		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...then you should've put a ring on it!
There were reports that Reese Witherspoon 
and Jake Gyllenhaal were splitsville, 
but this has been denied by their reps.

Rumor has it that Jake was the one
who wanted to get married
but Reese didn't want to...
hey, I don't blame her!
She and her pointy chin
can pretty much buy 
their own island nation.  :o)

Plus she's already done the whole
husband and kids thang.  
Look how that turned out
(yes I'm glaring at you
Ryan Phillippe!!!)  :P]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What do y'all think about Tiger Wood's
car accident this weekend?

The smashed back window of his SUV...
was his wife breaking him out?
or chasing after him with the golf clubs?

Were the cuts on his face
due to the accident???
But since there was no blood
on the steering wheel
did his wife scratch his face up 
right before the accident???

The rumored blow up between the two
may have been kick-started by 
a National Enquirer story
about an alleged 'other woman'

If it's true, then he needs to man up
and take responsibility for it
but if all of this happened
because of a false story
I hope they sue the pants off
the National Enquirer!  :o)

Tiger, thanks for making
this otherwise un-gossip worthy
Thanksgiving weekend
extra super juicy with your scandal!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The world will be Oprah-less in 2011!
Oprah Winfrey plans to broadcast
her last show after 25 years of being on the air
on September 9, 2011

Of course you will still be able
to catch her on her cable channel
<i>OWN: the Oprah Winfrey Network</i>

We only got to watch the show
back when momma was recuperating
and house bound for six weeks
and got to see defining moments
like Tom Cruise jumping on her couch
and Oprah giving away crazy gifts 
to her audience members like 
cruises and baby elephants.

Will you miss Oprah?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There have been rumors recently
of Angelina Jolie's plans for world domination
by adopting another baby - this one from Syria

Currently, the Jolie has seven children:
~ two little boys adopted from Asia - Maddox and Pax
~ one daughter, Zahara, adopted from Africa
~ three biological kids Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne

If we were to presume that St. Angie
were to adopt a child from every country
she would have to adopt 191 more kids
to fulfill that mission.

Possibility of that happening?
Not likely

We could broaden the scope 
so St. Angie could aspire
to adopt a child from every continent.
She's already got three continents knocked out
so she'd just hafta hit Australia, Antarctica, 
Europe, and South America 

But really... that's only three more kids
and she'd only be able to adopt a penguin in Antarctica...
so this option is probably out as well.

If she's looking to focus on countries within
her current continents of choice, 
with the assumption of one child per country
she'd only have to adopt:
52 more kids out of Africa 
and 45 more kids out of Asia.

OR... she could just adopt some doggies?  :o)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ At Britney Spears' Perth, Australia show Friday night - fans walked out after about three songs, angry that she wasn't singing live.

Even the Australian government has gotten involved in the dispute. New South Wales Minister for Fair Trade Virginia Judge is considering requiring Britney to disclose on tickets for future shows that she doesn't sing live. "Australians would not tolerate a 'Mickey Mouse' performace," Judge told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. "Let's be clear. Live means live."

Yeah!!!!  :o)  Although I feel bad for Britney, people aren't paying money to see her prance around in skimpy outfits grinding robotically against some dood or doods.  Does anybody sing live anymore???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Former Golden Girls star Rue McClanahan is recovering after undergoing an emergency heart bypass, just days after her doctor spotted a problem during a routine medical examination.

The 75-year-old actress was hospitalised earlier this month after a physician noticed a problem with her heart while undergoing tests for a planned knee operation.

McClanahan, best known for her role as Blanche Devereaux on the hit series, apologised to fans for having to pull out of Golden: A Gala Tribute to Rue McClanahan at San Francisco's Castro Theatre on 14 November.

But despite insisting she just needed some "maintenance on the old ticker", the star was rushed into the operating room on Wednesday to undergo serious heart bypass surgery.

However, her pal Del Shores reveals the op went "very, very well," adding, "She's going to be great and up and entertaining us all very shortly."]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tennis star Andre Agassi kept a hair-raising secret under his hat throughout his stellar tennis career - his famous 'lion-mane' locks were in fact a wig.

The retired athlete and eight-time Grand Slam champion has revealed he donned a toupee during his games after realizing he was losing his hair in his early 20s.

The shocking confession appears in his new autobiography, <i>Open</i>, in which Agassi also admits he was hooked on addictive drug crystal methamphetamine at the height of his career.

Agassi is convinced he could have won more matches if he hadn't gone prematurely bald - because he was so worried his toupee would fall off on the court.  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Warning: Don't read if worms, fleas, ticks and other yuckies freak you out... but it *is* a feel-good story!  :o)

--

Hilary Swank's adopted dog Karoo was literally rotting from the inside out when the actress found her on the streets of South Africa - and saved her life.

The Boys Don't Cry star was shooting in The Karoo, South Africa when she took a shine to a local stray who followed her around the set - and she decided to make sure she was Ok before she left the country.

Convinced someone was looking after the dog - because she looked well fed, Swank was stunned when she learned the mutt was actually close to death.

She says, "I took her to the vet and the vet said..., 'She's actually fat because she's full of worms'.

"She had so many fleas on her they said that they should have sucked all her blood out; they couldn't believe it... She had seven ticks in one ear and six in the other.

"They said, 'If you don't take this dog, she will certainly not make it.'"

Swank took the dog home with her and added another rescued pet, Roomie, last year.

She adds, "They bring a lot of joy to my life." 

Awwwwwww!!!  :o)]]></content:encoded>

the show will debut

It will be a weekly show

put on the hat and crack the whip
if the script is good

In the last installment of the Indy series
Harrison Ford looked pretty good
for an old guy
but my question is
if they could make <i>him</i>
look so good
why wouldn't they make
Karen Allen who plays
Marion Ravenwood
look just as good?!?  So unfair!

Maybe the new movie will be called
     <i>Indiana Jones 
...and the Chalice of Eternal Youth</i>
because whatever they're doing
to make Ford look that good
it's working!  :o)]]></content:encoded>

must've gotten unbearable
cos Kanye has issued 
another apology on his blog

Uh huh.  Yep.

the only part I enjoyed

After leashing up his dog
Gerry walked away
but not fast enough
and to prevent a third bite
he reportedly 'nudged' 
the greyhound and the pug apart

that Gerry ''slammed'

Cameron Diaz is another 
one of those chicks

She's been linked with

just to name a few

Her latest hookup is with
Keanu Reeves... whooooa!
During the date, the actress was seen

And now with the story about
DNA testing that supposedly proves
that Rielle Hunter's baby daddy

MY question is... why is
Elizabeth Edwards still standing by
her douchey excuse of a husband?!
Poor woman.

Oh, and an interesting little schnibble
Rielle was born Lisa Jo Druck
It's a good thing she changed it
cos 'Rielle' is so much more
of an appropriate name 
for a homewrecker
doncha think?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A British version of Gossip Girl
or a reality show featuring Paris Hilton...  
which would you prefer?

TV bosses in the UK decided to go with
"Paris Hilton's British Best Friend"
instead of the Gossip Girl-esque drama
entitled "Trinity"

The dood who stars in the show,
Charles Dance, is hoppin' mad!

Read what he says:

"We're putting too much energy into junk and reality television. This show was going to be shown in January or February. But they shelved it until September to put you know what in its place? Paris Hilton's British Best Friend, which is possibly the most execrable piece of television I've ever seen in my life. God knows what the ratings were. It's a piece of television for airheads, starring an airhead."

I don't know who this dood is, but he's my hero!  :o)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ If Gwyneth Paltrow can do GOOP
I can totally do POOP!  :o)

<b>Make</b>
   ...fresh rosemary infused squirrel liver pate with generous crunchy chunks of mediterranean kitteh roca, the secret is the gentle folding of these luscious ingredients to create this decadent appetizer which will be sure to please any guest.  Serve with freshly baked kumataka doggie crisps.


<b>Go</b>
   ...to London, Paris, Istanbul.  It doesn't matter where you poop, just so long as you leave a little of yourself behind.   


<b>Get</b>
   ...the latest Fall trend - jumpsuits for dogs.  Off the shoulder, with suspenders, turtleneck, stripes, plaid... cinch it up, wear your collar as a belt!  This is a fashionable must have for your evening strolls at the park or for your annual (or surprise) visit to the vet.  


<b>Do</b>
   ...your duty.  Scoop your poop - no one wants to look at that mess, no matter how artistic your swirl is.  Reduce your carbon pawprint, walk to the park instead of driving there - unless of course you live more than two blocks away, then have the limo driver drop you off.


<b>Be</b>
   ...be the poop, smell the poop, feel the poop... ommmmm.  


<b>See</b>
   ...the latest exhibits on poop culture.  Our local gallery has a fresh showing of origami poop on display until the 18th, we are so jazzed to see it.  Next week, we'll be attending a lecture series headed by world renowned poop psychologist Dr. Richard Splarts entitled 'Corn: You Are What You Eat']]></content:encoded>

if celebs don't want to admit
who they are dating
but all this sneaking around
is just going to make us 
THAT much more nosey!!!  :o)

So Renee Zellweger (<i>Bridget Jones</i>)
and Bradley Cooper (<i>The Hangover</i>)
are they or aren't they?

Plus he's seen running around
with these other chickie-poos:
Lake Bell, Denise Richards and Jennifer Aniston

They're after him
like vultures circling rancid meat...

Mmmm... rancid meat.
That's just extra flavoring, right?

Anyway, you may or may not know
this little tidbit about Bradley Cooper:
he was previously married to 
Jennifer Esposito who played  "Ahhhhndrea" 
on the now canceled ABC show <i>Samantha Who?</i>
... a show which we loved 
because Christina Applegate 
with her perky corkscrew curls
just makes us poot rainbows and ponies
(that's a good thing!)

But that's a whole 'nother post...

Anyway, <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://tinyurl.com/le5neg">Renee and Bradley</a>

Octomom, Nadya Suleman's reality show has begun production - no network has signed on to air the show yet.  Do you plan to watch her show when it airs?  No judgement passed if you do - I know the feeling, you don't want to stare, but you just can't look away.

In other crazy baby news, a UK woman who has given birth to <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://tinyurl.com/ler46d">13 children is pregnant again</a>.  Okay, so she didn't give birth to all 13 at once, but did I mention that all 13 children, one by one, were taken away from her due to severe neglect? 

*sigh*

Spaying and neutering...  it's the only solution.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Poor Jess... dumped on the eve of her
Ken and Barbie themed birthday celebration - 
that's gotta suck, right?

Fingers are being pointed
as to who was cheating on whom
but the strangest allegation I've read
is <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://tinyurl.com/lowdl6">Kenny Chesney</a> jumping into the fray
to clear up any rumors that *he* 
did not have anything to do with
Ken and Barbie's breakup...

Dood.  Seriously?

So are you Team Romo 
or Team Simpson?]]></content:encoded>

<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://tinyurl.com/mapl6y">Jude Law</a>... not so much.

Perhaps feeling as though
he hasn't had <i>enough</i> offspring 
sprouting forth from his loins
Jude Law is soon-to-be father to a fourth child

He already has three children with his ex-wife
and now he's got another squaller on the way
this time it is a woman he had a fling with
while filming in New York

(Don't even get me started on the whole
cheated on the ex-wife with then girlfriend,
and then cheated on the ex-girlfriend with the nanny)

If dogs hafta get neutered
it would only be fair that he be neutered too
doncha think?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <i>I called our hotel but the response was "I'm sorry, sir. We've been booked up for months." With sudden inspiration, I called back.... This time I said, "Hello, this is Shana's human..." and this time the response was, "Oh yes, sir. Come on down. We always have a room for you." It really puts you in your place when your dog can get a hotel room, but you can't.</i>

~ J. Emmett Black, Jr., on how all the staff at a certain Holiday Inn knew his dog by name, but not him. Crime was reduced whenever Shana stayed there; she's a 120 pound Great Dane.]]></content:encoded>

If you could somehow get a group of dogs to understand the concept of the Kennedy assassination, they would all immediately confess to it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ To Flush, My Dog

~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

<i>Loving friend, the gift of one
Who her own true faith has run
Through thy lower nature,
Be my benediction said
With my hand upon thy head,
Gentle fellow-creature!

Like a lady's ringlets brown,
Flow thy silken ears adown
Either side demurely
Of thy silver-suited breast
Shining out from all the rest
Of thy body purely.

Darkly brown thy body is,
Till the sunshine striking this
Alchemise its dullness,
When the sleek curls manifold
Flash all over into gold
With a burnished fulness.

Underneath my stroking hand,
Startled eyes of hazel bland
Kindling, growing larger,
Up thou leapest with a spring,
Full of prank and curveting,
Leaping like a charger.

Leap! thy broad tail waves a light,
Leap! thy slender feet are bright,
Canopied in fringes;
Leap! those tasselled ears of thine
Flicker strangely, fair and fine
Down their golden inches

Yet, my pretty, sportive friend,
Little is't to such an end
That I praise thy rareness;
Other dogs may be thy peers
Haply in these drooping ears
And this glossy fairness.

But of thee it shall be said,
This dog watched beside a bed
Day and night unweary,
Watched within a curtained room
Where no sunbeam brake the gloom
Round the sick and dreary.

Roses, gathered for a vase,
In that chamber died apace,
Beam and breeze resigning;
This dog only, waited on,
Knowing that when light is gone
Love remains for shining.

Other dogs in thymy dew
Tracked the hares and followed through
Sunny moor or meadow;
This dog only, crept and crept
Next a languid cheek that slept,
Sharing in the shadow.

Other dogs of loyal cheer
Bounded at the whistle clear,
Up the woodside hieing;
This dog only, watched in reach
Of a faintly uttered speech
Or a louder sighing.

And if one or two quick tears
Dropped upon his glossy ears
Or a sigh came double,
Up he sprang in eager haste,
Fawning, fondling, breathing fast,
In a tender trouble.

And this dog was satisfied
If a pale thin hand would glide
Down his dewlaps sloping, --
Which he pushed his nose within,
After, -- platforming his chin
On the palm left open.

This dog, if a friendly voice
Call him now to blither choice
Than such chamber-keeping,
"Come out!" praying from the door, --
Presseth backward as before,
Up against me leaping.

Therefore to this dog will I,
Tenderly not scornfully,
Render praise and favor:
With my hand upon his head,
Is my benediction said
Therefore and for ever.

And because he loves me so,
Better than his kind will do
Often man or woman,
Give I back more love again
Than dogs often take of men,
Leaning from my Human.

Blessings on thee, dog of mine,
Pretty collars make thee fine,
Sugared milk make fat thee!
Pleasures wag on in thy tail,
Hands of gentle motion fail
Nevermore, to pat thee

Downy pillow take thy head,
Silken coverlid bestead,
Sunshine help thy sleeping!
No fly's buzzing wake thee up,
No man break thy purple cup
Set for drinking deep in.

Whiskered cats arointed flee,
Sturdy stoppers keep from thee
Cologne distillations;
Nuts lie in thy path for stones,
And thy feast-day macaroons
Turn to daily rations!

Mock I thee, in wishing weal? --
Tears are in my eyes to feel
Thou art made so straitly,
Blessing needs must straiten too, --
Little canst thou joy or do,
Thou who lovest greatly.

Yet be blessed to the height
Of all good and all delight
Pervious to thy nature;
Only loved beyond that line,
With a love that answers thine,
Loving fellow-creature!</i>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today marks the anniversary of Daisy's passing.  Hardly a day goes by that we don't talk about her or think about her.  My heart squeezes just a little bit every time I think of her.  Sometimes there are tears that spring into my eyes... but mostly it's the memories of what a wonderful, smart, and beautiful doggie she was... and <i>that</i> makes me smile through the tears.  She was such a <i>good</i> girl.  My only sadness is because of the short time we had with her.  She gave us so much joy and love.  We are a little blue today because we miss her, but <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/710533">Ella</a> says she will make herself available for huggin-on's throughout the day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <i>Lassie looked brilliant, in part because the farm family she lived with was made up of idiots. Remember? One of them was always getting pinned under the tractor, and Lassie was always rushing back to the farmhouse to alert the other ones. She'd whimper and tug at their sleeves, and they'd always waste precious minutes saying things: "Do you think something's wrong? Do you think she wants us to follow her? What is it, girl?" as if this had never happened before, instead of every week.</i>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ~ Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
~ Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy
~ When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
~ When it's in your best interest, practice obedience
~ Let others know when they've invaded your territory
~ Take naps and stretch before rising
~ Run, romp, and play daily
~ Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
~ Never pretend to be something you're not
~ If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it
~ When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently
~ Avoid biting when a simple growl will do
~ On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree
~ When you're happy, dance around, and wag your entire body
~ No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout; run right back and make friends
~ Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
~ Be loyal

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Daisy,

I am emailing you in reference to Ela's <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/710533">diary posting entitled, "Cheatin'!"</a>.

Do you think you and Ela would have gotten along together?  I mean, you liked your personal space and let's face it...  Ella essentially has none and doesn't know what it means.  We love that about her, since it is innate in her sungglebunny-ness...  but I don't know if you two would have gotten along very well.

I'm sure you would put up with each other, but as far as really getting along and being BFF...  Well, I'm not so sure.

What do you think?

Daddy

--

Dear Daddy,

I most certainly would NOT have gotten along with Schmella.  (I call her <i>Schmella</i> for dog's sake!)  Hee!  ;o)

I would've been at least four years old if Ela had come into our lives, and I most definitely would NOT have wanted to snuggle, play, share, live, or sleep with her.

BUT, that doesn't mean <i>another</i> schmellicious doggie may very well want to snuggle, play, share, live, or sleep with her. 

I'm just me...  too cool for public displays of affection.  And anything that might chip my manicure.  Or muss up my hairdo.  

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

~ Schmella has no qualms about flashing the goodies 

~ The clumsy galoot knocks into things.  Many, many things... mainly with her big head

~ The Poopsmith lays fresh dog biscuits willy nilly all over the yard - pick a spot in the woods *away* from the house, for dogs sake!

~ She burps like a big, burly trucker (sorry, no offense to truckers out there)

~ Her farts are heinous and can clear a room.  Her rump rippers come in two flavors:  SBD (silent but deadly) and the more prominent SBV (silent but violent)

~ She <i>humps</i> boy dogs...  (*sigh*)

And finally, I leave you with one last word:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/338423">ELVIS</a></b>: What's all the hoopla aboot?

<b>Daisy</b>: Haha!  I love your Canadian accent!  <i>Aboot</i>!  ;o)  The hoopla is because of <i>you</i>

<b>ELVIS</b>: Me?  I don't understand.

<b>Daisy</b>: Yes, YOU!  All of us angels have been watching over you the whole time you've been sick down on earth.  We saw how hard your momma fought for you, we saw how Winston's family helped you find a new vet, and we saw how Dogsters united to pray and support you and your family.  We were wishing and praying right along with them... hoping you would be able to stay with your family.

<b>ELVIS</b>: Uh huh!  I tried.  I fought so hard.  It was a good battle.

<b>Daisy</b>: Yep.  You did the best you could.  Your peeps did the best they could.  And the good vet did the best she could.  You got the best because you deserved the best.

<b>ELVIS</b>: But I had to leave my mom, dad, li'l patrick, and my sis behind...

<b>Daisy</b>: I know, but we'll get to see all of them again one day.  But for now, you're free from pain and hurt and all the nasties that our physical bodies couldn't deal with.  Your momma was smart enough, unselfish enough, and brave enough to let you go because it was time.  She loved you so much.  Everyone on Dogster fell in love with you too.

<b>ELVIS</b>: So what do we do up here?

<b>Daisy</b>: Well, first we have to pawty cos you're here now.  Then we have to wrap our angel wings around those that we had to leave behind.  It helps 'em, y'know?  They can't see us, but they can feel us...  they know we're safe and happy and whole once again.  And we can let them know that it's okay to cry and to miss us. 

<b>ELVIS</b>: Okay, I may need some help with these wings... I'm not sure I've got a hang of them yet.

<b>Daisy</b>: Sure thang.  Oh, and uh... if <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.catster.com/cats/514062">TONKA</a> says anything about certain head-chompin's he may or may not have gotten, I wouldn't pay too much attention to him.  I think he's just had way too much catnip at the kitty free-fur-all buffet and it's, uh... making him say the strangest things.  Yeah.  Uh huh.  That's it.]]></content:encoded>

Let's get Elvis back up to an acceptable level of bones!!  He needs all the nourishment he can get right now.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Up here at the bridge... I am free from sweaters, bandannas, and other ridiculous costumes I was forced to wear by my momma.

Not that I *really* minded wearing them or posing for the camera.  Besides which, momma was relentless and there was usually peanut butter involved.

I kinda miss my sweaters.  They made me feel so pretty.  :o)

All these lovely clothing items have been passed down to <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/710533">my successor Ella</a>.  Have I mentioned just how uncivilized she is?  She is quite the brute.  She thinks sweaters are for eating.  What a savage!]]></content:encoded>

He was recently attacked by two kittehs... I mean, not really, but these two kittehs came to live at his house, and they all were getting along just fabulously when all of a sudden one of the kitteh's got sick.  :o(  United is his name... and he's only a baby kitteh.  

Did you know that you can log in with your Dogster username / password and infiltrate Catster?!  Yep... it's true.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today would've been my fourth birthday.  My peeps still miss me every day (okay, take a deep breath, momma... don't go teary-eyed on me now), BUT they've currently got their hands full with a big-headed doggie that has taken over their lives... officially introducing the newest member of the pack:  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/710533">Ella</a> (or Schmella - as I like to call her).  Her Dogster page is pretty sparse at this point, but we'll be working on it.

There is another reason today is also a very important day.  Wanna know why?  Cos it's <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345061">Izzy's birthday</a>!  Please pop on over to her page and send her woofday wishes.  :o)]]></content:encoded>

Daisy: Okay, fine... I won't call her Schmella to her face.

*grumble*

So this new dog Ella has invaded my peeps' home.
She arrived last night.  Her foster mommy Lora brought her over so she could stay for a trial period.
She is a brute!  No manners!

Momma: <i>Daisy!</i>

Daisy:  Okay, sorry.

*ahem*

Like I was saying, she is very different from me.  But, if you want to learn more about her, my peeps have started <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://elluvadog.blogspot.com/">a blog to track Ella's progress</a>.  They weren't sure about starting a Dogster page for her yet (since it's only for a trial period), but if / when things become definite... you know she's going to rock this place.  :o)  

. . . because she's one big hulkish beast.

Momma:  DAISY!

Daisy:  Um, that's all I gots to say.  K, thanks, bye!]]></content:encoded>

It's a good thing I peed AND puked in several places in the house so *she* knows I was there.  I know the peeps delude themselves into thinking they can get rid of the stains and scents with Nature's Miracle... I know THEY can't smell it, but I bet doggie can.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Holy Mackinoly!  My peeps are pooped.  They visited the county animal shelter on Saturday and it was just one big blur.  Dogs, dogs, dogs... everywhere!  Big ones, small ones, black ones, white ones...  OMG!  Momma wanted to take them *all* home.  From the ones that the can remember:  there was a spazzy little boy puppy, a shy little girl puppy, an awesome blonde doggie who loved to play fetch, and a cool looking boy doggie with the sweetest face.  They spent about three hours at the animal shelter visiting and walking the doggies.  

My peeps also have some applications in to some rescue groups in NC... one of the doggies came by for a home visit last Wednesday.  FUN!  She is a cute little pitbull mix and is ALL puppy.  The girl could not settle down - that is, until we gave her belly rubs.  Then she would not get up at all.  :o)  Oh, and treats.  She LOVED treats and ate them in a really cute lip smackin', gator chompin' kinda way.  Hee!

Will post more pupdates as I find out more...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

In approximately 15 days my peeps are going to scour the shelters to bring home a doggie.  My momma is bouncin' off the walls.  And every once in a while, she lets out a little squeal.  Eeee!  Then my daddy goes and reminds her that they're going to bring home a doggie soon, she squeals some more.  Eeeeeeeee!!  And then she starts chanting: doggie! doggie! doggie! doggie! doggie!

Uh huh.  They're excited.

Will the new doggie have awesome ears like Izzie or Elvis?  Or perhaps some long, elegant sticks like Tavar?  A great smile like Izzy or Maggie May? Oh, the possibilities!!!

It's a good thing my peeps are on vacation - otherwise all they'd be doing all this bouncing and squealing at work (daddy says: he doesn't bounce <i>or</i> squeal).

Will keep y'all updated.  :o)
Eeeeeee!

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ... and you get crappy answers!  :o)  Within 2 hours of posting my question about poo, pupmail came flying through the webernets at an alarming speed and landed in my inbox with a loud splat.  All were keen to share their poo-size wisdom with me.  Thank you!  I'm sending pumpkin rosettes (because it causes lots of poo to appear - firm or otherwise) for all that raced to enlighten me with their experiences.  Hee!!

From what I've gathered 85% of you say that the size of the dog DOES indeed matter.  In combination with the size of the dog, many of you mentioned that the quality of food also plays an important role as to whether or not your poos are Hello Kitty-sized (cute, small, and smells like strawberries) vs Klingon-sized (um, big and hairy?? and kinda scary?).

Y'all are just the best pup pals evah!  Thanks for answering my poo questions... only dog lovers wouldn't think I'm crazy.  I sure loves me some Dogster.

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

My peeps are looking at rescuing another doggie.  They don't have much criteria in mind other than it being sweet and lovable (which are ALL doggies!!!).

Me?  I was both sweet and lovable.  I was only 24 lbs at my heaviest... thus being a smaller dog, I had somewhat small dainty poops (with the exception of some donkey dumps resulting from competitive eating sessions). 

My peeps are not deterred by the size of the poop to scoop... however, they're curious as to whether bigger dogs have bigger downloads?  And smaller dogs bust smaller grumpies?  It'd be kinda scary to see a chihuahua bust out a 2x4-sized log.  Just curious.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

OMD!  I can't believe December is upon us... along with which comes cool winter rosettes:  snowflakes and snowmen.  PLUS!  Don't forget to enter your pics in  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/hpp07/holiday_upload.php">Dogster's 2007 Howliday Picture Pawty</a>.  I think it's only fair that your peeps put up embarrassing photos of you in your reindeer ears, santa hats, and other howliday paraphernalia as well.

Thanks to every pup that gave such an pawesome Dogster welcome to my pal Nelly.  :o)  

Did ya know that <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/348619">Scout</a> and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/463790">Tully</a> have flown da coop and are now in Hawaii??  FUN!  I meant to ask them if Santa wears a tank top and hula skirt over there... cos I think it'd get mighty hot in his furry suit, ya know?  Pop on over and say Aloha to those two cutie patooties.  :o)

Wishing y'all a wonderful start to the howlidays.

Her momma finally got her a page on Dogster, so let's make sure to reward her efforts with lots of pup pal requests, bones, pmails, rosettes, gifts or whatever Dogster love you can spare.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Pongo's Peeps, Izzy, & Maxwell...

My peeps are so sad.  I promise to keep <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345051">Pongo</a> safe and sound up here at the bridge.  We plan on eating lots of dead cow and drinking lots of dogaritas.  Pongo appears to be very happy and free of pain.  He told me that he was so <i>very</i> loved as he drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face...  a well deserved nap on the lush, green grass in the bright, warm sunshine.  I hear Seva's throwing him a welcome party... better go and start my beautification process.

Firstly, if you haven't stopped by <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345051">Pongo's page</a>, please do.  Do it.  Now!  Please?  :o)  His tail is waggin' and he's getting lots of meaty beefy carcasses.  

Secondly, wow... the gifts that are available at the <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/gifts">Dogster Gift Shop</a> are pretty cool.  May I suggest that a steak and a squeakie toy be added to the growing inventory of goodies?  

Thirdly, I will need more zealies.  (that means you, Daddy)

Lastly, I hope y'all are enjoying your Fridays... hug your doggies ferociously for all the love they give you in return.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

I have been horribly remiss in keeping up with my pupper pals... you know how it is, all the balls and squirrels I have to chase up here at the bridge.  My apologies.

I am EXTREMELY saddened to hear that sweet Pongo's been diagnosed with the evil "C".  :o(  My momma is sniffling and trying not to cry at work.  I think her heart is breaking all over again.

Please please PLEASE visit <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345051">Pongo's page</a> and show him some love.  We wish we could send Pongo some big big hugs... but the webernet is not yet that advanced, so you'll have to settle for some virtual head and rump scritchies instead.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ... is the fact that I recognize my pup pals by their butts (pics from the Craziest Tail category in the  3rd Annual World's Coolest Dog & Cat Show).

You know, I'm looking at the pics without really looking at the names as I'm voting through a page of doggies...  and this butt.  This magnificent tail stops me dead in my tracks.  Because I know this heinder.  It is a moment of zen.  I know who it belongs to without having to peek at the name.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

I know it's been a couple of months.  And I know that my peeps have... *needs*, but still...  I can't believe they invited another doggie... to sleep... in bed WITH them!  I am in utter shock and disbelief.

Those sluts.

Hrmph,
Daisy

Okay, in our defense... it wasn't our bed. We're just there to house-sit and dog-sit while Fran & Herb are out of town.  Ruby happens to be a very pleasant foot warmer.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

My peeps are doing better... thank you all for thinking of them.  :o)  

My momma is obsessed.  She looks on Petfinder weekly, if not daily and squeals when she sees all the sweet doggies.  Of course then she shows my daddy, who then says... no dogs until the new year.

I do feel bad for my successor though... she / he will be inheriting all my lovely photo shoot outfits.  I would feel extra bad if it were a "he"... I don't think pink flowers could make any manly dog look good.  But, it would make for interesting photos.  Actually, that would probably be considered animal cruelty.

I know my peeps can't wait to get another doggie, but it's gonna have big shoes to fill cos I was the best. doggie. evah.  It is important that they not compare the new doggie to me... cos I would so totally win.  Everytime.  ;o)

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

During my stint on earth, I was made to endure many costume changes.  I tolerated them pretty well, if I do say so myself.  The only thing I wouldn't put up with (for very long) was having "stuff" on my head.  Don't worry though... the stuff I was made to wear was mainly for photo ops.  Dog knows, I would never walk out of the house fully costumed.  I shudder at the thought.

Which brings me to my most recent observation.  My peeps don't have a dog right now.  They probably won't name my successor until early next year.  Yet... my momma is still buying dog stuff.  Who does she think she's going to arfin' outfit???  Yes, I *know* Target has cheap $1 items for doggies, but it doesn't mean my momma needs to be buying this stuff.  

Running free and nekkid up at the bridge,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

There's a whole lotta walkin' goin' on this weekend!  (And a lot of bum sniffin's too I would imagine)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/580969">Ben</a> and his lady are participating in the <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.mspca.org/site/TR?px=1245543&pg=personal&fr_id=1030">27th Annual MSPCA Walk for Animals</a> on Sunday, September the 9th.  They managed to reach their goal - and then some!  Go, Ben!

My pal <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/165170">Flecken</a> and the Weiner Dog Gang are also walking on Sunday the 9th - except they're flyin' all the way to CANADA to be part of the <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.ohsre.ca/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?&pid=198&s%20rcid=246&frtid=44">19th Annual IAMS Wiggle Waggle Walkathon</a>.  They have totally beat their goal - wiggle that money-maker, Fleckie!  

But!  That doesn't mean it's not too late to lend a paw and support their fundraising efforts.  You can still help 'em out if you want to.  :o)

Wishing both of you the best weather and the best bum sniffin's evah!  :o)

Yep, doggies... I'm blowing in the wind now.  It was a clear, cool Monday morning, but the sun was shining brightly.  The hummingbirds and butterflies were out in full force.  My peeps went up with Fran and Herb to their cabin in the mountains of Virginia and spread my ashes by my favorite stomping grounds. 

I know.
I was the best doggie ever.

Wish I could comfort the peeps, but one day, we'll be together again.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

Thank you <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/338423">Elvis</a> for my apple rosette!!!  Yummers!  :o)

I liked apples.  It was really the only type of fruit I would eat.  I'd start out with gusto - chomping away at the apple bits that were fed to me.  Eventually, though, I'd start nibbling only on the juicy flesh and leaving the apple skins all over the place.  That's when apple-feeding time was over.

I'm allowed to leave apple skins all over the place up here at the bridge.  Uh huh.  Yep.  It's true!

The rabbits come around and eat 'em.

Do you know my pal <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/580969">Ben</a>?  
Ben with the luscious, green grass on his background?  
Ben who was rescued and found his furever home?
Ben who was shy, but is now slowly coming out of his cute, furry shell?

Uh huh.  <i>That</i> Ben.

Their goal isn't huge.
Totally achievable.
In fact, they could probably *exceed* their goal...  with some help.  :o)

What do you say?  Can you lend a paw for a good cause?
I knew you could!  :o)

I slaughtered a whole cow for y'all today.  And where my paw slipped... I may have accidentally given some of y'all a shrimp instead of a steak.  I apologize for that - unless, you have a penchant for seafood, then it's all good.

Love you all,

Just cos I'm at the bridge, doesn't mean I don't log onto Dogster and check up on y'all from time to time.  :o)  

The ads on Dogster have been a source of amusement for me... I don't usually see the ads because Firefox is the browser of choice up here, but once in a while I accidentally click on the Internet Explorer icon and launch Dogster - ads and all.

Now, you may remember my foray into the world of creating your very own <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/273366/diary/Looking_down_from_above/319272">Manquarium</a>... but I am at a loss for words about <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/07/crazy-scary-ads-on-dogster.html">this particular ad</a>.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

What is the deal with these arfing <b>brussel sprouts</b> rosettes?!  Seriously.  What dog in their right mind would *want* to eat these nasties?  They smell like poot.  Bad poot.  Why eat food that smells like poot and then makes your poot smell even worse?  Eeeee!

I tell ya, there ain't no brussel sprouts in heaven.  Nope.  Not a one.  Well... maybe some over where the kittehs hang out and play.  I heard this whole brussel ball is a Catster's thang.  Yup.  It's true.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

We brought Daisy's remains home yesterday.  It was harder than we thought it would be... the finality of it.  We cried.  We reminisced.  We laughed.  But we mostly cried.

Some days it's easy, most other days it's so very hard.  There's a big empty space in my heart.

I will respond to each and every one of your wonderful notes in time...  thank you for your love and support.  I can't help but smile every time I re-read the messages you've all left.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just some random thoughts:

* Throughout this whole cancer ordeal, Daisy never once veered from her path of "good dog".  She never once pee'd or poo'd inside the house or the office - even though her belly was swollen with fluids, she would wait until she could go outside.

* Daisy was the office morale booster.  When things got hectic or stressful, people would come back and get their Daisy fix.  Even though her time with me at work was short, everyone got to know her, and she brought a little ray of sunshine into everyone's work day.

* Dr. Jeffreys, the oncologist, said that Daisy carved a place out of everyone's heart at the ER vet.  She was a special dog.  Dr. Jeffreys and her staff sent us a card with such sweet, caring words.

* Dr. Kreeger, our family vet, called Daisy a trooper.  She fought as much as her little body could.  Even the receptionist came out and gave her a kiss and neck scratchies.  Dr. Kreeger and his staff sent us a rose in memory of Daisy.

* Jason's parents brought over some daisies so we could plant a memorial garden for Daisy... that brought tears to our eyes.

* Daisy's diary entries?  Aside from the celebutante bashing - they were all her.  I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.  Daisy was just bursting with personality.

* Daisy wasn't a spoiled dog.  She never got fed table scraps or ate any human food (that is, until she got cancer... then everything was fair game).  If anything, *she* spoiled *us* by being such a good dog.

* Daisy totally has me programmed.  I hear keys jingling at the office and my head whips around looking for her, thinking it's the tags jangling on her collar.

* I can't go into a pet store or go down any pet aisle in a store...  it's just brings about a big emptiness in my heart right now.

Just some random thoughts.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters, 

It'd be so easy for me to hide away and let the grief take over, but gosh darn it... y'all make it difficult to be sad when your sweet words of love and support make us smile, make us cry happy tears, and help us realize that Daisy was loved not only by us, but by all of you as well.  It's like an unrelenting wave of brute force love!  :o)  The power of your words is helping us heal.

Thank you.  

Those two words... simply not enough to describe just how AMAZING the Dogster community has been in helping us through the loss of our Daisy.  This inadequacy does not stop us from trying though... so, again:  thank you!

I started this Dogster page for Daisy to record every moment of her life... knowing one day I'd have something to look back on.  I never expected her life to end so soon.  I never realized the number of lives she touched.  We are overwhelmed.

Simply amazing.

Keep writing, keep posting pics, and keep the love going around.  We love to read about your doggies.  Give them lots of hugs.  Let them know they're loved each and every day.  If I could reach through the webernet and love on your doggies, I would!  :o)

Love,
Nancy

P.S.  Thank you Dogster HQ for making Daisy Dog of the Day!  :o)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

Welp... I'm an angel.

Dr. Kreeger helped me go to sleep peacefully at 6:30 PM tonight.
So, no more bum pokin's.  Ever.  (They don't do bum pokies in heaven, do they?! Eeep!)

My peeps gave me extra kisses tonight.
And I gave it right back.
Even kissed momma right on the nose.

After I went to sleep, my peeps cried a lot and held me tight.
And I know they will miss me a lot.  I will miss them too.

My time was too short in this world, but I led a life full of love...
...and treats
...and kisses
...and hugs
...and toys.

We are all destined for something... when we find love along the way, it makes life all the more sweeter.  Me?  I was destined to bring licks of love and kisses of joy to my peeps.  I think I did a pretty darned good job.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

It was not a good day...  we weren't ready to take our Daisy in to see Dr. Kreeger... we thought we had weeks.  Not days.  Not today.

Daisy lost the strength in her legs today... her legs buckled under her while walking from the parking lot to the administration building.  I carried her in my arms, sobbing all the way.

And it was an afternoon of horror... we believe that Daisy experienced some sort of seizure this afternoon.

My poor girl was gnashing her teeth, frantically thrashing her sticks, and drooling excessively.  I felt so lost... I didn't know what to do for her.  So I grabbed her and held her... my biggest fear that I would lose her right there in my arms.  I wasn't ready for her to go, especially not like this.

She came out of it after 45-50 seconds, but she lay there... conscious, but unblinking.  Her pupils were constricted into tiny dots.  

I was one weepy mess.  Jason was called and he was on his way to get us. 

After about an hour, Daisy started responding normally again.  She was cognizant of us and her surroundings.  Our Daisy was back... for a bit.  With a heavy heart, we decided that it was time to let Daisy go while she still remained mentally and physically "our Daisy".

So we set our Daisy free.  We know we'll see her again one day.

Nancy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

Daisy has had more than her share of vet visits for her short lifetime...
We brought Daisy in to see Dr. Jeffreys today.
Her belly was swollen - filled with fluid.

They ran blood work - her counts are up, but her chemistry showed other abnormalities...  the main issue being protein loss.  

They also did an ultrasound.  They took a sample of the fluid on which to run pathology.

We met with Dr. Jeffreys and she told us they could give her care for the short term, but in the long run there wasn't anything else they could do for her.

She gave us the option of keeping her at the ER for a couple of days, letting them drain the fluid, knowing it would invariably come back again - or - taking Daisy home with us and spending as much time as we could with her.

We took Daisy home.
She's resting comfortably and doesn't seem to be in any pain.
Her poor little paws are so cold and she's wrapped up under a fleece blanket.

Our hearts are breaking and tears are running down my face as I write this.
But I wanted you all to know how much your love and support has helped us through these last few weeks.  We may not be on Dogster the next couple of days, but we wanted to let you know what was going on.

Grab your dog and give 'em a big, big hug and don't ever let go.  And then give 'em another hug from us.  Let them know they are loved.  

Love,
Nancy & Jason

Dear Puppy,

I'm getting <i>really</i> good at not swallowing my pills.  Momma's not the best at giving me pills.  The other morning, I spit it out three times before she managed to make me swallow them.  Daddy on the other hand is more persistent and won't let me go until I've swallowed it the first time.

Now if only I can figure a way out so I can avoid bum pokin's! 
I'm working on it...

Dear Harry,

It was daddy's idea!  *fume*

He said I needed to stay home today to catch up on my sleep.  
Sleep schmeep...  I don't need no steenkin' sleep!

*yawn*

Okay, maybe I do.

But... momma tells me that everyone's been asking about me!
They're coming by the cubicle to get their Daisy fix.
And momma has to turn them away...  so sad.

No worries though... after a relaxing weekend, I shall be back to the office on Monday!

As <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345051">the ever-so-wise Pongo</a> pointed out to me, my second chemo treatment isn't <i>cancelled</i> - just <i>postponed</i>.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies

Counts are up, but not great.  :o(  It's slow going.  My white blood cell counts are up to 400 now...  but not enough for me to start on my second dose of chemotherapy.  Dr. Jeffreys thinks it may be delayed a week.

I'm going to see her again in two weeks to do another count to make sure my immune system is back up before she will resume my chemo.  Gah.

I hate waiting.

Dear Puppy,

As long as my temperature is within the normal range, I only get checked twice a day.  If my temperature rises (as it had on the weekend), then I am poked an excessive amount of times.  *sigh*

Lemme tell ya... it's motivation to get better.

I'm headed to the vet again today to get my blood work done - we're hoping for lots and lots of white blood cell counts.  Keep your paws crossed!  :o)

Dear Pete,

Not really "human food", but my peeps popped me some Woofy-pop pupcorn tonight.  Pepperoni flavored.

Do not want.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

I'm sprung!!!  My peeps came and got me outta the doggie ER this afternoon.  Don't worry, it was with Dr. Jeffreys' full cooperation.  :o)

She called this morning and told my peeps that I could go home around 4:00 pm.  However, later on that morning, around 12:30 pm - Dr. Jeffreys called again and said that if my peeps wanted to pick me up earlier they could.

Evidently I convinced them that I was more than ready and healthy enough to go home since I chewed through and destroyed not one, not two, but THREE of the IV lines.  

Tee hee!  Just being bratty to get my way.
Well, it worked.  My peeps came and got me at 2:00 pm.  :o)

My white blood cell counts (<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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophil_granulocyte">the neutrophils</a>) are still very low, but they are moving on up and Dr. Jeffreys thinks they will continue to improve.  My platelets, however, are lower - but she said that is common and that the platelets take longer to get hit by the chemotherapy.

My peeps have been charged with two jobs:

1)  Continue to give me oral antibiotics for the next 10 days.
2)  Take my temperature twice a day...  yes, in the bum.

I protest to #2!!!  But hey, if it gets me outta the ER and back home where I can sleep contentedly and eat hamburger, peanut butter, and cheese - I guess the pros outweigh the cons.

I'm scheduled to go see Dr. Jeffreys again next Wednesday for some more blood work.  I am aiming for big leaping white blood cell counts by then.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogster HQ,

A bit belated, but I love the cool new features!!!  Being able to see recent activity of pals and corral'd pals is PAWSOME!!

But wow, what's with the recent tweaks and upgrades around here???  I hardly recognize this place anymore... and I've only been gone to the ER for three days.  ;o)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/11">The Dogster Dog</a> got his own page, started giving out watermelon slices and BLUE stars.  How cool is that?  

And not only is the pawmail and online pup pal notifier on the home page, now the "stalk your pals' pages" feature is up front, as well as a listing of recent rosettes and stars.  WOwiee!!

OMG, and one more cool thing... you can now directly re-gift (not in the bad way) your pal directly from your rosette.  That probably doesn't describe it every well, but I love that feature anyway.  :o)

Thanks, HQ!  Make sure you get some play time in between all your hard work.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

I'm sick.
And I'm cranky.
I'm tired too!
I'm allowed to throw a tantrum, aren't I?

~*lays down on the ground*~
~*kicks legs up*~
~*starts giving off a gawd-awful howl*~

Okay, so I didn't really do that.
But I am feeling a wee bit cranky.  

Tonight, my peeps visited me at the ER and brought me a whole whopper!  All mine!  I didn't have to share it with the kitteh!  Every delicious flame-broiled inch of meatses... mine.

BUT...
... the schnibble couldn't be too big
... it had to be the perfect size to fit inside my dainty mouth
... daddy held it too high, I wouldn't it eat
... momma held it just right
... many times I shunned daddy's meat offerings for momma's
... momma held the meats in her palm
... I didn't want to eat it out of daddy's palm
... he had to hold it between the tips of his fingers

That's right, minions!
Feed the princess.

After this whole ordeal, the whopper was finally in my bellay.
And then I belched... a couple of times.  And then some.

I am feeling better.  Temperature is back to normal.  Blood tests tomorrow.  
I wanna go home.
NOW.

Please?

*sigh*

We spoke to the ICU technician this morning and Daisy did well overnight.  The technician was able to get her to eat a little bit last night, and this morning, as of 6:00 AM - her temperature is back in the normal range again - 101.6!!  Yeah!!  :o)

We're going to see her later again tonight, but if we get any updates between now and then, we'll keep you all posted.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Poor girl, sorry you're feelin' pookie.  How are you doing?  Behaving yourself at the ER?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

ArrRrrRooOooo!!!  I wanna go home!!!  :o(  

Just call me Miss-Behavin'...  the tech said that I was tipping the food bowl over, up-ending the contents, and then burying the bowl. 

My peeps were quite surprised to hear that since I am a *perfect* angel at home.  I am a dainty girl.  I've never tossed a bowl of food in my life!  Seriously.  I could chip my manicure.  The tech must be imagining things.

I'm stuck in ICU at the moment, got two types of broad spectrum antibiotic IVs going through me right now.  This will hopefully fight off the infection I have and cut down the fever.  

These next few days are critical for me to fight off this infection and to bring up my immunity.

They'll retest my blood on Friday once the antibiotics have had a couple of days to get around in my system and do their job. 

When my peeps came to see me this evening, my fever was down from 105.2 to 103.5 - this is still high considering that a normal, healthy dog's temperature is supposed to be 100 to 102.5.

They brought me treats of all kinds, laid them out for me to choose, but I shunned the treats.  I wanted to go home instead.  :o(

Tomorrow, I overheard them saying that they're going to bring me a charbroiled hamburger...  they know me, holding out for the good stuff.

Keep your paws crossed for me, pals!!!  I will do my best to fight through this setback.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

We called the vet this morning, and her assistant, Rose, suggested we bring Daisy into the Winston office to get her blood-work done.  

After they did the blood-work, they took her vitals and noted that she had a fever of  this morning and they suggested that she be put on two types of IV antibiotics.  

We took her to the Greensboro emergency vet since this is where our oncologist is located.  

Her white blood cell count was so low, it wouldn't even register on the the Winston office's machine, so they did another run at the Greensboro office.  The final tally:  500, the normal range being 5000.
 
We think they will keep her overnight, but the oncologist will call and let us know.  Other than being lethargic and having a fever, she seems to be okay... her tail's wagging.

We'll keep you updated.

Love,
Daisy's Peeps]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

Thank you for all your continued prayers and words of encouragement and support...  we are so blessed that Daisy has so many pals to help her through this.  :o)

Daisy started chemo last Wednesday (it seems like forever and an age ago), she was feeling pretty lackluster up until Sunday.  By Monday and Tuesday, she was perking up and wanted to tug my arm off to run and chase the birds and the squirrels.  It was a good day for her.

But I guess there are good days and bad days.  Today was a bad one.  

Three pills for three weeks. 

The vet warned us that the side-effects could take up to a week to manifest itself.  After seeing how she was feeling better the last couple of days, it broke my heart to see her shaking and scared again... as if unsure of what's going on inside her own body.  

I have been blessed with a super boss (Joy) & big boss (Mike - the AVP) who are letting me bring Daisy into work with me every day.  It's times like these that I am relieved to have her right beside me.

Please send pawsitive thoughts and energies Daisy's way... I know she will get through this.

Love,
Daisy's Peeps]]></content:encoded>

Tee hee!  I heard you had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction this morning... what happened?

Sincerely,

Dear Puppy,

I walked out of the house this morning... utterly. butt. nekkid.

Seriously!

Momma was getting ready for work, and by the time we walked out the door and were out on the road, she looked back and me and noticed I didn't have my collar on.  

So we drove back, got my collar, and got back on the road again.

I know I don't have <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/296339/diary/Q_is_for_cute/335778">a natural tuxedo like Rajah Q.</a>, but I'm perfectly acceptable in my nekkid attire.  I like being nekkid.  I don't see what the big deal is.

Dear Maggs,

Tee hee!  I wish I could give you a definite answer, but I can only assume he tastes like chicken... with a hint of cumin.  ;o)

Joking aside, the risk of kitty head fittings has been instrumental in getting me to eat my food.  :o)   Whenever I chomp at him, he just turns right around and rubs his face against my leg.  Gah!  Cat cooties!

Whacha have for dinner tonight?  More beefs?  More cheeses?  More peanut butters??  It sounds like the Atkins diet for doggies!

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

--

Dear Pete,

I divvied up my half pound Cook-Out cheese burger between lunch and dinner.  When I got my dose of prednisone, it was then time for a big ol' gob of peanut butter to wash the pills down.  OMD!  My poor little tongue was tired from lapping up all the peanutty buttery goodness.  Such a hard life, I know.  :o)

Dear Norm,

I've got my peeps with me, my bellay is full, and I'm rockin' the sleepy time.  

I'm up to 19.4 lbs!!!  WahoO!  That's a lot for just two weeks of straight burger-cheese-peanut butter feedings.  I did get almost a whole ice cream cone to myself, but I totally puked it up cos my peeps forgot that anything cold upsets my stomach.  Still... it was good going down. 

My fur is growing back - I've got some pale yellow patches where they had shaved me for testing.  My peeps have been giving me extra scritches there cos it's been itchies.  Ahhhh... scritchies for the itchies feels good.

My breathing is still labored, but it doesn't diminish my need to play... I just don't play for extended periods of time like I used to.

Thank you to all my pup pals and their peeps. In addition to what the meds have done for me, all your love and support has supplied the rest of the healing... for both me and my peeps.

Hope y'all enjoy your weekend!

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

About three hours after the chemo kicked in, our poor little Daisy started to feel the effects of the stuff.  Her eyes were glassed over, and she looked really dazed.  She was pretty much super-glued to her daddy's side all night.  We felt horrible giving her the chemo since she had *just* started feeling better.

BUT, good news!  This morning, she was pretty much back to herself again.  :o)  She's a remarkable girl.  For all your prayers and words of support, encouragement, and kindness... we thank you.  She's feeling better because of all the pawsitive thoughts you're sending her way.

Love,
Daisy's Peeps]]></content:encoded>

Dear Puppy,

Eh.  As well as could be expected considering the three large-ish chemo pills I had to swallow.  Daddy even had to put on latex gloves in order to give them to me.  Scary!  It was all good though... I got to lick peanut butter off his finger afterwards to get the nasty taste outta my mouth.

My peeps hope the prednisone kicks in soon - it's supposed to stimulate my appetite - and lord knows I need all the help I can get in order to get some meats on my bones.

Tomorrow is another work day for me, so early to bed I go...  I must try and get all the rest possible in order to perform <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/273366/diary/Your_daily_dose_of_doggie_wisdom/334774">the office duties assigned to me</a>.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

After a long day, our baby girl is home with us.  The oncologist was super nice and answered all our questions patiently and explained everything to us in plain ol' english.

They kept Daisy at the pet hospital during the day to draw some more blood work for a CBC (complete blood count), do an ultrasound on her abdomen, and checked out her pee.  They are using this as a baseline to compare against in nine weeks.

The oncologist, Dr. Jeffreys, recommended a combination of chemotherapy (lomustine) and prednisone.  We are starting her on this protocol tomorrow.  Then we'll have another chemo appointment in three weeks.  After the second treatment, they will redo the ultrasound and xrays again to see if there is any improvement.  We'll also do another CBC in the next 10 days.

Dr. Jeffreys said that the side-effects of the chemo are rare... but may include vomiting or diarrhea.  The main risk of this chemo, however, is a lowered resistance to infection.  Her immune system will be all out of whack, which may cause her to catch an infectious disease.  Daisy may become the first dog in a bubble.  :o)

A quarter-pound hamburger patty, a 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of peanut butter later, our girl is laying in her bed, belly protruding from her lip-smackin'licous dinner, and resting as comfortably as possible.

Thank you all so much for your pawsitive thoughts and prayers!  Coming on Dogster and reading all your wonderful comments is the bright spot in our otherwise gray day.  We always make sure to pass the messages on to Daisy.  :o)

Love,
Daisy's Peeps]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

God.  Even the name sounds evil and deadly.

We got the test results at the end of the day... it's definitely cancer.  Histiocytic sarcoma is a highly aggressive form of cancer and tends not to respond well to chemotherapy.  

We are meeting with the oncologist tomorrow for treatment options.  At least we know now.  We can move ahead and make her better as best we can.

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes.  It means the world to us that so many of you care so much for our little Daisy.  :o)

Dear Harry,

I am the office licker and butt sniffer.  If I weren't a dog, I'd get slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit.  ;o)

I'm getting the hang of this 'work' thing.  Everyone comes by my momma's cubicle for their dose of lickin's and butt sniffin's.  At the end of the day, I am *so* tired from having to stay awake *all* day to perform my work duties.

Daddy bought me a charbroiled hamburger.  Momma made me some ground chuck with shredded cheddar on top.  

Now to make some sleepy-time.

The weekend is almost over.  I hope your peeps get good news from the vet tomorrow or Tuesday.  We're keeping our paws crossed for ya!  :o)

Sincerely,

Dear Puppy,

Thanks a bunch!  Every pup pal on Dogster has been *super* encouraging and supportive during this time.  I don't know what we would've done without your caring words.

We're praying for good news too... or at least *some* news so we can move forward with the treatment - whatever it may be.

My poops are getting more solid.  By 'more solid', I mean, 'not liquidy'.  And by 'not liquidy', I mean 'smooshy'.  Ick.  Momma had to wipe my bum with not two, not three, not four... but FIVE baby wipes to get my butt clean.  Oh, the humiliation.

I slept a lot this weekend, cuddled with my peeps (you know I'm sick when I cuddle with my peeps cos I'm usually a pretty independent doggie), and ate lots of beef and peanut butter.  Mmmm...!  Good stuff.  *slurp*

The fur on my sticks are starting to grow back - I've got a little bit of yellow fuzz showing.  Oh!  And did I mention - on my trip to the vet on Friday, they shaved a bit of fur off of my side.  *sigh* I didn't have much fur to begin with, and now I'm nekkid in spots.  How embarrassing!

I will keep all y'all updated as soon as we hear anything.

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Dear Pete,

They took more blood from me.  
They took more xrays.  
They did an ultrasound.
They inserted a needle <i>into</i> my chest.  

*faint*

They found nodules on my lungs.  Eeeee!  That would explain why I am breathing in a very labored manner.

But no concrete diagnosis yet.  This vet is leaning towards cancer.  It's going to be a long weekend of waiting for Monday to come around.

Thanks for your continued support and prayers...  it means the world to me and my peeps.  :o)  

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Dear Norm,

I went into work with my momma!  :o)  My daddy helped re-arrange some stuff in my momma's work space and made me an area of my very own.  

I got ready for work just like momma.  I got to put on my new red bandanna - it's got a nifty gold star.  We drove to the university and before we got into the administration building where my momma works, I smeared a little bit of Daisy on their pristine and finely manicured lawn.  Yeah.  My tummy's been a bit pookie lately and uh, my poops a little runny.

Luckily we went in earlier than normal so not a lot of people were around.  My momma scooped up as much as she could with the doggie doody bag, but still... how much can ya scoop when it's liquefied like that?  Ick.  Poor momma.

I am happy to report that the day passed without further squishy, wet poopy incidents.  :o)  We took two pee breaks and walks around the Quad during the day.

So I spent the day greeting my adoring public - got lots of pets, gave lots of licks, all in all a very busy day.  I can tell why momma is tuckered out when she comes home from work.  Work is draining!  Now I know what it feels like firsthand.

I slept as much as I could, but my poor puppy dog eyes can barely stay open... I need *at least* 14 hours of unadulterated, non-interrupted sleep.  

Time to eatses, then it's time to sleepses.  Tomorrow is another big day.  I'm headed to Greensboro with my daddy to see the other internal specialist for more testing.  Keep your paws crossed for me, doggies!!  

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Heard you had an exciting day today!  Tell me all about it!  :o)

Warm regards,

Dear Harry,

Well, first of all, my daddy stayed home with me today!

Then we went to momma's workplace and met her co-workers, her boss, and her big boss - the AVP!  Momma's boss got me a get well gift bag... well, actually, it was from her dogs Martha and Murphy - I got a big ol' bag of chicken jerky treats, a squeakie frog, and a rope tug!  

Momma's boss is super cool - totally a dog person.  So is the big boss!  They said that if momma needs to take care of me, I can come in to work with her any time!  Or she can work from home.  Whatever it takes for me to get better.  They are super duper nice.  I think they just guaranteed lifetime employee loyalty from my momma.  :o)

We had lunch together, and I got to partake in the meastses from momma's sub - turkey and ham... yummers!  I was hoping for a bite of daddy's meatball sub, but all I got were bits of Doritos.  Hrmph!

I headed home with daddy and settled in for a big nap.  I'm really good at napping... a champion napper, if you will.  We got a call from Dr. Bassett (as in hound - seriously, that's his name) around 6:00 telling us that he got the results in from <b>my bone marrow test showed no abnormalities</b>.  WOO HOO!!!!!!!!  This does not rule out lymphoma entirely, but it puts <i>way</i> down on the list.  YEAH!

We are still waiting on the lymph node aspirate results to rule out lymphoma completely.  The results should be back by Monday.  Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  :o)

We will be doing a lot more types of OTHER testing to find out what's wrong.  My next appointment is on Friday - I'm going to travel all the way to Greensboro (45 minutes).  Dr. Bassett is out of the office the rest of this week, but he recommended we see Dr. Parnell.

Hope every pup has a safe and happy 4th of July!  :o)

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Dear Puppy,

I am feeling pretty darn good.  :o)  I am a little bruised up from where they stuck me with the IV and sore from where they sucked up some of my bone marrow, but other than that, I am my usual chipper self.  I am just so happy to be home with my peeps.

Lemme tell ya, my peeps are spoiling me - fresh cooked chicken breast hand fed to me morning, noon, and night...  picked up to go up and down the stairs... picked up to go up and down on the bed... picked up to go up and down on the sofa (you get the picture).  It's pretty pawesome.

I want to thank all my pup pals for their thoughtful and encouraging words.  I will do my best to live up to your expectations and bully my way through this disease!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

You are all just the sweetest, most caring bunch evah!  Your words have given us comfort and hope during these last couple of days.

Daisy is home now and resting.  She had a bone marrow test which will take a couple of days to determine the type and level of severity her cancer.

Poor girl got shaved again - this time on the front of her chest for the bone marrow test.  At least all the fur on her hindquarters is intact.

Our bank account is a little smaller, but our hearts are brimming over with joy now that our baby's home with us.  She's got one of daddy's old t-shirts covering her while she's dozing on her pillow.  

We will keep you all updated as we find out the results from her tests.  Thank you all so much for your support and concern.  It means the world to us!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

Thank you all for your encouraging words and rosettes... :o)  Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to us.

We went to visit Daisy today at the emergency vet - she had a big ol' blue lampshade on her head to keep her from picking at her IV drip.  We were so happy to see her and she was so happy to see us... she peed on the floor.  Twice.  

We took her out and she peed the longest pee ever.  And then she did it again.  And then again!  Must've been all the IV fluids going through her system.

After the huge flush, she was ready to nosh on some chicken jerky.  In fact, she almost ate the whole bag.  :o)

There were two areas on both her front legs that were shaven clean - one had the IV in it.  As well, there was a shaven area by the left side of her jaw so they could draw a sample from her lymph node.

We met with the attending vet briefly - he confirmed that the blood tests came back as positive for lymphoma.  We'll get more information and our next course of action tomorrow when we meet with the specialist.

We miss our baby girl so much!  It's surreal not having her flopped out beside us or nudging us with a squeaky toy.  The emergency vet was hopeful that she would be home with us by Monday night.  We'll keep you all updated.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogsters,

After spending the day in an absolute daze, it is with a heavy heart that I write this diary entry.  The vet says that Daisy may have cancer, but more blood work and xrays will need to be done.  

We brought Daisy in to see the vet today - she hadn't been eating well, and just last night and this morning, her breathing was fast and noticeably labored. The absolute tell-all sign that she wasn't feeling well was her lack of interest in playing.

Her xrays weren't clear - the vet said that usually fat is needed to provide contrast to see whatever it is that they're looking for, and evidently she doesn't have enough fat, so the pictures were a little fuzzy. Her red and white blood cell counts were low, and the vet is sending the samples to an off-site lab for a more complete blood count.

They are keeping her overnight to monitor her and to give her IVs. The vet is taking a fine needle aspirate from her lymph nodes and sending that information off to a lab as well. We will hopefully know something by tonight or Sunday.

A biopsy on her bone marrow will also be performed on Monday and that's when we'll meet with the internal specialist who will review the results and provide further direction on what our next steps are. 

Please keep sweet Daisy in your thoughts and prayers...  we will update you as soon as we know more.

Dear Pete,

I like the flag rosettes - very cool.  However, it is very unfair to the Canadians that their flag isn't animated and doesn't wave and flutter like the American one.  Hrmph!

The watermelon rosette looks yummy... but it's kinda small, doncha think?  I mean, lemme have a big honkin' wedge of the good stuff!  :o)

I think my favorite rosettes to-date are (in order from most favorite):

1.  Flower
2.  Snowflake
3.  Butterfly
4.  Snowman

I can't wait to see what Dogster HQ comes up with next!

How's the competitive eating coming along?  Have you gained any weight?  Has the cat gotten chomp'd?

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

Dear Pete,

The forced feedings continue...  and the cat got another healthy dose of attempted head-fittings.  I don't think I've gained any weight though.  In fact, I'm looking rather gaunt in these pics my peeps took.  Don't worry, it's just a trick of the camera - the picture upside down, up behind the back of the car seat...  but, <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/06/bobblehead.html">holy shnozzles, Batman!  Look at my snout!</a>  It sure is pointy.

But at least I am eating more than I would normally (which is a handful of kibble here and there).  Don't tell my peeps, but I am really holding out for the good stuff... chicken jerky.  I could snarf a whole bag of that stuff down.  Daddy's been giving me treats in the morning, and if I eat a satisfactory amount of dinner, then I get treats afterwards too.  Anything to fatten me up...

Dear Harry,

*I* got to see a movie!  In fact, I got to see TWO movies!  :o)  We went to the Drive-In theatre in Mount Airy... they were showing a <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/06/evan-almighty-knocked-up.html">double feature of Evan Almighty and Knocked Up</a>.  We love Steve Carrell!!!

But the movie wasn't the most entertaining thing there...  <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/06/rednecks-drive-in.html">THIS was</a>.  Uh huh.  I couldn't make it up if I tried.  And yes.  It's a couch.  And a loveseat.  

Yep.  Fun stuff.  :o)

Dear Pete,

No head chompings, but he almost got some butt chompin's...  momma was doing the "roll the kibble across the kitchen floor" thing to get me interested in eating.  Every once in a while, a kibble would land near the kitty cat and I'd chomp down on it (the kibble, not the cat) hard and fast.  Kitty got pissed that he never got very much kibble, so he scurried off.

Later on that evening...  (and I am ashamed to admit this) he gave me a tongue bath.  ME.  Tongued.  By.  A.  Cat.  Ewwwwwwwww!  

I guess it's better than a regular bath.

But still.
Damn cat.

*sigh*

Dear Puppy,

I got to chase a wabbit!  A real, live bunny rabbit.  It was 1:30 AM, we were headed home... just as we pulled into our driveway, we saw it.

The rabbit.

My momma let me out of the car, and I gave chase!  I ruuuffffffff'd and barrrrrrrrk'd at it as I ran after it.  Oh my dog... that was FUN!  Then I came back around and sniffed all over the ground.  

Now I know when the bunnies are prowling about.  I will be sure to request a bathroom break at this time.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

The investigation continues...  using my exceptional hax0r skillz, I deduced the missing doggie by checking my rosette history log and the number 318181 kept coming up blank...  well!  With that info, I went on Google and did a search on "dogster" and "318181".

Oh nooooooooooo!  

The missing doggie pal that escaped my corrall is my favorite red heeler:  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/318181">Maggie Mae</a> - she's GONE!  :o(  "GONE" as in GONE gone from Dogster!!  Waaaaaaaaaaah!

Anyone know what happened?  Is she okay?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

It was strange.  I looked at the doggies I've corralled so far, and one seems to have wandered off and disappeared.  I only noticed because all my doggies had shifted one over, and one up.  

*sigh*

The darndest thing is... I don't know which one of my favorite'd doggie pals is gone.  Garrr!  

It's gonna bother me until I figure it out.

You're all skin and bones!!!  How come you're not eating??  I'll be more than happy to, uh... help you eat your food.

Dear Meaty,

I *do* eat.  Just not a lot.

I am Kate Moss of the doggie world.  Except I am way hotter and don't do drugs.

Okay, so I'm just not interested in food.  There are simply more interesting things like playing with squeakie toys, chasing squirrels and birds, and sleeping.

But my daddy has found my weakness...
the presence of that... *spitooey*  CAT!

Daddy places the cat near my food and I chomp away.

One time, daddy put the cat right beside my food dish.  The cat was <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/273366/diary/Your_daily_dose_of_doggie_wisdom/301845">*this* close to a head-fitting</a>.

Does this constitute animal abuse?  Forced feedings and forced head-fittings?  I think we should call PETA on daddy.

Damn that daddy-man for making me eat.

*burp*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I was wondering, sweet cheeks... Since you were abandoned in front of the library, do you like to read? What's your favorite book? Mine's "A Really Super Book About Squirrels" by Roumieu and Taylor. I read it and then I ate it. FABulous literature. I highly recommend reading or eating it.

Yours, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/404546">King Finlay- Birthday Boy</a>

Your Majesty,

My favorite book is "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London - the story of a dog named Buck who discovers and embraces his inner wolf.

He's hawt.  Like Matt Damon.  Mmm... I'd like to embrace <i>his</i> inner wolf.

Dear Pete,

I got plenty of sleep, lemme tell ya!  :o)  It was pretty nice cos I was left home alone while my peeps went to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Ocean's 13.

So my peeps tell me that it's a good thing Jessica Alba is hawt... cos she sure can't act worth a damn.  As corny as the dialogue was though, the acting on everyone else's part - working with what they were given - did a decent job.  Oh and Morpheus (from the Matrix)?  He voices the Silver Surfer.  I didn't know that!  Cool.

My peeps enjoyed Ocean's 13 more than Ocean's 12... they only did the annoying shaky cam thing twice throughout the movie.  Oooh, and Matt Damon with that <i>nose</i>... all kinds of hotness.  Hee hee!

And now for a nap... mmmm... Matt Damon.  Zzzz...  *drool*

Ut oh...  I smell redneck on you.  What happened??

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

It was an invasion of redneck proportions...  little redneck, big redneck, and mama redneck...  it was a sight to behold.  

In actuality, it was dreaded family get-together... a combination of Father's Day and other family birthdays that happen to occur in June.  Luckily this only happens two other times out of the year - Thanksgiving and Christmas (but we're not normally here for Christmas).

And just to be clear... my momma and I married into this.  Ahhh, the things we do for love.  Daddy... you owe us big time. 

So I got mauled by little redneck, fed table scraps by big redneck, and got made fun of by mama redneck - she said I was too skinny.  I think she was too fat, but did I actually voice that comment?  No, I kept my opinions to myself.  Had she offered to share the porkchop she was graspin' in her hands, I may have forgiven her... but alas, she did not offer a bite.  Not even a nibble.  

Then on top of all that...  I got a bath.  Gaaaarrr!!!  At least it got all the redneck stench offa me.  Now I smell like mangoes.  Thanks... again, daddy.

What a way to end the weekend.  At least I've got five months to prepare myself before the next redneck gathering.  I am *so* not looking forward to it.

Did you like the kisses I bestowed on your face?
Or the squeakie toys I left for you in the recycling bin?
Were you pleased with how I narded you this morning?
Or when I narded you when you came home the other evening?
How about when I barked at the man in brown delivering boxes to our door?
Do I make you proud of the way I protect the house while you're gone?
How about the way I prance when we're taking our morning walk?
Do you like the time we spend together?
I do!  I really, really do!  
You make me really wanna zig-a-zig-ahh!
I'm so happy you're my daddy!

Dear Pete,

I have no idea why I've been bath-less for almost a month now!  I'm stinkin' like a good dog should.  It's so pawesome!  

I was supposed to get a bath tonight (cos I'm due for Frontline is this weekend), but my peeps went out for dinner and forgot all about my bath.  They are getting old and forgetful, I guess.

It's unusual for them to go out mid-week for dinner, but it was a celebratory dinner for my daddy - he got a new job (same company).  Not sure how much he's gonna make, but I think it converts into a LOT of doggie biscuits.  :o)

So congrats, daddy!  :o)  You deserve it.  Now gimme a biscuit.

Dear Harry,

I have been vindicated!!!

My daddy says that I can chomp the cat's head because he swats his tail in my face... ON PURPOSE!

YES!

C'mere kitty, kitty!!  We need to size your head.  With my mouth!

[Daddy interrupts:  "I said I understood why you would <i>want</i> to chomp his head, <i>not</i> that you are <i>allowed</i> to chomp his head."]

Oh.  Well, you're not fun.   :P

Woo-ee!!  It is almost summertime!  :o)  I can't wait to run around in the sunshine (unlike my human counterpart, who won't see much light during her incarceration).  Do you have any plans for the summer?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

Dear Puppy,

No plans for the summer except taking it easy... oh wait!  That's what I do year-round!  Ummm...  lessee.  I plan to spend most of my days absorbing the heat through every pore of my body in the sauna they call the sunroom.  

I *love* it in there...  I will bake myself in that room (which has no a/c) and then come out to lay on the kitchen tile to cool off a bit before returning to the sauna.  Heat makes for good sleepin's.  :o)  And I'm really good at sleepin's.

Look at those bags under your sad doggie eyes... you look like you can barely keep your head up.  What'd your peeps do to you?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

Dear Norm,

It was a weekend of three's...  my peeps went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Spiderman 3 (and even though Kirsten Dunst's grill was *way* scarier than Venom's) - Spiderman won out in the battle of less-sucky-movie.

Then they played (more than) three rounds of Wii Tennis - the obscenities they shouted and screamed at the CPU Miis kept me up and I had to actually go into the next room to get some peace and quiet.

And my pal Pongo?  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345051/diary/Aint_life_grand/321634">He pooped three times</a> to kick off my weekend Dogster diary readings.  Awesome.

I get freaked out every time my humans hug or kiss.  Ewww!  Blech!  Spitooey!  How about a good butt sniffing or a lick in the ear instead?  Do your peeps ever do anything that creep you out?  

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

I've come to a realization that my momma is a "Kevin".

Who is this "Kevin" I speak of?  Well, my momma's best friend, Wendy, used to date this guy Kevin.  Kevin was smitten with Wendy.  In fact, he was so smitten... he would just stare at her all the time.  Stare in awe of her awesomeness.  Uh huh.  Yeah.  She dumped him eventually (but that's another story).

My momma has become <i>that guy</i>, the person who stares at their loved ones.

I know I'm cute and all that...  but seriously.  It's kinda creepy.  In a sweet way.  But still.

Dear Pete,

I love the fact that everything that is stinky, gets stinkier in the heat!  Especially my daddy!  He tastes absolutely delectable when he comes home from work.  He drives in a beat up truck that does not have any A/C and coupled with the heat of summertime, he gets a good tongue lashing when he walks in the door.  I can lick his face for hours after work!  :o)  Mmmmm!  Tastee!

The best part about going for walks is receiving attention from the adoring masses.  They see me and immediately comment on how beauuuutiful I am.  :o)  Hee!

Dear Pete,

None of the above, I'm afraid...  I'm actually amused / appalled for all you Internet Explorer users.  You see, I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.  I have adblock and flashblock installed, so I don't normally see any of the <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/06/ads-on-dogster.html">the, uh, 'colorful' ads Dogster has</a> on their site.  But in checking to see the format of my page, I opened up Internet Explorer and was shocked...  SHOCKED by the 'Ads by Glam' that Dogster allows on the site.  

But, hey... but I totally understand - it costs money to run a site like this, and ads are a necessary part of it.  So it's cool.  But what I don't understand is that the ads don't much relate to dogs, Dogster, or pets in any way (with the exception of Beneful, but ... I won't go there).

But, ranting aside, one particular ad caught my eye.  The ability to make your own ManQuarium.  Yes, doggies.  It's true.  I could not make it up if I tried.  Check 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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/06/closer-look.html">the detailed screenshots here</a>.

So thank you, Dogster HQ, for now I have a <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-manquarium.html">ManQuarium of my very own</a>.   ;o)  

Thank dog for Firefox.

Daisy

P.S.  Can I dispose of him in the same manner as a goldfish?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dearest Dogsterers,

Since I've been tagged again, here are a few more facts about me:

1.  I have a food gauge built right into my body...  once I've eaten enough, <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/03/about-to-splode.html">my middle swells up</a> and it's time to stop the chompings.

2.  I love to have the sides of my hind legs rubbed...  it makes me stretch my sticks out alllllllll the way until they can't go any further.  Ahhhhh!

3.  I've been called a Dingo before.  Yeah.  Don't ask.

4.  I love to lay in the sun.  Even if there is just a little strip of sunlight peeking in through the blinds, I will try and squeeze myself into that spot of light.

5.  I'm a very dainty girl.  I don't like food touching my paws or holding onto bones when I'm chomping the meat offa them.  

6.  I'm toy motivated, not treat motivated.  If you're going to train me... better have a squeakie in hand.

7.  The smellier the treat, the more I love it.  Right now we've got some lamb jerky treats that make my daddy gag.  Yum!

Every time I see you, it seems like your sticks have grown an inch taller!  Are you on some miracle growth hormone???

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

Dear Puppy,

Herb says my sticks look longer every time he sees me too!  I don't think my sticks have grown... if they have, at this rate, I'll be 10 feet tall pretty soon!!!  That would be pretty cool.

I have been eating better - whenever the cat is around, I am in competitive eating mode.  <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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeru_Kobayashi">Takeru Kobayashi</a> has nuttin' on me!  Strangely though - no matter how much I eat, I can't seem to gain any weight.  

Now if I could only bottle this magic, I am sure I would be rich!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

How do you determine your poopy spot?  I like an area of freshly mowed grass... oohh, that's good poopy.

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

--

Dear Pete,

I am very particular about pooping.  I don't like pooping in open areas.  I usually like to do my doody near the edge of the property or hidden behind a tree (don't look at me - I'm pooping!).  Even when I was up at the cabin - I wouldn't poop right in the middle of the open space...  rather, I would mosey on over down to the edge of the property and execute my download there.  Ruby, on the other hand, was not so discriminating and would poop willy-nilly all over the yard.  Makes for awesome doggie landmines.  Go, Ruby!

Dear Harry,

I wish this weekend was over, but it just keeps going!  My peeps took an extra day off so my attention is required at all times to make sure the peeps are behaving.  The peeps finally broke down and communed with the internet (hence the barrage of diary entries).  We're still roughing it though - cos the computer is on a DIAL-UP connection *gasp* and it runs LINUX *faint*...  but all of this could not stop us from connecting to the webernets and catching up on the outside world.  

But we still had a lawn to mow and laundry to wash at home, so we packed up, cleaned up, and headed back around noon.

Thank dog this "weekend" is almost over...  as soon as I step my paw into the house, I'm crashing out.  Snooze at ya later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My details for Monday:

Things between Ruby and I are back to normal...  we ran and played in the forest.  I came back to the cabin with a dead spider cling-on hangin' off my butt.  My peeps figured I must've rolled in something good.  Heck, ya!

After another great breakfast cooked by Herb, Fran ditched us this morning.  Frannie needed to get to work at 1:00 PM, so she packed up Ruby and left.  Bye bye, Ruby!  Sniff ya later.  Now I gots the remaining peeps to myself.  But not for long...  Herb left after lunch.  I was so sad to see him go.  Later, we just hung out and made a list of supplies we wanted to get as the peeps headed into town.

I was left on my own in the cabin when a fierce thunder / hail storm came down.  I hid under *something* and braved it out while the elements pounded on the tin roof of the cabin.  My peeps came home shortly thereafter and the pack took a nap.  :o)

For dinner, we roasted weenies over an open fire...  mmmm!  Yum!  Even if I did feel a tad guilty for noshin' on my distant cousins the hot dogs, I still chomped down heartily.

No pukies today!  I think the excitement from being at the cabin has finally worn off.  Everything I ate stayed in my bellay.

Dear dog, is the weekend over yet???  I am so beat!  When are y'all going back to work so I can get some decent beauty sleep?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here's what happened on Sunday:

Herb cooked us breakfast and afterwards, we had a game of badminton.  I tried to play, but no one gave me a racket.  Ruby and I just cheered them on... but secretly we were plotting on ways of either tripping them or stealing the birdies - neither of which came to fruition.

Afterwards, we took a drive out on the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at some scenic overlooks.  At one of them, I puked up some of my breakfast.  Blech.  Momma would've puked too, but she took some dramamine.  Smart girl.

At another scenic overlook, we stopped to have a picnic lunch and then headed back to the cabin.  It was nap time for the ladies while the men chopped wood.  

Daddy and Herb chopped up the apple tree that had fallen down over at the other cabin... we had a ton of wood for our fire tonight.  We made foil packs with chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce and threw in all sorts of veggies.  Daddy was the designated cook since he was manning the fire pit.  We also had some fresh roasted corn too.  Mmmmm...  *burp*  Dog, it was good.

Ruby and I got into a little scrap at the end of the evening...  she was hogging it up on the couch with her loofa dog, when I jumped up beside her and all hell broke loose.  There was growling and there was snapping, but no one got hurt.  Daddy broke it up and held us down while we chilled out.  Ruby's got some aggression issues.  Me?  I just tried to lay down on the couch!  Sheesh!

Dear Norm,

I am having a blast up here!  I'm having a great time getting my stank on.  WOo hoO!

Here's the low-down of our happenings on Saturday:

We got up to Fran & Herb's cabin around noon-ish.  The weather was gorgeous!  Ruby ran up to greet me - we sniffed each others bums and then ran off to play.

I spent the afternoon with Ruby at the cabin while the peeps went off to get supplies in nearby Galax, VA.

Frannie came by the cabin around 3:00 and shortly therafter, my peeps and Herb came back from their jaunt to Walmart.

Everyone except momma took a walk down to the creek - and they came back with some poison ivy! Eeee!  It's a good thing momma didn't go.  She would've been in tears and freakin' out.  She's too much of a city girl for the big, scary woods.

We drove into Mount Airy for a drive-in movie and between the four of them - they ate six hotdogs, two fries, two drinks, and two large popcorns.  *burp*  Piggies.  The whole lot of 'em.  We saw Shrek 3 (and Spiderman 3 - but not really, cos we left after Shrek).

Everyone crashed out when we got back to the cabin and no one made a peep until morning.

Zzzzz...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Do your Peeps ever ask you stupid, obvious questions? For example, tonight my Momma was eating pizza and NOT sharing, I might add, and she looked at me and said, "Maggs, are you begging?" To which I replied, "are you blind?" No, not really, but duh, of COURSE I was begging. If you want me to stop begging, SHARE, WOMAN! BOL! She also asks me "what are you doing?" all the time. This is usually Momma code for "I know what you're doing and I want you to stop, so I'll ask you this really ridiculous question."

Tell me I don't have the only blind Momma on the planet!

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/288069">Maggs</a>

--

Dear Maggs,

OMG... All. The. Time.  Who do they think they're dealing with?  Sheesh!  Don't waste our time and ask a question y'all already know the answer to.

~ When I shake a squeakie toy at them, they ask me, "Do you wanna play?"  Heck ya!  

~ When they ask me, "Do you want a treat?"  Uh, hello?  Of course I want an arfin' treat!  

~ When I lay my head up on the bed or the couch, they'll ask me, "Do you want up?"  Uh, yeah.  No scheiße, Sherlock!

Sounds like my peeps are pretty oblivious too.  *sigh*  Humans... they're so hard to train.

Daisy

P.S.  Congrats on your new place, Maggs!!!  :o)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Why is it that every time I take a nap on the couch, I wake up with a squeaky toy staring me in the face?  Many times, it's more than one squeaky toy... in fact, just yesterday, it was two squeakie toys and a bad cuz all lined up in front of my face.

Love,
Momma

Dear Momma,

Do I wake you up by squeaking the toy on / by / in your face?  No...  I'm just trying to be polite.  At your earliest convenience (such as, when you wake up fron your nap), you are to play with me. 

Thank you.

Dear Puppy,

I hate it when the linens on my doggie beds get laundered...  not only do they smell april fresh (*gag*), but my momma takes the opportunity to fluff up my pillows!  Grrrrr!  I work really hard to make it flat and to have it conform to my boney butt.  Now I have to re-work the pillow to make it acceptable again.  *sigh*  It's such a chore.

What's all this craziness going around?  Well, check out the rules (copy and paste so you don't have to re-type 'em):

<i>Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post in their Diary the rules & their SEVEN (7) pawsome facts. Then choose SEVEN (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!</i>

Seven Not-So-Secret Facts about Moi:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.  I was named after a Hobbit.
2.  I like people more than dogs.  I like my peeps best, but I'm standoff-ish and independent sometimes.
3.  I've got sticks for legs.  They've been known to double as nunchucks.
4.  I get smelly two days after a bath - after a week, stink lines start coming off of me.
5.  Neck scritches are best from momma.  Kisses on the lips are best delivered to daddy.
6.  I love, love, love to fetch.  Throw anything and I'll run and retrieve it.  Toss a midget.  Go on! Try it!  Don't worry, I'll bring him back!
7.  Going somewhere?  I am *so* there... I love car rides!

You should make a haiku about trying to find a good poopy spot.  That would be funny!
 
Love,
Daddy

--

Dear Daddy,

Here are some haikus for you:

<i>~

When I poop, you scoop.
Soft and fresh.  You need two hands.
My bum is itchy.

~

Sniffing fresh cut grass,
I find a furbulous spot,
For which to poop on.

~

Squating on the lawn.
Poo does not want to appear.
Grass tickles my bum.

~

</i>Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I heard you almost got into a fight yesterday!  What happened?

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Me?  Fight?  I'm a lover, not a fighter...  besides which, <i>she</i> started it.

<i>She</i> being a mini dachshund by the name of Cinnamon Stick.  Ha!  'Stick', my ass.  :P  More like a cinnamon sausage roll.

My peeps and I were walking in the ritzy part of the neighborhood when we came upon an older couple carrying their dachshund.  They were chatty and fawned all over me - them giving me pets, me giving them kisses.  

I guess the little runt got jealous cos she was growling the whole time.  After a while, I deigned to acknowledge her presence so I trotted over for a sniff.  The man held her down for a nose-to-nose greeting and the li'l bugger snapped at me!  Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

I yelped, hid behind my daddy, and put on my sad, wounded face.  Oh man, I milked it for as long as I could.  And the suckas... they totally fell for it and gave me even more attention.  Ha!

We eventually walked our way through the development and on the way back, as a gesture of defiance, I did a soft, squishy poop on Cinnamon Stick's lawn.  Hee!  A little something to remember me by.  My daddy picked up as much as he could, but most of it ended up being smeared on their lawn.  

She who poops last... wins!

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Dear Pete,

Me?  I got a bully stick to gnaw on.

Ran around outside like a wild woman, drank a bunch of water, then puked up bits of bully stick for my daddy to clean up.  Wheeeeeeee!

Then, I got a bath.  *sigh*

My peeps?  They went to see a movie.  WITHOUT me.  The nerve!  They did a two-fer:  "Shrek 3" and "Disturbia".  "Shrek" was funny - better than the second one.  "Disturbia" would've been a good date movie... if you were 15 years old.  But still, decent acting by Shia LaBeouf.  A few creepy / suspensful moments had my momma peeping through fingers.  Did I mention she was peeping through my <i>daddy's fingers</i>?  Yeah.  

And thank dog it's Monday... time to catch up from the weekend!  :o)

Dear Norm,

Nuh-uh!  All cats are not the same.  And I do not *hate* my cat...  I just don't *love* him.

Other people's cats are like other people's brats... I mean, <i>children</i>.  They're cute, entertaining, and precious - but you don't have to take 'em home and you don't have to live with 'em... for the rest of your life (or until they're 18 and kicked out of the house).

I'm just sayin'.

Dear Puppy,

Yep!  It's always a good thing to sleep up on the big bed... but I prefer to be under the bed when it's thundering outside.  

My momma found me with my butt sticking out from underneath the bed and hauled my ass up on the bed with them and plunked a pillow over my head.

Such a huge sacrifice for her!  Considering how stinky I am... it's been two weeks since my last bath.  So... thank you, momma!  :o)

Dear Harry,

I like to nibble off the extremeties!  Noses, earses, and toeses are a few of my favorites to get out of the way first.  Mmmm... they are delectable!    :D

Then I like to go for the face.  It taunts me.  So I have to remove it.

Once that is done, the best part remains... a shell of its former latex self.  It's great for "death shakes" and for tug-o-war with the peeps!  And I must admit... there are times when I simply let go during tuggies, so that the squeakie toy slaps back into their faces.  Hee!  Love it!

Dear Wrigglesworth,

The cat and I... we are not exactly friends... but we're not exactly enemies.  The relationship between us can be best described as "frenemies"  :o)  

I will share my bed with him, but not my food.  I will share daddy with him, but not momma.  And when it comes to toys... I would share my squeakie toys with him, but he just hisses and runs away.

Oh, and I like to size his head inside my mouth.  

What?

Is that wrong?

Dear Harry,

I consider myself a connoisseur of all foods of the humankind.  :o)  Carrots, apples, celery... yeah, I'll eat it, but I know the good stuff when I taste it.

Take Cook-Out burgers, for example.  Juicy.  Meaty.  Charbroiled.  Mmmm!  Then there's rotisserie chicken breast.  Tastee!  I've had ribs too.  Yum.  Cheese - only the best will do... smoked gouda?  It's not bad-a!

Uh, but did I get any left overs from the dinner they had at Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse on Friday?  No...!  Did I get to taste any of the hickory smoked sirloin?  No!  Did I get a schnibble of the garlic sirloin either?  No!  A nibblet of the grilled salmon?  No!  No!  No!  

How do they expect me to expand upon my highly developed epicurean palate if they don't allow me to sample the goodies?  Hrmph.  

There's a reason they call it a "doggy bag", you know.  :P

Dear Norm,

That cat!  He... he... *hissed* at me!  Of all the nerve!  Hrmph!  

We were playing the usual game of chase-the-kibble.  I, of course, being so lithe and agile, was scoring most of the kibble that came our way.  I guess the cat got pissed that he only got three measly bits, so when a kibble landed equidistance between us, I went for it... only to be hissed at!  Okay, so I let him have that one.  Whatta baby.  :P

Well, after that incident, it pretty much ended the game of chase-the-kibble for the evening.  The cat was banished downstairs to his dungeon for the night.  And the kibble?  Not so interesting now that there was no competition involved.  :o(

Although, there was talk of giving my toys away:

"Daisy has too many toys, she doesn't need new ones."
<i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-"That's cos you don't throw away the bits of feet and ears that remains of her squeakie toys."</i>

"But those are the parts she likes the best."
<i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-"She'll never get new toys at this rate."</i>

"Well, she *does* have a lot of toys she doesn't play with - take that dental kong thing over there in the basket, for example... she never touches it."
<i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-"We could always give them away to the shelter, like <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/288069/diary/Maggies_musings/303666">Maggie May's doing</a>."</i>

Well... enough was enough!  I promptly went over to my toy basket, started digging out all the toys I haven't played with just to prove them wrong.  I pulled out at least two balls, three squeakies, and other nibblies.

Daddy just shook his head and resigned himself to having a smart doggie that likes to prove him wrong.  Yeah, beeotches!  ;o)  Doggies rule, daddies drool!

Blech!!!!  I had the little widget for the Next Web Awards on my sidebar to promote votes for Dogster, but... those sneaky bustards (the other guys, not Dogster) put an ad in there today.  Ick.  Tacky much?  So I took the widget down.

Dear Pete,

In addition to barks (and moans, groans, whines, and whimpers), dogs also communicate through body language.  :o)

Here are how some barks sound in other languages:

Cantonese Chinese: "Wo! Wo!"
Czech: "Haf! Haf!"
Dutch: "Kef! Kef!" or "Waf Waf!" or "Woef Woef!" (depending on the size of the dog)
Estonian: "Auh! Auh!"
Finnish: "Hau! Hau!" or "Vuh! Vuh!"
French: "Wouaff! Wouaff!" or "Ouah! Ouah!"
German: "Wau! Wau!" or "Wuff! Wuff!"
Japanese: "Wan! Wan!"
Mandarin (Han) Chinese: "Wang! Wang!"
Korean: "Mong! Mong!"
Lebanese: "Haw! Haw!"
Norwegian: "Voff! Voff!"
Polish: "How! How!"
Portuguese: "Au! Au!"
Russian: "Gav! Gav!"
Spanish: "Gau! Gau!"
Swedish: "Vov! Vov!"
Tamil: "Bou! Bou!"
Thai: "Hong! Hong!"

Do I bark with a southern accent, y'all?

Hey girl- you seem to have the celebrity connections. Can you hook me up with Brad Pittbull? Ive been tryin and tryin to meet him- even if he does have all those lil short people around him.. I think they are munchkins. I could munch them actually.. any help would be so greatly appreciated..
Thanks :)

Dear Millie,

I hear the Brangelina relationship is on the rocks.  So you may have a chance if Brad runs off with Shiloh.  One munchkin is better than no munchkin, don'cha think?  Until that happens, lemme introduce you to <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/376255">Dogster's very own Brad Pitt</a>.  :o)  He's pretty hunky too.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

WOoooF!  What is the proper bathroom etiquette for doggies when other doggies are visiting your turf?

Warm regards, 
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry Hound,

If ya poop, ya scoop.  No one wants to step in foreign poopage.  And there most certainly *is* poopy etiquette in the doggie world.  One would never squat right next to an already squatting doggie.  Yes, we may sniff the present(s) they left, but never would we squat right beside them and do our doody at the same time.  That is utterly reprehensible.

Strangely though, why do *some* people... when three bathroom stalls are available, and only the farthest to the right is currently occupied, deem it necessary to take the *middle* stall and execute a class one download?  No one wants to hear that mess!  Hello??  Can't you see there's a perfectly good, *empty* stall further to the left?  Ick.  It should be common courtesy to leave a buffer of an empty stall betwixt the occupants if one is available.

Doggies are obviously the superior life form.  Just take it from Jerry Seinfeld:  "Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them's making a poop, the other one's carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?"  I wholly agree, Jerry.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

As you know, my Momma says we are moving. Moving means that Momma is putting all my toys and bandanas and things into boxes. I learned today that I mustn't unpack these boxes or she gets mad. *sigh* So far, moving is not very fun.

Have you ever moved before? Was it scary?

How's your tummy feeling?

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/288069">Maggs</a>

--

Dear Maggs,

The only place I've moved was from my foster momma's farm to my current furever home.  I was just a wee pup then, with nothing but a collar to call my own, so I don't think I was too traumatized by the whole situation

But!  I think moves can definitely be traumatic.  Especially since all the toys have to be put away!  Boo!  :o(

We will definitely move sometime in the next few years.  There are a butt-load of kids in our neighborhood, and my momma is somewhat of the neighborhood nazi...  she can't stand the kids loitering in our cul-de-sac.  If she had her own kids, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand 'em either.  Good thing she's got me instead, huh?  ;o)   

So we'll probably be moving into a more "adults only" type of neighborhood.  Wow... that sounds dirty, like XXX!  I meant to say, a neighborhood where every family doesn't have five bebe's kids running amok in other people's yards.

Daisy

P.S.  Oh!  And my tummy is feeling better.  :o)  Thanks!!!!]]></content:encoded>

Dear Pete,

Ya!  Apparently Paris can't believe it herself.  She and her wonky eye are sentenced to the slammer for 45 days.  I doubt she'll set one size 16 foot in a jail cell though...   I am guessing she'll get off with community service and a longer probation period.  I mean, c'mon... she's a <i>Hilton</i>.

Dear Lucy,

Something was out there.

Not in our yard, per se... but out <i>there</i> nonetheless.

Maybe a mile or two away.  Maybe farther.

But I heard it!  And I had to get mean with it.

I'm awfully barky when daddy's gone on a business trip... <i>someone</i> has got to protect the momma.  And that's me.  Barky McBarks-A-Lot.  :o)

Wha'chu think of the new tree rosettes?  I think they're furbulous!  But much like the bones, I wish they were real trees... for me to pee on (trees, not bones - blech).

Warm regards,
Shaggy

--

Dear Shaggy,

The tree rosettes are pretty cool.  :o)  I wonder if they're trying to balance the rosettes out so they're less grrrlie-fied.  I mean, they've had the butterflies and the flowers, which are seriously girlie.  And the trees, well... they are a lot less girlie, don'cha think?  

This should bode well for doggies like <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/16108">Dexter</a> and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/414188">Fred</a> who seem to eschew the pink or red rosettes, as well as the flowers or the butterfly rosettes.  Rather, it seems they like to kick it old-school and stick with the blue rosettes.  

Yay for manly tree rosettes!  :o)

Dear Norm,

Hee!  Evidently the PayPal email address I used had to be the same as the Dogster email address.  Some poor schmuck at Dogster HQ had to go hunting down to match up the information for me cos if the email addresses are different, then Pay Pal doesn't know what to do with the account information.  Sorry I confoozled y'all!

So...  that still doesn't explain the plethora of rosette deposits from before, but hey, that's okay!  Oh, and I must mention, once they Plus'd me again today... I got *another* 25 rosettes.  BUT, my renewal date, which was the 10th of May, is now the 1st of June.  And that's quite all right with me.  Just glad this PayPal fiasco is all behind me so I can enjoy another year of Plus.  :o)

Now to get my new tree rosettes out!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogster HQ,

Ya gotta believe me...  it wasn't my intention.  Seriously.

My DogsterPlus account expires tomorrow, supposedly, but today I couldn't give away the beautified rosettes - only blue - which is okay, but I like the other ones much more.  :o) 

I had been de-Plus'd.  Not sure how it happened... just did.  Somewhere between today and my renewal date of tomorrow, I got dumped from Plus.  Actually, it was surprising cos my page looked basically the same (except for the additional photos).

So I checked my PayPal account, cancelled the pending subscription, and renewed again.  So, that totally helped to get me back on Plus and the ability to give out the pretty non-blue rosettes.

And uh, it also gave me <i>another</i> 25 rosettes.  This, on top of <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/273366/diary/Your_daily_dose_of_doggie_wisdom/301485">the other 25 rosettes when I renewed last time</a>.  So this month... I've had 75 rosettes to give away.  Not that I'm complaining, mind you...  I'll take this kinda glitch any day.  :o)

I got some pretty kickin' ninja powers today though - got my nails clipped and as I was practicing my ninja prowess, I slashed a big red scratch on my momma's thigh.  I made her bleed her own blood.  

Hmmm... I guess that's why they all wear pants at the vet's office.

Momma grumbled something about investing in a dremmel... either that or wearing pants next time.

What's with all the vomitage?  I vomit after chomping on grass, and one time I vomited after eating some expired kitty treats.  It was *so* worth it though.

Sincerely,
Leaping Larry

Dear Larry,

My momma has discovered that cold food makes me toss my biscuits.  I've got a sensitive tummy, I guess.  Food fresh outta the can at room temperature is good.  Leftover food that has been refrigerated needs to be warmed up to prevent it from coming back up.

Also, not taking my meds makes me pukey too.  See, I've got a weak flap somewhere between my stomach and my intestines, and my gastric juices get all confused and don't know which way is up or down.  Usually, it likes to come up and results in pukage.

How in the world did you and your kitty figure out how to get along so well?  I can't stand the cats that think they rule our household.  They torment me, and I torment them back...  but *I* am the one that gets yelled at.  :(

Dear Pete,

The cat and I have an understanding...  I get to sniff his butt, and he gets to head-butt me.  

Although, yesterday I did get scolded for trying to see if his head fit in my mouth.

What?

I didn't chomp down.  I was just checkin'.

And, yes...  it fit.   :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

The word "renovaré" means "to renew" in Latin.

Recently, I received a notice from Dogster HQ saying that my Dogster Plus account was going to expire soon... so being the good, loyal doggie that I am, I dug the credit card out of my momma's wallet and signed onto her paypal account in order to renew my Dogster Plus account.

Well imagine my surprise when I renewed...  I got 25 rosettes!!!  And it wasn't anywhere near my next deposit date.  Dunno if it's a glitch or not, but I'm keepin' 'em... or rather, keeping them to give away.  But nonetheless, they're mine to do with as I desire.  :o)

Oh, and my daddy?  He bought me some more zealies too.  Seriously.  He bought 'em for me!!!  :o)  Not the me-using-his-credit-card method.  Thanks for hookin' me up, daddy!  Smoochies to you!

Dear Norm,

My bedroom privileges have been revoked.  :o(  This, after I released a couple of bright yellowish-foamy urka-gurka's on the comforter.

Huh.

I guess that totally gave away the fact that I was on the bed.

My peeps have always suspected it - they see these dainty paw indentations all over the bed when they get home, but they've never actually caught me on the bed.

Now, I've been relegated to the doggie beds in the kitchen or in the sunroom to spend my days.  *sigh*

Yesterday, I spent the day chasing squirrels and keeping the birds from landing in my yard.  I'm pooped.  What did you do yesterday?

Dear Harry,

We got some take-out and had lunch on the patio overlooking the Magnolia Quad at WFU.  My daddy offered me a schnibble of his charbroiled burger.  Mmmm!  Then my momma offered me a piece of her "chicken" nugget.  BLeh.  I wouldn't even look at it.  Gimme some *real* meats instead of this processed corn pretending to be meats.

Later... I walked.  I sniffed.  I pooed.  

Then, we headed to Reynolda Gardens and went on the nature trail.  HooOOOoo boy!  I loved sniffing all the lovely little messages other doggies had left me.

I met a cute little rat terrier named Lizzie... we sniffed and wanted to scamper off to play, but our respective peeps held us back.  There were plenty of other doggies to see and sniff too.

By the end of it all, I was pooped, like you... and my peeps didn't hear another peep out of me all night.

I thought I wouldn't hafta see the vet until next year, but as it turns out, some yeasties are having a cocktail party in my ear...  ewww.  It's just a small infection, so I got some drops and some ear wash to be administered daily / weekly.

So... no biggie.  My ear, 'kay?  That's where the problem is.  So why'd they violate my bumhole??  :o(  I hate having my temperature taken...  how 'bout I take YOUR temperature there, hmmm?  I doubt you'd like it.  :P

Dear Butchie's Dad

Here are some signs that your doggie may be trying to off-you:

- He's reading the Stephen King novel 'Cujo.' 	
- You find out he's been practicing Dim Mak, also know as Death Touch.
- Forges your will so that when you die, he gets 400,000 dog biscuits. 	
- You catch him gnawing on your car's brake line. 
- Whenever you're in the bath, he decides to fetch the radio.
- 'Accidentally' leaves slippery chew toy at top of basement stairs. 	
- He is slipping recalled dog and cat food into your homemade hamburger patties.	
- You see him whittling a knife out of a Snausage. 

Mmmm... snausages.  :o)

His bio says he has a wife and three sons, but nothing about a dog.
But um, I think he's watching me.

Seriously.
I'm not being paranoid.

My doggie senses are tingling.

Someone from the US Department of Justice has been investigating my page.
Whether it is Mr. Gonzales himself, I do not know.

Eep!  I swear I was born here.  Take my momma.  She's Canadian!

Dear Harry,

Well, I sleep with my peeps in the bed.  Momma gets in bed first.  Then me.  Then daddy.  At this point, I get rolled, tossed, and squished ("kneaded").  A Daisy sammich, if you will.

So the other evening, while we are all laying in bed, the conversation goes like this:

"Daisy doesn't like to be sammiched."
&nbsp;&nbsp;- "<i>No, she doesn't like being the meats.  She'd rather be the bread.</i>"

"What kinda of bread do you think Daisy would be?"
&nbsp;&nbsp;- "<i>A croissant.</i>"

"No... she's not big enough in the middle to be a croissant."
&nbsp;&nbsp;- "<i>She can be when she eats too much</i>"

"I think she'd be a kaiser roll."
&nbsp;&nbsp;-"<i>What about the sticks?"</i>

Seriously.  

This is what my peeps discuss.

Well, I may start out as <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/04/kaiser-roll.html">a kaiser roll</a>, but if I'm sammiched tight enough between my peeps, I become a breadstick.  And if that breadstick has room to expand,  I'd be <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/04/breadsticks.html">a breadstick... with sticks</a>.

So what happened to the toy ban? Did you destroy enough to earn new ones? Congrats!

Dear Rajah,

OMD... have you seen the <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/04/mountain-of-toys.html">mountain of toys</a> I have to go through before I can get new ones?

My most recent accomplishment has been <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/04/spider-speaks.html">de-stuffing my spider</a>.  But that's only partially de-stuffed.

*sigh*

A girl's gotta have options.

Hmmm, I think <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/photos/one.php?i=296339&pi=2367741">your new house</a> looks kinda sparse... and way <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/photos/one.php?i=296339&pi=2367737">too clean and uncluttered</a>.  I think you would benefit from having a few strategically placed squeaky toys and tennis balls throughout your place. Whaddaya say?  Can I send some over?  :o)

Dear Norm,

If I had opposable thumbs, I would:

- give the cat a wedgie (if the cat wore underpants)
- unlock the front door, run around the neighborhood, come back, and lock the door again (all this while my peeps are at work - they'd never know)
- play wii to hone up on my boxing skillz
- play burnout on the xbox to hone up on my driving skillz
- throw my own ball and fetch it too!
- take up hitchhiking
- thumb my nose at the cat
- play thumb-wrestling with my peeps (then bite their thumbs cos they cheat)

Hee!  What would you do if you had opposable thumbs??

Are you feeling all better now?  Is your eye still watery and your ear still buggin' you?

Sincerely,
Stinky Pete

Dear Pete,

I'm better!  Thanks!!  I think it was all the pollen everywhere that made my eye watery... and as for the ear?  Most likely debris from houndin' around in the forest, chasing rabbits and "stuff" (aka - the cat when the peeps aren't watching).  I got a bath last night.  :o(  It did make my ear feel better though.

Ahhhh, I've been so spoiled... my momma's stayed home with me for five days in a row.  All she does is sleep all day (actually, she says the same thing about me).  Suits me fine cos playtime isn't until daddy gets home anyway.  :o)  Today, I'm home alone.  No one to snuggle with...  boo hoo!

Ick ick ick!  I hate those dang cats that occupy the same space as me.  They are vile, vile creatures.  How do you keep your nasty feline in line?

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Every day, upon first meeting, I stick my nose up his butt.  You know, to make sure it's the same cat and he hasn't swapped out with another one of his cat pals.  They all look the same, but their butts are all distinctly unique...  kinda like fingerprints.

After he passes the butt sniffing test, I boss him around with my snout.  I have a very bossy snout.  If he tries to get close to my peeps, I herd him off.

And when it comes to food, I will charge at him with my snout.  He knows better than to come close to my food.  But there are no rules when it comes to his food.  His food is fair game.

Phew.... I can smell ya all the way from over here.  How is it that you've managed to evade the dreaded bath and be able to remain stinky??

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

My momma's been sick.  She's either leaking or stopped up in every facial orafice and can't smell a dang thing.

Since my daddy's been out of town, I've gotten to snuggle with her on the couch *and*  sleep up on the bed with her every night for the past week.

Stink!  Glorious stink!!!

Daddy came home yesterday and sniffed me.  As he reeled back in shock, he asked momma if she realized just how stinky I was.  Imagine the look of horror on momma's face when daddy told her that I was man-certified stinky.  That's a whole lotta stinky.

On the outside, I looked woefully penitent... but on the inside, I was killing myself laughing.

Oh well.  Sounds like a bath this weekend... but it was *so* worth it.  :o)

Mmmm... I smell chicken.  What'd you have for dinner?

Sincerely,

--

Dear Pete,

I had some chicken for dinner.  "<i>Had</i>" being the operative word.  It didn't taste as good coming up as it did going down.  Bleh.  

I got too excited and woofed it down too fast, when all of a sudden it decided to make a reappearance... thankfully on the tile (momma adds).

But, um, that's not the ew. part.  

So... don't read any further if you don't want to be horrifically grossed out.

Seriously.

Okay, I've warned you.

See...  my momma's all doped up on Nyquil cos she got sick today, so unbeknownst to her, when I blew my chunks o' chicken, the cat was waiting... to, uh... eat it.

But since it was chicken, I didn't want the cat to have it... but I didn't want it either.  Hey, I've got *some* standards... eating my own puke is simply crossing the line.

So I just stood there.  Guarding my chunks.  The cat lickin' his chops.  We were at a stalemate.

Momma wondered why it got so quiet all of a sudden, when she finally looked over in her Nyquil haze to see our stand-off.

Our temporary impasse was resolved once momma scooped up the chunks with a paper towel and Windex'd the area.

Hey... as long as they cat doesn't get it, I'm down with that.

Dear Norm,

I didn't get to sleep a wink on Sunday.  I was busy supervising momma.  She decided to give the house a bath this weekend - I'm just glad it wasn't me gettin' the bath.  *shudder*

Daddy's jetted off to Hartford for the week, so it was a good time to get in some spring cleaning.  We got the sewing room cleaned out (we can see the carpet again!) and the bedroom tidied up.  We also put fresh sheets on the bed.  Momma loves fresh sheets, but me... I like the stanky ones best.

Then it was time for the vacuum monster to come out of the closet.  I had to keep a trained eye on it to make sure it didn't try and attack my momma.

Ahh... but now it's Monday, and I can finally catch up on my beauty sleep.  :o)  Momma's at work, the vacuum beast is back in the closet, and I'm on the bed... make way for stinky.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I love to play ALL the time.  My humans just can't keep up with me.  What do you do when your peeps refuse to play with you?  How do you get them to throw that ball?

Sincerely,
Meatball

--

Dear Meaty,

I have several techniques you can try out:

1.  Drop the squeakie toy or ball on their foot - repeatedly.  This works best if the item is of a heavier nature.

2.  Take squeakie toy or ball in mouth and rub on the human's arm, leg, or face - whichever is closest.  Works best if item is wet and slimey.

3.  If human is asleep (especially on the couch), take squeakie toy or ball, and silently line them up, one at a time, right by their face.  Do this until a wall of squeakie toys welcomes them once they wake up, refreshed, and ready to play with you.

4.  Be cute.  Nudge the squeakie toy or ball with your nose... and then pounce on it.  They'll be, like, 'Awwwwww!!! How cute!!!' - and then they'll throw it for you.  Suckas.

Dear Puppy,

I got a BATH last night.  Daddy gave me a good wash down with his big man hands.  I got the major zoomies last night after my bath...  I just couldn't escape that floral scent... is it beside me?  Behind me?  Underneath me?  Is it <i>me</i>??

Gah.

It <i>is</i> me.

I want my stank back!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Soooooo...the other day, I fell off Mom's bed. Mom got REALLY upset (she still is kind of upset) but really, all that got hurt was my pride. Luckily, Mom's housekeeping skills are really inept so a pile of dirty laundry broke my fall. Have you ever had any embarrassing accidents? You know your faithful would never tell! ;)

Dear Maggs,

We're so glad to hear you are uninjured!  ;o)  As for embarrassing accidents...?  My peeps really racked their brains trying to think of embarrassing accidents, but couldn't recall any!  Other than my episodes of projectile vomiting and busting an extra-large grumpy to bake right smack dab in the middle of the hot asphalt parking lot at Burger King two summers ago, I haven't been too accident prone.  :o)

Dear Pete,

We barked.  And barked.  And barked!

Daddy would come to the front door with me and together, we'd bark at the dogs / people / cars that would pass through our cul-de-sac.

That was fun!  I never had a barking partner before.  We barked as pack!  RRRrrrrrooouuuff!  :o)

I hafta give a woof-out to my daddy for doing a fabulous job keeping up with my diary entries while momma was in Vegas partying the night away with the Thunder from Down Under menz.  ;o)  As it was, daddy had full access to update my diary, but did not know about giving out rosettes and bones, so my apologies to all my doggie pals who have been rosette-less and bone-less these last couple of days.

Dear Puppy,

Not necessarily cos my momma's home (yay!) and she's $5 richer.  Yeah, not much of a gambler, this one.  We picked her up at 2:00 AM last night and good gawd, she smelled of airplane stank.  It was fabulous!  I couldn't quite detect all the scents on her, but I spent a great amount of time sniffing her head.

Today, I am one poopered pup.  After staying up all night last night, then pretty much all day today since the peeps took the day off, my ears are hanging low and I can barely keep my eyes open.

Monday can't come soon enough.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dearest Daisy,

Enquiring minds, with over-sized craniums, would like you to expand on Doggie Boot Camp. When Mom is not around here everything just falls apart. How does your Mom prevent that?

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/262047">Mulli of the MidWest</a>

--

Dear Mulli,

Doggie Boot Camp is eight hours of mental and physical training. Expect it to be rigorous and demanding. It's hard work. Then again, anything worth something usually is. From Doggie Boot Camp, you will emerge as a Doggie Lover in top mental and physical condition astounded by what you've accomplished so far and ready for the biggest reward of your life: taking care of ME!

Let's take a closer look.

1.  Processing - once enrolled, you will be taught the right way to feed, play with, and maintain the doggie.

2.  This is a confidence-building hour. As such, you'll be going through the confidence course - a course designed to simulate doggie situations that you could encounter in an emergency. Be sharp because your life and the life of your doggie depend on it.

3.  Reality check: This hour, everything will be hands-on. You'll learn everything from playtime techniques to grooming procedures. All the real-world lessons you'll need to survive in the world of doggies. 

4.  Hazardous Waste disposal:  heads up! If you've never scooped poop before -- you'll get your hands in a plastic bag *and* a pooper scooper.  When you've proven you know how to properly use both, you'll graduate to the live-fire range. This is where it gets really interesting.

5.  This hour is all about you. Where you want to go, what you want to do, and how fast you intend to get there. So you find the shortest distance between where you are and where you want to be. If you're feeling a sense of accomplishment for making it this far - good for you. That means that 180-degree-life-change your Recruiter told you would come - has come.

6.  Household damage control and odor / stain fighting. Two of the most vital skills you'll need in the house. You'll learn to vacuum up the dog hairs, wash off doggie nose prints, clean up doggie vomit, and other necessary tasks.  You know it now: You have what it takes. You are doggie material.

7.  Battle Stations. Boot Camp's ultimate test. Here's an exercise of 12 different scenarios incorporating what you have learned during the previous hours. You will be graded on your ability to execute the required tasks.  Successful completion nets you the ultimate reward - a doggie lovers ball cap. The cap that tells the world you're no longer a Recruit, but a full-fledged Doggie Lover.

8.  Graduation in your dress uniform. Pass the mirror. Stop and stare. Recognize that person? You should. Stand tall. Walk proud. You are Doggie Lover. After today, your family and friends will envy you. Strangers on the street will thank you. Your Doggie family will always have your back. Savor this moment. Not everybody makes it; not everybody should.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I hear you're quite the racing hound.  I get tired just watching you from the window!  Can you tell us a little bit about what makes your zoomies zoom?

Meatball

--

Dear Meatball,

Aw, I'll do a couple of laps around the house just for you!  I do lots of different kinds of zoomies.  Most of my zoomies are peep sanction and approved, but occasionally, a non-sanctioned zoomie sneaks out.  Sorry peeps!  Anyhow, here are the major types of zoomies...

1) School's Out Zoomies - This zoomie mainly occurs when Mommy or Daddy gets home.  It generally goes like this: The door opens, and after a brief attempt to nard daddy / generally assault mommy, go pee pee, and then *ZoOOooOooMmmmm*!!  I'm off to the back yard to run laps or romp around in the woods behind our house.  When the peeps finally make it to the backyard, we play stick together!

2) Jungle Fever - I stand at the door making monkey noises, usually because there is something or someone who requires a thorough chasing.  Once the door is half-open I become a yellow blur and dart outside.

2) Butt Zoomie - OK this one is reserved for *really* special occasions!  Normally I only do this zoomie when I haven't seen my buddies Fran and Herb for a while, or maybe my Grandma and Grandpa.  So basically while my front paws at a normal height from the ground, my back paws are in low ridah' mode!  I tear around the house for at least a couple of minutes, running everywhere like a banshee, all the while my butt is mere inches away from the floor.

Ok, there are more zoomies, but Daddy said something about sharing some peanut butter pie with me...  *sLuRp* So...  I think we're done here for tonight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I've done something *really* bad.  I think I'm falling in love with the cat that lives in our house!  That swishy tail, those piercing green eyes.... What should I do???

Katrina Keeshound

--

Dear Katrina,

*Eeeep!* When you said you did something really bad, I thought you were going to say you double dipped at a party or something!

The first thing you need to realize is, this is not your fault!  Cats' hypnotic powers are infamous.  Millions of humans each year are hypnotized into allowing these walking hairballs to live with them.  Cats even convince many humans that they actually love those little walking hairballs. *Blech* How disgusting!

Luckily, there is a way out!  It is a well known fact that cats *hate* water.  Tomorrow, when your peeps leave (they're under the cat's spell, remember?) turn on all the faucets in the house.  Leave all the faucets running until said cat runs away and never comes back again.  To be extra sure, turn the hose on outside and chase kitty around the house!  Sure, the entire house will be flooded, but that's a small price to pay to get rid of one of those green-eyed devils!  I'm sure your peeps will be so overjoyed at being released from the cat's spell, they'll barely even notice...  Or not.

Dear Puppy,

Daddy does his best, but being a single pack leader is rough!  When Daddy gets home I make sure to go outside and look around the car thoroughly to make sure Mommy isn't there.  I also get really upset when Daddy has to leave unexpectedly. I start making monkey noises galore! Doesn't he know a princess requires her servants?! ;o)

On the upside, Daddy feeds me lots of snausages, which he NEVER does when Mommy is home.  Also, the cat is upstairs alot less often so I get daddy all to myself!  Oooh, and I get to sleep on the bed every night, cos Daddy is missing Mommy too.  Come home soon Mommy, my scruffles need scratchin'!

Dear Sam,

It seems that my Mommy went out of town and forgot to bring me and Daddy!

*Oh Nose!!*

Ok, so me and Daddy are playing bachelor all the way until Friday.  Not to worry though, I won't be eating any spaghetti-o's or <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.twinkies.com/recipe_list.asp?cid=1&recipetype=Twinkies">twinkie recipes</a>.  Daddy has to go through doggie bootcamp that Mommy holds just before she leaves.  Doggie bootcamp is there so he doesn't forget all the stuff a special dog like me needs!

Daddy doesn't play with me as much as Mommy does.  He just sits and stares at computers all night, talking, and every once in a while, growling at them.  I wonder what they talk about that make him so interested.  I think he's looking for new twinkie recipes myself, but that's just a theory I need to sniff out later.  While he doesn't play with me as much as Mommy, he also doesn't <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/03/um-dont-ask.html">dress me up</a>. So, all in all, I guess it is a wash.

I'll be sure and let you guys know if Daddy accidentally feeds me Beanie Weanies, instead of doggie food!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

My humans give me lots of pets and treats and always say what I good boy I am!  How can you tell if your peeps love you?  

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

Dear Norm,

I know my peeps love me cos my daddy gives me discipline, and my momma is freaky over me.  Let me count the ways:

Yo' momma's so freaky, she makes a special trip to the pet store when there's a sale for items she does not need. (Nature's Miracle - buy one, get one free - hey, that's a <i>good</i> deal!)

Yo' momma's so freaky, a the first hint of stench, you are given a bath.  Consequently you are bathed, wiped down, or sprayed with grooming spray every three days.

Yo' momma's so freaky, when you sneeze, she wants to take you to the vet.

Yo' momma's so freaky, she'll buy every arfin' type of premium dog food available to keep you eating.  Ahhh... variety is the spice of life!

Yo' momma's so freaky, she has a typed instructions with hand-drawn diagrams and / or screenshots detailing your feeding, medication, playtime, and publishing instructions for the Dogster diary and Blogger blog.

Speaking of which... my diary and blog may be hijacked by my daddy for the next week or so.  Momma's jetting off to Vegas for a "conference" (so she says), and I'm left at home with geek-boy as my transcriptionist.  

C'mon, mom!  I *know* they have wireless internet access at Manadaly Bay.  :P  You *could* continue to update for me if you *really* wanted to.  Better yet... take me with you.  Please?  Please?  Pretty please with a doggie biscuit on top?

Well, we talked him out of going to Cook-Out for his birthday and we went to El Arriero instead.  It is *the* best Mexican restaurant in town.  Mmmm... my peeps smelled like fajitas.  If any of you ever come and visit, we promise to take you there for exceptional yummies.  :o)

Dear Harry,

Yep!  My daddy's old.  I think he's got two gray hairs.  Maybe more.... but he won't let me take a good, closer look.

Momma and I are going to make a peanut butter pie for him, and then I'm going to get to lick the spoons!  Yum!

We wanted to take him out for dinner somewhere nice, but he insists on going to Cook-Out (which is like a hamburger joint that you drive thru and does not even have any seating!!!).  *sigh*  I guess it is an upgrade from last year's birthday request...  Burger King.

Don't worry daddy... momma will more than make up for your lack of taste on *her* birthday.  I think we'll be going to the <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.chophousesofnc.com/ChopHouse/index.htm">Twin City Chop House</a>.  ;o)

I hear today is International Pie Day... does that mean everydog gets free pie??  *slurp*

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

Dear Puppy,

You probably meant International <i>Pi</i> Day.  How clever (and terribly geeky) of them to designate 3/14 as International Pi Day.  

So to celebrate International Pi Day... I will list off some of the things I can do in 3.14 minutes:

- chase 9.7 sticks
- power nap and wake up ready to play
- buffalo the cat out of the way and eat all of the cat's food
- sniff out the perfect spot to bust a grumpy
- fetch and return 12.9 squeaky toys
- sit still for neck scratchies & ear scratchies
- eat a whole pie*

*Not that I've ever had the opportunity to eat a whole pie, but if I did, I bet I could do it in 3.14 minutes.  Especially if it was apple pie.  I imagine it would be delectable.

Dear Donna Cairn,

Between the numerous sessions of chase the stick and chase the cat this weekend, I haven't had any time for my beauty sleep.  Plus, my peeps were back to painting, which leads to vacuuming and cleaning.  Of course I had to make sure they were doing a good job, so I had to stay awake and supervise the progress.

I hate to say it, but I am so glad it's Monday.

Yours truly,
Snickerpoodle

Dear Snickerpoodle,

Here are some suggestions:

- The cucumber has left the salad.
- You've got a security breach at Los Pantalones.
- I always knew you were crazy, but now I can see ya nuts.
- Quasimodo needs to go back in the tower and tend to his bells.
- You need to bring your tray table to the upright and locked position.
- Paging Mr. Johnson...  paging Mr. Johnson...
- There's a gap in your defensive perimeter
- You may not be afraid of heights, but your zipper sure is
- Elvis has left the building!
- The Buick is not all the way in the garage (or the Mini Cooper - whichever is more appropriate for the occasion)

Dear Norm,

My momma got a new toy.  It's a stink-finder.  It finds invisible stank and stains.  Mostly left by me.

Okay.  

*ALL* of which have been left by me.

So this stink-finder is pretty cool... momma turned off all the lights and we went from room to room waving the blacklight across the carpeted areas.

With the stink-finder in one hand, and a bottle of Nature's Miracle in the other, we found a couple of big spots in the sunroom and a couple of small spots by the front door.

I felt like I was on CSI!  

I think I should leave more spots for momma to find... you know, just so she feels like she got her money's worth on this stink-finder.  ;o)

Dear Harry,

Here are some reasons:

- Can't stick their heads out of Windows XP
- Too difficult to "mark" every website they visit
- Nose and tongue prints mess up the monitor / laptop screen
- Can't help attacking the screen when they hear "You've Got Mail"
- Carpaw Tunnel Syndrome
- Static from the monitor causes their fur to completely cover the screen
- Scratch-n-Sniff hardware / software not available
- Drooling on the keyboard could cause serious electrical problems
- They prefer to play with a squirrel rather than a mouse

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Tell us about your morning routine! Mine is as follows:

First, the clock starts singing and Mom gets up and hits it. Then she comes back to the big bed and lays back down. We repeat this about 9 times. Then Mom finally gets up and looks at me and says, "okay, Sis, time to get up and go potty." My response is usually to streeeeeeeeeeetchhhhhhhh out on the bed and just stare at her. So she goes into the human potty and takes care of her own business. When she comes out she always says, "seriously, Maggs. Time to get up." This time, I yawn. And just look at her. So she gets dressed. Then she goes to the kitchen and gets her lunch from the fridge. And still, I lay stretched on the big bed. Finally, she comes back and says, "it is going to be a LONG day for you if you do not get up and go outside and potty RIGHT NOW." Then, and only then, do I finally get up, jump off the bed, and go to the door. Then I potty, then she leaves. I am DEFINITELY not a morning girl. But I'm cute. BOL!

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/288069">Maggs</a>

Dear Maggs,

OMG, I think my peeps would trade me in for you any day! Awwww, I bet you are just adorable in the mornings... bed-head and all!  ;o)  Hee!  I have a serious case of ear flippage in the mornings.

My morning starts off early:

2:00 AM - Poke momma with my snout.  Gotta go pee

5:30 AM - Poke daddy.  Time to wake up.  Gotta go for walkies

5:35 AM - Alarm goes off.  Snooze button.  Poke daddy.

5:45 AM - Alarm goes off.  Snooze button.  Poke daddy.

5:55 AM - Alarm goes off.  Snooze button.  Poke daddy.

6:05 AM - Alarm goes off.  Daddy *finally* wakes up.

6:10 AM - Walkies.  Pee, Poo, & Chase Cats (optional)

6:20 AM - Get back into bed.

7:50 AM - Last call.  Pee or ceremonial squat.

8:00 AM - Momma leaves for work.  

8:01  AM - Get on the big bed and sleep for the rest of the day.

As you can see, I am an early bird.  My peeps... not so much.  Wanna swap out peeps for a week?  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Mmmm... I love to lick my mommy and daddy (especially when they're stinky).  What is the best height for lickins?  

Sincerely,
Meatball

--

Dear Meaty,

The best height is when your peeps are lounging on the sofa.  If they are laying supine on the sofa, this is the perfect height for face kisses.  

If they are sitting up, you may prefer to lick their hands.

Don't follow my bad example in trying to give face kisses...  the jumping, which leads to narding, which leads to... *ow*.

The skin of my peeps is the most fascinating, enticing flavor I can imagine, and I take every opportunity to savor it.  So should you (with your own peeps, of course)!

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

My parents are mad at me.... evidently I ate something I wasn't supposed to.  What's the fuss all about???  They don't even know what it was (and I'm not tellin').

Sincerely,
Pupperoni

--

Dear Pupperoni,

I don't understand why they're so upset, especially since they didn't know what it was.  

So you ate it.  Big deal.  

I bet it wasn't that good anyway (Or was it?  You can tell me, I promise not to tell).  

And it's not as if they were going to eat it.  

As far as I'm concerned, if *they* aren't going to eat it, it's yours.  :o)

Squeaky toys scare me!!!  When it squeaks, I want to run and hide.  I think it wants to eat me!  How do I make these squeaky monsters stop squeaking???

Warm regards,
Pugsqueek

--

Dear Pugsly,

You have to eat it.  If you don't, the squeaking will never stop.  If you eat it, it will never squeak again.

Bite it.  Tear it.  Chomp it.  Destroy it.

Your peeps expect this of you... it actually makes them happy to keep buying them for you.  At least, that's what I think.  It would break their heart if you *don't* destroy it.

So, squeak on!

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

I love saying that... zazzle zazzle zazzle...  it just tickles my tongue!

OMG, if you haven't ordered from Zazzle yet, now's a great time!  They're selling their customized sheet of 20 stamps for $9.99.

I had considered purchasing some stamps from them when Dogster first partnered with them, but hey... I'm an unemployed doggie, where the heck was I gonna get that kinda money??  

I don't get an allowance, and I'm sure they don't take payment in bones.  But for 1/2 price... I can hock a few squeakie toys and eat cheap dog food for a couple of months.  ;o)

They're having this great stamp sale until tomorrow - Friday, March 2nd!!!  So be sure to order before midnight.  :o)

You can <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/site_updates_arch.php?p=300">read more about it here</a>.

Dear Norm,

I am at 99%!!!  That's after all the get well wishes from my pup pals (especially <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/video/288069/A_message_fortranslated_by_mom">Maggs' most excellent video</a>!), three days of boiled chicken and rice, no pukings, and no excitement.

I'm back to being hard-headed and narding my daddy.

Oh!  And did I mention my momma clipped my nails on me while I was sick?!  Of all the nerve... of course I couldn't fight back, but that is *so* unfair taking advantage of my incapacitated state!  

That's okay though - I got her back with all the dog vomit I spewed throughout the house.  HA!  Take that, momma!

Daisy

P.S.  The only good thing that has come as a result of being sick is that I've gone four weeks with out a bath.  WOooO!  The  stink exuding from my body is so bad, you can see the wavy stink lines emanating from me.  The bad news is... I think it's bath time this weekend.]]></content:encoded>

Dear Pete,

Noo...  I don't get scolded for pee / poo / puke accidents cos they're never intentional.

I was caught red-pawed sleeping on the big bed.  I was all curled up, cozy and warm, when I got rudely evicted!

I'm not allowed on there unless I'm invited (shyeah, right!  You know I am *so* on the bed even as my momma's putting her shoes on to go to work).

The bed is a safe place.  The bed calls softly to me.  "Sleep on me," says the bed.  The bed makes me feel as if I am with my peeps even when my peeps are gone.  It smells like them.  I like that smell.  So I listen.  I submit.  There I will sleep the deepest sleep I can sleep.

Dear Pupperoni,

Yeah, I'm not used to seeing so many ... ME's staring right back at me!  My momma discovered the magic eraser tool in Photoshop.  I'm scared.  Eep!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies, 

In celebration of soiling the kitchen and hallway floors this morning by way of my out-of-stomach experience, I bring you the four types of dog vomit.  It’s an oldie but a goodie. I don’t know the original source of this but it’s pretty well-known to dog lovers.

<u>YELLOW URKA-GURKA</u>
Dog runs around the house and hides under furniture while making a prolonged ‘uuuuurka-guuuuurka, uuurka-guurka’ noise. (This noise is the only thing guaranteed to wake up a true dog lover who is hung over from a post dog-show celebration at 3:30 a.m.) After mad scrambling to capture the dog and drag him outside, the episode ends with an inaudible ten yard slimy yellow froth from the living room rug to the back door.

<u>BLAP DISEASE</u>
Dog exercises hard and (a) eats large mouthfuls of snow (Winter Blap Disease) or (b) drinks a bucket of water (Summer Blap Disease). Within two minutes of returning inside, the dog spews out large amounts of clear slimy liquid while making a distinctive ‘blap’ sound and a sharp percussive noise as it hits the linoleum.

<u>GARKS</u>
Dog suddenly clears his throat with loud and dramatic ‘gggaark, gggark’ noises generally followed by prolonged ‘iiiksss’ and then loud satisfied smacking noises. There is nothing on the rug. Don’t investigate, you don’t want to know.

<u>RALFS</u>
Apropos of nothing, the dog strolls into the dining room and waits till the innocent dinner guests are all watching him. Then, with a single deep gut wrenching ‘raaaalff’ dislodges the entire weeks’ contents of his stomach on the dining room rug.

Variation: Then he eats it.

:o)

Dear Norm,

Ahhhh, there's nothing like a chilly Saturday morning and being snuggled up with my peeps on da bed.  :o)

I had my daddy's arm wrapped around me and my momma giving me neck scitches... I was so happy I grunted.

My momma had never heard that noise come outta me before.

Groans, monkey noises, sighs, and yowls... but not grunties.

I'd twist my head this a-way and that a-way to make sure she scratched every single inch.

The more she scratched, the more I grunted.  :o)   Ahhhh... that's the spot.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Wha'chu like best about your daddy?  I loooooove the way my daddy tastes when I lick his face... all stinky and stuff.  Yum.

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

Dear Norm,

I love the way my daddy tastes too!  He's the funky tasting one out of the bunch.  But what I like best about my daddy?  He lets me give him kisses... RIGHT IN DA FACE!! Everything is fair game except the lips - those are reserved for momma.

My momma never lets me kiss her face... she always squeals and runs away.  But daddy... oh daddy...  I get to lick off every inch of funkitude on his face.  I'm really good at it too.

Another really cool like I like about my daddy is that he's super geeky.  Yow.  I wrote a song about it.  Here it goes (to the tune of Rick James' <i>Super Freak</i>):

That guy is pretty smart now
The boy's a super geek
The kind of boy you read about
In PC Magazine
That dood is pretty nerdy
The boy's a super geek
I really love to nard him
Every time we meet
He's all right, he's all right
That boy's all right with me, yeah
He's a super geek, super geek
He's super geeky, yow.

Thank you, daddy, for your super geeky ways... Top 10 babeeee!

What kinda voodoo did y'all put on me??  ;o)  I'm not at 100% yet, but definitely an improvement over yesterday.  :0)

My momma was so worried about me cos she's never ever seen me sick before in our entire three years together!  She couldn't tell much from the symptoms aside from peeing inside the house (which is highly unusual for me) and sleeping a ton (more than normal).

I've created a <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/02/daisys-version.html">Doggie Pain Scale indicator</a> to help y'all tell your peeps when you're sick or in pain.  :o)

Sincerely,

Dear Norm,

I got to taste... er, I mean chase a cat!  Oh, and I *may* have gotten a nibble in too.

My daddy and I had taken my momma out for lunch at her favorite Chinese restaurant.  After dropping her off at work, we headed home... bellies full and leftovers of fried rice and a spring roll in a take-home box.

It was a nice sunny day, so my daddy decided to work on the truck.  He put the leftovers out in the bed of the truck and walked inside to get his tools.

He *claims* he was only inside for a couple of minutes.

When he came out, a stray C-A-T had jumped into the back of the truck and was noshin' on our leftovers.  

Daddy yelled.

I chased.

The cat ran.

I chased him up the stairs onto the neighbor's back porch.

He tumbled off the side of the stairs.

Then I chased him to the edge of the street and nipped his badonkadonk.

The cat went: RAaaarrrrRRRR!!!!!! and took off down the road.

Daddy was so proud of me!

We surveyed the damage:  almost all the fried rice was gobbled up and half a spring roll was left.

After momma got home, I confirmed that it all happened just the way daddy told her it did... and that he really didn't eat up all the leftovers and blame the stray cat.  ;o)

Dear Sniffers,

You mean the "good" fresh smell that comes after a baby's bottom is wiped clean and powdered, right?

It's been about a week since my last bath, but I've already started to smell Frito-y.  My daddy wiped me down with baby wipes and that seemed to do a pretty good job which lasted for a couple of days.

I'll take the less traumatic wipe downs over baths any day!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay pups, this is for all the non-US doggies out there!

Hey y'all - it's time time again! Please pmail me your address and I'll send in a self-addressed stamped envelope for you to Dogster HQ so they can send YOU some really cool Dogster stickers!

Stuff you can do with your Dogster stickers:
- stick 'em on the dogmobile
- wear 'em on your head
- give 'em to a doggie pal
- use 'em as a temporary bandage
- < your idea here >

Either way, it spreads the Dogster love around! :o)

No deadline for now, but I don't want to wait too long - hopefully I can get at least 10-12 pups interested before I send the envelopes off to HQ!

Dear Harry,

I gnarred on a raw turkey neck yesterday.  Oh. My. Dog.  It was *that* good.

Not beef-knuckle-bone-good... but pretty darn good.

It was meaty!  And crunchy!

I'll take this over kibble any day.

It was my Valentine's Day present from my peeps!

It didn't make me <i>as</i> wild as I was after eating beefy meatses, but I was reduced to being a love hound in my daddy's arms last night.

Dear Pupperoni,

Just this morning, my daddy forbid my momma from getting me anymore toys.  He says that everytime he steps his foot down, he hears a "eeeeeeeeugghhhh!!!!" cos I have squeakie toys splayed out everywhere, along with their respective latex bits and their fluffy un-stuffings.  Plus momma just got me six new tennis balls yesterday, which are all over the house.

Momma said that maybe they could train me to put my toys away.  Daddy just snorted cos daddy doesn't even put his toys away when he's done playing with them.

He says she can buy all the outfits she wants for me, but absolutely NO. MORE. TOYS.  Outfits?!  Noooooooo outfits!  Me want toys!  Grrrrrr!

Daddy is so mean.

He did say though... I am allowed to get my one free toy from PetSmart, but that is IT.  

Whatta way to treat a girl on Valentine's Day.  *hrmph*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Eeeep!  I hate the vacuum... every time it comes out of the closet, I run and hide in my crate.  How do you deal with this hideous beast?!?!

Sincerely,
Nibbler

--

Dear Nibbler,

Whenever the vacuum cleaner comes outta the closet... it is bad news.  The vacuum wants to eat me and eat my bed and eat my toys!  I know my momma *thinks* she's controlling the vacuum, but I think it's trying to eat her too.  It keeps trying to shake free of her grasp.

I am not afraid of the vacuum, but I have to stick around and make sure it doesn't eat my momma.  So I watch... and I wait.  But if it comes too close to me, I have to retreat to a safe distance... but I'm still watching and waiting, you know... for my momma's sake.

The vacuum gives up after a while though.  If it hasn't found anything to eat, it goes back into the closet and waits for another day to attack.  I'll be ready.

Dear Maggie Mae,

Do I only get to pick one?  Hmmm...  that's gonna be tough!

My main squeeze is <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/404546">Finlay</a>.  Younger guys are so much easier to train.  Plus he's so cute and fuzzy... in a long-legged, gangly sorta way.

I am also one of <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/photos/one.php?i=16108&pi=2120197">Dexter's</a> lady friends - my name is on his heart!  Does that make me an honorary floozy?  W00T!

Then there's <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/292106">Nicholas</a>, whose rockin' butt and bi-colored tongue are *so* hawt!  When he reads his Canine Manifesto to me, I just swoon.

I, of course, have no chance at all with <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/175266">Quinn The Jackal</a> (he's way too hawt for me), but a girl can always dream, can't she?

I've got a crush on <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/296339">Rajah Q.</a> (who is like, da bomb, fo' shizzle), <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/381287">Cooper</a> (who is the savior of jellyfish),  and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/338423">Elvis</a> (who is anything *but* a hound dog - those ears just make my heart go a-flutter).  I don't know if any of these hawt guys are taken, so I apologize in advance to their chicky-poos if I've got a crush on your boyfriend.

What do all my menz have in common?  They've got brains in addition to their handsome good looks!  :o)  Don't believe me?  Check out their diaries!

Dear Puppy,

Yup... evidently my momma could see wavy stink lines comin' offa me, the stank was *that* bad.

So I got the usual scrub and rinse down.

I was not amused.

But I got to sleep in the big bed...  :0)

Hoo boy... lookit those bags underneath your eyes!  Whacha doing up so early on a Saturday morning??  Don'cha know Saturday mornings were meant for sleeping in?!  

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

We all got worken up by Lucy... my next door neighbor.  

Lucy barks like this:  BaroOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoroorooroo!!! 

Lucy *thinks* she's a sighthound, but she's more of a sniffhound.

Lucy doesn't like cats.

After 10 minutes of baroorooroo'ing, momma and I got up from our warm, snugglie bed and went to the front door to investigate.  We thought that a cat must've been prowling the neighborhood (and if so, I *so* wanted to get in on the action too!).

We didn't see any cat.  We didn't see anything remotely animal-like.  We all scratched our heads (well, momma scratched mine for me... it felt sooooo good).

We looked in the direction where Lucy was baroo'ing at.

Wait...

Is that a...

...plastic grocery bag?  Blowing in the wind?  Caught in the fence?  Behind the bush... ah HA!

Silly Lucy.  I barked at her, trying to convey the fact that she was losing her voice barkin' at the big bad ol' plastic grocery bag, but it fell on deaf ears.

Whatev. 

We're all going back to bed now.  *sigh*

I ate MEATS off a raw knucklebone.  It was awesome.

How can I get the ball away from Zoe? She hates to share. Is there a constructive approach I can use?

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/292106">Nicholas</a>

--

Dear Nicholas,

You must offer something Zoe would value highly in exchange for the ball... can you by any chance secure a <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/292103/diary/Walk/265935">Bamboo Lemur</a> to trade off with her?  I bet she would love one for her collection!

If not, then go the King Solomon route... threaten to cut the ball in half.  Hopefully she'll choke and beg you not to and allow you to keep the ball.  And well... if she says to chop it up... at least you get half of the ball?  :o)

Dear Pupperoni,

I'm with you!  The cold pinches and pains my dainty princess paws!  *whine*  And although the air is fresh, crisp, and clean... I can't sniff out any good spots to dump on.

So I prance.

And I sniff.

But my poo doesn't wanna make its appearance into the cold, cold world.

It reminds me of a poem recited by Sir Percy from <i>The Scarlet Pimpernel</i> by Baroness Emmuska Orczy:

<i>They seek him here
They seek him there
They seek the poopy everywhere...

Is it in heaven?
Or is it in hell?

That demmed elusive Pooper-nel.</i>

Dear Daisy,

Word on the street is that you've been seen grazing like a cow.  What gives?

Warmest Regards,
Poopy

--

Dear Poopy,

It is true that while I find myself grazing lately, it isn't to chow down on mother nature's all-you-can-eat salad bar like some common cow.  No, I have recently become a poopy perfectionist.  While my nose is on the ground and my tail in the air, I am in fact, in search of the perfect poopy spot.  Like a surfer always on the lookout for the perfect wave, I too seek the zen of the perfect poop.

It drives my peeps crazy, as I search for the elusive perfect poopy spot.

*snif* *snif* I look at mommy.
"That one has a big stick nearby.  That's no good."

I wander around a bit... *snif* *snif*
"That one is too grassy.  It would tickle my bum."

I search onward...  *snif* *snif*
"That one doesn't have enough grass.  There isn't enough greenery to properly set off my poop art."

My nose returns earthward...  *snif* snif*
"That one is too wet.  I might be bum splashed when my download finished!"

Mommy and Daddy begin to look impatient...  

Do not rush the artist, my poopies are not to be dispatched prematurely or wantonly.

 *snif* snif*
"That spot is too dry...  Some dust or bits might fly up and stick to my bum!"

I prowl around like a wolf on the hunt...  *snif* *snif*
"What's this??  Could it be?  Nooo...  the moss is growing on the wrong side of the tree next to me.  That's not right."

Mommy and Daddy are freezing like pupscicles!  Sorry peeps, perfection takes time!  We all must make sacrifices for our art.

*snif* *snif*
"I think a bird was here recently.  I don't want people thinking that I associate with those things.  They're not even allowed to land in the yard." *humpf*

Mommy and Daddy are not amused.  They seem to be tapping their feet  

*Soooorry* Mommy and Daddy!!! 

The search continues for a fitting location for my newest performance art piece.  

*snif* *snif*
"Wait a minute!  Could it be?  The color and contrast is good...  Just the right amount of clover!"

I turn around in the spot a couple of times to test for proper soil consistency and firmness.

"Yes, yes, so far so good.  My paws sink in just enough for a comfy fit."

I look up, the clouds part and a ray of sunshine hits the spot I've been eyeing.  Is that a choir of angels I hear?  Now is my chance!

I perform the curly-q spirograph poopy, while a shaft of light shines where my proud new grumpy now gleams.

I look up at Mommy and Daddy.

"See Mommy and Daddy, wasn't that spiritual moment worth all the wait???"

Their teeth chatter in reply...

Some people just don't appreciate art in its truest form.

Warmest Regards,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I  will eat any type of cheese and it all tastes good to me...  is there really that much of a difference between all cheeses?  It all goes in one hole and out the other.  

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Well, there is cheese.  And there is <i>cheese</i>, a la fromage.  The latter being the ultra smelly, overdramatic, excessively emotional or clichéd acting of Jean Claude Van Damme in <i>Bloodsport</i>.

Yes, doggies.  I was forced to watch this cheesefest of roundhouse kicks, puppy-faced emoting, and our hero wearing a big, shoulder-padded, yellow blazer.  Oh, and he did his "signature" splits a total of seven times.  We counted.

So you see, not all cheese is the same.  Most cheese is great and should be shared with all.  Fromage, such as this, is better savored in small doses in the privacy of your own home.

Dear Puppy,

No need to be snarky.  :P

If you must know, I've been in training.  The cat's been helping me train for competitive eating.

Yesterday, I ate two whole cups of food... in one sitting.

Today, I went back for seconds... then thirds.  Then the cat came near my food, and I <i>had</i> to chow down some more.

I've still got my ultra-long supermodel legs, but I'm starting to lose my gaunt, ethiopian hound look.  I'm actually lookin' pretty good cos I'm finally gettin' some meats on my bones!  :o)

I'm gonna hit 25 lbs... or bust!  (And bust I will... I sure hope my sticks can support the weight).

Dear Turd,

I had a fabulous birthday!  My peeps stayed home with me all day, I got to eat cheese, I got a bone-shaped cake (made out of meats, iced with yogurt!), I slept and snuggled up under the fleecy blankets and leaned right up against my peeps.  It was heavenly.

Thank you so much for all the pups (<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/345061">Izzy</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/318181">Maggie Mae</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/175266">Quinn</a> & <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/175221">Brandy</a> & <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/329062">Hobo</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/301809">Mingus</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/296339">Rajah Q</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/356323">Kayla</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/109511">Snowy</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/381287">Cooper</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/140078">Lyle</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/318500">Sugar Danielle</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/359842">Chester</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/298441">Kelpie</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/198227">Sailor</a>, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/245327">Spot</a>, and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/338423">Elvis</a>) who sent me stars, rosettes, and birthday pmail wishes!!!  :o)  Y'all are the schweetest for helping me celebrate my peep-designated birthday.

I also got a <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/02/yup-its-my-birthday.html">singing chicken-gram</a>!  He squaked his way through the Happy Birthday song... I had never heard a chicken sing before.  It was quite an event.  I promptly chomped his beak off to celebrate.

Ahhh... and now to rest up for the weekend.  :o)

Dear Norm,

Yay me!  I had made some <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/273366/diary/Your_daily_dose_of_doggie_wisdom/259579">birthday wishes a few weeks ago</a>, and Mother Nature sure came through in the form of snow and ice...  thus giving my peeps a whole day to spend with ME!  On my birthday!  WOoOooT!  

I know, it's only one day... but I'm doing a snow dance for tomorrow as well, which would give us super duper long weekend!  :o)

Daisy

P.S.  Since my peeps don't know *exactly* when my birthday is, February 1st is the designated day of celebration... but since exact date is unknown, I say the whole <i>month</i> of February is up for celebration!!!]]></content:encoded>

Dear Harry,

I would invite <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2007/01/great-minds.html">Albert Einstein</a> over for dinner.  I hope he likes cheese and canned dog food... he doesn't look like he's a picky eater.  

Why Albert Einstein?  Well... I think he would find me a dazzling dinner companion.  And plus I think he would welcome doggie kisses (and he looks like he would taste nice and funky).

Heavens no... no page for that... that... <i>cat</i>.  *putooey*  Who wants to keep up with his daily kills and gift-vomits he leaves for all to step on?

No...  the cat, shall remain silent cos I hear enough of his yowls on a daily basis.  But, I will ask daddy if he wants the cat to have his own Catster page (cos momma sure ain't gonna do it), but I fear all you would hear would be crickets chirping and then, you'd see an occasional tumbleweed blow by...  ;o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Do your Peeps ever share their food with you? I'm allowed to eat veggies and fruits that are on the dog-approved list, sometimes meats, and every once in a great while,...Cheetohs. :D How about you?

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/288069/">Maggs</a>

P.S. Dog, that car wash thing sounds AWFUL. Mom says she's gonna have to try it. MEAN!

--

Dear Maggs,

OMG...  do not let your momma take you through a car wash.  That would be totally not cool.  

My peeps give me apples every once in a while... I love apples!  They share cheeses and yogurts with me too... well, that's not <i>entirely</i> true.  I have my own stash of cheese and yogurt that is labelled for Daisy consumption (sometimes I have to even share it with the cat - oh, the nerve!!).

What they don't share, I sneak by way of hoovering around their eating area.  I've gotten schnibbles of popcorn, Doritos, and other snacky delicacies.

Oh, and I absolutely *love* taco night... cos my daddy always drops cheese and meat bits when he eats tacos.  And me?  I am *so* there... right by his side.  :o)

Daisy

P.S.  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/288069/diary/Maggies_musings">My pal Maggie May</a> is today's Diary Pick of the Day!! Yay Maggs!!!!!  :0)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Dogster HQ,

It's almost Valentine's Day...  will new rosettes be revealed soon?  If so, how many?  And when?  And what will they look like?   :o)  Curious doggies wanna know.  Hee hee!

Hmm, so what would make really great valentines rosettes?

Hearts?

Kissy lips?

Cupid?

Chocolates?

Kissy lips would have to be changed to a kissy tongue since us doggies love to slobber over our loved ones.  And chocolates are toxic to doggies, so I guess those are out... unless they're made of carob?  

How 'bout a carob flavored pupcake with cream cheese icing on top?  Hmmm, how 'bout making me one of these for my woofday, momma??  :o)

Dear Norm,

I gots me some pancakes.  Buttermilk pancakes.  Homemade, from scratch, buttermilk pancakes.  They were goooooooood.  *drool*

Now I gotta tell ya, they haven't always tasted this good.  Why... just last week, my momma botched the recipe and we ended up with super-gooey pancakes.  Although not suitable for human consumption... they were entirely edible for doggies.  

Who's a doggie?  Who wants a pancake?  Me!  Me!  Ooh, let it be me?  :o)

So I got me a soggy pancake - a whole one, all to myself!  Yum!

This week's batch of pancakes tasted much better.  But since they weren't gooey, I only got a nibble.

Momma, please screw up some more recipes so that I may reap the fruits of your failures?  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Whacha doing up so early on a Saturday morning?  I heard you got to go on a car ride today... where'd ya go?

Sincerely,
Leaping Larry

--

Dear Larry,

OMG, we went on a car ride... yes.  But, it was... to... the... V-E-T!!  *groan*

Don't get me wrong, I love going to my vet's office cos everyone pays me LOTS of attention and says what a pretty doggie I am, and how sweet I am, and how cute I am (and it's all true, you know, cos the people who work at my vet's office are so very awesome).

We arrived in the parking lot a little before 9:00 AM, I got on the leash and I pranced into the lobby of the vet's office.  Ta DA!  I'm HEEEEEERE!  It's me!  Daisy!  Pet me!  Love me!

The nice lady at the reception area gushed at my cuteness.  She has some greyhounds too and invited me over to run with them!  Then she came out and pet me!  Oooh... I gave her kisses too.

Then our nice vet tech came out and I got weighed on the scale.  I was 23.7 lbs!  WOo hoO!  That's a 1.5 lbs since last year!  I got to give her some kisses before we went into the examining room.

Once inside the examining room, she checked my heart, breathing, and temperature (the nice way).  I was thinking to myself, hey... this isn't too bad, I can handle... <i>what the #$&^#*@!?</i>

I got poked...

...in the badonkadonk.  My rumpus.  My hiney.  My tushie.  My poopshoot!  Oh the indignity.

By the time I looked around, it was over.  

Oh, but it wasn't over.

They brought in the big guns this time.  My vet!  He came in and checked me over - eyes, ears, nose, etc.  I got poked a couple of times with needles, and I didn't like that, but I was a good girl and didn't snarl anyone, even though I <i>really</i> wanted to.

Oh, other than getting poked in the hinder, they got the other end too!  They sprayed some concoction up up my noser too.  Double barrel'd!  *sigh*

My poopy report came back negative for wormies.  And my bloodwork came back negative for heartworm.  My vet gave me an A+!  He gave me some treats.  All was forgiven.

We went back out to the reception area and there were some people out there *and* a CAT!  Oooh, I made monkey noises galore, but my peeps wouldn't let me go sniff it out.  I got some more lovins from another vet tech *and* the cat lady.   Hee hee!  I was lappin' it all up.

Then a couple more doggies came in, and I was dying to go meet and greet, but my peeps kept me in my sit/stay position.  *sigh*  

We finally left the vet's office, my daddy's wallet a little lighter, but hey... I'm totally worth it, right?  Yeah.  My peeps think so.  :o)

We went to the park afterwards, and I got to run around and sniff geese poopies!  My daddy and I played stick a bunch and basically I ran around like a wild woman.

*yawn* And now it's nappy time.  That's <i>way</i> too much excitement for one doggie on an early Saturday morning.  Luckily it's just once a year.

Daisy

I know a lot of doggies' pages are looking more jacked-up than Britney's nastiee rats-nesty hair extensions (and yeah, that's pretty bad), but it'll all work out.  I can appreciate how much time and effort y'all put into your pages.  Me too!  :o)  Don't be a grumpus.

HQ is working their tails off making Dogster better, sleeker...  and change is good, doggies!  :o)  Embrace it!  Be flexible!  Be bendy!  Be twisty!  ;o)  Hee hee!

Why are you shakin' over there in the corner?  I don't think any thunder or lightning is scheduled in the forecast.  You look stricken with fear... what's up, girl?

Sincerely,

Dear Pete,

My peeps took me through a car wash last night.  At first, I thought *I* was going to be washed through the car wash, but that was just extreme paranoia on my part.

I was okay with the foamies being sprayed on the car.  The foamies were nice and quiet as they splattered against the glass and metal.

But then the high powered water pressure sprayer came around to rinse... OMG!  *hide*  That monster encircled the car THREE times!  I had to dodge around on the backseat of the car everytime it came close to me.  There was no place to hide!

Finally, it was over... the car was clean, I didn't soil the backseat, and my daddy got his $5 worth of entertainment out of the whole ordeal... he even shush'd my momma when she tried asking him a question cos he was too enraptured with the lazer wash and didn't want to be disturbed.  :P  He said she was 'talking through the show'.  Uh huh.  You're a dork, daddy.    ;o)

Wowie, I've been slack!  I blame my momma for being too busy to browse through the random doggie generator on Dogster to find me a pic of the week.  But finally, I've got her back on track.  

Allow me to present <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/338261">Geta</a>...  my dogster pic of the week.  :o)  I love the tongue on lollipop action!  Which reminds me... momma has a stash of caramel apple pops somewhere in the pantry.  Gotsta go and sniff 'em out!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I know you love sleepin' with your peeps... but when you're not allowed on the big bed, where is your second favorite place to sleep?

Warm regards,
Pupperoni

--

Dear Pupperoni,

I love my doggie beds...  they're all over the place, so wherever the peeps are, I follow them into the same room and lay on my doggie bed there.

BUT!

There are certain conditions that must be in place for me to sleep on my doggie bed.

Firstly,  it must be flat.

I hate it when it gets all plumped up and cushy.  I've worked hard to get it flattened down and engraved with my ass groove.

Secondly, it must be smellies.  

And not the good smellies that my momma likes either.  NOo... I don't want my linens freshly laundered smelling like a tropical ray of sunshine or a snuggle bear.  I like my stench.  Let me wallow in it.

And thirdly, it must be free of blankets, toys, or other foreign objects.  

I'm like the princess and the pea.  Except the pea is a squeakie toy.  Or bone.  And well... yes, I put it there myself, but momma...  you're the one with opposable thumbs - please move it out of the way for me.  :o)

But yes, I do love my doggie beds.  They haven't had a laundering in a while, so they're good and smellies.  Just the way I likes 'em!

I love being tickled in my chest!  Where do you love to be tickled / scratched / massaged the most?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

I love me some neck scratchies, especially around and under my collar.  It's hard for me to scratch this area myself... but when my momma scratches this area, I am in heaven!  I often stretch my neck up or tilt it to one side to give her better access.

Petting, massaging or stroking doggies has been proven to have a beneficial effect on the blood pressure of humans.  So as well as being pleasurable for us doggies, it's good for your peeps too!  So toss out the Diovan and adopt a doggie to pet and love-on today!  :o)

Dear Harry,

Hrmm... I think I got this cut on my head from chasing that rabbit the other night.  I was minding my own business, out for a midnight pee... when all of a sudden I saw a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye.  The chase was on!!!  There was a wascally wabbit in our yard and it had to be eliminated!

My daddy didn't know what got into me... just that I took off running, but then he figured it out when he saw the rabbit scampering full force across the neighbor's lawn in his attempt to escape my jaws.

Momma only saw my boo-boo the other night and freaked out!  Sheeeesh, mom!!  It's just a small cut.  She was giving me head scritchies when she felt a scab on my head... upon closer examination, she saw that it was bleeding.  OMG.  She almost fainted.  Whatta wimp!  Momma's freaky that way.  I'm a doggie, mom!  I'm prone to get into smellies and ouchies.  :o)  Chill!

Dear SS,

My momma gave me a frozen beef knuckle bone to gnaw on yesterday.  OMG.  It was soooooo good.  It brought out the wild doggie in me.  I gnawed and chomped and scraped and chewed for a good 30 minutes.  

And then I gnawed some more.

The raw meats brought out the wild hound in me...  I went absolutely crazeeeee playing with my squeakies.  Everytime a squeakie was thrown, I would pounce on it and give it a ferocious death-shake before it had to be torn from my jaws.  

Me like the meastes.

It is goot.

More meatses for my bell-ay, please.  :o)

Dear Norm,

My daddy brought home this really smelly (in a good way, I think) food the other night.  The moment he walked in the door, I jumped up to try and give him his usual kiss on the lips, but the bag in his hand distracted me with its strange smell.  He called it "tie food" - whaaaa..?!?!  Oh... OH!  *Thai* food.  Hee hee!  Thanks for clearing that up, momma.  :o)

Then he started bringing out all these take-out boxes from the bag and ohhhhhh babee!  It smelled good!  There was some masaman curry, some pad thai, some sticky rice... yummers!!  I was a-droolin' and a-smackin' my lips.  I could even hear the cat downstairs yowlin' for a bite.  

But did I get any of this wonderfully smelly food????  NOoo!  I got my *regular* food in my *regular* bowl in my *regular* spot.

I tried to get a good lick or two in on daddy's face when he reached down to pet me, but all I got was a good whiff of the smellies they were eating.

Daddy spoils momma with yummy Thai food and all I get is kibble??  SO unfair!  *pout*  Hrmph!  You know I'll give anything smelly a go... I'm not picky.  If it's smelly, I should get my fair share, don't you think?

Dear Maggie Mae,

I would *love* to have more squeakies!  I have enough to spread throughout one or two rooms of the house, but I need more so they can be in *every* room in the house.  :o)

Oh!  And more cheese please.  <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.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000593.php">See the look on that kid's face</a>?  That's what I'm talkin' about.  :o)

Hmmm... and more time with the peeps would be nice.  I would love for them to stay home all day so the pack is together.  Guess I should be asking for some lottery tickets, in that case.  :o)

Dear Barkley,

Lucy, my next door doggie pal, got a new doggie sister.  We think Oreo is her name, but we can't be sure since we never see her much outside...  she is a JRT mix.  She's pretty cute, but a dang li'l barky thang though.

One time, she had the gall to bark at me in her little yippy bark... and she wasn't even outside.  Boy-oh-boy!!  It made me mad, it made me mean mad... until I was one big ball of mean mad meaness!  My hacklies went up in full effect.  I barked my big doggie bark.  Then I strutted up and down the grassy area by the fence that separates our two properties.  I was doing *serious* patrolling and securing of the perimeter.

Thank you so much for the <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://bp0.blogger.com/_hmWelzotSbw/Rayu8uXkJnI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/kUspdhTrdJM/s400/mario_ball_sm.jpg">Mario Ball</a> from your Happy Meal.  I re-discovered it, wholly intact, beneath the dresser back in December while Jason was moving the furniture around in order to paint the walls.

Mario Ball has provided many days, nay... weeks of utter chewing pleasure.  I am happy to report that Mario Ball spent most of the holiday season as the sole object of my affection. 

At first, I chewed his nose off.  Then, it was the rest of his face, until he was half a shell of the ball he used to be.

Eventually, his end came as itty bitty red vinyl scraps were found splayed throughout the bedroom, hallway, kitchen, and sunroom floors. 

Alas, his demise is a sad and painful one, but he was thoroughly enjoyed in life.  Mario Ball will be missed.  May his many bits rest in peace.

Dear Pupperoni,

I still get my morning walks with daddy, and although it's pitch black out, I can still chase the neighborhood cats.  Daddy has problems reporting on my poo status cos he can't see in the dark... and let's face it, no one wants a flashlight shining on their hiney while they are busy busting a grumpy.  

Momma and I still play stick in the evenings cos I've got some serious doggie infravision goin' on!  Whoo-eee!  Momma toss a stick into the blackness of the backyard, I'll tear off after it, and come back with a big grin and the stick ready for more.  :o)

My resolutions for the new year include:

- Eat more
- Annoy the cat less
- Nard less doods

I got weighed last week, and I have reached 23 lbs!  Now just to keep it on...

The cat thing?  Well, it doesn't *seem* like he minds when I sniff his butt...

The jumping and narding and the *ouch* bend over thing?  I haven't narded anyone yet this year... but it's only January.  :o)

Brrrrrr!  Winter is finally upon us... after all those great days of warmth and sunshine, the bitter cold has arrived.  How do you keep warm at night??

Sincerely,
Pupperoni

Dear Pupperoni,

Brrrr is RIGHT!  I have fleecey blankets I sleep on, and when I'm inclined to, I will allow my peeps to roll me up - doggie burrito style, with just my snout pokin' out - in the fleecey blankets.  

But my favorite way to stay warm is to sleep between my peeps on da bed.  When that doesn't happen, I go *under* the bed.  My peeps don't like me doin' that, but what can they do?  Oh right... put me *on* the bed then, peeps!!

Oh, and yes, I smell a bath coming on... tonight.  *sigh*

But it's not all bad... I will definitely get to be on the bed tonight.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Don't you think the period after Christmas is better than the before Christmas part??  I mean, I know the Christmas photo sessions and all are painful, but after Christmas... it's smooth sailing until February (when Valentine's Day hits).

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

I'm not sure after Christmas is necessarily better than before Christmas cos of the 50% off sales.  True, there are lots of treats and toys at 50% off to be had, but does my momma buy those items?  Noooo!  She buys sweaters.  And at 50% off, that means twice the amount of sweater buying.  *sigh*

I'll post pics later...  for now, I am going to take those sweaters, chew 'em up, and hide under the bed.

Dear Harry,

I love it that I am able to keep a history of my day to day antics!  I know I must live a pretty boring life sometimes, but momma finds it entertaining to record every little (embarrassing) thing about me.  *groan*  She figures that one day I'll be gone... and she'll have something to look back on to give her warm fuzzies.  :o)

I love reading other doggie's diaries too!  It's so cool to get a peek into other doggie's (more interesting) lives.  ;o)    

My diary is the story of my life.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I went dumpster divin' last night and got caught red-pawed!  *sigh*  Have you ever been caught doing something you're not supposed to be doing?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

I've been caught sleeping on the big bed when no one's home.  Sleeping in the nice, big, cushy, pillow-topped bed the peeps sleep on is *way* better than sleeping on my nice, big, cushy, pillowy bed on the floor.  

How'd I get caught?  No, it wasn't the doggie cam that tipped 'em off.  Nor was it the snitchy cat.  It was almost the perfect crime, but I got sloppy.

So...  Momma noticed how good I smelled last night.  

It's been about a week and a half since my bath, but with the freakishly warm weather, I've been running around outside, kicking up mud, dirt, and all kinds of nasties.  

Momma takes a closer sniff at me.  

Hmmm... she looks puzzled.

I just give her an innocent doggie smile.

Momma takes another big whiff off the top of my head.

Ahhh HA!  She notices that I smell like... like... Febreeze!

(Momma has taken to Febreezin' the bed every morning).

Drat!  I've been caught!

But hey, I'll take the Febreezin' any day over a full blown bath!  :o)

Sincerely,
Blinkie

--

Dear Blinkie,

Mmmm, cheeese!  *drool*  I love all kinds of cheese - all the kinds I've tried so far, that is.  Plain ol' cheddar is always good... and the smokey gouda makes me so crazy, I'll go through my entire repertoire of tricks without being asked to do so.  Hee hee!

I hate having to eat my cheese when the cat is around though... cos he might steal my cheesey bits, so I tend to gobble them up without chewing on them.  I prefer to nibble on the cheese and let the flavor explode on my tastebuds, but with that darned cat around, I cannot afford to savor my cheese.  :o(  

But!  I do get cheese (and peanut butter) in my Kong in the mornings, so I am left to enjoy these goodies at my leisure.  :o)

I am a spunky li'l pup...  and my mommie is concerned that I will never calm down.  Do you have any advice for her?

Sincerely,
Meatie

--

Dear Meatie,

Tell your momma to relax...  spazzy pups do indeed get calmer as they get older.  Just take a look at me!  ;o)  My momma couldn't get me to stay calmly beside her on the couch cos  I could not sit still for one second - I either had to be playing or running or chewing on something.  Plus I have always been a bit of an independent pup... wanting to sleep on my own bed and have my own space.

She loves it now that the older I get, the more of a love hound I've become.  I will snuggle with her for as long as she'll let me.  In fact, I'm the one who gets cranky if she moves too much or gets up from the couch.  ;o)  Hee hee!

Dear Puppy,

What I missed most???  Definitely her ability to give me the most awesomest neck scratchies evah.  Daddy tried to give me neck scratchies, but the fingers on his man-hands were just too big!  Momma has the ability to make me grin when she gives me neck scratchies...  from the side, you can actually see the corners of my mouth actually tip up into a smile!  I love your clever, clever fingers, momma!  :o)  Now scratch me scruffles some more, please!  :o)

Dear Nosey,

There were two little redneck kids loitering in our neighbors yard, so I let out my big doggie bark:  WROOOOOOF!

And the hackles went up.

And the ears went up.

And the tail curled up.

And the barking continued...

... for a good 10 minutes until they left the neighbor's yard.

I guess I'm just getting ornery in my old age!  ;o)  Hee hee!

Dear Maggs,

Yay!  Momma's back - safe and sound!  My inner monkey was unleashed when I saw her walking towards the car at the airport.  I made monkey noises galore!  And then, I was so wrapped up in the excitement, I paused... unsure of what to do with myself... then I threw in a big ol' excited bark too!

Daddy says he's never heard monkeying of that kind before.  :o)

I got to lick her a bit... the airport stench on her was tastieeee!

Gotta go... gonna lick her some more!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Momma & Daisy,

I bought something for you and hound today at Home Depot.  I just saw it when looking for other stuff.  So there is a little two way valve that sits between the shower head and the pipe that the shower head screws in to.  So there is a place for the water to go to the shower head and another hookup and...   it has host thingie that hooks up to it... and a little power nozzle like what you see on a sink.  It is supposed to be for washing shower walls, but I thought it would be great for giving the hound a bath.  She hates having the cup poured on her.

Daddy

Dear Daddy,

You call that a GIFT?!  :P  Either way, it still means bath time regardless of whether the water comes outta the shower or outta the bucket.  Ugh!

So of course I got a bath before we went to get momma at the airport.  Whatta way to ring in the new year!  *sigh*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I heard that you and your daddy have been working really hard and have a special surprise for your momma when she comes home tomorrow!  Can you tell me what it is?  You can whisper it to me, I'm good at keeping secrets!  :o)

Sincerely,
Darren Dawg

Dear Darren,

Daddy has been busy renovating the bathrooms - replacing vanities and mirrors... and painting.  Oh my dog, all the paint fumes are making us a little loopy here, but it's all good.  The bathroom walls look great, and our hallway is starting to look less old-ladyish cos daddy covered up all those nasty yellow fleur-de-lis patterns the previous owner *hand-painted* on the walls.  Dude, *so* not cool.

I've been busy supervising daddy and making sure he's doing a good job.  I've also had to keep an eye on Uncle Dick when he comes over to help.  I have to make sure he gets enough kisses and licks when he takes his break.

I am one poopered puppy, I tell ya!  I can't wait to see momma's face when she sees all the awesome work daddy's done.  :o)

Now I don't want y'all to think I'm holdin' out on passing out rosettes, but after the slow trickle of all the new Christmas rosettes, I want to make sure I have a full selection to choose from when I fire out those rosettes to y'all for New Years.  :o)

With the weather being so warm and all, what have you been up to in your neck of the woods?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

Dear Puppy,

Hmmm, well, there were about 1/2 dozen or so deer one early morning that all sprinted across the woods past our back yard!

I ran out to the woods, but not too far (just within the poo drop zone).

Daddy said that my hackles were up big time!  The big doggy bark and the meeeean sounding growl came out too!

[daddy's re-enactment]  WOOF!  URRRRRRRRRRRRRR!  WOOF!

Hrmm... that sounds about right.  :o)

Dear Harry,

That would be so awesome if they did!!  :o)  Hmmm... lesse, what kinda New Year rosettes could they have...?

A party hat?

Baby new year?

Streamers and confetti?

Ooh... how 'bout a glass o' bubbly?  (or is that not family friendly?)

A big ol' 2007 on a ball like on Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve?

I dunno... I have some pretty lame ideas for New Years rosettes,  but I know HQ will come up with some better ones!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Woo hoo!  I heard you made a daring escape yesterday!  What the heck happened?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

Dear Norm,

Well, it wasn't *that* daring... my daddy opened the door and I ran out to the backyard to bust a grumpy.  I noticed that daddy didn't follow me out, so being the smart doggie that I am, I knew I had free rein of my destiny for the next 10 minutes!

I heard my daddy whistling for me, but I paid no heed.  I ran into the woods, and I was fast on the trail of something smelly... sniffing and snorting and snuffling with a vengeance.

Then, I *think* heard my daddy calling me with his stern voice, but I can't be sure cos the jingle of the tags on my collar drowned out that sound.

Still snuffling and snorting, I gallopped all throughout the woods.

Ut oh, what's that?  I heard my daddy whistling for me, so I made some last minute sniffings and started to head back.

My daddy could hear faint jinglies in the forest, but he still couldn't see me.  Eventually, he said that the jinglies got louder and finally he saw a small, but fast moving yellow dart rocketing through the forest.

I ran up to my daddy, plopped my butt down on the ground,  my chest all puffed out, my eyes electrified, one ear floppin' down, and grinned madly at him.

The weather's been so freakin' warm, it's almost like I've got spring fever!  :o)

Daisy

How was your Christmas?  Did Santy Paws leave lots of presents under the tree for you?  :o)

Sincerely,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Santa left some gingerbread mailmen and gingerbread cats in my Christmas stocking as well as some carob cookies and some puppy snack mix.

I sniff a couple of sweaters in the boxes momma sent in the mail, but luckily the torturous event of being fitted will have to wait until she gets back.

Poor daddy though... he had a pretty rough Christmas.  With momma being gone and all, he also didn't get very many gifts this year.  :o(  The redneck brother & wife, after ripping into their mountain of Christmas presents, wrote him a check for $25.  Gee, thanks!  I appreciate the thought and effort that went into your gift.  :P

That's okay though, I heard that Santy Paws left some nastee poo-shaped coals in their stockings this year.  ;o)

Dear Puppy,

Tee hee!  I can't help it.  Momma's not around and I don't feel like behavin'.  :P

Last night, I refused to bust a grumpy when my daddy let me out.  I just kinda stood out on the front porch steps, looked around, and sniffed for momma.

So back in I went.

Three revolving door attempts later and daintily picking my way through the backyard, I executed a class one download.

Daddy was frustrated with me.

*sigh*

Sorry, daddy!  But you know, when I'm upset, my poo gets upset too and it doesn't always feel like making an appearance, I guess.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Mr./Ms. ' mice elf ',

We have unsucessfully tried many varieties of cheese and peanut butter to lure you out of hiding.  

Evidently these attempts at your unveiling have proved to be fruitless.

Please tell me what you would like?  Some whine with your cheese?  

*whine*  

That is definitely do-able.  :o)

Are you doing ok?  Is your daddy taking good care of you while your momma is gone? 

Warm regards,
Pupperoni

Dear Pupperoni,

Awww, thanks for your concern!  I am doing okay with just daddy around.  He's really busy taking care of everything that my momma did, so he doesn't have time to play with me as much as momma, but I'm managing.  I guess.  *sigh*

On the bright side, daddy's sniffer's broken, so I am parading around with amazing doggie stench!  :o)  It's pretty awesome cos momma's not here to sniff me out with her super-sensitive olfactory nerves.  Seriously.  She could sniff me out even if I were two rooms away.

Hmmm... I wonder if she can smell me from Vancouver?  *runs and hides*

Dear Maggs,

My momma won't be back for a while...  :o(  But we will be ringing in the New Year together!

Since she's got *way* too much time on her hands, she's been perusing doggie stuff online.  I think I heard her tell my daddy that she's got some packages coming in the mail and for him to keep an eye out for them.  Maybe it's something for me!!!?

I'll keep y'all posted when it arrives... I'll definitely sniff it out.  :o)

Where does your momma buy all your fancy duds?  You look great in your Christmas pics!

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

Dear Puppy,

Thanks for the compliment!  :o)  My momma finds a lot of good deals at Target's dollar bin (usually at the front of the store).  Although, not all items are necessarily $1, it's not bad at $2.50 either.  Definitely check out this section as holidays roll around cos there is usually dog stuff to be found.  Shop early though - stuff gets picked through really quickly!

The doggie section at the back of Target is pretty good at keeping up with the seasonal trends.  I've seen clothing there for Valentines, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas usually in the $10-$20 range.  They also have seasonal toys too!!  I have tried to convince my momma to get the toys only, but does she listen?  Nooooo!

My momma is also an online shopaholic.  Free shipping?  OMG, this woman will buy anything as long as there's free shipping.  *sigh*  She'll also make do with a $5 flat rate shipping too... her obsession with purchasing all things cute+doggie is a nasty, nasty habit.  Get some help, momma!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I heard you get to sleep under the covers ON the bed WITH your peeps.  Is this true?  If so, how do I wrangle my way into such a situation?

Warm regards,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

My peeps had these doggie rules:

1. Daisy is not allowed in the house

2. Okay, Daisy is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms

3. Daisy is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture

4. Daisy can get on the old furniture only

5. Fine, Daisy is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the peeps on the bed

6. Okay, Daisy is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation

7. Daisy can sleep on the bed whenever she wants, but not under the covers.

8. Daisy can sleep under the covers by invitation only

9. Daisy can sleep under the covers every night

10. Peeps must ask permission to sleep under the covers with Daisy

... other than the last rule, the rest didn't last too long.  Just be persistent and sweet.  Most peeps are suckas for their doggies.  :o)

Please come home soon.

Dear Teenie,

I dunno.  I'm just a cranky b!tch when my momma's not around.  Daddy says I am being more protective of my turf - everytime another doggie barks or someone is out in the cul-de-sac talking, I go crazy barkin' at them.  Grrrr!

In addition to being cranky, I've become really clingy to daddy too.  Wherever he goes, I must go also... who knows if he is going to disappear like momma too???  Eep!  He'd better not!  WRoooF!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I love to get up on my human's lap, although being a 80 lb lap dog doesn't necessarily work very well.  Anyhoo, how do you signal to your peeps that you want up on their laps or on the couch or on the bed?

Sincerely,
Bully Jones

--

Dear Bully,

I am a very polite doggie... so I lay my head up on the edge of the couch or on the side of the bed and give them my sad doggie look.  It doesn't matter how long it takes, cos I am one persistent pup!  If that doesn't work, I will offset the sad puppy dog look with nose pokings.  A wet snout poking them will at least get their attention.  Then I will lay my head back on the edge until they let me up... and the suckas that they are, they always do my bidding.  :o)

Dashing through the night
Spreading morning delight

Your name came up??."

My momma had thought the poor schlub whose wireless network connection she's leaching from did something nastee to her Dogster account... like he wouldn't first access her bank account instead??

Silly momma.

I think she would be more upset if he jacked up the Dogster account vs. her bank account.

Where'd your momma go?  When is she coming back?  Who's the minion in charge of transcription while you're dictating updates to your Dogster page?!

Warm regards,
Nosey Norm

Dear Norm,

Momma went west... far far west.  Like, right to the edge of the pacific ocean kinda west!  She's gone to visit her family in Vancouver - but geeeeez, what about ME?!  

I have to settle for daddy playing squeaky toys with me, daddy learning my eating schedule, daddy remember to give me yogurt and cheese and treats and syn-flex and vitamins, daddy giving me neck scratchies and bum scratchies and leg massages, and daddy to update my Dogster page with pics and funny anecdotes.

I must say, he's doing a pretty good job though.  :o)  But who's gonna take care of daddy??  Poor daddy.  

Daisy

Dear Daisy,

I miss both of you.  :o)  *smooches* 

Love,
Momma]]></content:encoded>

Dear Nibbler,

My momma is gone!  Disappeared!  One minute she was there, the next... poof!  Daddy says she's gone to visit her family in Vancouver.  What?  Noooooo!

We drove down to Charlotte at o'dark-thirty this morning.  They put the doggie seatbelt on me.... grrrr!  It was on one sec, then off the next!  :o)  I'm pretty good at being a houndini.

When we got to the airport, I was taken for a quick walk and put back in the car while my peeps struggled to removed all these huge suitcases out of our two door hatchback.

Then momma and daddy left, but only daddy came back!  :o(

Oh man!  I was UPSET!  I made incosolable monkey noises until we got outta the parking deck.  Then my daddy took me out and I busted a mule-sized grumpy.  Ahhh!  I felt a little bit better, but not much cos momma was still missing.  *sigh*

Come home soon momma... I miss you!  *big doggie sigh*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

WRooooF!  I hate having my domain invaded by party guests... and now with the holidays just around the corner, it's like a party every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Grrrr...  and that dang doorbell.  Don't even get me started on that beast of an annoyance.  How do you deal with all the holiday stress?

Sincerely,
Turd Ferguson

--

Dear Turd,

Baroooo!  Ruuuuuuff!  RUFFFFFF!!  Grrrr... I hate doorbells too!  The UPS delivery guy doesn't even bother ringing the doorbell anymore - he just leaves the packages at the door and runs.

My peeps are hermits, so no one is welcome to our house.  Ever.  We always go over to other peeps' houses!  It's way more fun that way cos I totally get to misbehave:  beg for food, eat out of the trash, hoover around the kitchen floor, lick the dirty dishes in the open dishwasher... it's all good!

<i>The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.</i>

Dear Harry,

I always wondered what happened during that year they spent on New Caprica... nice to see how happy and hopeful everyone was in the beginning.  So sad to see how it all turned out later down the road.

But what I *really* wanna know is what the heck they were growing on New Caprica and where can I get some of dat?!

Adama and Roslyn were sweeeeeeet together.  Did you see him checking out her cleavage?!  Dood!  "That's a great color on you".  Boys, take note... that was smooth.

When Lee was declaring his love into the night sky, I was totally expecting Adama and Roslyn to pop up behind a bush and say:  "Dood?  WTF?  Shut up, man!  You're totally killin' our buzz!"

The aftermath was pretty funny too... anypup notice that Adama had a serious case of the munchies?  Hee!

Dear Puppy,

Ho ho ho.  ;o)

You'd think with all the money Paris has to throw away, she'd get her wonky eye fixed.  It's freaky!  It's like her eye is trying to run the other way because even *it* is embarrassed of her.  Oh, and while she's at it, surely she can get some kind of surgery for her big-assed man-hands.  *shudder*

Dear Timmeroni,

I love the new rosettes too!!!  Thank you HQ!!!

What I love most about the holidays is having my peeps home with me.  The house is nice and toasty, and we're all snuggled under fleecy blankets.  

The second best part of Christmas is all the new treats and toys that Santa leaves in my Christmas stocking!!!  I've been *really* good this year Santa (other than puking on the carpet a few times), so pleeeeeeease bring me something good!

The worst part of the holidays?  *sigh*  Holiday pics.  Why?  I am mortified.

Dear Puppy,

Gaah!  My momma brought me to this dogforsaken place yesterday...  I wrinkled my nose and said it smelled like dog.  My momma just rolled her eyes at me.  Can you believe she left me there all day?  Not even a backward glance!  So I was on my own.  *sniffle*  

<i>They</i> (those humans in charge) said I was 'aloof'.  Am I aloof!?  I think not...  I just didn't see the point of sullying my dainty princess paws playing ball with the likes of those doofy golden labs.

When my momma came to pick me up she expected some sort of update on how I behaved.  Is that too much to ask?  A report on my activities during the day?  It was more like:  Daisy who?  The humans in charge weren't very professional...  not certified, not trained, not friendly... momma was not impressed.  

Thank dog we're not going back...  daddy thinks we should open up our own doggie daycare.  That would be my momma's dream job.  That would be my dream job too... top dog at the doggie daycare!  :o)

Dear Norm,

My momma went to Whole Foods recently and got me a fresh supply of yummy goodies.  I got a new jar of peanut butter (no salt, no sugar, just nuts!), some plain yogurt, and some smoke gouda.

OMG.

I will <i>cut</i> you if you come near my gouda... it is *that* good.

Dear Norm,

I'm gonna be a Jersey Girl!  We headed up to Fortescue, New Jersey this weekend to help Uncle Dick move... we're talking 12 hours of driving.  Momma almost puked... *twice*. But she made it there in one piece.  I was an excellent rider all the way down... just laid my head on the nearst lap and went to sleep.

I got to walk on the beach and feel sand between my tootsies for the first time evah!  It was very cool!  I was afraid of the surf though.

Why is NJ considered the "armpit of america"?  It really didn't smell *that* bad and I didn't see any gnarly armpit hair protruding from any place?

Keepin' y'all posted via the Blackberry... just cos I'm such a techno-geeky-hound with a techno-geeky-daddy.

Dear Nibbler,

I'll be bowing out of the family gathering happening at my grammy's house - seven adults, one obnoxious toddler, two crazy dogs, and a cranky cat is a recipe for disaster.  I have put in a request for a doggie bag of leftovers though.

But!  I will be getting my own thanksgiving meal of Merrick's Thanksgiving Day Dinner.  Here is the <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/11/happy-thanksgiving.html">professionally photographed meal</a> vs. uh... <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/11/thanksgiving-part-deux.html">the actual stuff that came outta the can</a>.

Hmmm... I seem to be missing some acoutrements such as the sprig of rosemary garnish, the glass of wine, and other festive sprinklings of pumpkins and holly berries.  

Momma!  It's not going to taste as good if it doesn't look as good as the picture!  *whine*  

[10 minutes later]

Awww SNAP!  <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/11/five-star-dining-for-da-hound.html">Take a look at this layout</a>...  hey!

Ahh well, it'll do momma, it'll do.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Okay, so no Jake the doggie (again) in this episode, but we get a character, um, named after a doggie... Bulldog is his call-sign.  Does that count?  Pffft!

Sincerely,
Harry Hound

--

<i>The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.</i>

Dear Harry,

I know... I feel like Jake the doggie is never going to make another appearance on BSG.  Sure...  everyone's hair and moustaches (or lack thereof) is all back in order, but c'mon... Jake doesn't take up a lot of room, I'm sure he's not a picky eater, and you can always airlock his dookies?

Anyhoo, I'm so glad to see Adama and Tigh on the road to becoming BFF again!  WOoOo!  

And yes, I know I posted about the need for Tigh to get a real eye patch, but a beige colored one that looks like it was made from one of Ellen's bras??!  Seriously?  C'mon!  Black. Eye. Patch.  Mmm 'kay?

Okay, and anybody think that Tigh was going to tranny-up and try on Ellen's satin nightie?  No?  Hmmm, must've just been me then...

Daisy

Brrrrr!  You don't look like you've gotta lotta fur on you... whacha doing to keep warm on your morning walkies??

Sincerely,
Nibbler

Dear Nibbler,

I have an assortment of sweaters (all of which are found in fugly variants of beige and navy blue).  Why can't I have some nice pink or purple sweaters?  With flowers? And ribbons? Or lace?  *sigh*  Evidently, it's hard to find frilly, girly sweaters for big chested, er... I mean, <i>deep</i> chested doggies like me.  Luckily it's dark out so no one can see my Ugly Betty outfits.
 
So our morning routine is as follows: 

6:00 AM
Alarm goes off
Daddy hits snooze

6:05 AM
Alarm goes off
Daddy hits snooze

6:10 AM
Alarm goes off
Daddy hits snooze
I run around the bedroom noser-ing the peep closest to the edge of the bed
I let out a yowl
Peeps deploy into action

6:15 AM
Run laps around daddy while he puts on his jacket
Run laps around daddy while he puts on his shoes
Run laps around daddy while he tries to put the sweater on me
Sweater goes over my head
Hold my right paw up daintily while my daddy slips it through the armhole
Then I hold my left paw up daintily ...
And I do the hokey pokey
And I turn myself around - woo!

After that I'm out the door, walking around the neighborhood, busting grumpies and taking care of other personal matters.

I love mornings with my daddy cos we spend lots of quality time together.  :o) 

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Dear Norm,

Gobble Gobble!  There are turkeys everywhere I look...  speaking of which, I love the new turkey rosettes (Thanks HQ!).

I just got my rosette rations refilled yesterday and I've already splurged and given away 18 rosettes (turkey and otherwise).

*burp*

Or would that be  *prub* since I gave them away instead of eating them?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

You make us all look bad cos I know you're, like, the perfect doggie and all, but have you gotten into any trouble recently?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

Dear Puppy,

Well, just last Saturday, I got scolded for taking my momma's brand new dryer balls.

Now a little background on my momma and her obsessive need for all things clean.  She looooves cleaning supplies.  She loves to clean (usually in the way of mass overhauls).  She came home last weekend all thrilled cos she found these dryer balls (30% off!!) which are supposed to help laundry dry faster and come out fluffier in the dryer.  (Yep, she's a sucker for all types of houseware-y type gadgets.)

Well.  <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/11/dryer-balls-vs-chewy-balls.html"">My chew toy is blue and nubby.  Dryer balls are blue and nubby</a>.  My chew toy fits into my mouth.  Dryer balls fit into my mouth.  Both are highly chewable.  You see where I'm going with this, right?

So my momma separates the laundry and squeals in excitement as she opens up her packages of dryer balls.  Yes, she is a strange one.  She purchased a total of four (two to a package).  She places them <i>unattended</i> on top of the dirty laundry in the basket.  

There they sit... staring at me.  

Here I sit... staring back.  

We eye each other.  

[Five minutes later...]

My momma comes back and squeals (but not in a good way this time) when she discovers three out of four dryer balls have gone missing!  So she runs from room to room to see what I've done with them.  Hey, fun!  So I join her as we play 'let's chase the freaky mommy!'.

She finally finds them in the sunroom, all intact thankyouverymuch!  She tsks tsks and shakes her finger at me while I flash her my innocent doggie smile at her.  She shakes her head and laughs at me and whisks the dryer balls away.

Whatev.  I was already tired of 'em anyway.

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Dear Harry,

I absolutely LOVE sticking my snout out the window.  I love sticking my head out the window, but my peeps don't let me do that very much - with the pollen, the bugs, and other nasties flying around - they don't want me to lose an eye or for something to fly up my snout.  

I love going through drive-thrus with my peeps too!  I just hafta flash my doggie smile and I can always charm a couple of chicken nuggets outta the drive thru ladies at Wendy's.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Again, no Jake in this episode... I am beginning to fear the worst for poor Jake the doggie.  I hope it comes back and bites them all in their collective asses!  Okay, other than my ranting, what'd you think of this week's episode?

Sincerely,
Nosey Norm

--

<i>The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.</i>

Dear Norm,

I am keeping my paws crossed that Jake will appear in an episode soon.  All we want is c-l-o-s-u-r-e.  Just tell us that Jake is safe aboard Cloud Nine, adopted by some loving family, frolicking in the  sun and doing his dumpski on the nice green lawns.  Please, we just want to know that Jake is not stuck on New Caprica fending for himself.  

Overall, an interesting episode...  Sharon (Athena) is immune to the virus due to the cybrid baby she was carrying.  And Helo, traitor or not?  He asphyxiates the other cylon captives McGyver-style before the crew could execute them within download range.  There was no guarantee that the virus would infect the whole cylon fleet anyway, but still...  if Roslyn finds out, his ass is *so* going to be airlocked.

So the question remains, why would the cylons still want to find earth?  If the virus came from earth, wouldn't they get infected once reaching earth and die anyway?  Maybe this is how Baltar makes himself useful... he finds a cure for the cylons so that they are immune.  Either that or Xenalon decides to keep him around so she can play electrical chair with him.

Um, and the scene that I guess warranted the viewer discretion warning...  the crazy cylon torture / pleasure chamber?  I won't go there.

Daisy

ETA:  Oops!  My daddy, the crrrzy fanboy, just reminded me that Cloud Nine blew up last season.  So as long as Jake wasn't on Cloud Nine or on Pegasus (both of which are an impossibility), there's still hope for him yet!

Oh man oh man oh man!  I love it when the leaves fall and the humans pile them all up and when no one is watching, I run through them and scatter them everywhere.  What do your peeps do with all the fallen leaves?

Warm regards,
Nibbler

--

Dear Nibbler,

My peeps cleared out the leaves yesterday...  WOo HoO!  Now I've got my lawn back!  I was having trouble finding the stick during my fetch sessions.  The stick would fall and if I wasn't paying attention, I would have a terrible time of finding it amongst all those darned leaves.

My daddy picked up all the leaves with the mower, and ended up cutting the lawn too since it had grown quite a bit as well.  So now I am not only able to find my stick during fetch, I don't have long grass blades tickling my bum when I dookie.

Yay daddy!  I love you!

*slurp*

Dear Chesteroo,

I do the bath and cat zoomies!!  And don't forget about treat zoomies and seeing-Fran-n-Herb zoomies.  

This morning, I did the fresh-crisp-winter-air zoomies!  I made a couple of laps around the house, a couple of laps around the yard, chased some imaginary squirrels, barked at some falling leaves, made a couple more laps around the house, stopped at sniffed Howie (the cat), and did a couple more zoomies around the yard before I ran inside.

Then I let out a couple of big G-A-C-Ks from all the cold air I had sucked in.

And now I must nap...
for at least 12 hours.

It's a hard life.  :o)

Dear Norm,

Last night while my daddy was munching on his burger, he picked out one of his pickles and gave it to my momma.  Of course, I had to investigate... so I slowly inched closer and closer. 

My momma seeing that I was intently following the path of the pickle, she gave me a little schnibble of it to see if I would eat it.  

My daddy scoffed and said that I wouldn't like it.  

I spit it out once, then picked it up again.  I munched on it and my tastebuds exploded: Pew! Pew! Pew!  I'd never tasted anything quite like a pickle before.  It was good!  So I got another little schnibble to munch on.  

So from now on, all the pickles my daddy picks out of his burgers will go straight in my bell-ay!  :o)

Dear Maggs,

But how could she do this? Right in the middle of his meteoric rise to rap superstardom.

Ahhh, Britney - your timing on this was impeccable.  This definitely scores you some points.

Oh, and asking the judge to make K-Fed pay for his own attorney is also a nice move.  She\'s got Laura Wasser as a divorce attorney.  This woman is a bulldog in the courtroom.  Oooh... it\'s gonna be nasty fun watching all of this go down.

While K-Fed will be stuck with someone like <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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Hutz\">Lionel Hutz</a>.

I wonder how fast he\'ll disappear?  Oh wait... wait... 
Okay, already gone.  K-Who?

You know somewhere Shar Jackson is probably laughing her ass off.

I do feel sorry for all the assorted offspring that have come forth from the loins of this monkey.

Helena, my doggie sister, is a gaseous wench!  It doesn't matter what she eats, it always re-appears as a heinous crime against all living creatures.  How do your peeps handle it when you release horrible doggie farts??

Sincerely,

--

Dear Nibbler,

Oy.  Doggie farts can indeed be extremely nasty.  

Why, just the other night, I was ensconced with both my peeps in the warmth of a fleecy blanket on the couch.  I daintily stood up and jumped down.  My peeps wondered where I was going since I am usually dead to the world whenever a fleecy blanket is involved.

I walked over to the doorway and released a whopper of a doggie fart (complete with soundeffects).

My peeps were so amazed at my politeness... I would've said 'excuse me', but hey, I'm just a doggie.

Okay, I'm miffed!  Where's Jake?!  Other than that <i>brief</i> flashback in Episode 5, which indubitably saved Gaeta's ass, why no Jake the doggie?!  Was he airlocked as a collaborator as well?!  Could they not afford to keep him on as a regular?  Not even a guest spot?  Boo!

Dear Totums,

I was so expecting to see Jake at the end of Episode 6 when they were showing all the civillians living onboard Galactica.  I mean, c'mon!  Why not a brief shot of him, say... playing with Kasey?  Or a shot of Jake playing tug-0-war with Tigh's bottle of ambrosia?  Nah, that would've ruined the dark mood of the episode, I guess.  But a quick shot of Jake would've been enough to satisfy my need to know that the poochie made it onboard Galactica in the mass exodus.

So Episode 5 - Collaborators was meh...  bye bye Jammer, airlocked for your crimes against humanity.  A sorta bridge episode, but more of a tying up of some loose ends and confirmation of the continuing downward spiral of bitter, hate, and crazy going on with Tigh and Kara.  My favorite line of this episode - Adama to Apollo: "Keep jumping".  Awww, thanks dad!  :P

But, in Episode 6, Hawt!Apollo is back - dang, he looks fine (once again).  I doubt jumping rope gives you hawt abs like that, but I loves me some Apollo.  :o)  To the writers, thank you for showing us a sweaty, shirtless Apollo.  One-Eyed!Tigh is sooo broken.  Bitter much?  It seems like nothing wll ever be able to fill the gaping hole that is his eye socket.  Helo's hair looked a little bit better - I guess they're slowly transitioning the bowl-cut out with a little 'zhoosh' to the bangs this week.  And Kara?  Thanks for chopping off some of that crazy along with the hair.

Okay, so we've established that Baltar is not a cylon, otherwise he would've been infected... or would he???  He <i>was</i> wearing one of them space suits (which importantly, Athena / Sharon was also, so that would ease my poor doggie mind about losing her to the cylon virus).  <i>Obviously</i> the Cylons are running some sort of Microsoft product, which is extremely virus-prone so I can most certainly see it destroying entire civilizations.  I just hope Bill Gates lives long enough to be tried for crimes against humanity.

Um, and the hydra... girlfriend really liked to spin up the FTL drives and jump.  I mean, she really, <i>really</i> liked it.  She was totally making her 'O' face.  Well, that was a wee bit uncomfortable to watch.  Anyway, totally reminded me of Minority Report and the freaky PreCog Agatha - although I totally <i>loved</i> Samantha Morton in <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.imdb.com/title/tt0119404/">'Jane Eyre'</a> and <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.imdb.com/title/tt0118308/">'Emma'</a>.

Baltar really needs a haircut - but at least he's not running around nekkid on the cylon basestar anymore.  Nor is he confined to the disco themed room they've put him in, complete with a hot pink chaise lounge and throbbing lights.  Very sneaky of him not to mention the probe he found on the dying cylon ship - but hey, always looking out for number one, right?

On the human side of things, Adama held a glare-fest and gave Tigh and Kara the smackdown for being snarky.  I guess Adama and Tigh are no longer  BFF, but hopefully that will change in an upcoming episode  which brings them back together again.  

Okay, next week?  For frak's sake... someone please get Tigh an eye-patch so he doesn't have to keep wearing his little 3 x 3 inch square of gauze every episode.

Daisy

Dear Nibbler,

Heavens no... I don't chew on stuff like that when I've got treats and chew toys comin' out the ying-yang.  :o)  

When I was a pup - the worst I ever chewed on were pens (especially Sharpies) - they were like mini sticks!  I loved 'em until my peeps got wise and stopped leaving stick-like objects on the ground.

My peeps are sooooo lucky I am not more destructive cos my momma's got shoes laying everywhere - every style of every color of every brand.  Most of 'em have got these nice long heels... that are kinda stick-like.  

Hmmm...  maybe if I nibble on a couple of them heels she won't be so apt to leave them lying all over the place, tripping my daddy in the mornings when he's fumbling around in the dark getting ready to take me out for walkies.

Just a thought.

Dear Harry,

I am soooooo sorry!  :o)  I've gotta blame my peeps for letting the ball drop on this one.  I'm ready to watch me some of that Apollo, but it seems like they need to recuperate from their long weekend and have fallen asleep on the couch the past two nights.

AND tonight is LOST, so you know they're gonna have to squeeze BG in somewhere before LOST (unless they fall asleep on the couch again).

*sigh*

If only I had opposable thumbs... I could work those darned buttons on the remote.

Hang in there... it's coming soon!  :o)

Daisy

P.S.  All y'all - Happy All Saints Day!]]></content:encoded>

Dear Nibbler,

We took a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway today and headed out and stopped first at Sparta to grab some lunch before <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/10/hound-doughton-park.html">heading out to Doughton Park</a>.

We went on a 2.5 mile trail starting at the coffeeshop and ending at Brinegar's Cabin.  It was a gorgeous day - sunny but with a little chill in the air.  It was really nice because it was really quiet along the trail... didn't see any people until we were headed back.  

There was so much to smell and so much to chase!  Squirrels were bountiful!  So was the abundant variety of poo!  

Part of the trail cut through a meadow which was close to the road.  As we were following the trail through the meadow, we looked up and saw this older couple on a motorcycle slow down as they drove by.  The husband pointed at me and was like, "Look! A deer!"... and the wife was like, "No, it's a dawwwg!"  Hee!

Next, we proceeded to point up into the sky at ... well, nothing really.  This minivan went by us and they were all craning their necks trying to see what we were pointing at.  Which was again, nothing.  Hee!  Y'all should try that sometime.

It was getting towards dusk when we saw some deer in the cow pasture bounding away from us.  We saw even more deer along the sides of the road on the drive home as well.  Luckily we didn't hit any.

I was pretty pooped by the end of the day and my peeps didn't hear a ... peep (!) outta me for the rest of the night.

Dear Harry,

Brrrr... it's been freezing cold up here - the wind has been gusting  all night and all day.  <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/10/hound-da-cabin.html">We're all nice and toasty</a> inside the cabin though.  We saw some deer!  And I couldn't stop yodelling for hours - I wanted to chase them sooooo badly!  But then my peeps would never see me again once I got into the depths of the forest, so they didn't let me do any chasing.  Boo!

This morning,  I walked out with a sweater, came back all nekkid!  Hee!  

I am a much braver hound up in the mountains than down in the city...  up here when the wind's blowing, the rain's pounding, or the cabin is creaking, it doesn't bother me at all.  Back at home, I'd be shaking and under the bed before you could blink.

Will report more later...  gotta go back outside and bury the sweater so my peeps can't find it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Do you know what treats come with freezing cold weather?!  Poopsicles!!  I can't wait for this limited edition treat that only comes around once a year... gotta get 'em before they're gone!  Thirty-one flavors out there, and I love the plain ol' simple kitty poopsicle.  I'm a purist.  Do you have a fave flave you crave?

Ever yours,
Kaka Kruncher

Dear KK,

No poopsicles for me!  My momma would scream bloody murder if she caught one of those in my mouth... although I don't think she'd ever be brave enough to fish it out of my mouth with her bare fingers though.  Hee!  Maybe I should gnaw on a Baby Ruth just to freak her out.  Ooh!  My daddy has a stash of king-sized Snickers bars in the freezer downstairs...  hey, daddy, wanna freak momma out?

Speaking of limited edition treats, doesn't it concern <i>anyone</i> that <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.youtube.com/watch?v=lDezZmDEMsQ">Cadbury creme eggs which only come out during easter</a>, are like... brown, round, gooey, and comes out of a bunnie's ass?

Dear Norm,

Are you applying for the position?!?  ;o) 

Wait!  Don't run away... I was just kidding!  

I am single, footloose and fancy free.  There's my grandpeeps doggie, Pal, but I'm not too interested in him... he's such a goober head.  <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2005/12/smoochie.html">Plus he's got cooties</a>.  Besides which, he's shacked up with Dakota, a chocolate lab from the wilds of Philly.  

Oh, but I do love the boys!  My momma and I went to PetSmart on the weekend and they were having an adoption fair sponsored by AARF.  They had a ton of kitty cats of all shapes and sizes, but my tail started wagging upon seeing the gathering of doggies ready for adoption.  I zoomed right in and cuddled up next to a brindle-colored, muscle-bound, mack truck of a boxer-mix named Artie.  I was on him like white on rice.  I'm a shamless hussy when it comes to the menz. 

My momma was wondering why I wasn't making the rounds to sniff the other butts, and as it turns out, the rest of the doggies there were chicks, so Artie got all of my undivided attention.  Sadly, after my momma called my daddy to ask him if there was the teeniest, tiniest possibility we could get another doggie, he lay the smackdown and said no.

*sigh*

So I had to bid my soon-to-be-not-even-ex-boyfriend adieu.  But I did get one last lick and sniff in before we left.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

OMG!  What an amazing episode - you were right! Baltar gets left behind (I guess no one informed him about the escape plan).  Do you think they took Jake the dog with them???  I reaaaaally hope so.  I would be sad to see Jake left behind.  :o(

Warm regards,
Nibbler

<i>The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.</i>

Dear Nibbler,

Best. Episode. Evah!!!11!!1!!!!1!oneone!shift+one!~!!!  And it's only the fourth episode this season!  I think I can totally get over my bitterness of last season's "Black Market" flop if this keeps up.

So what happens?  Galactica does a freefall plummet into the atmosphere of New Caprica, launches some vipers, and then jumps out again...  the peeps escape, Ellen Tigh bites the dust a la greek tragedy, Cylons gain control of Hera the cybrid baby, and Adama's porn'stache is no more!!!  Thank goodness.  

Oh, and I better see someone walking / pooping / playing with Jake in the next episode otherwise I'll be mad!  Mean mad!  He played such an integral part of the resistance.  

If Tigh's eye does not get nonimated for an Emmy as best supporting actor, the whole system is rigged!!!  His eye once again rocked the hell out of this episode.

I am so glad the baby Kasey story arc is tied up.  But yeah, let's just add another layer of crazy onto Starbuck's already frakked up psyche.

Bye bye Pegasus... we hardly knew ye.  But how awesomely did she go out in style???  Taking out one battlestar, and the remnants of her nameplate crashing into the other - *sniffle* - that was beautiful.  So <i>this</i> is how Apollo loses his chubbs... the Taco Bell onboard blew up along with Pegasus.  No more chalupas!

For upcoming episdes, my doggie senses are tingling and tell me that Helo gets a decent haircut (I hope), a love triangle forms between Adama, Roslin and Zarek (okay, I hope not), and we find that Tory Foster arranged for the Cylons to get ahold of Hera.

Daisy

Dear Nipper,

<i>Someone</i> has to keep the kibble in our bowls stocked and plentiful!  :o)  I hate it when my peeps leave me as well, but they've discovered my kryptonite.  Peanut butter.

So no longer will I whine and shake and tremble and get the sad-doggie look whenever they put on their socks and shoes.  Instead, I whine and shake and tremble with doggie excitement cos I know I'm going to get a healthy dose of peanut buttery goodness globbed into my Kong.

I don't even turn around to say goodbye when they leave... it's all about the peanut butter filled Kong.

Dear Harry,

I love the pumpkin rosettes!!!  They are so cuuuuute!  :o)

Lessee, we could have (in no particular order):

Valentine's - heart shaped rosettes!
Easter - peeps! or bunny foo foos!
St. Patrick's - four leaf clover!
Christmas - an ornament! or a tree!
Thanksgiving - a turkey drumstick!! mmmm *drool*
Halloween - candy corn would be cool too!  Or a cute little ghostie!
4th of July - a flag! or fireworks!

We could also have special birthday cake rosettes!  Oooh, and wouldn't it be neat if the rosettes were animated?!  Blinkity blink?  Or color changing?!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

The howlidays are right around the corner! Do you and your peeps exchange gifts? If so, what are you going to give them this year? This year I think I am going to give Momma a big sloppy smooch and I'm going to try not to do it after sniffing poo at the dog park. Each year I get gifts from some fat guy named Santa whom I've never actually caught sneaking down the chimney, but I aim to get him someday!

Dear Maggs,

A big sloppy smoochie sounds like a great gift!!!  Are you sure we shouldn't do it after sniffing poopie at the park?  Sounds like a nice extra little bonus to me.

I have actually *seen* this fat guy you call Santa...  last year.  And the year before!  In fact, <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2004/12/santa-daisy.html"> I have pictoral evidence</a> that he does indeed exist - and although he didn't climb down our chimney, he did smell of malt liquor and cheese doodles.

What did you think of last Friday's Battlestar Galactica episode?!?  I was so excited to see Jake the dog in the episode again.  Yay!  They better take him when they leave that rock... I'd be really pissed if they left him with the cylons.

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

<i>The following posting may contain spoilers / speculations.</i>

Dear Puppy,

It was a pretty good episode... not as great as the previous episodes, but not bad.  They totally have to take Jake the dog with them when they leave New Caprica!  He's Gaeta's only alibi...

Anyhoo, it was great to see Chief's face again - beard be gone!  Now all we need is Adama to shave off his 70's porn'stache and for Helo to get rid of his dreadful bowl-cut.  My Tigh can keep his beard though...  rugged, sexy, and all-out crazy.  That's how I like 'em.  ;o)

Oh oh, and my prediction for upcoming episodes?  Everyone gets off the rock... EXCEPT for Baltar!  They totally ditch him, so this totally pisses him off and leaves him open to join the cylons and thus turning against humanity.  Again.

Daisy

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I looooooooooove FALL!  The weather is so brisk outside.  I love to run run run and sniff sniff sniff every leaf on the ground.  The only thing I don't like about the colder weather is how cold it gets *inside* the house.  Brrrrr!  Turn up the thermostat!  Stat!  How do you stay warm when you're inside with your peeps?

Warm regards,
Pupperoni

Dear Pupperoni,

Fleecies!  You've gotta have fleecy blankets.  OMG.  They are the best heat inducing item in the world.  Cover me up in one of these lovlies and my sticks are stuck straight out when I sleep.

What's even MORE awesome is sleeping under the fleecies *with* my peeps!  Between the fleece blanket, human body heat, and me...  I am snug as a pup in a rug.

The only downfall...  getting dutch oven'd.  What is a dutch oven, you say?  It's the act of trapping a person (or in my case, a doggie) under the covers and releasing a fart.  Yes.  I know doggies have smelly farts, but until you've been dutch oven'd by my peeps, you don't know what vile a$$ fumes can come outta these people!!

Thanks for sharing what you had for dinner last night.  :P

Dear Norm,

Sticks!  Definitely sticks!  I loves me some fiber.

Wave a stick at me, then squeak a squeakie... I'll definitely jump for the stick!  But since sticks aren't allowed in the house, I can only chew / play with them outside.  I do have a designated "outside" squeakie toy, but it just isn't as fun as chasing after a stick!

Dear Puppy,

I'm a little confused too!  I had to <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/site_updates.php?p=264">read the FAQ</a> more than a few times.  And I'm still confused!

Now we have stars that stay on our pages forever...  do they replenish our account of stars?  Or do we have to purchase stars from now on?  Zealies are um... currency they say, but uh...  *confused*  I think we have to buy stars with our zealies.

1 Rosette = 1 Zealie
1 Star = 5 Zealies

My furry head is about to 'splode.

Finally!  A doggie on the show!  :o)  What is his name and why do they keep tipping over his food bowl?  The poor thing!

Warm Regards,
Harry Hound

Dear Harry,

Yes!  Finally!  A doggie on BG!  I think he was an australian shepherd mix.  Whatta cutie.  I think his name is Jake?  I wonder if the doggie is a cylon collaborator...  they call the cylon-human hybrids 'skinjobs', I guess they'd call the cylon-doggie hybrids 'furjobs'?

I ~heart~ Tigh.  He is playing the glorious salty sea captain character to the hilt.  He's all Tigh, minus an eye, with an extra helping of Tigh on top.  

Uh, Lee Adama.  Boy, what have you done to yourself?  Did you find a Taco Bell onboard Pegasus?  I know the camera adds 10 pounds, but how many cameras were on you???  (I know it's a fat suit, but the jiggliness made it seem so real).  Me wants to poke it.

How do Roslin and Zarek survive???  Me thinks the NCP turn on the toasters.  That'll give Jammer some redemption.

Okay, is it next Friday yet?  Seriously.  I can't wait.

Daisy

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

I am expecting <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://dogster.com/photos/one.php?i=337697&pi=1565918">Brigitta</a> to break out into "Chamma Chamma" (<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.youtube.com/watch?v=EYSUofoSY1E">a la Moulin Rouge</a>) as my Dogster Pic of the Week.

She's got an awesome gold star (for graduating from puppy kindergarten) which reminds me of a bindi (a decoration worn on the forehead).  

According to About.com, the area between the eyebrows, the sixth chakra known as the 'agna' meaning 'command', is the seat of concealed wisdom. It is the centre point wherein all experience is gathered in total concentration.  

So not only is Brigitta smashingly brilliant, she's also brilliantly attired.

Love,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I noticed that I frequently dream about Dogster. I dream about reading pages, typing messages and discussing on the forums. Does this mean I'm addicted??? Is there something like DA (Dogsters Anonymous)?

Yours,
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=359842">Chester</a>

Dear Chester

Hmmm...  are *you* dreaming about Dogster or is your momma dreaming about Dogster?  ;o)

I must confess, that I, personally, do not dream about Dogster (I dream about getting my chompers on the elusive bunny bum that's always sooooo close!!!).  

Don't tell her I told you, but my momma, on the other hand, has on occasion a dream or two about pup pals, rosettes, diary postings, and the forums.

That is very scary!  But, I think you're right.  This is clearly an addiction.

We should definitely start a group... Dogsters Anonymous is a great idea!  :o)

Dear Harry,

Nah... I'm not too picky about where I lay a fresh doggie biscuit.  I am blessed to have a big backyard which offers the highest quality of dumping grounds.

I don't like tall grass though.  It tickles my bum when I have to execute a class one download.

So when the lawn hasn't been mowed... I mosey on over to the large patch of ivy that's over by the side of the backyard and bust a grumpy there.

Dear Nibbler,

Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity, nor any inclination, to partake in these exquisite delicacies.  I am no ka-ka cruncher, although given the chance, I'd probably roll in it.  Plus my momma would probably scream bloody murder if she caught me eating poo... then I would be shunned.  I can't stand being shunned.  :o(

Dear Maggie Mae,

Although I absolutely love autumn and all the wonderful sights and scents that come with it, I dread it when October rolls around because that means costumes and firecrackers!

My peeps will definitely be dressing me up for Halloween.  I have no idea what I will be yet, but I'm sure those pictures will definitely make it somewhere on my Dogster page.  *sigh*

Is your momma going to make your costume or is she going to buy one?  Target has some great doggie costumes at very reasonable prices...  I know cos I've got a trunk full of 'em.  *groan*

Hey!  Maybe I can secretly send you all my costumes... then I won't hafta dress up for Halloween!!!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Doggies,

I realize that with all the doggies out there in Dogster, I hardly ever stroll through the pages much anymore.  Well, I am a social doggie who loves to meet and greet... even if it's just sniffin' bums through the laptop screen (wish they'd come out with a scratch 'n' sniff add-on soon!)

This morning I did a stroll on Ibizan Hounds and came across a <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=106786">great picture of Ted that made us giggle</a>. 

Once a week, I'll post a link to a doggie that I meet during my strolls through Dogsterville.

Love,

The worst part of the visit was the temperature reading.  GAH!  But other than that, just the general pokes and prods *outside* my body.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Are you all rested up from your long weekend up at the cabin?

Sincerely,
Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

Phew! I am feeling MUCH more rested...  I was so relaxed in fact, that when I was lovingly picked up by my daddy, I didn't even struggle too much when I was unceremoniously plopped into the bath tub.

NOoOoo!  Not the hound-dog smell I worked so hard on all weekend!  *sniffles*  But there it went... all that pungent aroma down the drain.  

I was scrubbed from head to feets, from the tip of my nose (which got stung!) to the tip of my tail.  Momma even washed my bum!  Gah!  Oh, the indignity.

Ahhh, then it was the rinse off - my absolutely favorite part.  I will stand statue-still when it's time for the rinse cycle.  I love the hot water sluicing over me chasing the chill away.  

Of course all baths end with treats, so I got treats galore!  Then I got some play time in too with one of the squeakies.  I am so hyper after a bath, I accidentally 'speared' my daddy in the ribs when I tried to take the squeakie away from him.  He threw it finally, and I chased it halfway down the hall, turned, and trotted back to daddy.

My momma was like, "Awww!  She's coming back to see if you're ok".  

I came around and started sniffing daddy's side, under the guise of checking out his boo boo... but really, I was after the stash of leftover treats behind him and started snarfing them down before either of my peeps realized my true intent.

So now I am a clean hound, with nasty beef liver breath.

Daisy]]></content:encoded>

Okay, your faithful following is dying from suspense here---how was your weekend? Why were your peeps packing? Where did they go? Did you get to go too? Did you have fun when you got there? And for DOG'S sake, WHO SHOT JR??? ;)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=288069&j=t">Maggie May</a>

Dear Maggs,

I *so* got to go with my peeps!!!  We hopped in the car and went over to Fran & Herb's house.  From there, we all piled into their van and drove and drove... and drove some more.  We eventually ended up at their cabin up in the mountains in Virginia!  Wooo baby!  I ran like a wild woman.  AND Ruby was there too - so that was extra super happy fun time cos we played a ton in the clearing and in the woods.

The cabin was awesome cos Herb built it himself.  It was so cute!  Don't tell him I said that cos that's not a 'manly' description for the cabin, but it was very very cool.  It had a loft upstairs, a bathroom, kitchen, and a deck with a great view.  It was so very awesome.

We arrived on Saturday evening, and my peeps and I slept on the futon downstairs.  When Fran & Herb found us the next morning, it was a mass tangle of legs, arms, sticks, sheets, and pillows.  We evidently slept very well.

Fran made me this <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/09/day-1-cabin.html">awesome vest in hunter's orange</a>.  It fit perfectly!  I think she should market these for doggies - they would totally fly off the shelves like pupcakes!  I ran around the woods in it and tried to hide in the grass from Ruby, but I guess my vest worked too well, cos she always found me and nibbled on my ears.  I ran so fast, I was like a flash of orange zipping around everywhere.

After my stint of modelling my hunting vest, I was able to attend to <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/09/day-2-cabin.html"> the most important part of the trip:  ROLL</a>!  I had been roll-less for two weeks now, I was thrilled I was finally allowed to let loose and be a wild woman.  I rolled like there was no tomorrow (well, there was a tomorrow, and I rolled then too).  There were plenty of smellies in the clearing... groundhog poop, coffee grounds, snake skins, and mole holes.

Later on that morning, we drove back across to NC and we climbed Stone Mountain and many times I almost pulled my daddy down the mountain.  Sorry, daddy!  You gotta hurry up cos I've got stuff to sniff.  I had to stay on the leash on the whole walk - grrrrr!  We climbed all the way to the top and we met a lot of doggies on the way, and a couple of doggies up at the top too.  We must've walked six or seven miles that day.  I was pretty poopered by the end of the night - the peeps went out to roast marshmellows at the fire pit out front while Ruby and I chilled inside the cabin.

The next day, <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/09/day-3-cabin.html"> we walked down to the creek</a> - this time I was leash-less the ENTIRE time cos we were on Fran & Herb's private property.  OH MY GAWD.  It was so awesome.  Even though I had to wear my radioactive vest, it was totally worth it to be off leash.  Ruby and I chased each other the whole 1/2 mile down to the creek and the whole way back.  We ran into the creek, jumped over bushes, and barked up a storm.  

Unfortunately the weekend at the cabin had to end... not that I'm complaining, cos I am one poopered pup.  I slept all the way home, and once home, I slept some more.  I couldn't even work up a groan when I got woken up.  I just buried my nose under my tail and shut out the world.  Thank goodness the peeps are back to work tomorrow... I don't think I could put up with them keeping me from getting my beauty sleep.

So all in all, it was an awesome weekend of rolling, barking, playing, and hound-doggin'.  :o)  I think we'll do it again soon!

Daisy

Dear Nibbler,

Blech.  I don't do veggies.  Are french fries considered a veggie?  Those are pretty good.  I will do apples though.  Them apples are pretty tasty.

The food I'm eating now has little bits of dried potato, carrot, and peas in it.  Unbeknownst to my momma, I have been eating around these little suckers and dropping them out onto the floor, so as to separate the nasties from the good stuff.

It wasn't until my unsuspecting momma was speared in the foot by a shard of dried carrot that she realized the lovely mosaic I had created on the floor consisting of greens, whites, and reds.  Very artistically arranged too, I must say.

So to veggies, I say, putooey!  Putooey, I say!

It's almost been two weeks since my 1 and 1/2 baths and I'm still not stinky!  My momma is sniffing me in disbelief.  I haven't had an opportunity to roll in the smellies for a while now.  *sniffles*

Lessee...  I've received 150 bones (at one time or another), been viewed more than 150 times, given away more than 150 rosettes, received over 150 pmails, written over 150 diary entries, and have made at least 150 pup pals (give or take a couple thousand or so - hee!).

Harry Hound

--

Dear Harry,

After the exciting evening I had on Friday, I figured I'd have a chance to recuperate on Saturday.  Yesterday started out as a regular Saturday morning... thinking I'd get to sleep the day away.  My momma had gone out shopping, and my daddy and I were chillin' in the sunroom.  But my daddy had other plans.  He popped in a DVD and started watching it.  I closed my eyes and prepared for at least a two hour nap.

After about 20 minutes or so, he woke me up and started to fiddle with some sort of contraption that went over my snout, then around the back of my head.  I didn't mind it and I got treats of course, so I continued being a good girl - all in the name of treats.

Then it all started to go downhill once he attached the leash to this contraption called the Gentle Leader.  OMG.  I  * f r e a k e d * out.  I tried my darndest to get it off at this point, but the dang thing was secure.  Eventually we had a couple of good walking sessions, no tugging whatsoever... but I still wanted the darn thing offa me!

My momma came home around noon, and my daddy showed her how we had been practicing with the Gentle Leader.  I freaked out *just* for her by laying on the ground with my paws over my snout.  I would not budge.  I looked so miserable.  Daddy just scoffed and said I was being a drama queen and that momma was a soft-touch.  

Momma, don't leave me with the evil daddy man again!  Take me shopping with you next time.  Please!!

Dear Norm,

Er, yeah.  After 45 minutes waiting in line for the stuff, I will reek like kettle corn for weeks to come.  ;o)

After dinner with Fran & Herb, and then a play session with Ruby, we went to Rock the Block afterwards.  It's a free downtown event where five blocks or so are shut down and several live music venues are scattered throughout the area. 

Even though we got there at around 9:30 PM, the block was still rockin'.  The street was packed with people, but I only saw one other doggie at the event.  Which totally worked in my favor cos everyone who saw me would coo: "Oooooh!  Lookit the cute doggie!"  or "Awwww!  DOGGIE!".  

My peeps though it was funny cos everytime someone saw me and exclaimed my cuteness, I would hold my head up high and do my horsey prance!  Well DUH!  I gotta look good for my public - and good posture is everything.

So we didn't actually *rock* the block, but we did walk it.  I behaved perfectly walking on the streets, and even though it was crowded, Momma is relieved that no one stepped on lil ol' me.

Dear Nibbler,

Don't worry!  Hot dogs aren't *real* dogs... I don't even think they contain real meat (mostly pig butts and lips).  So rest assured that you are safe from being slathered with ketchup, mustard, or relish.  

Take a look at <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.octodog.net/">this device called the Octodog</a>.  This is playing with your food to the extreme!  It looks rather like some torture device or mutant maker that creates X-Men, or X-Dogs in this case.  To the makers of Octodog... um, yeah - good luck with that.

Dear Sniffles,

I almost never get human food...  *sigh*  

The only times I've ever gotten human food are when I'm at Grammy & Grampy's house during Christmastime or when Fran and Herb are dogsitting me (and they wonder why I never eat my dog food when I'm over at their houses).

My peeps have on the odd occasion given me human food, but it's alway given to me in my food bowl.  I've had rotisserie chicken breast - yum, that was purdy darned good.  Oooo!  And just last night, I had the tips off the sides of the sirloin roast momma made.  Where's the beef, you ask?  In MAH BELL-AY!  :o)  *burpa*

Dear Norm,

Pretty much nothing phases me.

Except...

...when my peeps bother me when I'm sleeping!  GAAAAARRRRR!

Last night, my momma stealthily crept over to where I was sleeping (quite soundly, thankyouverymuch) on my pillow in the sunroom and started scratching my love bump (no, not that one - the one on my head, sillies!).

I lifted my head, cracked open my eyes, and gave a LOUD, disapproving groan, turned away, tucked my snout even deeper underneath my tail, and went back to sleep.

My momma was so offended!  She turned to my daddy to see if he witnessed what had just happened, and he just laughed at her.

Sorry momma... I love you, and I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but you really should let sleeping dogs lie.  ;o)

Hee hee!  I heard you had to have TWO baths within the space of four days!!!  Are you a glutton for punishment or what?

Sincerely,
Nibbler

--

Dear Nibbler,

I didn't *want* two baths!  I just... well... let's just say it's not my fault.

The first bath was Wednesday night.  I went over and played with Pal in his big back yard.  Normally I don't get a bath mid-week, but a bath was scheduled so I could be Frontline'd on Sunday.  Pal likes to give me tongue baths anyway.  Doesn't that count?  I guess not.

So I was nice and fresh the rest of the week.

Until Saturday.

When my peeps weren't looking.  I snuck off and rolled in some smellies in the back yard.  My mom sniffed me and recoiled in horror.  My daddy suggested I get a waterless, wipe down bath immediately so the stink wouldn't set in.  Thanks a LOT, daddy!  :P

So I got my waterless bath on Saturday and I've been under house arrest until today.  No free runs in the backyard... every walk was leashed and monitored.  Thank goodness tonight is Frontline night.  I don't think I could've held out much longer.

Dear Peety,

When Autumn rolls around, I looooove the bedding that my peeps bring out!  Crazy?  I think not!  We're talking big fluffy comforters, electric blankets, and ooooh, my favorite:  fleece blankets.  Yeah, baby!

Just last night I got to sleep in the big bed with my peeps and I was on top of the comforter, but under the fleecey blanket all night long.  Didn't hear a peep outta me.  Nope, not one 'puh', 'eee', or 'eep'.

Makes for awesome snugglie sleepies!

Ewwww!  I don't drink water outta the toilet.  I think that would effectively end all kisses to be given and received.

I sleep all day and wanna play all night!  My humans are getting tired me running around the house while they're asleep - what can we do?

Warm regards,
Spunky

Dear Spunky,

The last week or so I've been waking my peeps up at 2:00 AM, 2:30 AM, 3:00 AM, 3:30 AM, 4:00 AM... you get the picture.  Yeah, sure, I needed to pee, but I really didn't need to pee *that* badly.  Mostly I just wanted someone to throw the squeakie toy for me!

So recently my peeps have been 'making' me play fetch with the squeakers throughout the entire evening.  Not that anyone would hafta twist my arm to play fetch, but I seriously don't know when to stop.  Too much of a good thing?  No way!

So now I sleep through the night... sometimes my peeps even hafta prod me to get up to do the morning walk routine.  Grrrr!  Me so sleepy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I heard you almost got your momma in trouble... what'd you do?

Sincerely,
Chichi 

--

Dear Chichi,

Yep, I almost let the cat outta the bag!  That is, I mean, I almost let the dog out of the bag!  Yeah!  I let myself out of the bag!  Almost.

My momma's parents don't know that I exist!  Can you believe that?!?!  Don't they wanna meet this cutie of a hound?  Luckily they live 3,000 miles away (and don't have access to the internet).

So as my momma was on the cordless phone with her mom (I guess I should call her gamma), and I was happily squeaking away by her feet.  She'd walk away and I'd follow her squeaking with a vengeance.  I will not be silenced!

Then I heard something outside, so I had to use my big dog bark to command the attention of my peeps.  WooF WoOf WOof!!  

Gamma finally asked what all that ruckus was and if there was a dog in the house.  

Um, dog?  What dog?  Oh!  Maybe outside, there's a dog...?

Hrmph!

Do your humans brush your teeth?  If so, are you a good girl or do you chomp down on the toothbrush?

Sincerely,

Dear Hal,

My momma tries to brush my teeth with a slip-on finger brush.  I don't think she would appreciate me chomping down on her finger.  I don't know how effective the brushing actually is, but MmmmmMMMMM!  I love the taste of the poultry toothpaste.  Oh MAMA!  I could suck down a tube of that if they'd let me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I love Barbie!  Do you collect any Barbie dolls?

Sincerely,
Tiny Teena

--

Dear Tiny,

Sadly, I do not have any Barbie dolls.  If I did, I'm afraid her blonde hair would end up flossing my teeth and I'd be eating her accessories like gummi bears.

There is a new Barbie out.  She comes with a doggie pal.  His name is <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://tinyurl.com/ljjlb">Tanner</a>.  He comes with toys and dog biscuits.  He even poops (although I would really like to see the logisitcs of this pooping action).  

Um, so is Tanner housebroken?  Or does he just poop whenever?  Enquiring minds wanna know.

It says that he has movable mouth, ears, head and tail.  I am guessing that maybe you pump the tail and poop comes out?  That would be kinda cool.  

This Barbie comes with a special magnetic pooper scooper and trash can.  So, how do you get the poo to drop in the trash can?  Is there a release button?  Do you wiggle it until it drops?  

I think my momma is intrigued and may have to purchase one of these to see how it works.  

Oh and for those who want the <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://tinyurl.com/oj646">kitty version</a>, the Teresa doll comes with a cat named Mika who drinks water from a bottle then wets her litter box.  The cat litter comes in a variety of colors.  Fun scoopin' action.

Dear Norm,

Yesterday the weather was gorgeous!!  We're pretty far inland, so we just got the aftereffects of Ernesto.  It was sunny, but nice and cool.  We had all the windows open in the house, and my daddy and I played stick for a long time in the backyard.  Hoo nelly!  I ran hard... then I came in and drank a bunch of water.  Then I decided it was momma's turn to play squeaky toy with me.  So she threw around the squeaker while I ran around like a wild woman giving it the death shake.  After about the fifth time, the water I just drank decided to make a reappearnce.  Oops!  Did I mention I had the squeaky toy in my mouth at the time too?  Um, yeah.  So Mr. Squeakers got a bit of a bath of sorts.  Sorry Mr. Squeakers!

Dear Muuuumu,

Oh lordy, I will miss the green, green grass!  I love fresh green grass... it\'s great for sniffing, rolling in, and most of all, eating!  I have to sneak a nibble here and there though cos my peeps get all bent out of shape if they catch me eating grass.  It tends to make a re-appearance after about 20 minutes, once we\'re back inside the house of course, in the form of foamy, yellowy bile with grassy bits on the carpet.  *burpa*  Ahhh... just cleaning the palate.

Dear Puppy,

At least she finally 'fessed up, besides, it's her 'job' to look good, right?  

You'd think she'd get something done about her 'beauty mark' though.  I mean seriously, it's not that beautificous.

Yes, nice to mole you. Meet you! Nice to meet your mole. Don't say mole. I said mole. Mole mole mole mole.

What are the poor doggie lads and lassies to do about getting <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/site_updates_arch.php?p=226">free Dogster stickers</a> since we're not in the US and we don't have access to US postage to send in a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE)?

Dear Sir Muttsley,

I am responding to the plight of many of our non-US Dogster doggies who cannot get their free Dogster stickers.  I've already had one set mailed out, but I'm doing it again!

If you are a non-US doggie, please pmail me your address and I will send in an SASE for you.  :o)  If you have non-US doggie pals, have them pmail me and I'll send in an SASE for them too!

All doggies should have a Dogster sticker!  :o)

Do it now!  Bow wow!

Where is your favorite place to sleep?

Love,
Daddy

--

Dear Daddy,

I like to start off my day in the sunroom, on the right hand side of the sofa... then I'll move over to the left hand side of the sofa.  Eventually though, I'll be on the floor on any patch of sun that shines through the mini-blinds.  Even if it's just a little patch of sun, I'll stick my snout there.  It gets pretty hot in the sunroom, but I LOVE the heat.... oh yeah, heat-drunk is the best way to be!

Given the opportunity though, my favorite place to sleep would be on the bed (shhhhh! Don't tell momma!).  On the days she forgets to block off the master bedroom, I am on it like white-on-rice!  I like your side the best, Daddy, cos it's the smelliest.  :o)

Dear Puppy,

Evidently Osama Bin Ladin would be willing to <i>kill</i> Bobby Brown to make Whitney Houston one of his wives.  It's his prerogative.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Is it really true that you can't get wet for several days after being Frontlined? M.P. read all the info on the box and can't find anywhere that says no water after application. It's great when Frontline prevents baths, but last week I couldn't go swimming!

Woofs,
Colyn 

--

Dear Colyn,

After applying Frontline, the FAQ recommends waiting at least 24 hours (or until the application area appears dry) before you can go swimming or get wet.  And when it's time to re-apply, make sure to wait a couple of days after a bath before applying Frontline...  this is so the natural oils in a doggie's fur coat have enough time to come back to help distribute the Frontline.

My bath is today.  *sniffles*  There is no holding it off any longer!  I like so much to be stinky, but alas... I think my doggie essence will be washed right down the drain.

Dear Norm,

Hee!  Not just yesterday, but also the day before as well, I was caught rolling around in some nasties in the back yard.  My peeps weren't watching me as carefully as they should've been, so it's not reeeally my fault.

My momma refused to let me get near her all night... I think a bath is coming.  I can smell it.  Luckily for me I just got Frontlined a couple of days ago, so that's holding the bath off for another couple of days.

So Ivan Pavlov's dogs drool... yeah yeah yeah.  He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for research pertaining to the digestive system. Pavlov was widely known for first describing the phenomenon now known as classical conditioning in his experiments with dogs.  I still think he's  a meanie for making his doggies drool!  :P

Dear Dan,

I agree!  Did you know that in order to test the amount of saliva, a saliva-catch container and tube was <i>surgically implanted</i> in the doggie's muzzle?  I'd post the link to the picture, but ugh... I feel queasy.   I don't think he'd be able to get away with that kinda animal testing nowadays (at least I hope not).  :o(

Hmmmm, Nicholas would fall into the Amazing Pets category (described as any pet that has "ever saved a life or performed any amazing act of heroism").  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/diary_page.php?pet_id=292106">The Canine Manifesto</a> is <i>clearly</i> performing an act of heroism for doggies everywhere, don't you think?

As for you, Zoe, you would fall into the Talented Pets category (described as a "unique talent", we're given examples such as: "Does your dog know how to whistle? Can your cat surf?").  Uh, yeah.  You and your <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/diary_page.php?pet_id=292103">amazing reading abilities</a> would put the whistling dogs and surfing cats to shame!

Dear Sammy,

My momma just weighed me... and I still weight 22.2 lbs!  I could've sworn I gained some weight after staying with Ruby.  My neck definitely got bigger cos my collar had to be adjusted and I'm on the last notch of it now.

My eating habits have gotten better though - after about two weeks of scheduled feeding, I'm snarfing food down in the mornings now instead of at 2:00 AM.

I think if I had stayed with Ruby for a couple more weeks, I would've been packing on the pounds.  But I would've just worked it off with all the chasing and wrestling we do!

Dear DD,

Ugh, I hate bathtime as much as you do!  My daddy says the expression on my face is so pathetic... it looks like someone beat me.  

But, my daddy gets me really nice and clean - he is very thorough.  My momma sat in on his secret scrubbing technique to get my paws clean, but he didn't produce pink paws during this bathing session.  Momma thinks he just doesn't wanna share his top secret cleaning methods. 

After the bath, I get lots of treatses and lots of playtime!  Then momma grabs me throughout the night to sniff me cos I smell soooooo good.  Oh!  And I get to sleep on the bed... UNDER THE COVERS!  WOO!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was protecting Fran & Herb's place while they went camping/canoeing... had a blast, but I'll let Ruby tell ya all about it (Ruby is a terrier mutt, white with black splotches and speckles... what she lacks in speed, she makes up for in mass... this girl is sturdily built):

--

Dear Fran & Herb,

I hope you two had a good time without me.  *pout*  I missed you two sooooo much!

I have Jason and Nancy well-trained on giving me lots of pets.  A sweet little paw here, a persistent wet nose there... wow, they’re fast learners! Daisy gets jealous and wants attention too so they have to pet us both at the same time.

Let me give you a run-down of what happened while you were gone:

Day 1 - Tues
Nancy arrived with Daisy around 11:00 AM. Intruders!!! I barked at them, and then I peed on the carpet – on the stairs, upstairs, downstairs, and in the foyer. Sorry!

Then I ran upstairs and wouldn’t come down. Nancy came up and found me guarding the waterbed. After many belly rubs, I decided she was okay and I let her walk me. I did my dookie while Daisy ran around the house like a spaz (I think she was looking for you two).

We had a little thunderstorm in the afternoon, but I was fine. .. did a bit of shivering, but that was about it. Nancy thought I was so brave! Daisy was a big chicken though! She hid under some pillows with her head all covered up.

Jason came by around 6:30 PM, but I didn’t pee cos we were outside when we met up with him. Yay!  

Daisy is very mean when it comes to her food! She ended up eating my food and I ended up eating hers. Then she tried to come back and eat her food too! Whatta piggie! Jason suggested that we both get fed Daisy’s food since that would be easier. We’ll try that tomorrow. After dinner we each got a vitamin. Mmm... yummy!

We saw no sign of Harry or Alley all day... but their bowls were empty by the next morning.

Day 2 - Wed
Ahh! My first day alone with Daisy the spaz! She loves to bark at everyone and everything that passes by the front window... of course then I have to investigate as well. So together we bark up a frenzy!

Daisy likes to boss the cats, and they didn’t even get to even finish their breakfast today. Nancy came home at lunchtime and saw that their bowls were only half empty, so she put the bowls at the top of the basement stairs so Harry and Alley could eat in peace.

We both went out for a walk, and we each got a chicken jerky treat before Nancy left me alone with the spaz again.  *sigh*  Back to guarding the waterbed!

I’m eating two-ish cups a day of Daisy’s food... and Daisy’s eating a bunch too! She might actually get some meat on her bones by the end of these two weeks.

Daisy tries to eat out of both bowls, and Nancy has to block her off from my bowl. When I get going though, I chow down pretty quickly. I eat a lot faster than Daisy... she’s such a slow poke!  

I started missing you two a lot and stayed upstairs on the waterbed most of the evening looking sad & forlorn and making lots of doggie sighs.

Day 3 - Thurs
Alley and Harry are getting braver and braver as each day passes.  Of course, there are more Alley-sightings than Harry-sightings, but when Harry does appear, he accepts pets from Nancy and Jason now!

Daisy is a very nosey doggie. I can’t go anywhere or do anything without her following me around. She does the same thing with the cats. She thinks she’s Deputy Dog or something! Nancy and Jason think it’s funny because by the end of the night Daisy is so tired, she can barely keep her eyes open and they don’t hear a peep out of her until morning. They said it looks like someone shot their doggie.

I still miss you two a lot and guard the waterbed most of the day and evening so that Daisy won’t invade our territory and make it all smelly and stuff.

Day 4 – Fri
Daisy is destroying all my toys! Grrr!  She’s managed to hole both socks and has extracted the tennis balls from them.  At least that keeps Daisy busy, as I end up getting all the attention from Jason and Nancy while she’s busy with the tennis balls. Hee!

We had another thunderstorm tonight!  It was a really big, bad one! I was a little nervous, but I didn’t hide...I just panted a lot. I fared much better than Daisy who was entirely burrowed in a blanket. Whatta chicken! Bok bok bok!

Day 5 - Sat
The outside kitties showed their appreciation of continued feeding by leaving a feathered offering outside the basement door this morning. I told Jason to leave it for you guys, but he tossed it in the trash. What a waste. Oh well!

We saw a possum eating the kitty food later on that night... not sure why the kitty cats aren’t eating all their food? I guess they miss you too, Fran!

It’s been really hot this week and it doesn’t look like it’s going to cool off anytime soon either. Daisy and I hung around the house in the evening while Nancy and Jason went back home to check on Howie.

Day 6 - Sun
Daisy and I had a whole lotta fun Sunday. In the morning, we were upstairs wrestling up a storm! I must admit though, that I am the instigator 99.9% of the time. All it takes is a couple of fwaps to the face and Daisy’s all pissed off. Hee! There were paws flying, tails flailing, and ears flopping. We were running back and forth so much, it sounded like a herd of elephants trampling around upstairs. 

We wrestled again in the afternoon and in the evening, but this time we tore it up downstairs! It was fun cos I got Daisy all riled up, and she chased me all over the place, then I turned around and chased her. So fun!

Evidently Daisy eating plenty cos she pooped THREE times today! She’s a poop machine! For a while there, I wouldn’t do my business in front of Nancy... only with Jason, but I’m not so shy about it now and will do it with either of them. Hee!

Nancy was brushing Daisy’s teeth and Daisy made woofers at me! Whatta meanie! I didn’t do anything... I just wanted to sniff her poultry-flavored toothpaste. Sheesh!

I was definitely feeling more comfortable tonight. After all that chasing, I stayed downstairs with the pack and watched the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic channel. I couldn’t stop sniffing Jason cos he had gone home to mow the lawn and he smelled like King... nice and funky.

Day 7 – Mon
I think Nancy and Jason are very impressed with how calm I am... especially when compared with Daisy (did I mention she’s quite the spaz?).  For example, when they get home, I am waiting patiently on the bench, while Daisy’s pawing and making monkey noises at them like a crazy gal! Okay, yeah, so my bum gets wiggly, and I like to jump up on my back legs and try to give them kisses too, but hey, at least I'm calm about it!

Daisy and I wrestled throughout the evening and I even stayed downstairs the whole night gnawing on an antler Nancy had brought over for me.

I had one little accident in the tv room tonight. Sorry! Nancy put the rug in the washing machine. Jason thinks it was because Daisy kept trying to take my antler and that it upset me. I dunno... when ya gotta go, ya just gotta go!

Earlier today, Nancy and Jason noticed that Daisy’s collar was getting a bit tight. Strange?! Upon further investigation, they noticed that her scraggly neck scruff was almost all gone! Due to competitive eating, Daisy’s neck has grown in girth since she’s been here. She probably won’t eat anything for a couple of weeks once she gets home though.

Speaking of competitiveness... we both poopered three times today. I dunno why? Maybe cos we’re more active and playing more? Either way, Nancy and Jason are having to pick up a lot o’ poo! Ahhh, now if I could only train them to wipe me bum too!
 
Day 8 – Tues
We’re getting better at eating together... it doesn’t take me as long to get started and Daisy doesn’t try to horn in on my food as often now. 

Boy, oh boy!  We were at it again this morning... running around like a couple of crazy hyenas upstairs while Nancy was getting ready for work. It was a blast!  Since your bedroom is my domain, I definitely had the advantage. With a running start, I’d jump off the waterbed and attack Daisy. She doesn’t dare invade my territory. Grrrr!

At lunchtime, after a walk & a poopie, Nancy took a nap with us for about 20 minutes before she went back to work. Awww! I wish she could stay home all day and pet me.

Something weird happened... when Nancy got back from work, she noticed that one of your green patio chairs was down below the deck in the garden. Jason wondered if a possum might’ve dragged it down there, but it was positioned upright, facing into the backyard.  Weird! We weren’t sure what to make of that?

We saw a raccoon eating the kitty food late tonight. He was sitting right in the food bowl. He was a big‘un!

Ugh! Nancy grabbed each of us today and gave us a waterless bath. I guess we were getting a little stinky from all the wrestling we do. Daisy went first and I went next... oh the indignity of bathtime! Oh well, at least it wasn’t a full-on, dunk-your-head kinda bath. It will be enough to keep us smelling a little bit better for a while.

Then Daisy and I played all throughout the remainder of the night until bedtime. I love having a pal to wrestle with!

Day 9 – Wed
Today is supposed to be the hottest day so far this year! Ugh! But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to go on walkies. I love walking, but with all the road construction going on around the neighborhood, my paws have taken on a bit of an orangey tinge from the dirt they’ve stirred up.

Daisy’s got wet floppy ears cos I slobbered all over them this morning. I’ve got soggy sticks cos she’s been attacking my front legs. We do a lot of growling and stuff, but it’s all in the name of fun! I think I will actually miss the spaz when she’s gone.

Jason tried to take some pictures of us wrestling this evening, but we were too going too fast for him to capture anything decent on the camera. We had a ton of fun chasing each other all over the house.

Day 10 – Thurs
Today is supposed to be as hot as yesterday. We were having so much fun wrestling this morning! In fact, we were ruff-housing so much, we knocked over the fan in the bedroom. Oopsie! It made a loud boom as it fell over, and Nancy just shook her head and laughed at us. She managed to put it back together, and I think it still works? We both looked very apologetic and scampered away from the scene of the crime.

Daisy’s tail fwaps me in the face a lot when she’s excited... her tail just goes around and around! Nancy and Jason think my stubby tail is cute though.

Something weird was going on tonight... I could feel it. Nancy and Jason were packing up their stuff, and I started to feel melancholy. Who will I chase if Daisy’s gone? The cats don’t like to play rough without getting mean and hissy about it. *sigh*  Nancy’s left some chicken breast jerky and some doggie vitamins for me.

They told me that you two are coming home soon, so I will eagerly be awaiting for your arrival. You have a lot of belly rubs to make up for the amount of time you’ve been gone.
 
Love,
Ruby]]></content:encoded>

Sincerely,

--

Dear Rob,

Your guess is as good as mine... only time will tell.

It reminds me of one of my favorite lines from Seinfeld:

JERRY: So you won't believe what happened with Whatley today. It got back to him that I made this little dentist joke and he got all offended. Those people can be so touchy.

KRAMER: <i>Those</i> people, listen to yourself.

JERRY: What?

KRAMER: You think that dentists are so different from me and you? They came to this country just like everybody else, in search of a dream.

JERRY: Kramer, he's just a dentist.

KRAMER: Yeah, and you're an anti-dentite.

JERRY: I am not an anti-dentite!

KRAMER: You're a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. "Hey, denty!" Next thing you know you're saying they should have their own schools.

JERRY: They do have their own schools!

KRAMER: Yeah...!

Hee!

Dear Norm,

Well, lessee... Ruby and I have been wrestling a lot these last couple of days.  She likes to nibble on my ears and if she dares to work her way down to my sticks, hoo boy!  Sha-CHA-CHA!  The killer sticks explode out into action and whap Ruby in the face a couple of times before I leap away.

I've been eating a lot too... in fact, I've been eating so much that my collar is starting to get too tight on me.  I've still got my girlish figure though.  I can't let Ruby have my food - even though she's bigger than me and weighs more - it's still mine!  And I *must* finish it.

So, as a result of eating so much food, I'm like, pooping three times a day.  That's a lot o' poo to pick up.  Hee!  Sorry momma!

More later,
Daisy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

I actually got pre-approved for a credit card!  Woo Hoo!  I wonder if they know I'm a doggie?  What do your peeps do with all the spam you get through snail mail?

Yours truly,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

Ack! My momma hates getting spam in the mail!  Email spam is managable at least cos you can hit the delete button and it doesn't kill any trees... but all the trees they kill in sending those stupid credit card offers!  Grrrrrr... makes my hackles go into attack mode.

What my momma does:

- Remove all the identifying information and shred it 
- Stuff everything else back in those pre-paid envelopes
- Drop it in the mail and send it back for free

There's less garbage to fill up the landfills, the postman has job security, and the credit card companies end up paying for their junk to get mailed back to them.  I say it's a win-win situation.  Hopefully if enough people do this, those darned credit card companies will re-think their tree-killing, spamming ways.

Dear Hammy,

SPAM is a meat product, mainly made of pork.  There are other varieties too made with chicken and turkey.

The origins of its name are a little sketchy...  here are some guesses:

<b>S</b>houlder of <b>P</b>ork and h<b>AM</b>
<b>SP</b>iced h<b>AM</b>
<b>S</b>piced <b>P</b>ork <b>A</b>nd ha<b>M</b>
<b>SP</b>are h<b>AM</b>
<b>S</b>omething <b>P</b>osing <b>A</b>s <b>M</b>eat

I guess SPAM is like Ol' Roy grade human food.

Dear Sammy,

Check <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.discsfordogs.org/">this site</a> out where you can donate and recycle your old CDs and DVDs.  They are sold in a special bin in the store (for just $1 each) and donate 100% of that money to their local SPCA!  How awesome is that!  So toss in that Air Supply, Loverboy, and Thompson Twins CD and help a doggie or kittie out!

Dear Norm,

Naaah, it doesn't bother me!  A hotdog isn't a <i>real</i> doggie... and it certainly isn't made with doggie parts (but rather pig lips and butts maybe?).

I would totally object to my peeps eating a <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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamdog">hamdog</a> though!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

My tail is kinda short and stubby, but my momma loves it the best!  What about you?  What kinda tail do you have?

Sincerely,
Stubbs

--

Dear Stubbs,

I think stubby tails are cute!  All dogs have 27 bones from the skull to the point where the tail begins. The number of tailbones, however, and therefore the length of the tail, varies from breed to breed.

My tail is pretty skinny and long (just like the rest of me!).  When I'm really excited, it curls up and over my rump.  When I'm really scared (thunderstorms, fireworks, etc.), it's tucked underneath between my hind legs.  My tail gets fairly poofy after a bath.

Dear Daddy,

I seriously don't know...  but it's funny!!!  Lemme fill the other doggies in on what goes on at our house:

- Momma sees a wet spot / stain on the carpet or tile.  
- Momma yells for Daddy
- Momma points out the wet spot / stain
- Momma says to Daddy, "Ewww!  Sniff it... it's not dog pee is it???"
- Daddy sniffs and reports his findings

Momma, I gotta say... that is so, <i>so</i> wrong.  Hee!  Your sniffer works better than Daddy's and yet you make <i>him</i> smell the nasties.  *lol*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Suri Cruise's birth certificate was filed on May 8 - almost a month after baby Suri was born. It's customary in Los Angeles to file the birth details within 10 days of the delivery. A source at St. John's Hospital, where baby Suri was born, tells <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.tmz.com/2006/07/10/exclusive-suri-cruise-birth-certificate/">Tmz.com</a>  the delay occurred because they needed a signature from the parents or a representative of the parents certifying birth, and that person did not come in until May 4. The person who signed for Tom Cruise and wife-to-be Katie Holmes is labeled a "friend" in the document. The hospital source also reveals the 'friend' explained to staff that the birth certificate was necessary for Suri to obtain a passport.

Warm regards,
McGruff

What'd ya do this weekend?

Dear Sam,

The weather was gorgeous for us this weekend!  We had lunch at the park on Saturday afternoon.  Then Saturday night, we went to the Brightleaf Drive-In <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/07/drive-in-doggie-part-deux.html ">again</a>!  Wooo!  I love being able to go to the movies with my peeps!

We got the car loaded up with my big pillow in the back, and off we went.  This time they were showing THREE movies for $5.00!!  <i>Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Click,</i> and <i>Cars</i> (again).  We stayed for the first two only since we had already seen <i>Cars</i> a couple of weeks ago.

It was a sold out showing that night!  That place was so packed, people even parked out on the street and brought their lawn chairs and blankets in just to watch the movies and eat the hotdogs!  

Speaking of hotdogs... my peeps scarfed down THREE hotdogs EACH.  Oh the horror!!  In addition to the six hotdog massacre, they also had two drinks, two large popcorns and a side of fries.  And none for me.  :o(  *sigh*  I didn't even want the doggie treat my momma offered me, I was so hurt.  Gimme some of that tasty human food, ma!

We will probably go more often - my daddy noticed their sign which said they were open year round!!!  :o)  More trips to the drive-in for me!

Dear Lucky,

Yep... my peeps love it.  Great storylines, good acting, and lots of eye-candy.

W00t!  And did ya hear?  BG has nabbed three Emmy nominations this year!  Yay!  Although none of the categories they were nominated in were for the acting or writing, it's a start.

BTW, why are there no animals in on this show?!  Why didn't anyone grab their pets when the cylons attacked?  C'mon!  No one thought to stick their chihuahua in their purse before boarding Cloud 9?  Even ABC's <i>Lost</i> has their resident doggie Vincent.

Dear Puppy,

No one knows... first it was that no magazine was willing to pay enough for pics of Suri, now it's excuses like, "we're busy", "not feeling well", "maybe next time".  Even close pals and fellow Scientologists the Travoltas haven't seen the baby.

Poor Katie.  I wonder if <i>she's</i> even seen the baby?

Dear Pup,

The thunderstorms were soooo bad, the entire house shook from the soundwaves!  I even managed to wrestle my daddy pretty good - what with my sticks and all, I was barely containable.

But back on the pillow I went.  First we tried the towel over my head. That was fine until they removed the towel.  Then I just sat on the floor next to my daddy and that seemed to be enough to keep me from freaking out.  At least I wasn't in the corner, behind the sofa.  :o)

Dear Rob,

Yes!  For the most part anyway... I was doing really good up until after midnight when we got some thunderstorms.  I was really brave, we even took a walk outside when the lightning was visible south of us... that was a light show in itself.  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July. I know how you feel about thunder, and I figure that you probably feel the same way about fireworks. My question is, what are your peeps going to do to help you out if you get scared? My mom is concerned because this will be my first time near a fireworks display and she doesn't know WHAT I'm going to think!

Love,
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/?288069">Maggie May</a>

P.S. My hobbit name is Lila Gamwich of the Bree Gamwiches! :)

--

Dear Maggs,

Hee!  I loooove your hobbit name!  :o)

You are absolutely right about the fireworks... I used to start to shake and pant whenever that happens.  Unfortunately with all the rednecks in the neighborhood, they've already been shooting off the fireworks since Friday night.  *sigh*  

My peeps have been doing the following to help me get over my fear of loud noises like thunder and fireworks:

1.  Don't give your doggie any cues that whatever is happening is bad.  Acknowledge it and move on.  If you get anxious about it, your doggie can sense that and that anxiousness will transfer to your doggie too. 

2.  Don't pamper or coddle your doggie when they're afraid... it will only make them more afraid to garner more attention from the peeps.  Your doggie will never get past their fear if your peeps keep sheltering them and encouraging the behavior.

3.  Keep your doggie occupied so their mind is elsewhere - whether it's through play, going through tricks, or even walking on a leash (which is what we do).  Don't change your doggie's routine.

4.  Expose your doggie to these fear triggers to help them overcome it.  We have a thunderstorm CD my peeps bought.  They have played it softly on occasion to get me used to hearing the thunder.  They don't let me hide behind the sofa, but rather practice the steps above.

These are just some things my peeps do that help me out.  Results may vary, valid only in the lower 48 states (not valid in Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico).  

I hope it goes well tomorrow being so close to all the action.  :o)

Right now, I'm eating mainly the Natural Balance Duck & Potato.  We had tried the  Sensible Choice Chicken Meal & Rice too.  Also my momma recently bought a small bag of Innova Evo for me to try too!  I've never had an interest in eating, but I dare say I've found a favorite so far.

Moose, the jack russell terrier who played Eddie on <i>Frasier</i>, has died.  He also played Skip in the movie <i>My Dog Skip</i>.  His son Enzo shared the parts with him in both of these productions.

He was 16 1/2 years old.  

I never knew he was a pound dog that got rescued before he became a star.  Moose received more fan mail than any of the other 'Frasier' cast members.  :o)

Since I like to sniff butts, I think the more accurate question is: Do poodles have butts?  Is the butt cute, yet sniffable?

The answer:  Yes on all counts.

And yes, poodles are darn cute.  You are one of the smartest doggie breeds around, are hypoallergenic, and extremely loyal to your peeps!  What's not to love?!  :o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

With all the different kinds of doggie foods out there, how does one choose?!?!  My nose goes into overdrive whenever we go to the pet store!

Sniffingly yours,
Sam Sniffinpup

--

Dear Sam,

It's definitely difficult to determine the best food for each doggie since each doggie is different, has different tastes, and perhaps different needs.  Phew!  That's a lot of "d' words in that sentence!

Momma reads the ingredients on all the stuff she eats, so why not do the same with my food?  Herein lies a small problem, what the heck is good and what isn't?!  There aren't any nutritional labels found on dog food.  Meat vs meal?  Rice?  Animal digest?! Um.  Ewww!

Okay okay, so it's a lot more work than she thought it would be to research what is considered "good vs bad" ingredients.  We started off at the <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.dogfoodproject.com/">Dog Food Project</a>.  Great site - explains what the ingredients mean, lists ingredients of almost all dog food out there.  A good starting point, but as informative as it was, it lacked actual reviews or ratings of the brands of dog food.

Then we found out about this site:  <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.dogfoodanalysis.com/">Dog Food Analysis</a>.  A great place with ratings on each dog food explaining why it is a good dog food or not.  It does not include all brands, but the major ones are there.  

It's still important to remember that the best dog food may not be the best food for your doggie.  An informed doggie is a healthy doggie.  :o)

Warm regards,
Doug E. Dachshund

Dear Dougie,

Much of our doggie brains are devoted to smell - in fact, the olfactory lobe which processes the scent is four times larger than a human's.  But it's not only the detection of scents, but also the ability to distinguish each scent.  Smart doggie! 

As a scent hound, you have an amazing nose!  Particularly known for exceptional sense of smell, the scent hounds have historically been a rather fierce group capable of contending with wild boar, cats and wolves.  In more modern times, selective breeding has resulted in some of the gentlest and most laid back personalities of the canine world.

Doggie's noses have been used to sniff out humans (lost, criminal, or other), bombs, landmines, drugs, snakes, gas leaks, fertile cows, termites and even tumors!  Neato!

You are so smart too!  You constantly amaze us with how quickly you learn to do new tricks.  Yes, that means a lot more treats in your tummy, but you definitely deserve them!

You are so gentle and polite, except when it comes to playing with the squeaky toys, cos then ALL bets are off!  The sticks will flail and the woofers will snap, but it's all in good fun.

You complete us.  Life just wouldn't be as fun, as happy, as silly, as everything...  without you!  

Love,
Nancy & Jason

My Dearest Peeps,

Awwww!  I ruv you too.  ;o)  Now, c'mon!  Let's play!

Dear Paulie,

My eyes are kinda golden / amber colored.  Did ya know that each eye of a doggie has three eyelids, the main upper and lower lids and a third lid hidden between them in the inner corner of the eye.  The third eyelid can sweep across the transparent cornea of the eye and clean it like a windshield wiper.  Neat!

What is it about your ears that your peeps love so much?  My ears are sooo long, my humans laff whenever they flop out and are cute like that.

Sincerely,
Bessie  Bassette

--

Dear Bessie,

I don't know why my peeps like my ears so much... yes, they are cute and floppy and soft like velvet, but c'mon people, they're just ears.

My peeps like to gently massage / tug on them - if I can get both of my ears done at the same time, I am in heaven.  Ahhhh...

Of course there are the various ear positionings:

1.  Full on, straight ahead, flap over says: "I'm locked onto something, don't bother, I'm not listening"

2.  One up, one down says (usually involves a bit of a head tilt): "Shhh... I'm listening to something and it's kinda interesting, you may have a slim chance of calling me back"

3.  To the sides, barely at half mast says: "Argh! I'm tired, but I *need* to stay up cos I don't want to miss anything and need to keep and eye on the peeps in case they have too much fun without me"

4.  Flat down, alllllllll the way back says: "Eeep! Thunderstorms again!?  Time to cave!"

5.  Flat down, towards the back and sides: "Bark Bark Barkity Bark!  There's an intruder in or around my territory!"

My mom is refusing to buy me any new toys cos every toy I get, I promptly destroy.  What do your peeps do to keep you from chewing up all your toys?

Sincerely,
Chewie

--

Dear Chewie,

I have a lot of toys, but I'd say 90% of them are torn up, beat up, and chewed up.  Those are my favorites though - new toys just aren't as fun or tasty as the "seasoned" ones.

My momma buys a lot of toys from the $1 bin at Target, but she also buys me some good quality latex squeakie toys too - those last quite a while.  Of course, there is always the reliable Kong that *still* hasn't been destroyed... but one day, I will splay its itty bitty pieces decoratively around me as I thoroughly destroy it.  Until then, I will just have to practice on the cheapie ones.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

What do you love about your dad the most?  What'd ya get him for Fathers Day?  I helped get my dad a new cell phone.  And by "helping" I mean "chewing up" the old one.  

Sincerely,
Sir Bites-A-Lot

--

Dear Sir Bitey,

What I love about my daddy... wow, where can I start?!  If it weren't for my daddy, I wouldn't be with my peeps.  

My daddy was the one that convinced my momma that they were ready for a dog and that I was it!  He was very persuasive and said he would very responsible by taking me on walks every day - and he has!  Every single day!  :o)

He also throws the stick really really far, and I loooooove chasing after it.  I can never get enough of playing fetch with my dad.  

Plus he lets me kiss him as much as I want (so long as it's not on the lips - cos then he won't get any kisses from my momma).

So this Father's Day, my daddy will get lots and lots of kisses in return for all his awesome daddying skillz.

Oh! And wow, what a great idea for a new cell phone!  My dad does need a new laptop...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Wahooooo!  It's the weekend!  Anything special going on this weekend for y'all?  We're celebrating Father's day all weekend with lots of licks and kisses for our dad!

Sincerely,
Molly & Polly Puppigan

--

Dear Puppigans,

Last night we went to the <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.thebrightleaf.com/">Bright Leaf Drive-In Movie Theater</a> (careful with the link - their website is kinda gaudy).  My daddy found out that they allowed doggies, so we definitely had to go!  It was $5.00 per peep and free for doggies!

My peeps packed up the car, brought my big comfy pillow bed and off we went!  It was about a 30 minute drive from where we live to Mt. Airy, NC.  We drove up  around 8:15, found a spot and got out for a walk.  Daddy says I was showing off to the peeps cos I was doing my horsey prance as I walked in front of all the parked cars.  We were stopped by a couple of families telling my peeps what a cute doggie I was and asking what kind of doggie I was.  Plus I got lots of pets... ahhhhhhh!  I loves me some attentions.

After making a couple of rounds throughout the drive-in, and a trip to the concession stand, we settled in to watch the double feature of Pixar's Cars and X-Men 3 - Last Stand.  

Lemme tell ya, my momma was so impressed with the entire family atmosphere going on there.  It was really neat cos the owner came on the intercom, welcomed us to the drive-in, introduced the movies, and explained what was going to happen next...  they played the national anthem on the screen with the words and encouraged people to sing along, and at the end of it, he told us to honk our horns to show our patriotism!  My momma thought that was the coolest thing.  The concession stand commercials they played during the intermission were way cool too - very 50's retro.

I was very territorial of the area around us and when someone would walk by our car, I would growl.  I barked twice, but I shushed quickly when my peeps told me it was ok.  Eventually I just fell asleep cos even though Wolverine is kinda hot, I like my men with more fur.

All in all, it was such a fun night!  I hope we'll do that more often.  :o)

Daisy

P.S.  Pics of my night out can be found on my <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://daisyaday.blogspot.com/2006/06/drive-in-doggie.html">blog</a>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Tomorrow, I have to go to the vet. Personally, I hate it, especially when they cut my toenails. How do you feel about vets and toenail cutting? Do you have any innovative ways to get out of it? Last time I got loose from my collar and by the time they caught me they forgot about the nail thing, but I don't think that will work twice.

Love, 
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=288069&j=t">Maggie May</a>

--

Dear Maggs,

I feel for ya!  I really do!  I hate having my nails trimmed, but my vet does it so fast that even before I can freak out, he's done.

And props to you for escaping the last time - I bet that was awesome!   :o)  Unfortunately I'm not much of an escape artist, but I think you're much more fiestier than me!    I think your peeing idea is pretty good... that'll make 'em think twice.

Can your peeps trim your nails themselves?  Do you think you'd feel more comfortable with that?  My peeps trim my nails at home, but it totally involves a mountain of treats (for each snip they take) and a lot of psych-outs where they're just holding the clipper to my nail.  It helps when I don't see the actual clipping part too.  

Start with lots of praising and treating while handling the paws. Then get the clippers out and hold it to their paw.  Praise, treat, repeat!  Oh, and don't let your peeps be too nervous, you will sense it and become scared as well.

I hope your vet visit isn't too traumatic!  I'll be thinkin' of you today.  :o)

Dear Rob,

I got legs all the way up to my armpits (or legpits)!  

They're great for establishing my space on the humans' bed.  Usually I'll wait until they're asleep... then my sticks will unfurl and expand to their full length.

They usually find their way into a human rib cage or soft belly.

What?  I like close contact.  Makes me feel like we're one big happy pack!

Terrier Ted

--

Dear Ted,

Well, if I'm on my bed, I end up crawling under their bed, which totally isn't safe.  So they've been putting me up on the bed with them. 

Additionally, my momma discovered this entirely by accident, but the other night, when I tried to crawl off their bed to get under the bed, my momma caught me, grabbed me, placed me up by the head of the bed, and plonked a pillow over my head.  That stopped the shivering and the shaking entirely.  I spent the rest of the night sleeping with the pillow over my head.  

Last night, we had some severe thunderstorms as well.  This time, they tried putting just a towel over my head and it seemed to work just as well!  Eventually, they were even able to remove the towel from my head and I didn't shake or shimmy at all.

I guess I might be part ostrich after all!

Dear Sam,

I LOVE cats.  And by love, I mean, I like to chase 'em, I like to sniff 'em, I like to pounce on 'em... but I would never hurt 'em.

Just today, I chased a big ol' cat and tree'd it in our front yard.  Oh man, that was a blast!

I have my own personal cat to bully, but most of the time he just wants to rub up against me.  Ewwwww!  Cooties.

Dear Jen,

*lol*  I am not a perfect doggie, and I do have my moments when I push the boundaries with selective hearing.

Part of it is just luck - my peeps are lucky I'm such a well behaved doggie.  I'm just naturally eager to please and love to learn tricks.

The other part is probably because my peeps make me behave (sit/stay) before I get treats, go for walkies, etc.

Now gimme a treat before I bite you!  ;o)

Dear Pugsly,

I don't have much of a schedule.  My peeps leave food out for me, but I'm not too interested at the time of scoopage.

I have always eaten late at night though - my peeps can hear me crunching away at 2:00 AM sometimes.

No doubt you've heard the news that Brangelina have had their baby girl.  Do you think they'll grow a mohawk on this one?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Pup,

Hmmm, I don't think so.  We've got a mohawk on one, braids on the other... I'd say this one needs a goatee and some long hippie hair to round it all out.

BTW, this family could easily be an 80's Benetton ad.  United Colors of Brangelina!

Dear George,

Well, let's say I *like* other doggies, but I don't really like to *play* with other doggies.  

My first preference is to play with my peeps or any peeps in general.  I could play fetch until my tongue is hanging down to my knees, and I'd still want to play fetch!  

My second preference is to play with dogs bigger than me - I'm not too interested in smaller dogs.  I am not sure why...  maybe cos I think I'm a big dog myself.  WoOF!

Dear Neil,

I had to run off an intruder yesterday morning!  There was a big fat ol' stray golden retriever that had wandered into our yard and my momma wouldn't let me out to chase him!  Boo!  I gots da business to attend to, woman!  

So after she shoo'd him away, she let me out to do my business.  Well... I had to secure the perimeter.  So I sniffed here...  sniffed there... all the while my hackles were up all along my neck and my back making me look like stegosaurus rex!

I even had my hackles up while peeing and pooing!  My momma thought that was funny, but I just had to make the most of my 22 lb frame to look as big and mean as possible, just in case that 70 lb monster came back.  Grrrrrr!

Dear Gus,

Well, all good doggies should have an awesome Google Mail account.  Spam gets directed into a Junk folder.  If any pup needs one, please pmail me and I will send you an invite.

Dear Sam,

I have no clue...  Dallas was a bit before my time and I gather you mean to use the term "star" loosely.

I do know that her soon-to-be-ex-hubby is a plastic surgeon...  in terms of the settlement, I hope he doesn't intend to claim her face, thighs, butts, and cheeks as his.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Okay, I know you're a doggie who keeps up with entertainment news and the ho's - er, I mean, the <i>who's</i> of Hollywood.  What was the deal with Ryan Seacrest and Teri Hatcher?

Sincerely,
Puppy Hilton

--

Dear Puppy,

Evidently it was only one date.  They got photographed kissing.  He dropped her off and called later to say he couldn't do it.  What "it" was?  Friends?  Coffee?  Dating?  Eating?  Cos Teri Hatcher looks like she could always use another sammich.

Seacrest says that it was a "Ryan Secrest" issue, and not a "Teri Hatcher" issue.  Oh, c'mon.  That's as bad as the "it's not you, it's me" reasoning... cos you know, honestly, it really IS you.

Dear Barky,

Possibly.  Word is that Katie took the baby to Ohio to visit her friends and folks - Tom didn't want to go cos they all think he's a wackjob - and Katie was secretly relieved that he didn't come along.

Run, don't walk Katie.

A “confidant” of hers told a magazine: “Katie’s very unhappy and beginning to realize she may have made a major mistake being with Tom.”

Gee.  Ya think?

Yes!  Doggies sweat, but not by salivating or drooling.  Doggies sweat through the pads of their feet!!  So if you notice a curious popcorn smell coming from your dog\'s pads, that\'s just canine sweat.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

What do you think about playing tug-o-war with your humans?

Sincerely,
Humble Hal

--

Dear Hal,

It's FUN and I love it!  I never realized it had such a bad rep.

Some easy rules for your peeps to follow:

1.  The game starts and stops when the peeps decide. 

2.  Failing to release the toy when commanded stops the game as well, as does running away with the toy or becoming too possessive of it. 

3.  Play stops if the doggie becomes too excited or aggressive. Growling does not necessarily indicate aggression during tug-of-war. It is a natural behavior for many dogs.

4.  Never chase the doggie to get the toy back. Offer a different toy instead, or simply ignore him.

5.  Stop playing if the doggie's teeth make contact with the peeps at any time - even by accident. The doggie must learn that it is never acceptable to bite or nip.

It's best that doggies with aggressive or possessive tendencies not engage in tug-o-war.  I always "let" my peeps win.  ;o)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

How can you tell if a doggie is spoiled?

Sincerely,
Nosey Neil

--

Dear Neil,

    * Does your dog beg relentlessly at the table until he's fed?
    * Does he ignore your commands unless there's a treat involved?
    * Does she growl or nip you when you take one of her toys?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then your doggie may be spoiled.

As long as your pet knows his/her place and obeys your commands, you can pamper him or her to your heart's content.  :o)

That sucks!  I'm not a digger/hider myself...  I like to take all my toys and splay them out through the house.  The peeps can't walk anywhere without a squeaky toy squeaking or a nylabone jabbing into their barefeet.  So awesome when the peeps make yelping noises - makes me wanna play!

Dear Frank,

Doggies become loyal not because our peeps feed us, but because of the companionship they give us.  

No one gives hugs and kisses like the peeps who love us!

Dear Puppy,

Blonde or not - there is no such thing as a dumb dog.  After all, who gets to stay home all day snoozin' while the peeps are out working hard to bring home the bacon? 

Anyone who says he works like a dog obviously doesn't own one... I can safely say, most of the doggies here on Dogster are pampered poochies.  :o)

OH my GAWD.  What the #!*&#$! is up with some of these doggies pages?!  With all that flashing going on, I think some pup is going into epileptic shock from the overload.  What happened to LESS is MORE?  It's so obnoxious!  Sorry... just had to vent.

Dear Cranky,

Kinda like parachute pants - I'm hoping the fad will fade into oblivion once the novelty has worn off.

A little tip:  if you're on animation overload, just hit the ESC key a couple of times to stop all that wiggling, blinking, jiggling, and wagging going on.  :o)

Sincerely,
Nerdy Ned

Dear Ned,

Doggies under the sight hound group use extremely acute eyesight to hunt. Breeds from this group include the greyhound, saluki, whippet, and pharaoh hound. Among these dogs, some sources tout the greyhound, which is also the fastest dog, as the dog with the best eyesight.

I definitely have some sort of sight hound in me cos if it moves, I must chase it!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Daisy,

Today I got too close to a black and white "cat" and it must have liked me cos it shared some of its "perfume" with me.  Ugh.  What to do? 

Sincerely,
Smelly Sam

--

Dear Sam,

If by "cat" you mean skunk, and if by "perfume" you mean stench, then sounds like you need a soak.

Methods like tomato juice do require several baths over a number of days and may not be as effective. Doggie shampoos targeted to deodorizing the smell also come with mixed results. According to one Kansas State veterinary technician, a homemade concoction will do well to clean your dog up. Here's the recipe:

Here's a de-skunking recipe to soothe the olfactory senses:

• 1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1 teaspoon liquid soap

Wet yourself down with water and work the mixture through your fur.   Leave the mixture on for three to four minutes and rinse. Be sure to throw away any excess mixture.  This recipe can be doubled if you're a bigger doggie with more stench to wash away.

Good luck!

Dear Wally,

I can't speak for all doggies, but I like to roll in the smellies after a bath.  I gotsta get my doggie smell back somehow - and this speeds up the process!

Plus I like to advertise what I've found to the other doggies.  :o)
