		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HI Dogster fur friends! I wish that you all could see the Thunder Basketball Team play in Oklahoma. The team is the BEST! I love Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook! They are the best in the NBA!!!! 
I am so glad that I was a good dog today because  I got to get on my computer and type up a poem. 
I also looked up Kevin Durant's page. I wrote him a letter.
I have been playing chess with my family. I am a very Happy Dog.I want to thank all of my good friends for the fresh vase of flowers for my mom and giving us your love and patience. My mom was unable to get on her computer because she was so busy! I thought of all of you everyday. I have save a lot of money so I could buy you cupcakes and ice cream this summer. I have really missed barking at many of you so very Much! 
I also want to thank Bailey NWD and so many good fur friends for all of the sweet treats and paw mails. 
I really appreciate the Thunder Team because they do so much charity in Oklahoma.
Recently, we have thunder storms and we almost had to miss church. I was upset and I used my paws to pray for no severe weather this week. I also want to make a mention about Sweet Scooter she is the best BFF!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow! I wish that you all could see how Beautiful the snow is that made a blanket in Oklahoma. I love the snow but I will not be able to play in it today. 
I am home today because I was playing chase on Sunday with my family and I rolled over and I hurt my back a little. Do not worry my fur friends I am a strong big boy. I will get better. I am on meds this week.
I want to thank my sweet girlfriend Scooter for all of her love and patience. I was not on Dogster for over a month because we got locked out of Dogster by accident. I am so sorry and I missed All of you so very Much! I also want to thank Tess and Bentley for all of the sweet treats and pawmails. I really appreciate you all and I am very Grateful for Dogster and all of my true pals. Many of you are so valuable to me as fur friends. I could never be the dog that I am without you as my fur friends. Please pray for the doggies and kitties out there that do not have loving homes. Today is a snowy and cold day in Oklahoma. I pray for no severe weather this week. We are warm and we are all doing fine. We thank you for all of the encouraging words to my best girl Scooter. she was very ill last month but I believe that she Is doing much better. I miss her because she lives in Oregon. We have never met but we are close and have been BFF for many years.
Happy Snow and Happy Tail Waggin to all! Love from your buddy, Rufus]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow! what a busy year...i am going to school, I helped raise money for a rescue dog charity in Oklahoma. I did not even get time to carve a pumpkin this year. However, I did receive a big box of goodies, presents, and wonderful treats from Dr. Scooter and family. I was so thrilled that it kept me busy all of October. Our computer was down..and now I am ready to rock and roll and get all of my pawmails caught up. I love the Fall weather here in Oklahoma. It has been in the 80's all week. I love the falling leaves and acorns too! I know that the acorns will bring out those pesky lil squirrels with long, bushy, and silly looking tails. I cannot wait to chase some squirrels and JUMP and PLAY in the the beautiful orange leaves.
Love yalllllllllllll! see you in the funny papers...BOL

Here is my poem.
I love fall.
I love treats.
I love falling treats. 
So Let's eats. BOL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Geez! It's getting cold in Oklahoma! Today was 54, cloudy & kind of chilly. I miss the warmer weather because I love to swim in my swimming pool. I have big blue one and  I LOVE it. I am not allowed to swim by myself because I get into trouble for trying to run & jump into in it. I would start out fast and run up the side. My fur sister Lola barks if I try to get in the pool. I am glad that Lola is very protective over me. I'm an inside pup but I sure do pray and think of those pups and kitties outside in the cold temps. I have a cute story, My sister leaves water out for the stray dog that we call Lola, she's sweetheart. 
We love having her out here with us because she keeps us all happy. She is always at the door to greet us in the mornings. We're thankful for Lola and her friendship.I look forward to sharing my holidays with Lola. I wish Dr. Scooter could me her! and I love all of my sweet friends on Dogster for wishing me a happy fur day. Have a Safe Howl o weenie. Tail Wags to you.

Rufus and Lola]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had a few issues and concerns at our local park where I run and my mom walks/runs.
My mom was on tv and these are just a few things that she said.
1. Try to run or walk with YOUR Dog and or a partner.
2. Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
3. Carry a cell phone with you while running or walking. 
4. Wear comfortable athletic shoes, apparel, and you may use a hat to block the sun in the summer.
5. If you plan to run or walk at dusk or in the evening. Wear brightly colored clothing and try to wear something reflective so that other trail users can see you easily.
6. It is best if you do not use headphones but if you need to listen to music keep the volume low enough to hear others that are using the trails.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hu! Fur Pals! Would you Please welcome Lola my fur sister. We are not sure what breed she is but we hope that someone on Dogster can help us identify her. She is adorable and shares the lawn with no one, she loves the outdoors, she loves the sprinklers and her cozy new home. she gets ice cold drinks and she get snow cones on really hot Oklahoma days. We love her, We are so proud to finally introduce her to the world. Lola is amazing with small children and she is so kind to others. she loves to Play with Rufus...and she is also still looking for Bob Briarwood the cat.,(he has been missing since early Spring)
So please welcome Lola, she is shy but always smiling and happy to be here in Oklahoma and here at Rufus Allen home. She is a nice addition to the family. We Spoil her!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Why own a dog? There's a danger you know,
You can't own just one, for the craving will grow.
There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger.
While living with lots, you'll grow poorer and stranger.

One dog is no trouble, and two are so funny.
The third one is easy, the fourth one's a honey.
The fifth one's delightful, the sixth one's a breeze,
You find you can live with a houseful of ease.

So how 'bout another? Would you really dare?
They're really quite easy but, oh, Lord the hair!
With dogs on the sofa and dogs on the bed,
And crates in the kitchen, it's no bother, you've said.

They're really no trouble, their manners are great.
What's one more dog and just one more crate?
The sofa is hairy, the windows are crusty,
The floor is all footprints, the furniture dusty.

The housekeeping suffers, but what do you care?
Who minds a few noseprints and a little more hair?
So let's keep a puppy, you can always find room,
And a little more time for the dust cloth and broom.

There's hardly a limit to the dogs you can add,
The thought of a cutback sure makes you sad.
Each one is so special, so useful, so funny.
The vet and food bills grows larger, you owe BIG money.

Your folks never visit, few friends come to stay,
Except other "dog folks" who live the same way.
Your lawn has now died, and your shrubs are dead too,
But your weekends are busy, you're off with your crew.

There's dog food and vitamins, training and shots.
And entries and travel and motels which cost lots.
Is it worth it you wonder? Are you caught in a trap?
Then that favorite one comes and climbs in your lap.

His look says you're special and you know that you will
Keep all of the critters in spite of the bill.
Some just for showing and some just to breed.
And some just for loving, they all fill a need.

God, winter's a hassle, the dogs hate it too.
But they must have their walks though they're numb and your blue.
Late evening is awful, you scream and you shout
At the dogs on the sofa who refuse to go out.

The dogs and the dog shows, the travel, the thrills,
The work and the worry, the pressure, the bills.
The whole thing seems worth it, the dogs are your life.
They're charming and funny and offset the strife.

Your life-style has changed. Things won't be the same.
Yes, those dogs are addictive and so is the dog game.

My family would get upset because they thought that I might hurt myself. I probably would have so I am glad that they are very protective over me and my health. I am an inside doggie but I sure do pray and think of those pups and kitties outside.
I want to share a short story with you:  My mom and I leave out water for the stray dog...that we sort of adopted. She is a sweetheart of an older  dog. We call her Lola (after the the Flintstones cartoon)
We love having her out here with us because she keeps the unwanted critters out of our yard. We always check on her in the morning and at night. We are very thankful for Lola and her friendship. Lola makes the summer cooler and we love hanging out with her. I look forward to sharing her picture with all of you. She is like a Big sister to me. We are not sure of her breed. She loves blue, she loves the water sprinkler, and she loves to eat meatloaf. I hope that all of my friends on Dogster will welcome her. Anyway,
to all of the pups and kitties Please have a Safe and COOL SUMMER! 
Woof! Woof! Tail WAGS to you.
Rufus]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.
Pablo Neruda]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Saint Patrick is most known for driving the snakes from Ireland. It is true there are no snakes in Ireland, but there probably never have been - the island was separated from the rest of the continent at the end of the Ice Age. As in many old pagan religions, serpent symbols were common and often worshipped. Driving the snakes from Ireland was probably symbolic of putting an end to that pagan practice. While not the first to bring christianity to Ireland, it is Patrick who is said to have encountered the Druids at Tara and abolished their pagan rites. The story holds that he converted the warrior chiefs and princes, baptizing them and thousands of their subjects in the "Holy Wells" that still bear this name.

There are several accounts of Saint Patrick's death. One says that Patrick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, on March 17, 460 A.D. His jawbone was preserved in a silver shrine and was often requested in times of childbirth, epileptic fits, and as a preservative against the "evil eye." Another account says that St. Patrick ended his days at Glastonbury, England and was buried there. The Chapel of St. Patrick still exists as part of Glastonbury Abbey. Today, many Catholic places of worship all around the world are named after St. Patrick, including cathedrals in New York and Dublin city]]></content:encoded>

On the wings of an eagle,
My love for you flies.
Soaring higher and higher,
And touching the skies.

And pulled a star from the sky.
To place it within,
Your precious minds eye.

To dwell there forever,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, I wanted to find the Perfect Valentines Present for my sweet Darling Dr. Scooter. My sister and I  baked a fresh homemade Valentines Day cake for her. 
(You will see the cake in the picture #2) I hope that Dr. Scooter likes her cake that I baked for her special day.
Originally, I had planned to buy a present but I shopped all day on the internet for the perfect gift for her. However, I did not have any luck finding the perfect gift for her. 
My sister thought that I should bake her a cake. Of course, my sister helped me...because I do not have thumbs to frost the cake. 
I think that my cake looks really delicious. It's a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate pudding the center and strawberry cream frosting with little heart sprinkles. 
Tomorrow morning I plan to send my cake to Dr. Scooter. 
P.S. I hope that the postmaster does not eat it before Scooter gets it. BOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Birthday Really started Out GREAT! on Thursday eve, Sept. 8th. My family acted all suspicious all day. I kept seeing wrapping paper pieces in the trash and little blue ribbon pieces all over the table! BOL
I received a birthday letter in the mail.
I was surprised with a magazine subscription to Dog Fancy. I am look forward to seeing all of the dog pictures in it!
**First, I wanted to take time to THANK all of my pup furs for taking the extra time to make my birthday so very furry special. I was up till midnite reading all of the great birthday wishes! 
Birthday morn. I woke up to my family who was dancing and singing Happy Birthday to me!
My birthday consisted of reading alot of pawmails, chasing a ball around all afternooon, then I watched some football, My mom came home with a Huge Poster from the kids at the school that decorated it with all kinds of very cute pictures and messages! I got an hour long walk, then my favorite treats. Pedrigree Dentastix, and some other yummy delights. It took me all Friday and Saturday to hide all of my new birthday treats. I even got emails & offers from my pup pals like Nicola, to help me hide them...BOL.
My Bestest Girlfriend, Dr. Scooter sent me a Big Birthday cake, kiss, and extra Birthday hugs.
I was suprised by Boo Boo, Brandie, Jenna, Family of Duke, Howard, Jessi, & crew. The Family of Sophie Claire, Harley Davidson & family, Lexi, Bailey, and Ra. I received extra zealies & treats! For me it was like Christmas eve here in Oklahoma.My human sister got a Year Subscription to the magazine "Dog Fancy! She is going to read it me...i am still learning to read. Right now all i can read is that the pesky 
squirrels in MY Yard...need to go away and they all need to quit tanting me thru my bedroom Window. 

Love you all Wet kisses and tail wags all month! Rufus Sternlof]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Football Season! This wonderful time of the year IS my favorite time of the year...especially since it is 76 degrees! Most of you all know that we had "extreme HOT!" temps this summer in Oklahoma. I did not get to play alot of football or baseball outside this year like in the past! I had to stay in and play with family..we watched alot of movies..i learned a trick..
Last month we had a small scare. my left paw was the size of the golf ball and swollen red. i itched and licked it all night. 
My sister googled about it and we got lots of tips. We soaked it every hour. in luke warm and salt water.
but for safe measures my fam took me to the vet. He said that i got an ant or wasp bite on my paw. We agreed that it could have been...when we walk we go by this bush that had wasps. WE have sprayed and called professional but the big black and red wasps keep coming back. My vet said whatever my Sister did "worked!" so thanks to big sister. R. She's happy that it is all better. I had to take Benedryl & an antibiotic for a week.
So all is Good!Paws up!  I say thanks to my Dogster pals for the prayers. FYI: At 6am every morn...my mom walks me & we say a big prayer out loud to God. We say a prayer for all my pup pals on here.(like you) We say thanks for everything..so i say thanks for you! I love my early outside walks!! with mom!
God Bless all of you!
Tail Wags and licks of love, Rufus Allen Sternlof]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ June 4, 2011. Saturday at 7:00 am. My Family and I arrived at Pryor, OK. I was thrilled to watch my MOM run in this 5K. I saw some flags that adorned the packet pick up area. Thunderbird Race director, the humans were organized and helpful.  I also noticed that the volunteer staff were smiling & welcoming the runners. Thunderbird Academy Cadets were all lined up in military style. Growing up with military background...this site made a nice memory of my younger days of being at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. They kept petting me and wanting to take pictures with me! At the finish the cadets that had finished lined up the finish area and cheered in every runner! i could see MOM and I loved this. There was  cold water and one of the Cadets took his hand and Gave "ME" a Big Scoop of water! even thought I Did Not Run...of course not..i am too spoiled..it was HOT!!out of this large horse water tank. Mom was very glad that there was  a water stop along the grueling hot 5K run. 

Mom just ran hard and she  placed 1st in age and in top 10. I really liked the medals they had the date and year on them. The race shirts were good too! i love the red color.id not begin until 8:30 due to fun run.
we plan to return to Pryor next year. I love to travel with my family!]]></content:encoded>

Youre bound to rise up singing

Nothings going to harm you no
With daddy and mama standing by

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ i cannot say how much saying I love to someone is the best gift in life:
Love and romance go hand in hand. Love from a dog/ or kitty stays with time. That is the reason why guys all across the globe try and find new ways of expressing their love and passion for their girlfriend. When a Dog writes a romantic poems is it very special.Writing romantic poems for girlfriend is one of the most traditional ways of showing love. Pups love to receive poems from their beloved describing their beauty and qualities. Pups love to get pampered. What else can flatter them so much? Besides a Zealie that last forever.

Romantic poems are one of the best ways to share your honest feelings with her. A tender Kiss/lick is strong enough to sweep a girl off her feet. But if they are far away that is impossible so here goes my poem to that special girl farway.
 
Dog toys are red
Dog bones are blue
This romantic poem says I love you!
Have a sweet summer of love to you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi fur pals!
It looks like it has been awhile since i have updated my diary! Now that it's summertime,  I think that my mom and sissy have a t more time to write for me. I am so thankful! (as you all know my typing skills are nothing to brag about) BOL

First, I am going to catch you all up on my health since my back surgery in January 2010. I've been doing really well. I'm always very thankful to my vet and my doctor who performed my successful back surgery and my family. I have been trained not to jump on the bed. Wow! It's been so much easier for me. My Dad built (hand crafted a 5 foot ramp out of cedar) It wraps around the edge of my dad's bed. I can go up and down whenever i please. (Cool!)
 
*Another really cool thing is my Dad also built a very special ramp but also he made a small side bed for me...or it is a box like type thing that i can lay in. it is really cool!
Mom wakes up and opens our shades and I can lay in my little bed that is attached to the ramp. i can watch all of the pretty beds and watch or bark at the pesky squirrels... that is my update for now!. I love all you...fur pals...Stay cool this summer! Drink lots of water. Stay healthy and to the dachshunds please use stairs or a ramp to get to high or low places. :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Be Mine! Dr.Scooter,
I loved you first: but afterwards your love"

by Christina Rossetti
Christina Rossetti

Dr. Scooter, Will you be my Valentine for 2011?Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song
As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.
    Which owes the other most? my love was long,
    And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;
I loved and guessed at you, you construed me
And loved me for what might or might not be â€“
    Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.
For verily love knows not â€˜mineâ€™ or â€˜thine;â€™
    With separate â€˜Iâ€™ and â€˜thouâ€™ free love has done,
         For one is both and both are one in love:
Rich love knows nought of â€˜thine that is not mine;â€™
         Both have the strength and both the length thereof,
Both of us, of the love which makes us one.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanted to list some Christmas facts and tips:

**Holly berries are poisonous.

**Contrary to common belief, poinsettia plants are non-toxic.

**Mistletoe was chosen as Oklahoma's state flower in 1893 and later changed to the state floral emblem.

**In 1843, "A Christmas Carol" was written by Charles Dickens in just six weeks.

** The first state to recognize the Christmas holiday officially was Alabama.

**Christmas became a national holiday in America on June, 26, 1870.

** An angel told Mary she was going to have a baby.

** Clearing up a common misconception, in Greek, X means Christ. That is where the word "X-Mas" comes from. Not because someone took the "Christ" out of Christmas.

** Traditionally, Christmas trees are taken down after Epiphany.

** More diamonds are sold around Christmas than any other time of the year.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and my human sister have been taking Saturday afternoons to read about early Christmas traditions: 
they wanted to share with all:
I love the pretty Christmas tree. I have been hiding my treats and bones under ours. I love it when the lights are are..they really sparkle and make my black coat look so shiny..i can see where i hid my bones too! 
Here is one fact: 
Christmas trees have a long and exciting history. During the pre-Christian era, people and tribes often had holy groves and trees where they sacrificed to the gods. The trees were most often oak or ash, and they symbolized a connection between heaven and earth. Similar ideas are found in the Old Testament â€“ trees symbolized wisdom and life.
 
Merry Christmas to all of my fur friends and Happy New Year too!
Love and lots of tail wags

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My beloved University of Oklahoma Sooners Football team just lost their first game of the season! We lost to the Mizzou Tigers... so now we are 6-1. (Ugh!) My family was all stressed out about that terrible loss! I told mom to dust it off and get ready for the next game! My family is so competitive..(grr)The whole thing about Football games still perplexes me!
I am just dog who was named after a former Sooner Football player...so I guess that i am supposed to be jumping around and screaming for these guys in red & white tights, big shoulders, and big metal/plastic hats.... I think most of the players are all running down a nice big green lawn...which I would love to go run and play on that big green lawn....yes...yes
I have to "Root for my Sooners for the next couple of weekends!  The Sooners play the Rival team in Okla. It's  another college team called the Oklahoma State Cowboys. I thing that we play in late November. 
I really  hope the outcome is good! It will affect the Thanksgiving weekend! the better the outcome of the Bedlam game! More treats, kisses, and play time for me. So here's to the Sooners! Boomer Sooner!! Go Team! 
Love, Rufus]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanted to share some good news about my Vet. Dr. Matt McQuade at Kickingbird Animal Clinic. I wanted to tell everyone that he really saved my life. He put me back on a good road to recovery before and after my back surgery. In December 5,2009. My New Vet Dr. Matt McQuade discovered that i was pretty sore and I had a limp right back foot. I was at the Vet for my regular Annual Booster and Exam, Heartworm Test, and Rabies shot. However,when I was at the Vet's office. I skampered and whined in pain..little pain at the time. But my Dad and the Vet noticed my actions. Of course, My mom said yes that i had not been pooping like i used to. They immediately took an Xray. It was worth every penny. I needed to have Back surgery ASAP!! This surgery is pretty common in us little dachshunds.
Dad,Mom & Dr. Matt McQuade & Dr. "Skip" Tanger made immediate plans for a back surgery in January 2010. I was immediately put on Methocarbanol and Prednisolone for pain. 
As most of you know. My surgery was on January 22, 2010.
Day before my Mom's own Father Died (Diabetes) complications.
I was the worst lived week of my Mom's life! But Prayers and Many Many prayers..and 8 Months later. I am totally 100 Percent! I can walk, run, and play and love on my family. But more than anything I wanted to share that My Dad, Vet, Dr. Matt McQuade, & my back surgeon Dr. "Skip" Tanger. Are all to be thanked. I am planning my 9th birthday, One of the presents will be a thank you gift to my Vet! & Surgeon. Thank you Dogster Pals & Friends & the Dogster Website for the prayers. I have pics of my back and cut after the back surgery but mom does not want to post yet.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ O' Lord, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
So many are saying,
"God will never rescue him!"
But you O'Lord are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who Lifts my Head High.
I cried out to the Lord,
and he answered me from his Holy mountain.
I lay down and slept.
I woke in safety,
for the Lord was watching over me.
I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies 
who surround me on every side.
Arise, O Lord
Rescue me my God!
Slap all of my enemies in the face!
Shatter the teeth of the wicked!
Victory comes from you O Lord
May your blessings rest on your people.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Rufus had surgery for his back.
This information is  kind of an example what he has experienced. 
We are praying that his neurological exam on January 21, 2010 report is good!
**
In surgical cases time is of the essence, the longer the disc material presses against the spinal cord the more damage it does. Your dog can go from walking to not walking overnight. Durning that time they start to loose nerve impulses, the last is deep pain, which is bone pain. This is tested by pinching the dogs toes and watching for a response. A withdrawl is not a "real" response, it is a reflex. Deep pain response is dialation of pupils, crying, if the dog is panting it may stop, they even turn to look at you or the toe you are pinching. 

If a neurological exam determines the dog may need surgery they will undergo a procedure to determine where the herniation is. Either a myelogram (dye study of the spinal colum) or MRI can determine this. Spinal x-rays cannot and are generally not helpful to a neurologist. Myelograms generally can take from 30 minutes to an hour start to finish depending on the size of he dog and how well the dye flows through the colum. MRI take significantly less time, but in most cases they are not always accessible. Surgery is usually performed in the same day, they animal goes from myelogram to the OR. Depending on your surgeon it could be another hour. The process is quite simple, locate the lesion, clear it out and get out. 

Expect you dog to stay overnight at least for 24-48 hours depending on the extend of the lesion, and their condition prior to surgery. After surgery you will be required to keep your dog on STRICT cage rest for 2-3 weeks. This means carrying them outside to potty and right back to the cage. 

Picking a surgeon. It is my personal experience that I would recommend you find a neurologist/neurosurgeon instead of a general surgeon. no offence to the good ones out there, but they tend to cut corners. Dr. Chauvet (the neurologist I worked for) was adament about fenestration. Fenestrate means window, and it is when the surgeon creates windows in the discs above and below the herniation, this process helps in the event of a second herniation. If that happens the disk has a place to go and is directed away from the spinal cord. If you choose to go with a general surgeon ask if they do this, if not, ask why, and if they will, or can. Consider a university for the surgery, but don't expect it to be much cheaper than a neurologist :) 

.Asking for many prayers for Mom to be strong and get Ru back home and get him his much needed strict cage rest or home rest...without NO Pain for Ru.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...could use some thoughts and prayers.
Her back once more had given her trouble,but this time it is far worse.

Now her disk have calcified and the vet said he said it could snap at any time. She no longer can stand on her hind quarters. He has her on steroids and he said if this doesn't work, she is going to have to have surgery and that may not work at this point. She went down so fast. Either that or she just tolorate it until she couldn't any longer. Mommy Nancy is going to have to carry her outside or to the potty pad. She can't do it on her own any more. They gave her an IV as she was dehydrated. If this med doesn't take care of the pain, he will put her on something.

Will you please pray that the meds will help her,She can't walk.Her upper spine does not look good.The Dr said from the looks of the three discs they could go anytime. If that happens it will be Tucker all over again. She is going to scream with pain. She is partially paralized now.She is going to have to learn how to get around without the use of her hind legs.
Taking a deep breath.....please send some thoughts and prayers...the POP to my wife Princess

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Can you believe it is  December already?
This summer we have been going on  awesome walks with my family,  around a nice big lake called Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City, OK .
It was fun, but i got lazy. My mom had to take a part time job and now it is so cold here in Oklahoma and  I have gained 2 lbs..ugh, needs a treadmill. 
 I went to the vet today because my back was little sore.  I had sit down because I was so heavy for my mom to hold me. I did not have fun at the vet. I just wanted all of  my mom's attention.
Now that I had a vet visit I bet that we  go walking around a lake of water more this weekend. for that matter winter season.
I saw a kitty at the vet she said hello to me I thought that she looked a lot like Tessa on Dogster. We gave her a can of  kitty food.
Should I ask for a treadmill for Christmas present from Santa?
Love and laughs,
Rufus Aka. Ru Ru]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi From Rufus:
I hope that all of you have a very safe and yappy Howl O Ween.
I was a hotdog this year but I only kept my costume which was a big silly Hotdog bun...with ketchup  on it..silly huh? BOL
My mom has been so very busy training for an upcoming marathon..she wants to get on Dogster more for me. But she is busy. Our friend adopted an abandoned doggie. Her name is Lola and we are trying our best to take good care of her. She had alot of vet visits but is All good! We want to keep her at our horse barn but she still runs up to her old home which is a 1/2 mile up the road. So we have to go look for her today. 
I love it when my mom gets on Dogster Because I  Always have some good Dogmail from my very best buddy,Charlie. He's the best pal ever! I love all of my goodies that I got from Charlie. Oh also I cannot forget my fur friend, Jessi. She's a great fur friend too. Check both my pals doggie pages:

It was fun, but i  got lazy and mom had to sit down with me while others went on bike ride. I had fun...i just wanted all of her attention...the  walking/ biking trail  goes nine miles around a lake of water, on golf course, 5 restaurants , bikers, runners, rollerbladers, kites and lots of dogs..oh i saw a kitty in the trees and mom got concerned about the little one but when we walked back by the tree the kitty had a mom. so they must live there with her family becuz we saw kitty food for her yesterday...anyway..we have enjoyed some time off but mom is telling me to be patient and we will go out more if i dont tear up my bed pillow...(stuffing everywhere)]]></content:encoded>

Watch the birds play outside.
Watch those pesky squirrels.
Car Rides.
Watch Sooner Football Team play.
Sleep really close to my moms legs and side.
Crawl under blankets.
Get treats.
Chew on doggie treats.
Hug and kiss my human sister
Snuggle with Ryan my human brother
Jump up on his bed at 6 am to get him up for school
Run, Run, Run, Run
Car rides
Bark at those pesky squirrels.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Sweet Sissy Paws,
The choice is mine,
I woke up early today, excited over all that I  get to do before the clock strikes midnite...I have responsibilities to fullfill today..
(protect my families home and protect my mommy)
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be  thankful that the grass is getting watered for  free. 
(or I don't have to! BOL)
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases more wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can Rejoice that I am Alive!
Today I can lament over all of my parents didn't give me when I was growing up, or I can feel grateful that I was born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns, or  I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today, I can mourn my lack of friends, or I can exitedly embark (or Bark!) upon a quest to discover (a new  dog or human) relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work, or I can shout for JOY that I have a job. I can bark that I have fur friends like you to share this letter that my mom found one day..(it was given to her years ago) When We miss someone or we both feel down we read this.
Love ya Sissy Paws! Miss your sister too! 

Rufus in Oklahoma]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™ve been tagged by my friend Ziggy Moonbeam so here goesâ€¦ 
Hi Friends. I see you caught my ( lucky charm!) football pass. Here is what you should do next! 
1.  Pass A ball or lucky charm or a bone to 5 of your teammates so they can make a  play.
2.  Write down 5 things about 
3.  Then ask all those who visit your diary to leave you a bone so you will know they have been there! Okâ€¦Here goes the play!

1) I love to hide all of my bones in my mom's plants and when i get them out i get dirt all over the floor. (but i never get in trouble.)

2) I  will  stand on my hind feet and walk across the floor to get a treat.
3)  I am also not allowed in the living room anymore because  I can shove  the pillows off of the couch and scatter them all over. (like Ziggy Moonbeam!)
4) I  get to drive the car down the driveway (when mom is in a good mood!) 
5) Iâ€™m a  not vegetarian . I  eat lots of meat and protein because of my running in races.

I will pass the football to:
1. Ziggy Moonbeam, a true blue Duck fan!
2. Mallory, 858201
3. Pippin, 632167
4. Moxie Mayhem, 767817
5. Gizmo, 124429]]></content:encoded>

 Here in Oklahoma WE have had temps in single digits this week.. We     got lots of ice and  sleet!! But, this morning- who whoeeee!
 We even got some nice soft snow...not used to this cold little powdery stuff...it is fun but a little too wet for me.
I have about 3-4 inches tall little fast legs and yes you know I fast..but this Snow stuff  slows me down. I pretty run outside and get my business done and then run back inside....BOL
(other than that we are staying warm inside) Oh! I did sneak one of my mom's Girl Scout Cookies early today. but i did not get into trouble...yet)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi all. Well this is my very last entry for the year 2008. I am so very Happy that my mom signed me up on Dogster. It has been so much fun to be on here. When I had my 4th birthday I had about 100 birthday wishes and when I was sick in November I had so many Pawmails and Prayers for me to get well.  The dogster has been a great support for me and my family through some " Ruff Times" I am so Thankful for my pals on here.  I love Tessa, ,Ziggy, Brandy, Puglsy, Nicola,Dr. Scooter!! (there are many more that I need to mention but mom has to get up for work in two hours. :)
 Thank you Dogster and to all of my wonderful and supportive pals on Dogster. Thanks for the words of encouragement, the laughs, the cute pawmails and the cute pictures! Please pray for Charlie!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Choice is mine! I woke up today. (Election Day 11-04-08) Excited over all I Get to do before the clock strikes midnite! I have responsibilities to full fill today.
I am Important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today, I can complain because the weather in Oklahoma is rainy or...
(Hey, afterall it is Oklahoma!)  or I can be Thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today, I can feel sad that I do not have any money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to (Pray more) or to plan my future purchases more wisely and guide me from waste.
Today, I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice in the Lord that I am alive!
Today, I can lament over all my parents did not give me or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today,I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today, I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today, I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy that I have a job. 
Today, I can Rejoice and share my love for my Pup pals on Dogster!
Today, is mine.
What is yours?]]></content:encoded>

Well, I made alot of furry friends this past weekend at the pet resort. 
I decided this time during my stay at the resort, to work out more, run more, and swim more this trip.
I took my doggie  Ipawed. I mostly listened to the oldies but my mom downloaded some newer songs for me. (Cold play, Maroon Five and  Brad Paisley,  Bee Gees, and even Olivia Newton John! (she is still hot)
I have to get some sleep  zzz now, because it was reported that I was singing out loud again at the resort.
 My voice is hoarse. I have been whispering since I got home today. (need some honey and lemon) BOL!
Nighty night!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On October 17-19, 2008.  I went on my first camping trip with my human family! I got to eat -alot, sleep -alot, fish -alot and I got to Mark -Alot of TREES! I was in  "Heaven!"
Whew! There were green trees, yellow trees, red trees and cedar, sycamore trees, and more trees. We went to the Eastern part of Oklahoma called Green Leaf Lake.  All Dogs are very Welcome there! 
I talked to many other camping doggies...... we barked, marked, shared pet trick secrets. Mostly on how to get more treats from our human moms and dads.
I really loved our private cabin.  It was set right off of the camp grounds with our very own fishing dock. There was  a cool ramp to run down to the dock. I got to  chase my human brother and human sister. I got to pee anywhere and I really loved sniffing all of the fallen leaves, squirrel tracks, fishing stuff, hiking trails, and lots of great Fall smell goods. 
We cooked out hotdogs one night and some really big fluffy looking things called marshmellows.  I love the hotdogs but the marshmellows were too sticky!!! yuk! I dont like getting  that gooey sticky stuff on me.... because I am black and it shows up and then my mom wont let me sleep in her sleeping bag with her. I had fun and I wished that the other dogs on dogster and cats on catster could have gone camping with me!! Maybe Next time!!  Talk to you soon!
Have a Happy Fall!! Happy Howl O Weenie too!
Love, 
Rufus]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I had a Pawsome weekend at the pet resort. I was stayed up all night on Friday and sang to the girls next door! (Atleast that is what the pet resort lady told my mom today!) It was reported that I sang : " All Night Long!"  I  really enjoyed singing all of the oldies and Motown to the sweet girls next to me.
 "Baby Love, Baby Love!" " Stop in the Name of love" " Love me Tender, Love  Me Sweet!"  
I sang out loud. " Ain't nothing but a hound dog crying all the time!!
Well, I cant even bark out loud  today... i am so hoarse...I am gonna get some sleep) 

(whispers - baby love, baby love)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh it is almost that time of year! Erie,  Eeky!! Boo! Scary.... but fun
Howl O Ween that is! I am  just not sure what to be this year for Howl O Ween 2008. I want it to be a nice costume and fit me great!
When I was 1 years old I was a Construction worker. I got a  prize for the most look like my owner. We were both Construction workers. 
When I was 2 years old I was a Karate Kid
When I was 3 yrs. old I was a Sooner Football Player. (got a prize for the cutest at the pet store boy the football helmet and pads were heavy. 
Now that I am 4 years old (young really) not sure what to be ....lobster suit would not be fun...the little legs all over the place... i want to be scary but my face is just sooooo Cute. I could never pull that off!! tee hee!
Any suggestions??
Boo!

Today it is nice weather her in Oklahoma (about 88 degrees) no extreme heat. It  feels like Football Season to me. I hope that you like reading my diary and I hope that you enjoy the picture of me with my new basketball jersey.  (except I mostly just tear up tennis balls and chase baseballs.)]]></content:encoded>

I was very worried about the extreme high and hot temps for the other pups. I hope  that all of the pups are getting plenty of water and rest. Stay inside if you can- beg your mom and dad to let you stay inside.  I have even been helping around the house. ( I do dishes, I clean my bowl!) lol! I can take the trash out and  I mean literally if you leave the bathroom door open ,I will take out the trash and scatter it everywhere! FYI: I did not know that  this was bad until my mom told me.  anyway I always  try to help. These paws are made for mopping!

The Governor has issued a State of Emergeny!  However,  Rufus and his family managed to stay warm with lots of blankets and lots of love.  Rufus's mommy stayed very comfortable and  warm  because Rufus stayed snuggled under the covers by his mom's back side and kept her warm!!!! He deserves lots of treats for Christmas!! Our power turned back on today and we are  blessed to have our power back on and we are very blessed to have Rufus in our Family!! He kept us warm and safe in the dark! We love our Rufus, baby Ru, little Ru Ru and baby boy!!!! God Bless everyone with a little bed warmer like our Rufus!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom has been shopping for me a really kewl " Howl- O -Ween"  costume this year.  Last year I sported a "Karate Kid"  outfit and I was honorable mention at a local doggie store. This year my mom and dad are going to come up with a better costume for me and hopefully  I will win!  If not, I know that we will have Paws of Fun! (Hint: It 's  Oklahoma's 100 Birthday!)]]></content:encoded>
