		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just finished my last class for beginning agility.  I passed with flying colors!!!!!!!!!  We got to run an entire course tonight.  Mommy lost her clicker while she was running to keep up with me.  And then she lost her glasses.  I would have done even better if she wouldn't have screwed up.  ;)

We got certificates too!  Mommy said she's going to frame it.  Or at least put it in my scrapbook. 

I'm so excited!  Well, first I need to nap, then I'll be excited.  And I'm going to do intermediate agility too.  I can't wait until that class starts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ha ha.  I've been worrying mommy lately.  See, I'm a super picky eater.  When I was a baby and mommy first brought me home, she bought me some dry food and tried to get me to eat it.  Nope!  I went DAYS without eating.  Mom thought I'd eventually get hungry and give in, but nope.  I literally went 5 days before she finally bought me some canned food.  Ever since then, I've eaten canned food, with a little dry thrown in.  Mom leaves out dry food so I have something to munch on, but I won't eat it consistently.

With the recent rash of food recalls, Mom and I are left with no canned food options.  Either the ones I've eaten have all been recalled, I don't like the brands (and refuse to eat them), or Mom doesn't think they are nutritionally good for me.  So, we're back to dry food.  Mom has been trying several different brands, and we found 2 that I like, and will eat, just not enough to keep me healthy.  We sent a call out to our Dogster friends about what to do now.  The great pups sent back lots of advice and Mom tried some of it.  Here are the results:

Putting some chicken broth over the dry food - Mom did that 3 times.  I refused to eat it every time.

Putting some tuna on top of it - Refused to eat it

Putting some yogurt on top of it - refused to eat it

Putting some cottage cheese on top of it - first time ate all of the cottage cheese and most of the dry food.  The other 2 times, just licked the cottage cheese off the top of the food.  See how sneaky I am?

Mom even made a concoction of dry food, tuna, and yogurt and mixed it all up.  I refused to eat it.

Last night, Mom decided to try her hand at making something for me.  So, she sauteed some carrots, celery, and zuccini and then added some chicken.  After the chicken was browned, she poured in about a quart of stock, and added some brown rice and then let the rice cook.  It was kind of like a thick puppy soup.  She put it in the freezer to cool it off, and then gave it to me.  I wasn't sure about it at first, but then I ate almost all of what she gave me.  She was so happy!!!!!!  I just hope she doesn't try to add any dry food to it.  :)  

The funniest thing is that when I'm at daycare, they put a little bit of water on the dry food that mom sends with me.  And I eat it.  Not a lot of it, but I still eat.  But, if mom tries that - NOPE!  It's fun making mommy frustrated.  ;)

Mommy said that she was going to try her hand at some other recipes.  I hope I start getting home cooked meals now.  I'll have to just keep being picky.  BOL.  Mom did say something about supplements and she wasn't sure that what she made had everything I needed.  She thinks that in tonight's meal (which is leftovers from last night) she might add some cottage cheese and flax seed.  Good thing I like those 2 things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everypup!  I have been super busy lately.  I'm doing agility training, which I LOVE.  One of mommy's friends came to the last class.  I love her.  It was super fun.  I love to run through the tunnels and jump.  And bark at the other doggies.  I sound mean, but I'm just letting everyone know I'm there, and to stay away from my mommy.  I'm super protective of her.

But, last week was a super busy week.  Wed was agility.  Thursday I was tired and recovering.  Friday was daycare, then mommy and I went right from daycare to my granparents' house where there are 8 doggies to play with!!!!  Then Saturday, mommy, grandma, and I went back up to Madison and I had a photo shoot.  Mommy set up an appointment for me to have my picture taken by a professional photographer.  I was a little nervous, but not super scared.  The photographer's husband was the assistant, and I'm not too sure about men.  I didn't like him touching me too much, but he did give me yummy treats.   :)  I got to play, and sniff around.  And mommy even took some pictures with me.  I wasn't scared at all when mommy was in front of the camera with me.  We haven't seen the pictures yet, but mommy can't wait.  They should be super cute!!!!!

After the photo shoot mommy and grandma had to run a couple of errands, and then we went to PetsMart.  I love it there!  But, since I was tired, I was kind of cranky.  Mommy was buying treats anyhow, but she had to open the bag while we were still in the store so I'd be quiet!!  Ha ha.  I knew she'd eventually cave.  :)  Then it was back down to grandma's house where I played some more, and helped mommy feed llamas and ducks.  I herded/chased the ducks.  And then I was nipping at the llamas when they were naughty.  They kept trying to eat the duck food while mommy was feeding them.  Mommy was proud that my herding instincts were coming out.  Then we all went for a walk with mommy and grandma.  Even though I'm a city girl, I like to spend a little time in the country.  It's fun to run through the grass and play with the other animals.  There was a little altercation with my sister, her daughter, and me, but I'm ok.  I only got a couple of scrapes on my back paws and thigh.  Luckily I'm a tough girl and fought back hard.  :)  But mommy was worried and carried me back up to the house and checked me out.  Then I got to lay between mommy and grandma on the big electric blanket.  I got totally pampered.  I even got to sleep with grandma in the big bed on the pillows.  

Sunday, all the doggies and I were tired and spent a lot of the day sleeping.  Of course there was some play time, but it was mostly sleeping.  Then I got to go for a walk with my brother Bart, and my best friend Zach.  That wore us out and we all slept some more.  Mommy and I came home Sunday night, and I was exhausted.  I slept all night Sunday night, and then had daycare Monday.  Then I got to visit my friend Riley.  I just wanted to lie down, but he wanted to play, so I played a little bit, but then laid down.  Once I finally got home, I ate some dinner and went to bed and slept ALL night long.  Luckily mommy doesn't have anything planned for me today, so I get to stay home and sleep all day.  And then cuddle with her when she gets home from work.  Whew!  I need my rest for agility class tomorrow!!!!!!

I hope all of my pup friends out in Dogster land had a great Easter and a happy Passover!!!!!!

PS - Mommy's arm is doing even better.  She only has 5 more degrees to go before she can straighten it all of the way.  Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Every week after her physical therapy, we do a happy dance for the progress she made.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, mommy is finally healed.  She got the go ahead from the doctor last week to take her splint off and she started physical therapy too.  She isn't completely healed, but is able to do lot more than she could before. 

Mommy enrolled me in agility class.  We had our first class last week.  It was super fun.  Mommy said she was super proud of me.  I sometimes bark at other doggies, especially if I want to play and I can't.  But, I didn't bark at all.  And I wasn't afraid of any of the equipment.  Actually, mommy and the trainer had to tell me to stay so I wouldn't take off before I was supposed to.  And, I actually went on a couple pieces of equipment when mommy wasn't looking.  I couldn't help it!  It just looked so fun!!!!!!!!

A lot has been happening the past couple of months.  I've been keeping mommy company.  We went and visited my grandparents, and mommy has gotten me lots of toys and treats.  She bought me some of those "interactive" toys that dispense treats when I roll them around.  I have 2 different ones that I love.  I like to take them to bed with me, but mom doesn't like that.

I'm looking forward to being back on Dogster a lot.  I missed all of the great pups here!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everyone!  It's been awhile since I've been on Dogster.  A couple of weeks ago mommy  fell and fractured her wrist and broke her elbow.  Today she bought some speech recognition software that  that helps her work on the computer a lot more efficiently.  So finally I get to update my diary and e-mail all of my pals on Dogster.

The past couple of weeks have been fairly eventful.  First there was the day that mom fell.  I was right there when it happened and I rushed over to her and licked her face so that she would stop crying.  Mommy had to go to the ER that day, but they didn't see the broken bones until almost a week later.  Mommy spent most of that next week laying in bed, resting her arm.  And I was right there with her.  We were at grandma and grandpa's house,  so there were all sorts of doggies and kitties around, but I made sure that I protected mommy from everyone.  We finally came back home almost a week later.  I was so happy to be back in my own bed.  But mommy had to go to urgent care that night, and that's when they saw that she broke her elbow.  So there was a few more days of her laying in bed and resting her arm.  On Monday she got a cast.  Unfortunately, she still can't do a lot, so we haven't been able to play or go to the dog park, but being the good mommy that she is, she has made sure to get me plenty of chewy toys and some new interactive toys.  And she's made sure I've had an endless supply of raw hides.  Hopefully I get to go back to doggie day care on Monday.  I really miss all of my friends there.

That's all for now I'll try to update soon.  Things are everyone's good thoughts and prayers.

Love, licks, and sniffs,
KIARA]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think I've mentioned this before, but I have 2 cat siblings named Mia and Obi.  Mia and I have been getting along better.  Sometimes we play just fine and sometimes she doesn't want to be around me.  But just recently she started cuddling with me and mommy.  One time, she even used me as a pillow!!!!

Now, Obi does not like me.  I don't know why, I'm a super nice pup!  Everytime I walk past him, he either hisses or growls and then runs off.  Sometimes he'll swipe at me, and a couple of times he actually hit me.  But, just a couple of days ago I was in a super playful mood and wanted to play with him.  I got one of the kitty tennis balls and was trying to play with him and the ball.  He just sat there, but he didn't hiss, and didn't swipe at me.  I tried giving him the ball, but he didn't want it.  But, that was progress!!!!!!!  Mommy was so happy.  Hopefully we'll keep getting closer and closer.  I really love my kitties, and I just don't understand why they don't love me too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so excited!  It finally snowed.  I know that Colorado and other places have gotten a ton of snow, but here in Wisconsin, we've only had 1, maybe 2 significant snow falls.  And all of that snow melted WAY before Christmas.  Mommy didn't have to work yesterday so we went outside and played in the snow a little bit.  It was super cold so we didn't stay out for long, but I did run around and get crazy in the snow.  I was sniffing something, and when I brought my head up, my nose and face were covered in snow.  Mommy almost fell over laughing!!!!!!

Mommy and I also spent the day cuddling.  She wrapped me up in my favorite blanket and we snuggled on the bed.  We did venture out later in the day, but that was only because I was out of rawhides!  So, Mommy, one of my Aunts, and I went to the pet store to get some rawhides.  I love it there.  I got treats, and there were all sorts of things to smell.  And, I hadn't seen that Aunt in a while, so I was super happy to see her.  I was wiggling my butt like crazy and trying to give her kisses.  But then I calmed down and sat in Mommy's lap during the ride.  

Mommy said that we were going to play in the snow a little more today.  I hope so!  Even though it's cold, I love the white stuff.  And, we always cuddle up to get warm afterwards, so that is really my favorite part.  ;)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my first entry of the new year.  Mommy and I have been busy.  Actually, mommy injured herself and spent most of last week in bed resting her knee and working from home.  I kinda liked it because it meant I got to cuddle with her while she worked on the computer.

I'm slowly getting back to my old routine. I've gone back to doggie daycare and even met a couple new pups.  I have a new friend who's a husky.  I didn't like him the first day because he was constantly in my face.  But, by the 2nd day, he learned that I will play when I want to, just don't bug me.  Now we are great friends.  My favorite doggie at daycare wasn't there this week though.  I missed him.  I can't wait until the next time I go, because he will be there.

I'm hoping mommy and I go to the dog park or for a walk this weekend.  Since she hurt her knee, she wasn't able to take me last week when it was really nice.  Now, it's cold and rainy and snowy.  I hope there is at least a little bit of good weather this weekend.  Mommy said she misses playing with me.  I miss it too, but I love to cuddle with her.  And I'm so tired after daycare that I'm happy just to snuggle with her and get scruffs.

I'm having a great time on Dogster.  I'm super involved in one of the groups (the Princess Diva & Prince Charming group), and try to keep up with a few other groups.  There are so many super active pups here!  Sometimes it's hard to keep up.  But I've made some really nice friends here.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everyone!  Mommy and I got home a couple of days ago.  We had a fun holiday with my grandparents' and Aunts.  I got to play with my brother Bart, my best friends Zach and Mimi, and my new friend Sue.  We were there for 6 days, and all we did was run around.  I've been sleeping most of the time.  I'm one tired pooch!!!!!!!  Mommy's been napping too.  

I got lots of Christmas presents.  Actually, one of mom's gifts was a bag of stuff from my Aunt for me and the kitties.  My Aunt got me a pair of doggles, a bunch of doggy treats, and a new car harness.  I used to have a car harness, but I'm just a little too big for it.  So my Aunt bought me a new one.  My Aunt bought the kitties a new jungle gym, catnip, and a bunch of treats.  They love their gifts!!!!  Mommy bought me a new toy and a new coat.  I'm so excited!!!  She also bought me a Santa bandanna, and a Christmas collar.  I don't have any pictures of me with my presents yet, but mommy said we'll take some this weekend after I have a bath.

I hope everyone had a happy holiday!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I completely forgot something.  Mommy bought me a Santa bandana last night.  It's red velvet and has some white fuzzy stuff on it, with a bell.  She says I look super cute in it, but I don't know.  She said something about taking pictures while I'm wearing it.  I suppose I'll have to sit still for those.  She almost got me a Hanukkah one, but I was barking at the guy in line behind me, so she didn't.  I hate jingling!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy and I are gearing up for the howlidays.  Last night we did some of our Christmas shopping.  I got my best friend Zach and his sister Mimi a really cool fleece ball.  Mommy has gotten one for them before, and they loved it!!!  But they destroyed it.  So, we got them another one.

Today we go down to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  I always have a lot of fun there, but it's exhausting.  There is so much to do, and I'm always on guard.  I don't relax a lot.  So mommy promised that we'd come home next week so we could have some relaxing time at home, just us and the cats.

I hope everyone has a very happy and safe howliday season!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday I had a photo shoot.  Well, it was really mommy taking pictures of me.  The best part was I got a lot of treats.  But, she couldn't put the pictures on her computer right away because she forgot the thingy that lets the pictures travel from the camera to the computer at one of her offices.  At least that's where she thinks it is.  So silly!  

My healing is coming along nicely.  Mommy gives me cheese every night with my pill.  And I haven't spit the pill out since the first night!  Mommy said she was so proud of me.  And I'm not licking quite as much.  I try to hide it from mommy, but she must have X-Ray vision because even if I'm not facing her she can tell I'm licking and tells me no.  But, she's been giving me lots of cuddles.  And, I'm getting a little break from doggie daycare.  I'm so tired all the time.  Mommy thinks I might be going too much.  She said she misses playing with me.  So, I didn't go today, and Mommy said we're going to go to the dog park this weekend!!!  Woo hoo!  I love going to the park!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season and gets lots of cuddles, belly rubs and yummy treats!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mommy had to take me to the vet.  I have a hot spot on each of my front legs and mommy was worried about me.  The vet gave me a shot to stop the itching, and mommy has to give me pills every day.  I was not happy by the end of the visit.  But mommy said I will get a special treat with my pill everyday, so that will be good.  Oh, and I have to stop licking the sores.  Mommy keeps catching me licking and tells me no.  That's no fun either.  The Dr said that they should be healed in a week or so.  Here's to hoping!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woof everyone!  I've been so busy!  Mommy has been taking me to doggie daycare 3 days a week.  I'm so tired from all of that playing!!!!  We went to a new daycare last Friday, and I didn't have quite as much fun as I do at the other daycare.  At the new one, they put me in with all the little doggies.  Now, I love little doggies, but I'm used to playing with big doggies.  I know I'm not very big myself, but most of my playing time is spent with German Shepherds, other ACDs (who are actually normal size), Pit Bulls, and Labs.  I'm used to playing rough with them.  I'm afraid I'll hurt the little doggies.  Mommy is taking me to this daycare again this week, but she told them that I might be a little more active if I'm in with the big dogs.  They said they'd start me out there and see how I do.

At my favorite daycare, I have a new boyfriend.  Well, that's what the owners say.  We love to play together and flirt all day long.  Luckily we're there on the same days so we get to see each other twice a week.  I hope my other boyfriend doesn't mind.  I only get to see him a couple times a month since he lives at my grandparents' house.  I can't help I'm super cute and all the boys love me!!!!!  Besides, a princess diva is supposed to have lots of admirers.  ;)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woof everyone!  Whew, this has been a busy week!  Mommy and I got back from the holiday Monday morning.  We went home so mommy could get ready for work, and then she took me to doggie daycare.  I was so tired from all that activity I slept most of Monday night, and Tuesday night.  Then Wednesday it was more doggie daycare.  Then more sleeping (of course with some eating, kitty chasing, and cuddling mixed in).  Then yesterday mommy decided she wanted to teach me some new tricks.  So she put my coat on me and took me outside.  She taught me to turn around, which I'm getting good at.  And I just learned that yesterday!!!  And today, I'm at doggie daycare again!!!  I love it there.  And mommy feels better knowing that I'm playing with other doggies instead of hanging out in my crate at home all day long.

Finally, I want to say how nice everyone is on Dogster.  I love being a part of this community.  Everyone has been super helpful to me.  And I enjoy trying to help others.  Thanks everyone, you're pawesome!!!!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woof everyone!  Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.  Mommy and I just got back from grandparents' farm.  I had so much fun chasing doggies and kitties.  I'm exhausted.  But, there is no rest for the weary.  Mommy scheduled me for doggie daycare today, so I get to go see my new friends too.

Thanksgiving was great.  I got a little bit of turkey, but a lot of rawhides.  And, mommy and her sister got us doggies some yummy biscuits.  The weather was fantastic so I got to play outside a lot, which was great since winter will be here soon.  

I also made a new friend, kinda.  There was a new puppy born on the farm in September.  I haven't been too sure of her, but this weekend, we really bonded.  She slept with mommy and I.  We cuddled, and wrestled, and she followed me all over the place.  I guess she's kinda cute, as long as everyone else remembers that I'm the cutest!!!!!!!!!!!  Mommy always pays attention to all the other doggies.  I want all of her attention.  She tries to make sure I don't feel left out, but they all love her and want her attention and scruffs all of the time.  I get crabby and bark at them to leave her alone.  Mommy doesn't like it when I do that.  :(]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woof everyone!  Hope you're having a great holiday week.  My mommy and I went down to grandma's and grandpa's house for Thanksgiving.  It's so fun down here.  I get to play with my brother, my best friend Zach (he's also one of my pup pals), and about 10 other doggies.  We spent the day running outside and napping.  I'm so  sleepy from so much playing.

Mommy said that she got me and the other doggies treats for Thanksgiving, and she got us all yummy rawhides to chew on.  I love coming here and seeing all the doggies.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Barks & wags everyone!  Yesterday I had some of my energy back, but I put that to a naughty use.  First, when mommy and I went out to the car, I saw a squirrel and chased it up a tree.  Then, when mommy was distracting me, it snuck down and ran across the parking lot to another tree.  I took off after it.  I don't understand why mommy was so upset!?!?!?  

Mommy took me to run errands with her, and I barked at everything that we passed.  It was all too exciting!!!!!  I love to ride in the car!!!!!  When we got home, we curled up together and took our Sunday morning nap.  I love our weekend naps!!!!!

But, the fun had to end sometime.   And that was bath time.  Mommy had been putting off giving me a bath because I've been sleeping so much, but I needed one.  After nap time, she called me into the bathroom.  I didn't want to go, but I always do what she asks (well, almost always) and went in there.  She closed the door and I knew that meant bath time, so I jumped in the tub.  Mommy was really happy when I did that.  I really don't like bath time, but I'm a good girl and just stand there.  Mommy tries to make it go as fast as possible since she knows I don't like it.  Then she dried me off, and wrapped me up in the towel and a blanket so I wouldn't be too cold.  Now I'm so pretty and fluffy!  And I smell nice.  And my fur is super soft.  That's nice, but I still hate bath time.  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday I went to a different doggie daycare.  This one was bigger with more doggies.  They were so nice there!  They sent a note home with me telling mommy what a good puppy I was.  Mommy was nervous about me going to daycare, so she was very happy to hear that I got along with all the doggies and even made new friends.  

I am so tired from playing all day.  I slept all night last night, and have been napping all day today.  I'm pooped!!!!  Mommy wanted to go to the dog park today, but I just looked at her, and then crawled under my covers and went back to sleep.  The napping is even contagious.  Mommy curled up with me and took a little nap today too.   She said that we'll go tomorrow after I've regained my energy.  :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Greetings everyone!  I have so much to say, but mommy's been hogging the computer.  I finally got some internet time.  Whew!!!

This past weekend we went to Grandma and Grandpa's farm.  They have a lot (12!) dogs on the farm.  I love going there and playing with everyone.  My brother Bart lives there, and my best friend Zach.  We were all a little crabby though.  Even though we were all in bad moods, we had some fun playing.  And on top of that, mommy bought me a new travel bed.  I love it.  It's so comfy!!!!

Yesterday was my second day at doggie daycare.  I was so excited to go there.  As soon as we started walking up to the door, I started pulling on my leash.  And I was super excited to see the nice ladies there.  But, when mommy came to pick me up, they told her that I was barky all day long.  I wasn't my usual, happy self.  But I still had fun playing, and made some new friends.  Mommy said that we are going to try another day care too.  There isn't anything wrong with the one that we go to.  In fact we love it there.  But, there are so many choices, that we might go to a couple of them.  We love variety.  :)

I love daycare though because I'm so tired afterwards, mommy and I can just cuddle up while she does some work.  And, I can chase the cats in the house.  I always have energy for that.  Mommy doesn't like it when I do it, but they are just so fun to run after.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woof everyone!  This is my very first diary entry.  Everyone will get to know me over time, so I'm just going to fill everyone in on my latest adventure.  My mommy took me to doggie daycare for the first time yesterday.  At first I was a little confused because I never leave with mommy when she goes to work in the morning.  I was trying to go into my crate like I'm supposed to, and she kept calling me over to the door.  Finally, we got our stories straight and I got to go for a very rare morning car ride.  

When we got there I was a little nervous because I don't like leaving my mommy, but I had met the nice ladies at the daycare before, so I was really happy to give them kisses.  There was already a big dog there when I got there.  Mommy seemed a little nervous to leave, and I didn't want her to go, but I was a brave doggie and just watched her leave. 

When mommy came back later that day, I was a tired puppy.  I played all day long with the other dogs.  I was the smallest one there (well, except for the Rat Terrier), and I was the only girl.  I was super popular.  I had so much fun.  We went to my favorite dog park and played for a long time, and we played inside the rest of the time.  We did have a nap time, and I took advantage of that.  Mommy brought a blanket for me to lie on, and she brought some food.  I ate it all up.  Mommy was impressed because usually I'm super picky and don't eat dry food by itself.  I didn't care, I was starving!!!!!!!!!!

The nice ladies at daycare said I was one of their favorites, and they hoped I would come back soon.  Mommy is going to take me again next week.  I was so tired after daycare.  I was excited to see mommy, but I fell asleep in the car, and then once we got home, I ate dinner, and then spent the rest of the night sleeping.  Mommy was amazed.  Normally I like to play at night and get up several times during the night to go potty.  Not this time.  I only got up once, but only because I hadn't been outside in 5 hours!!!!!

So, that was my first experience with doggie daycare.  I liked it, and mommy liked it.  She said that I'm going to start going on a regular basis.  She feels bad when I'm home alone and she's at work.

Thanks for reading my first entry!
