		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was tagged by Shiloh!  Thanks Shiloh!  This was lots of fun!


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!


Here are 7 fun facts about me:

1. I sometimes drool in my sleep.  Mom doesn't mind, she says I make cute puddles.

2. I love cats.  I like to play and snuggle with them. 

3. I like to eat on the couch.  Mom puts my bowl of kibble on the couch, so I can lay down, watch TV, and eat my dinner.

4. I hate rain and all kinds of running water.

5. When I was a pup, my whole face was brown and black.  In the last few months, however, I've developed lots of white around my snout!

6. I hate having my nails clipped!

7. I'm a little spoiled.  I admit it.  Mom loves to baby me.


I tag these pups:

1. Lady
2. Hailey
3. Lola
4. Solitaire
5. Grommit
6. Snoopy
7. Max Sir Barks A Lot]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has been frantic over all of the pet food recalls!   Ginger and I had been eating Natural Balance for over a year.  But, after they issued their  second recall last week, mom just couldn't trust them anymore.  We're now eating Innova EVO!  The only store that sells it is quite a while away, but its worth it.  They manufacture their kibbles in their own plant and it is completely grain-free!  We really like it too!

In other news, Ginger and I had a bath today.  I normally hate baths, but I did very well!  It was warm outside, so it was actually a little fun!]]></content:encoded>

Everything is back to normal!  Yay!  

As a precaution, I have to stay on my medicine and prescription kibble until next Tuesday.  Then, as long as the symptoms don't come back, I get to stop the meds and go back to my normal food!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our weather was so lovely yesterday!  Mom, Ginger, and I spent most of the day outside enjoying the sun!  Mom played and ran with us a bit.  Then, she settled down in a chair while we played some more.  

Mom laughed at me because when I got tired, I jumped in her lap and curled up in the chair with her!  

It's like she expects me to lay on the ground!  Pffft!  Not when there is a comfy mommy lap available!



PS:  I want to thank everypup that has sent me well wishes!  I'm so feeling much better now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <i>According to a National Pet Owners survey, dog owners spend about $45.00 per year on dog toys</i> 


Really?  I know that my mom pampers me, but that seems really low!  I get (at least) one new toy a week!  Those are usually $1 each, so those alone cost $52 a year!

Then, Kong toys are normally around $10 each.  I <u>have</u> to get at least one of those a year!  I love my Kongs!   Plus, I need new, sturdy tug and plush toys every few months!  

Plus, I get lots of toys on my birthday and on Christmas!  Heck, mom spents more than $45 on each of those occasions alone!]]></content:encoded>

Until then, I'm not allowed to eat anything!  The horror!  Then, I start on a bland diet and medicine in the morning!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my mom's favorite doggie poem.  She says it reminds her of me!


<b>The Happy Dog's Bedtime Prayer
Author Unknown</b>

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The queen-size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the center groove,
My human being can hardly move.

I've trapped her legs,
she's tucked in tight,
and here is where I pass the night.
No one disturbs me or dares intrude,
Til morning comes and I want food.

I sneak up slowly and it begins,
My nibbles on my human's chin.
she wakes up slowly and smiles and shouts,
"You darling beast! Just cut it out!"
But morning's here and its time to play,
I always seem to get my way.

So thank you Lord, for giving me,
this human person that I see
The one who holds me tight
and shares her bed with me at night!]]></content:encoded>

Ginger got a harness too.  It's black and she looks so cute!  Mom also got a harness for the kittens, but they do not like them at all!  Maybe, they'll get use to them eventually!]]></content:encoded>

Then, mum made me a special treat for dinner!  It was from <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.simplypets.com/pet-recipes/Dog/Meal/340">this recipe</a>!

We also got to see Leila, their collie again!  She's such a silly doggie, but I was too tired to play with her after romping outside for so long!  Maybe, she can come visit us later to make up for it!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow!  I think Santa brought me a puppy!

Mom went outside on the day after Christmas and found an orphaned puppy under our storage building!  Mom took it to the vet and learned she's only a little over a week old!  She was a bit dehydrated, but the vet fixed that and gave mom lots of tips on how to raise her and keep her healthy!

Her eyes aren't even open, but she's doing really well.  She's gaining weight quickly and eating really well!  It's a little tiring, because she needs to eat a lot!

She is so cute and tiny!  She's black & tan (with a little white) like me and Ginger!  We have no idea what breed she may be, but the vet thinkis she'll be medium-large in size... also, like me and Ginger!  It must be fate!

We've named her Ella.  She  has to go back to the vet in a few days (as soon as her eyes open) for another checkup.  Keep your fingers crossed for her!



PS:  Thanks, Santa!  I really wasn't expecting a puppy, but I think she'll fit right into our family!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Connie,

Every day you make me smile.  Your goofy little games, insane puppy fits, and big sloppy kisses never fail to brighten my mood.

Honestly, I don't think I've woken up grouchy since I found you!  Who could with you curled up next to them?! 

You are my pride and joy and I am so incredibly thankful to have you in my life.  I can only hope that I make you half as happy as you make me!


Your mummy loves you!]]></content:encoded>

They are so sweet!  They let me give them kisses!

They're worried that Ginny has something called 'diabieties'.  They're suppose to get the results tomorrow and I really hope she's okay!  She's the best big sister ever!  I don't want her to be sick!]]></content:encoded>

I can't wait to get them!  I love toys!  I especially love toys with squeakers, and I like tennis balls, and toys with stuffing, and rope toys for tugging, and Kongs....  I just love toys!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had lots of fun today!  I got to hunt eggs and was really good at it.  Aunt Terri tried to be tricky and hide some of the eggs in high places, but I'm too smart!  I found them anyway!

We also had a nice Easter meal.  I got some chicken!  Yummy!  

Then, mummy played outside with me for a bit.  It was way too hot to stay out long, though!  I normally get to play for 2 or 3 hours, but one hour was plenty for me today!]]></content:encoded>

I ran back in the house when I saw that Aunt Terri was getting out the hose-pipe, though!  I don't trust her around water!  She likes to splash me!

Tomorrow, we're going to have a big Easter dinner and then hide-and-seek Easter Eggs!  That sounds like fun!]]></content:encoded>

There's going to be 1 cake for the doggies, and even 1 for the humans too!  We even get a pinata filled with doggie treats!  Plus, we're even having a cookout!  It's going to be so fun! 

I can't wait for the presents!  I've been snooping (I can't help it!  I'm a hound!) and saw that mummy got me a new Kong!  I'm not sure what else I'm going to get, but I'm sure that I'll love it all!

Mummy will be sure to take and post lots of pictures!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had our house guest yesterday!  Tweety, my great-grandmother's collie, spent the day with us!  I wasn't sure if I liked her much at first, but then I showed her around a bit and we started playing!  I had so much fun rolling around and running with her!  She was a lot of fun!  She's such a silly doggie!


Mum says she is so, very proud of me!  She says I was a very polite and well-mannered pup!  She says that, since I'm such a good girl, we'll try and have Tweety over again soon!

I don't think it will be very soon though, I think walking three doggies at once was a bit too much for my poor mummy!]]></content:encoded>

Mum says that I'm a very healthy pup!  The only thing that mum is worried about, is a bump I have on my shoulder.  The doctor is going to remove it next month, just as a precaution.  He says it shouldn't be anything to worry too much about though!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mummy has been talking about visiting the veterinarian again!  She says it's just a checkup and it's nothing to worry about, but I really don't like doctor visits!  Last time I went, I had to stay for a few hours and be "fixed".  When mummy came back to get me, I got so excited I piddled all over the floor!  Ooops!

Soon after the vet visit, which will be next week, we're going to have a house guest!  My great-grandma's collie pup, Tweety, will be spending the night on the 14th.

Then, on March 26th, I turn one year old!  Mum is buying me a cake and we're going to have a big birthday party!  She keeps telling me that I'm getting lots and lots of presents!  I can't wait!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mum keeps complaining that I've been hogging the bed!  Honestly, I can't help it if the bed isn't big enough for both of us anymore!  I'm a growing pup; I need to have extra room to stretch out!

However, even if I do hog the bed, I know mum won't ever make me sleep on the doggie bed or in the floor.  Secretly, she loves my cuddles and probably wouldn't be able to sleep without me!

I'm am crossing my paws that she'll buy a bigger bed though!]]></content:encoded>
