Mommy called me over to her. When I came to her, and stuck my nose through the bars, she touched my nose. I kissed and nibbled her fingers. Then she was gone. I was sad. Why does everyone leave me all alone?

Soon the woman who feeds and plays with me opened my cage, put my leash on, and there was mommy. We walked for a while, and then I was back in my cage all alone again. Again, I was sad. What's wrong with me?

Next, I was taken to a room where I saw grandma and Bubba for the first time. Mommy was there too. I went over to play with Bubba. He was so big. He moved back when I jumped at him, wanting to play. I think that he was afraid of me ‘cuz I was so young and he was much older. Finally, he sniffed me with his cold nose and barked. After that, they took me away. I was sad again. 
Was I a bad girl?

The woman took me into another room (so many rooms that I didn’t know about). She weighed me. I weighed 30 pounds. She looked at my tummy boo-boo. She called it a “spay”. She also  brushed my hair, sprayed me with something smelly, and told me I was going home. What is home? Soon, I saw mommy, grandma, and Bubba. They were smiling at me. Mommy put a red collar and leash on me. She called me Hope. I was happy and wagged my tail.

We walked outside. Grandma held my leash tight and mommy held Bubba’s leash. I had never been outside the shelter before. I was so excited. I jumped on grandma and knocked her over in 
the grass. Yes, I've always been a naughty girl. I felt so bad so I kissed her face. Mommy helped grandma up, and we went into mommy’s car. Bubba sat in the back, and grandma held me in her arms, while mommy drove us home. I was very happy.

Even though my grandma and big brother Bubba are in heaven, leaving just mommy and me, I’m still so happy that mommy, grandma, and Bubba chose me to join their family. 

Please, adopt your next dog and/or cat from a shelter. They need homes too!

Love,

Hope

PS: All of mommy's babies (including my big brother Bubba) were adopted from a shelter. Mommy knows how much we need forever homes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sunday afternoon mommy took me to PetSmart to have a picture taken of me with Santa.  I love excitement , so I ran in the store and dragged mommy up and down all of the aisles. The lights! 
The smells! The music! The pups! The kitties! 

After I saw, smelled, and heard everything, I dragged mommy out of the store and into our car.  

Did mommy REALLY expect ME (the Queen of Naughty) to sit still and have my picture taken with a man in a red suit ? I did say "Hello", gave him a kiss, and I let him pet me. Wasn't that enough? Anyway, mommy was very very very disappointed and sad that she did not get a picture of me and Santa.]]></content:encoded>

I've been really really naughty lately - nibbling my mommy everywhere, goosing her, pulling her when we walk, and tackling her when she's on the floor picking up after me (BOL). Why? Because, my Grandma (mommy's mommy) went to heaven  last month and mommy's so sad, so I have to get her attention focused elsewhere (i.e. ON ME!). Yes, it's always all about ME!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Grandma  had her CT scans done on the 14th of July, and her Oncologist called (last week) to let her know one of her (watched) lymph nodes had grown.  He told her that he wanted to try Erbitux.  He said it was milder than the other (colon cancer) chemo drugs.  She has an appointment to see him today. 

Me and mommy are very very sad. I love my grandma so very very much.

G-d bless everyone.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My naughty boyfriend Danny (ID # 231146) has Love Tagged me. It's a new Dogster tag game -- "You are Loved"!

You pick three Dogsters that you think are fantastic and tell a little about why! Don't forget to let them know how much they are loved with a p-mail, star or a rosette.

I have so many pals (naughty and good, but mostly naughty), its very hard to choose 'cuz I love them all! Here are my three choices:

1.  Coffee (ID # 452267), I love all of her naughties. She has one talented nose.  She is also very cute. 

2.  Fin (ID # 471893), she lives in Germany, and keeps her mommy and daddy on their toes. Also she is a Shepherd (like me).  Gotta love our ears. 

3.  Gunner (ID # 409176 ), he's the cutest boy beagle that I've seen. He's also a naughty boy - a trait that I love. Oh, and soon he will be 1 year old. 

Love,

Hope]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have so many - where shall I begin...?

My first naughty was the day that mommy, grandma (then 79.5 years old), and my brother Bubba adopted me. I was finally going to my forever home (home - how I love that word). Mommy was walking Bubba and Grandma was walking me to our car. I was so happy that I jumped on grandma knocking her down. I felt so bad. I then stood on grandma's chest and belly (all 25 pounds of me) and kissed her face.

Other standout naughties include kissing electrical sockets, chewing the cord of an antique floor lamp, chewing the carpet, pulling covers off the sofa and bed then chewing on them. Oh yes, I mustn't forget the time that I ran full speed ahead and body tackled mommy's face when she was picking something up off of the carpet. She bled a lot, needed a tetanus shot, and had a black lip. I also slammed the fridge door closed on mommy's head when she was looking for something to eat.

Then there was the time that I jumped straight up in the air when mommy put the gentle leader on me. Mommy fell and hurt her heel really bad. I've also knocked mommy down many (many) times jumping on her.

In addition, I've pulled mommy and made her trip in my freshly made doodie.

Ah, it's good to be the Queen of Naughty!

Love,

Hope]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My handsome furfriend Barney (Fin's big brother playing with my big brother Bubba in heaven)  tagged me ...

Oh, I was just tagged again by my naughty boyfriend Gunner - BOL 

And today (May 24, 2007) Toby, another cute lil naughty boyfriend of mine, tagged me - I'm so flattered.

Here are the rules:

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. 

Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. 

Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. 

Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

So here are 7 fun facts about ME (yes, it's always about ME):

1.  I lived in at least three states (Washington DC, Arizona, and California) before mommy adopted me (at age 5 1/2 months).

2.  I am a hero. I saved Gloria's life - Thanksgiving afternoon 2006  (she fell between 2 garbage cans and split open her head) by pulling mommy to her. 

3.  I will stick my whole face in a water bowl just to get out an ice cube.

4.  However, I don't like to be outside when it's raining and I don't like to get a bath.

5.  I like to sleep on my back with my legs straight up and my tongue hanging out of the side of my mouth  (not very lady-like, I know).

6.  When I get excited, my hackles come up. Mommy calls me her lil malisaurus.

7.  When mommy first adopted me (I was a lil pup), I liked to lick electrical sockets. I've since (thank Dog) grown out of that habit.

Now I tag...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, mommy's latest thing is singing songs (that she made up) in public (to me) about how naughty I am. 

Her favorites:

Cookies at the Corner

Cookies at the Corner for a good little girl
But if you choose to be naughty, you won't get any at all.

AND 

Hope is Naughty

Hope is naughty each and every day,
Hope is naughty in each and every way.
Is she naughty every day?
Yes, she's naughty every day.
Every day?
Yes, every day.

Ohhhh, Hope is naughty each and every day,
Hope is naughty in each and every way.
Is she naughty in every way?
Yes, she's naughty in every way.
Every way?
Yes, every way.

Ohhhh, Hope is naughty each and every day ...


Also. when I'm in the tub (oh how I hate baths), after my relaxing blueberry facial, mommy sings over and over (as she washes me):

"Rubba dubba dub Hope in the tub. Nice warm water put the baby in."

She also sings me silly lullabies and other made-up songs to relax me. And she sings them forever - how embarrassing!


Now if mommy sang well, this would not be so bad, but she sings far worse than any hound when it comes to singing - BOL. 

Now, isn't my mommy the naughtiest?

Love,

Hope]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Saturday mommy took me to Woofstock 2007 in Balboa Park sponsored by Canine Companions for Independence. I was my usual naughty self, pulling mommy here and there. There were so many people, pups, and things to see and smell.

I decided to do the worst naughty possible when mommy was talking to a K-9 policeman. (He had a boy Malinois in his car.) I was well behaved. In fact, he said that I was a very calm Malinois.

Mommy was totally frustrated 'cuz she wanted to ask the policeman how to get me to listen and behave. But, she couldn't, 'cuz I was on my best behavior, and he would have thought mommy was nuts - BOL 

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Three  years ago today, mommy, grandma, Bubba, and me became a family. I was about five months old. I was in a large cage when I saw mommy for the first time. The nice people in the shelter called me Sugar ‘cuz they said that I was very sweet. 

Mommy called me over to her. When I came to her, and stuck my nose through the bars, she touched my nose. I kissed and nibbled her fingers. Then she was gone. I was sad. Why does everyone leave me all alone?

Soon the woman who feeds and plays with me opened my cage, put my leash on, and there was mommy. We walked for a while, and then I was back in my cage all alone again. Again, I was sad. What's wrong with me?

Next, I was taken to a room where I saw grandma and Bubba for the first time. Mommy was there too. I went over to play with Bubba. He was so big. He moved back when I jumped at him, wanting to play. I think that he was afraid of me ‘cuz I was so young and he was much older. Finally, he sniffed me with his cold nose and barked. After that, they took me away. I was sad again. Was I a bad girl?

The woman took me into another room (so many rooms that I didn’t know about). She weighed me. I weighed 30 pounds. She looked at my tummy boo-boo. She called it a “spay”. She also brushed my hair, sprayed me with something smelly, and told me I was going home. What is home? Soon, I saw mommy, grandma, and Bubba. They were smiling at me. Mommy put a red collar and leash on me. She called me Hope. I was happy and wagged my tail.

We walked outside. Grandma held my leash tight and mommy held Bubba’s leash. I had never been outside before. I was so excited. I jumped on grandma and knocked her over in the grass. Yes, I've always been a naughty girl.  I felt so bad so I kissed her face. Mommy helped grandma up, and we went into mommy’s car. Bubba sat in the back, and grandma held me in her arms, while mommy drove us home. I was very happy.

Even though my big brother Bubba is in heaven and grandma moved to Florida,  leaving just mommy and me, I’m still so happy that mommy, grandma, and Bubba chose me to join their family. 

Please, adopt your next dog and/or cat from a shelter. They need homes too!

Love,

Hope

PS: All of mommy's babies (including my big brother Bubba) were adopted from a shelter. Mommy and grandma know how much we need forever homes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I finally did it. Last night when mommy came home from work, I was feeling very mouthy. I wanted to nibble everything in sight. So I started nibbling mommy's fingers, arms, legs, shoes (you get the picture). Mommy held my face trying to calm me down, and then I saw them - her bosoms (I'm keeping it PG here). Being a very mouthy Malinois, I lunged. Mommy was quick - but not quick enough - BOL

When mommy and I were on our evening walk a couple came towards us. Mommy told me to sit and started giving me my cookies. When the couple passed us, the man said I was a good girl, and the lady said I was beautiful.

Beautiful - yes (of course, just LOOK at ME!),  but good - I've never been so insulted. I'm naughty. Do you hear me - I'm NAUGHTY, VERY VERY NAUGHTY!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This year I got lots of gifts: two over-sized (pink and red) tennis balls (I destroyed the pink one already - BOL),  a bag of Large Greenies,  a stuffed soft bone toy that squeaks (mommy won't let me play with it, 'cuz she knows that I'll rip it apart), a teddy bear blanket, and mommy took me on an extra walk each day she was off last week.  She also let me dig in my favorite place and say hello to my doggie and people friends. I love my mommy.

Mommy also bought two (not one, but TWO) no-pull leashes to keep me from dragging her around the neighborhood.  

Oh, I'm also going to go to school (again) this month for 8 weeks. Mommy says I must be a good girl, but I love to be naughty. BOL

Then mommy tried to put a (cute) shirt on me, Well I was not having any of that nonsense (dogs were born to be naked - BOL), and I started chewing the shirt before mommy could get it over my head. Finally mommy gave up.

I thought I had it made. My no-pull replacement leash is still not stock in and I can drag mommy where ever I want to. But NO, I heard mommy talking about me going to (obedience) school again next month. I guess I'll have to turn a new group of pups naughty (just like me) - BOL

When mommy was picking it up (on an incline) using a plastic bag, I decided to run from side to side. Well mommy lost her balance and fell into my doodie (BOL). Her pant leg was full of my doodie. She tried to wipe it off while scolding me AND holding the doodie bag  (humans and doodie, such a funny combination).

Mommy disposed of my doodie in a trash can and took me home after I made my peepee (cutting our walk short) . Mommy scolded me again, gave me a time out, and had to change her pants so she could go to work. All this over doodie.

Love,

Hope

PS: I hope that my replacement no-pull leash NEVER arrives (BOL).]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanksgiving morning when I took Hope out for a walk in our neighborhood, she really pulled me (in fact, she broke her leash). I thought she was just up to her naughty tricks. But no, she dragged me to an elderly woman who had fallen between two trash cans. 

The elderly woman (her name is Gloria) was awake but confused. There was blood on the road by her head (which was still bleeding). Hope was calm standing by my side, while I yelled for help. 

Neighbors came out, two men lifted Gloria up (and out of the street) and one woman had brought out a chair for her to sit on. Another woman had called 911 on her cell.

Gloria's son was not home, so she went outside to throw out some trash. She probably slipped (from the sidewalk to road) when she moved away from her walker to throw the trash away. 

Hope and I waited until the paramedics got there. Hope was very calm  (with lights and sirens all around us) and was gently kissing Gloria's hands. After I told the paramedics what had happened, Hope and I continued our walk. Gloria spent Thanksgiving in the hospital due to her head injury

Hope is my Hero. I'm blessed to have her in my life. So, this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Hope.

Have a very blessed Thanksgiving.

Love,

Dee (Hope's proud mom)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy made this past weekend my Birthday weekend. Mommy took me to PetSmart on Saturday. She said I was her first doggie to go to a store with her. Brother Bubba was too territorial and sister Shayna was way too scared. Anyway, I barked all the way to the store because I would rather walk than be in a car. 

When we got to the store, I saw a door opening and closing by itself. I only went through the door after I saw another doggie and some people go inside. The place was HUGE. I saw people, children, and doggies.

I pulled mommy everywhere. Finally, I smelled something yummy and dragged mommy to the pig ear and rawhide section.  Since I'm on a special diet; I can't have most treats and/or cookies. I get special cookies from my doctor. 

Mommy dragged me over to the side of the store, I thought she was going to punish me, but then I saw KITTIES. Mommy said they were fostered kitties and needed forever homes. One big black kitty made a face and hissed when he saw me. But, a little teeny weenie tiny baby boy grey tabby kitty looked at me. I lay down by his cage and our noses touched. We were both very calm. Mommy was feeding me my cookies as we looked at each other. Then he stuck his paw out for me to smell. When I touched it with my nose, it hurt a little bit, and I moved back. Mommy said the kitty needed his nails trimmed. I did not want to look at him after that so I got up and dragged mommy around the store again. 

Mommy says we will know when it's time to add a new kitty or puppy to our family. Mommy was also very proud of me, and everyone said that I was very very sweet.

I love you mommy!

Love,

Hope]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I'm three. Actually, we really don't know the exact date of my birth. Mommy adopted me on April 3, 2004. The shelter estimated my age at 5 months, so mommy gave me a birth date of November third. Yes, I am a Scorpio.

Mommy says that I am a big girl now, and cannot be naughty any more. I love being naughty, but I will try to be good for mommy because I love her very much. 

Mommy said that I will have a birthday weekend. She may take me to PetSmart to look at the shelter kitties that need forever homes. Maybe, she will get me a kitty sister or brother. 

So far my birthday is going great. When mommy and I went on our morning walk, I saw one of my boyfriends. He is big like Bubba was. We said "hello", and played for a while. His sister (pug) was also there. We said "hello" too. Mommy says I must be careful with little doggies and kitties so that I don't hurt them.

That's all for now.

Love,

Hope

PS: I got extra cookies this morning too, and mommy sang "Happy Birthday" to me several times.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Saturday mommy took me to the Dog Fair. We saw lots of doggies. There were several Mals; they were hyper and mouthy just like me. One mal was too hyper to sleep with his mommy. He had to sleep in his crate. I love sleeping with my mommy.

I barked at all the doggies when they ran around the agility course, some barked back.

Oh, I met a very very big boy doggie. He weighed 210 pounds, and he was very tall too. He was with his mommy, and we said "hello". He was very friendly and his mommy wanted him to be a therapy dog. He also likes to swim in the ocean.

Mommy let me say "hello" to lots of doggies as we walked around. Most were friendly, but some growled at me. Mommy also lost my cookies as we walked (they fell out of the cookie pouch).

We stayed at the fair for a couple of hours and then we went home. I had lots of fun. I have the best-est mommy in the whole wide world. I love you Mommy!

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy's been letting me say "hello" to more doggies and kitties when we walk. The kitties still puff up, make faces at me, and make a strange sound, but the doggies are friendly (esp. the boys -  BOL).  

Saturday, mommy is taking me to a dog fair. We went last year, and I had a very fun time.  Mommy says I'm a big girl now, and I must be good. But, I still love being naughty. Next month, I will be three years old.

Love,

Hope

PS: Mommy took me to the park on Sunday. My doctor was there with his big boy doggie. We played a little, flirted, and I had fun. I met some smaller doggies too. I love my mommy very much. She is the best-est mommy in the whole wide world!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy, mommy, mommy, why must you bathe me? 

So what if my hair sticks up, and I smell like a stinkleweed! 

So what if my toes are dirty from all the miles we walk together, and I scratch and chew myself a little (after all, I AM a dog) and that's what WE dogs do!

I don't like to take a bath. Every doggy (and sometimes a kitty (or 2) too) sees me naked and wet. (BOL).

Anyway, my friends, mommy took me to South Bark Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day, and I wanted to go on another walk, but noooo, mommy wanted to bathe me. When we got there, we had to wait, so mommy brushed me in the patio, and I said hello to some doggies also waiting to be bathed. Finally, my name was called (drat), and mommy had to drag me in the tub room. 

Carlos put me in the tub (I wasn't going in without a struggle), and gave me my (calming) blueberry scented facial and head massage. Mommy left the washcloth on my head (with the blueberry scent on it) so that I would stay calm. Yeah, right! Would you be calm with your head and rear tethered to the tub, naked and wet for ALL the world to see? Well, would you? I didn't think so.

Mommy chose an Aloe shampoo followed by an Apples/Oat conditioner. She scrubbed and rubbed every inch of my body until I was squeaky clean and sweet smelling. I shook really hard many times (just 'cuz I knew I could get away with it) and got mommy very very wet (BOL). Finally, I got to jump out of the tub (no help needed from Carlos), and we went back to the patio for mommy to dry me. 

More doggies were waiting their turns to be bathed and other doggies were getting dried. One doggie's mommy was using a noisy tube to dry her doggie. Mommy had lots of big clean towels for me to use. She also sprayed some smelly stuff on me and brushed it in. She paid for my bath and we finally went home. 

Mommy took me for my long walk several hours later. All-in-all mommy is the best-est mommy in the whole wide world. Baths, now that's another story!

Love,

Hope

PS: When we got home, I scratched and chewed myself some more. After all, that's what doggies do, don't we? (BOL)]]></content:encoded>

My mommy is the best-est mommy in the whole wide world. She hasn't missed taking me out, and always has a spray bottle (with cold water) to cool me off. She has cookies too. 

I try so hard to be a good girl , but I like to be naughty. I can't help it. It's just the way I am.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hope, Hope, Hope,

Little did I know that when we adopted you on April 3, 2004 our family would eventually (actually, sooner than I thought) be just you and I.

After Bubba's big brother Nicholas (cat) died and his big sister Shayna died, within 7 months of each other,  he became very depressed. Even Bubba's favorite vet tech Nina noticed that he was mopey. Bubba needed a little sister to love.

I knew Bubba's little sister would have to be large enough that he wouldn't hurt her if he fell on her, but  she also had to be young enough to accept him as the leader. 

I remember the first time I saw you in your cage (alone) at Helen Woodard's Animal Center. You were the only puppy that came to me when I called you. The people at the shelter named you "Sugar" because you were so sweet. When I called you, you sat in front of me, cocked your head from side to side (your half up ears were so cute), and kissed my fingers through the bars. Right then and there, I knew you were going to be part of my family. 

Bubba and grandma were waiting in the car. We went into a little room to see how you and Bubba interacted with each other. You went over to Bubba and wanted to play immediately. Bubba was not so eager, so you nagged him until he played with you.

I decided to name you Hope because I hoped that you would be a good sister to Bubba. Instead, you were the best sister.

It took several hours before we could take you home with us. When we got home, you barked for joy and gave us all kisses. 

Because of you, the last two years of Bubba's life was filled with joy, nibbles, and kisses. So many kisses! You loved your Bubba so much.

While grandma was living with us, you kept her on her toes (by being "naughty") for two years. I truly believe that your "naughtiness", kisses, and love kept grandma's colon cancer in check. 

Because of you, we walk many miles twice a day. You are my best friend and I hope and pray that we have many many many more years together.

Love,

Mommy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mommy took me to a place (outside) that had lots of doggies. First, we took a long ride in the car. Mommy called it a freeway. When we got out of the car, doggies were everywhere. Mommy said it was "Wags to wishes", a benefit for the Make a wish program for children with cancer. I HATE cancer! My grandma has colon cancer. 

Anyway, we walked for a long time; it was very hot. Mommy had my water and red bowl with us, so I always had fresh water to drink. There were also big buckets of water everywhere. We saw several other Malinois doggies. One was a 7-month-old boy puppy who I said hello to. He was very cute. Then I said hello to a cute little PBT/GSD baby boy puppy who wanted to be adopted; he only had a foster mommy, not a forever mommy. He was very cute too. I also said hello to other doggies as we walked.

Mommy took me to see sheep. She talked about something called herding. I was more interested in smelling the ground. We also saw lots of doggies running and jumping on things, mommy called that agility. 

We sat down for a while under a canopy to cool off and then we drove home. I rested in the back seat while mommy drove us home. When we got home, I took a nap until it was time for dinner and my evening walk. Mommy said that I was a very good girl.

I have the best-est mommy ever, and I love her very very very much,

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy got me a new collar. I was using the Sense-ible harness, but with the dry hot weather here in San Diego, I started getting an irritation where the straps rubbed against my skin. I have soft and very sensitive skin. 

Mommy bought me a large black collar, but it was too big, so mommy took me to the store for a fitting. I got a medium black collar, said hello to some people and a boy Chihuahua who growled at me. He was hot too. 

Mommy took me on extra walks this weekend (when it wasn't so hot). I love my new collar and my mommy. She is the best-est mommy in the whole wide world.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, before it got too hot, mommy took me for a walk in the park. As soon as I was on the grass, I started kicking it up with my back legs. It felt so good. 

Mommy and I walked for a long time, looking at people and puppies. I sniffed a few trees, and when I got thirsty, mommy gave me some water in my soft red bowl. 

On the way back to mommy's car, a girl asked mommy if she could take my picture. Mommy said OK. At first, I didn't want to sit still, but finally I did. My picture was taken, and we walked back to mommy's car. 

When we got back home, I took a nap. I have the best-est mommy in the whole wide world, and I love her so very very much!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday during our walk, mommy took me over to her friend's house. Her friend has several kitties (much older than me). There was a screen door between us, but I got to see the kitties, and they got to see me. I laid down on the floor and then they laid down. We were all calm. I watched them though the screen rolling on the floor looking at me. 

Mommy's friend said that I should get an older (maybe the same age as me) kitty brother or sister because of something called "prey drive".

Mommy says that I don't have this "prey drive", but an older kitty (needing a forever home) sounds like a good idea as long as they let me kiss them.

Mommy also said that when I'm a good girl we would adopt a kitty. I'm so happy.

I love my mommy so much.

Love,

Hope

PS: I will try to be a good girl but it's very hard. Yesterday evening, I ate half of mommy's yummy sandwich (cream cheese on warm pumpernickel bread). She had to pull the other half out of my mouth. When we took our morning walk today, mommy made sure that my doodie wasn't loose. She's the best-est mommy in the whole wide world.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, grandma moved back to  South Florida. Grandma never liked the weather in Southern California (too cold) and wanted to warm her bones. Also, this round of chemo was very very hard on Grandma.  Mommy is upset and cries a lot. She has been taking care of Grandma (by herself) for 8 years. Mommy needs to calm down. I will try to help her by being a good girl and listening to her. 

Love, 

Hope

PS: Mommy is also trying to find herself, and I told her I would look too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday afternoon mommy gave me a bath at South Bark Dog Wash.  Before my bath, mommy brushed my hair in the patio. Soon, a nice man (Michael) put me in the tub 'cuz I did not want to go in by myself. He also gave me a blueberry facial and massage.  Yes, I like to be pampered and spoiled.

Mommy got me real wet and scrubbed me with an oatmeal shampoo. She said that I looked like "Benji"  (who?) . She also used an  Apple Oats conditioner to make my hair soft and shiny. After my bath was finished, I jumped out of the tub. Mommy dried me on the patio with lots of towels, and put some perfume on me. 

I met some doggy friends, waiting to take their baths, and said "hello".  I liked Chester (a black lab) and he liked me too. Chester was big like Bubba was.  I still miss my Bubba.

After I was dry, mommy tried to get me to go back in again, but I refused. Mommy had to take me around to the front. When she paid the lady for my bath, I went over to a doggie to say "hello". The doggie growled and snapped at me. Mommy pulled me away from that bad doggie real fast. Then we went home.

Love,

Hope]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy and I slept in her big bed last night. Mommy said it was "our" bed now. I love how soft our bed is. I also love pillows. I was a good girl and let mommy sleep most of the night.  Mommy also took me on extra walks this weekend and gave me "my" cookies. I love my mommy so much. 

Grandma came home from the hospital on Friday. I missed her very much and I hope that she never has to go back to the hospital again. I love my grandma so much too. 

Right now mommy is at work and grandma and me are at home.

I miss and love my Bubba.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night mommy took Bubba to the doctor. Bubba wasn't feeling good. He wouldn't even look at me. He just laid by our water bowl and drank a whole bunch of water. I kissed him, but he did nothing. His gums were very pale. Mommy put cookies on the floor by his feet; he didn't eat them. He also made a big peepee in the house as mommy was taking him out. Then he threw up all the water that he drank and made a small doodie (outside). When mommy got back she told me that Bubba died and went to heaven. She told me that I was the big girl now and that I must be good. I miss Bubba oh so much and I will always love him.

Grandma is still in the hospital (side effects from the chemotherapy). Mommy had to call 911 on Monday morning. Lots of men and a woman came in the house (Bubba and me were in our crates) to take grandma away. Mommy says grandma is coming home tomorrow. I really miss grandma. Please say a prayer for my grandma.

Mommy is very very sad. She could not go to work today, but she did take me for an afternoon walk. The nice people that she works with sent her beautiful flowers in a vase. I wanted to eat the flowers but mommy said "no". I love my mommy and I wish that she wasn't so sad.

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night on our evening walk, mommy and me saw four doggies (without their parents) walking in the street. There were two rotties, one husky, and one sammy/GSD doggie. Mommy and I waited ‘til they were gone to start our walk. 

On the way home, we saw these four loose doggies again. They started to come up to us. I was scared. Mommy said in a voice that I never heard before "SCAT!" "GO HOME!" Three of the doggies left, but the big rottie stayed and looked at mommy. I pressed my body against mommy's side. I was quiet. Mommy continued to say "SCAT!" "GO HOME!" many times until the neighbors came and helped shoo that doggie away. After the doggie left, mommy and I walked home. Mommy is so brave and I love her very much. I'm glad that she is my mommy and I’ll try to always be a good girl. 

Love, 

Hope

PS:  If you’re the mommy and/or daddy to a dog, don’t let them out by themselves. Bad things can happen. We doggies love to wear our collars, harnesses, and leashes. We love walking with you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Saturday mommy took me to the doctor for my yearly shots. Mommy says I need shots every year so that I don’t catch any diseases. 

Anyway, while we were waiting, a naughty husky boy puppy was acting mean towards an older PBT mix male while waiting to get his puppy shots. Barks were exchanged. 

I didn’t even want to say hello to this mean little boy puppy.  Bad bad boy puppy! 

After I got my shots (it didn't hurt), I said hello to the PBT. He was 5 years old and very nice. Then mommy took me home.

Love,

Hope

PS: I weighed 66 pounds.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Two years ago today, mommy, grandma, Bubba, and me became a family. I was in a large cage when I saw mommy for the first time. The nice people in the shelter called me Sugar ‘cuz they said that I was very sweet.  Mommy called me over to her. When I came to her, and stuck my nose through the bars, she touched my nose. I kissed and nibbled her fingers. Then she was gone.  I was sad.  Why does everyone leave me all alone?

Soon the woman who feeds and plays with me opened my cage, put my leash on, and there was mommy. We walked for a while, and then I was back in my cage all alone again.  Again, I was sad. What's wrong with me?

Next, I was taken to a room where I saw grandma and Bubba for the first time. Mommy was there too. I went over to play with Bubba. He was so big. He moved back when I jumped at him, wanting to play. I think that he was afraid of me ‘cuz I was so young and he was much older. Finally, he sniffed me with his cold nose.  After that, they took me away. I was sad again. Was I a bad girl?

The woman took me into another room (so many rooms that I didn’t know about). She weighed me. I weighed 30 pounds. She looked at my tummy boo-boo. She called it a “spay”. She also brushed my hair, sprayed me with something smelly, and told me I was going home. What is home? Soon, I saw mommy, grandma, and Bubba. They were smiling at me. Mommy put a red collar and leash on me. She called me Hope. I was happy and wagged my tail. 

We walked outside. Grandma held my leash tight and mommy held Bubba’s leash. I had never been outside before. I was so excited. I jumped on grandma and knocked her over in the grass. I felt so bad so I kissed her face. Mommy helped grandma up, and we went into mommy’s car. Bubba sat in the back, and grandma held me in her arms, while mommy drove us home. I was very happy.

I’m still so happy that mommy, grandma, and Bubba chose me to join their family. Please, adopt your next dog and/or cat from a shelter. They need homes too!

Love, 

Hope

PS: All of mommy's babies (including my big brother Bubba) were adopted from a shelter. Mommy and grandma know how much we need forever homes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sunday afternoon mommy was on the floor. I thought she wanted to play with me, so I ran over to her. I knocked mommy down with my body (mommy says I weigh 65 lbs). I hit mommy in her face with my body.  Her upper lip bled a whole bunch (on the inside where her teeth are). I felt so bad. 

Mommy had to go to urgent care. She couldn't get stitches 'cuz the gash was on the inside of her lip. She also needed a tetnus shot. Mommy couldn't go to work yesterday 'cuz her arm hurt from the shot and her lip hurt. Mommy's lip is puffy too. I gave her kisses to make her feel better. I will try not to be such a bundle of energy. Mommy feels a little better today, so she went to work.

I'm sorry mommy.

Love,

 Hope

PS: Even though mommy hurt, she took me out for all of my walks. She is such a good mommy, and I will try very very hard to be a good girl.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy has been giving me my pills (she says they are called Flagyl)  twice a day since Saturday. My tummy feels better and my doodie is normal. My bottom does not hurt anymore. I did not make my first doodie until Monday evening.  I was afraid to make a doodie after hurting so much on Friday.

Mommy says that I should not eat anything off of the ground (outside or inside). I will try. Mommy also gives me extra water in a small bowl 'cuz I don't like to drink much water. 

Mommy also tells me to be a good girl when we go for our walks. She tells me not to bark or to chase people on motorcycles, bikes, skates, skateboards, scooters, etc. I want to chase them to tell them to be careful, but I will try to stop and listen to mommy. 

Mommy also doesn't want me to to bark and pull to go to other dogs that we see when we walk. 

I will try to be a good girl because mommy is such a good mommy and I love her so much. I also love Bubba and grandma.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Friday afternoon my tummy started to hurt. My doodie was coming out loose and my tummy was making noises. I was up all night and cried for mommy to take me out to make more doodie. My bottom hurt too. 

Mommy said that I had diarrhea, and there was blood in it too. Saturday morning we went in the car and drove to a big building. I had to walk up stairs. We waited for a while, mommy spoke to a woman,  a man came into the room, and took me away.

I was so scared, and I wondered if mommy was leaving me there 'cuz I woke her up all night.  I heard voices, but none were mommy's. Finally another man came in. He listened to my chest, and stuck a thermometer in my bottom. It hurt. He said that I was a good girl. 

I waited some more for mommy. A woman came in and started feeling my tummy. She tried to put something in my bottom again. I cried, and she stopped.  Soon, we walked to another room. How I hoped mommy would be there. But she wasn't. 

Did mommy leave me here? Would I ever see mommy, or Bubba, or grandma again? 

The same man put me on a cold table stretched out, and left while noise was being made above me. Soon he came back, and took me back where I first was taken. 

Suddenly, I heard my name. I was scared.  What was going to happen to me? Soon another man came in, and we went through another door and THERE WAS MOMMY. She did not leave me here. She was very happy to see me. She hugged and kissed me. I played cool 'cuz I did not want her to know how scared I was and how much I missed her. 

Mommy said that I had Colitis, and I would have to take pills for a week.  We walked to our car, and mommy drove us home.

When I got into our house, I kissed Bubba. Mommy put me in my crate, and took Bubba outside to make pee pee. She came back, put Bubba in his crate and left. I fell asleep, and woke up when  mommy and grandma came in.

I was very tired and slept all day. I did not want to go on my evening walk. I just wanted to sleep on my couch with Bubba, grandma, & mommy close by.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy takes me for long walks in our neighborhood twice a day (in the morning and in the evening).  Today I found a wallet by a car.  A women was leaving a house near the car and said the wallet belonged to her roommate.  He had been looking for it all night, so  mommy gave her the wallet.  I also found a twenty dollar bill (so mommy said) on mommy's birthday.  It was a wad of paper, I just wanted to chew it, but mommy said "No".  Mommy does not like me to put anything in my mouth.  I guess she wants my mouth clean when I kiss her, grandma, and Bubba.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sunday afternoon mommy took me to the dog wash for a bath. With the warm dry weather, mommy says I have dandruff.  I was a little itchy.  Mommy first took me to the patio where she brushed and combed my hair.  There were other dogs on the patio, but mommy kept me all to herself even though I wanted to play.

I did not want to climb into the tub, so the owner of the dog wash put me in.  Mommy put a special shampoo on me.  Everybody was watching me.  I had to shake several times, and got mommy very wet.  I could see the other  dogs  in tubs with their mommies and/or daddies, they were not happy either.  I tried to escape several times, but mommy caught me before I could get out. 

Finally, my bath was over, and I jumped out of the tub. Mommy grabbed a lot of towels. We went back to the patio and mommy dried and brushed me. We stayed for a while because mommy wanted me dry before we went in the car. I saw more dogs,  and I still wanted to play, but mommy kept me all to herself again. 

Mommy bought a bottle of the special shampoo so that she can bathe me in our shower if the weather is too cold.  I've never been in our shower.  Bubba has, and he says it's not so bad.  Maybe mommy will put Bubba and me together in the shower.

While we were leaving, I did get some kisses from several cute boys.  Don't tell mommy, I kissed them back. 

Hope

PS: Bubba still wants a cookie (or two, or three, or four ...).]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This past week mommy said I had another Birthday.  Since I was a rescue, no one knows the exact day that I was born; and I don't remember that far back.  

Anyway;  mommy, grandma, and Bubba sang "Happy Birthday" to me and gave Bubba and me some cookies.  Mommy also said that I must be a good girl now that I am all grown up.  I still will be naughty when no one is looking. Bubba will cover for me, if  I give him a cookie (0r two).
