		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Malcolm's foster mom Sandi came to visit a few weeks ago. Malcolm showed her his stuff. Running in the back yard. It was a really nice visit.
He also got a new bandana (his security blanket) Red, white and blue.
And he got a bath today. Too much people food. His allergies flared up.
Now we just need to get him in for a nail trim soon.]]></content:encoded>

Mom bought 2 green ones with white paw prints on them & red trim. & bought gold glitter & wrote my name on mine & Sophie's  (sister-cat) on hers. Dutch, Tippi & Spencer have had there's for years & Mom said we needed one too. Me & Dutch are also getting a Christmas present. Even though I don't know it yet.

Oh yeah, I got a bath last night. I was scratching & my skin was red. Today I am much better! ...I still am not fond of baths though.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I went to the Drs. & I am doing very well. Dr. Jen said she cannot believe how much I've changed since the first time she saw me. & how great I look. My coat has grown back some & it's smooth & shiny. & I just look happy & healthy. She said I was a Charlie Brown syndrom. Mom had to ask what that meant. 
Mom seems to pick animals that look like a Charlie Brown Tree, takes them home to get them all better & give them love. lol.  She found that funny. ...& true evidently.
But anyway, I got my shots & my nails clipped. & I'm good to go for awhile.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Me & Dutchess have a Dr.s appt. Tues. It's just a check up for Dutch & update her shots & booster shots & check up for me. I don't like shots so Mom is hoping somehow this goes smoothly.  
Will update Tues. after voting & vet appts. 

I do have to switch dog food. I'll be on another allergy dog food that doesn't cost so much. I'll like it. I like anything that's edible!
All is well.   :-)

Oh yeah!  Mom's brother was at the Humane Society adopting Sasha last week. A kitten, when he saw mine & Dutchesses santa picture & a news article & picture of me on the wall.  Dad says we are stars!!]]></content:encoded>

Dutch & Sohie (cat) came in to see what was going on. Sophie sat on the toilet & watched. Dutch would watch, then leave, then come in again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to go out back where it's not fenced today & run like the wind! I get so excited when I get to do that. Mom takes my leash off & I run to the other end where dad is as fast as I can. I love to expend that energy. I may be 12, but I love to run! I did it about 4 times & started to get tired. Then I got sidetracked 'cause the neighbor dog (who was fenced) started barking at me. Sooo, I had to run over & see him and bark back face to face. Mom wasn't to happy. She kept calling me as I ran & I didn't pay any mind to her. I had my own agenda.  Mom came over & got me .  I get sidetracked easily by other animals. 

Oh yeah, me & Dutch got bathes today outside. All I can say is....yuck!
Mom took my bandana off & I looked at it, then at her & nudged her to put it back on. That's my security blanket & I don't like it off. I had to get the bath 1st. Then I got it back on.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom & dad took me & Dutch out back where there's no fenced yard today, in the way back yard! Dutch always gets to go 'cause she knows to stay in her yard. This was my 1st time. When I was new here I'd try to run away. I'm getting better. They each went to an area in the yard & dad would call me & mom would let go of the leash. I ran right to him! & he gave me a treat for doing that. We did that at least 5 times. & I ran like the wind to him each time. I ran as hard & fast as I could. It was fun! Mom said I could have done this last year if I wouldn't have tried to run away. I'll get more leash time out there again. I probably won't ever get to be off the leash like Dutch, but this is good 'cause I can still run real fast on my own. The back yard is fun...but the way back yard where there's no fence is much more fun!
They said we'll do it again soon. Yeah!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My allegies are making me scratch more often so mom gave me ANOTHER bath the other day. It helps but I'll tell ya. I dig my nails in & don't budge when it's time to get one. & I sit. That makes it harder to get me up & in. They always seem to get me in any way though.
 I look great! My fur is really soft & shiny now. A nice shiny black. Not dull any more.
A bonus is I get a treat when I'm done for being a good boy when I'm in there.

Dad gave me another nick name. Malcolmator. I think it's kind of cool.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ May 28th was Dutchess'  birthday. She turned 13. Mom got her some yummy treats for her day. Which also means that I get yummy treats too! We got a good one the day before her birthday, a really good one on her b-day & another one the day after. We celebrated for 3 days!
My birthdays coming up in July. Mom took a guess at the month & gave me day of the 4th to make it easy to remember. So, I'll get some more yummy treats for MY big day soon!

_____________________________________________________

I have also become the protector around here. If I'm laying upstairs with Mom or Dad & I hear a noise I'll get a low rumbling growl in my throat.
Mom's glad I fit right in here & made my self at home.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got a bath tonight. I was scratching, so Mom said I needed one for my allergies. I don't like baths like I used to. Mom has to pick me up (no easy task) & put me in the tub 'cause I try to run. If dads home he puts me in. I don't go easily anymore. I'm all better now so I don't think I need one. But I did notice I'm not scratching now. 
Me & Dutch are getting some "Frontline" put on us tomorrow too. Had to get the bath 1st so it won't wash off.

Oh yeah...& now that it's getting warmer I like to lay on the deck out back & sun myself. I lay with my head tilted up toward the sun & my eyes mostly closed. It feels good. & my human grandma got me & Dutch a huge new water bowl for outside! Mom keeps it in the shade on the deck for us. I'm likin' grandma. She gives us a treat every time she comes over too.]]></content:encoded>

I love car rides & get excited when I see my leash.
I had to get my yearly shots & nose drop thing they do. I fought for awhile then gave in and relaxed so they could give me my shots. They had to muzzle me & have dad just about lay on me when I was on the table. I just don't like shots. But then I relaxed. I got some treats after. I weigh 53 pounds & the Dr. says I look really good. My teeth look good too she said. 
We got my special dog food. Mom donated some old blankets to the doggy hospital there & then came home where we got more treats.
I'm pooped from all the excitement. 
Gotta go snooze now.]]></content:encoded>

There's no way that Dr.s giving me a shot. I'm like a bucking bronco when it comes to that. Mom said dad's coming to so he can help her with both of us. I'm guessing me more though. I'm a loving guy at home...but I'm telling ya, I DON"T like going to the Dr.. I don't care if it is for my own good. I'm not going to make it easy. Mom said if I do I'll get a treat when I get home.  Hmmm, I'll think about it.
....but don't count on it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love it when grandma comes over. Dutch & I get all kinds of extra goodies. Everyone came here for dinner & grandma gave me treats & little bites of human food too! Mom went to the bathroom & I thought that was my chance to counter surf but great grandpa busted me & I got down with nothin'. That was a bummer. After awhile I took a nap on the floor with Ambia. She & I laid our heads on a big pillow  & she petted me till I fell asleep. It was a great day today!]]></content:encoded>

Dutch still has her whole bone & I'd really like to get my paws on it. She just licks at it & when she's done mom puts it up till she wants it again. Mom had to wash my bandana. She asked me if I used it as a bib when I ate the bone 'cause it was all yucky & sticky.
Mmm Mmm good!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dutch & I got our nails trimmed yesterday. We're looking sharp!
We love going bye-bye. When mom says those words we get all excited & jump around like jack rabbits while she tries to put our leashes on. Actually, as soon as we SEE our leashes we get excited.

I've grown attached to my collar & bandana. When Mom takes them off I don't like it. Then she rubs my neck & I'm OK.  When she picks them up to put them back on I stick my neck out toward them 'cause I want them on.
Dutch likes having her eyes rubbed lightly.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom busted me counter surfing last night. Now she knows how I do it.
I stand on my hind legs near the counter (I can see everything up there this way) & look to see what's up there within reach. I'll do this a couple of times & when I see something (anything)  I'll go for it. It doesn't matter what. I've pulled tupperware off the counter & licked the inside & chewed the outside. Of course it has to be thrown out then. Now they push stuff back as far as they can....but sometimes I still get something! ...even if it is only salad dressing from a packet. I'll eat the packet too.  They're getting better at keeping stuff out of my reach...but not good enough yet! I've got long legs. & my neck reaches pretty far too!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I still get a bath regularly. Mom puts this prescription leave on conditioner on me after my bath & it helps with my allergies. I'm down to one to two pills a week & that's it! Besides my special dog food. & she squirts this stuff on my food to make my coat soft & shiny. It tastes good too.

We'll be adding some more Christmas pics soon of me & Dutch opening our Christmas presents. & me getting my belly rubbed.]]></content:encoded>

Mom left for an appt. & when she got home found garbage scattered all over the downstairs kitchen, LR,  & hallway.  & I found the butter dish on the counter & chewed that & ate the stick of butter that was in it. Mom was not amused & grounded me to Cassies bedroom for 4 hours all by myself.  ...I was not amused with that. I love attention & not getting any really upset me.  Everytime I tried to come out mom would just shake her head & point back to Cassies room telling me I was a bad boy.  I would hang my head & go back.

Mom REALLY wishes I would stop doing this. & she can't believe what an iron stomach I have. I didn't even get sick from the butter.]]></content:encoded>

I always do well & when I got done Mom gave me a treat & told me I was a good boy. I got a good treat too. My human grandma got me & Dutch a box of flavored dog goodies for Christmas & boy are they yummy.
Oh yeah, & Mom got me & Dutch  each a really big beef flavored bone for Christmas too. We made out good this year!

Since the baths are helping with my skin & coat I don't have to take pills as often. Maybe a 1/2 a pill once or twice a week. That's it! It used to be every day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says counter surfing is not a sport & I need to stop. I think she's wrong. I might have to take a poll of the other doggies. I was just trying to help myself to some cake & ice cream at dad's birthday party last week when two of the guests busted me & hollered at me to get down. I did, but wasn't to happy that I didn't get anything. Oh well...I'm sure there will be a next time even though mom hopes not.

My fur is getting nice & shiny from this stuff the Dr. has mom squirt on my food. Some prescription medication. It's not as straw like either. Not real soft, but not as bad as it was. I'm looking & feeling good. My tail is always up in a curly cue now. Yeah!...I mean woofs!
Dr.'s on Wed. for a check up. Mom's gonna have to remind them that NOBODY will ever take my temerature. And they'd better not go near my butt with that thermometer thing. They haven't gotten one yet from me & never will. I just don't like it.]]></content:encoded>

I helped myself to some pumpkin fudge & a 12 oz. bag of chocolate chips. The vet says I'll be ok. ...I didn't even get a belly ache! & boy was it good! Mom wasn't too happy with me. The choc. chips were for dads birthday cake & now she has to go buy more. & she can only get the pumpkin fudge once a year at a festival, so she's really not happy about that.

I helped myself to a tea bag in the trash today. Mom busted me with the string & bag hanging out of  the side of my mouth & took it away.  So I didn't get to eat it.
She thought it looked pretty funny though.

I had to wear my hoodie outside tonight just to make sure I was warm in case I had any damp spots from the bath. I'm just too cute!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I went back to the Dr.. They have me on some new pills for my itch, & some stuff to squirt on my food for my coat. My coat does have a little shine to it now. They'd like to do an allergy test, but I can't be off anything too long or I itch like crazy & get red.
They're still working on it. We'll get it figured out.
I'm still on my special dog food & treats. They are yummy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I'm itching. We have to give this new allergy dog food & treats 6 weeks total. Mom thinks I'll be going to the expensive pills instead. They are the last resort. The Dr. wanted to try the food 1st 'cause being on steroids too long isn't good for me. ...the other pills aren't steroids.
Wish me luck!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

& if you notice in my pics I don't have any front top or bottom teefees. The Dr. said I was probably kenneled a lot & chewed on the bars til my teefees got down to nothing. ...I can still chew the heck out of anything you give me though. I've got the rest of my teefees!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom & dad took me & Dutchess to the Dr. for our check ups  & my booster shot. I'll tell you, I don't like shots at all & I let the Dr. know it too. A little lunge & growl...she didn't like that & won the match. I had to wear a muzzle for a few minutes til she got the shot done. Then she gave me a treat & we were buddies again. yeah, yeah, I know...it's for my own good. I've heard that before.  But mom & dad were there to help calm me down.
Anyway, we are trying a new dog food & treats for allergies to see if I have a food allergy. If that's the case I can stop taking pills & stick with the new food. I'm doing great, but the Dr. said being on a steroid for too long isn't good for me. 
I weigh 54 pounds. The doc said that's ok, but doesn't want me to gain any more.
Dutchess tried to hide under the chair most of the time. She doesn't like going to the Dr. either.
Oh yeah, I got my nails clipped too.
Glad I don't have to go back for a while!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok...Mom called me a thief recently & I don't think I like it. Just because I stole a ham off of the counter out of the crock pot & ate it, plus last week stole a whole cherry cheesecake off of the counter at our BBQ & no one else got dessert (not my fault they didn't get to it 1st) does not make me a thief? ......does it?!
I figure since my legs are long enough to put up there I can help myself.
She thinks she's slick by pushing the food back but I still got 2 packages of hot dog buns 2 different days too! Yummy!! The only thing that gave me away was the empty wrapper on the living room floor.

Anyway. No Dr.s appts in awhile 'cause I'm doing great!! I've gained weight & grown most of my fur back.

Life is Grand when I have a fat full belly!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here is a poem Malcolm's foster mom Sandi  sent me.  She says "every person who has ever "fostered" an animal in need will recognize themselves in it".  
It's very touching.




A POEM TO MY FOSTER DOG
		By Diane Morgan


I am the bridge
Between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.


I am made of mush,
Because my heart melted when I saw you.
Matted and sore, limping, depressed,
Lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.


For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand.
I will love you with my whole heart.
I will make you whole.


I am made of steel.
Because when the time comes,
When you are well and sleek,
When your eyes shine,
And your tail wags with joy,
Then comes the hard part.


I will let you go . . . not without a tear,
But without a regret.
For you are safe forever –
A new dog needs me now.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well...mom finally figured out that I do like toys. I was just too sick to be interested when she brought me home. I LOVE to play fetch! & they bought me a Kong ball since I chew right through a tennis ball in less than 5 minutes. We play fetch every day now & I can expend some of that pent up energy I have. Plus I can lay around & just chew on it. Woo Hoo! ...I mean Bow Wow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Malcolm had his bath & Dr. appt. yesterday. He's doing great! His fur is much thicker on his back now too.
The only resemblance he is to the dog I adopted is he still loves attention & affection. Other than that he is rambunctious & like a jack rabbit when he's excited. Plus he has escaped 3 times. Twice in one day. He knows his name but when he got loose, he just ran like the wind. Luckily we caught him a 1/4 mile away. We are scared he will get hit. We are doing everything possible to try to make sure it doesn't happen again. He's a good boy & we love him. Just scared for him because he doesn't understand...he's not suppose to do that!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Malcolm is doing great! He came fully out of his shell & feels so much  better. He is soooo energetic I can't keep up with him! Lol He literally  has tons of energy!
The Dr. says he's doing great too. Never did figure out what was wrong, but she said she is glad she put him on Pred & that he's not allergic to it. He will continue his meds (pred, keflin) until they run out in about 2 weeks & she wants to see him back then to see how he's doing. He's still getting a bath once a week.
He's such a sweet boy!

Go Malcolm!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Malcolm had a Dr. appt. today. All went well. The skin inflamation & fever are gone that he had last week when I brought him home. & his fur is still growing back. The Dr. says he's not allergic to Pred. which is good because it's helping a lot. We will cut the pred back to once a day next week when he gets another bath. He's still on 2 meds. He had a bath today and loved it.
He's doing so well here.  Wagging his tail & jumping around. He gets excited to go outside & go for walks. He looks much healthier now than when I brought him home. Yeah Malcolm!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Diary,
I like my new home! I've been here 1 week & 1 day.  When my sister Dutchess gets excited & barks I watch her to see what she does & then I follow her. It usually means treat time or we are being fed. ...she seems to know how to tell time. (smart girl)  So I just follow her lead to see what's going on & it works out well.

I like it when mom or dad comes outside with me. When I want them to, I just stand on the deck and stare at the sliding door til they get the hint. Then I get excited when they come outside.

I go to the Dr. in 2 days for a re-check & another bath. Woo Hoo! I love those baths!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Diary,
This place is pretty cool. I'm much more alert today, and was yesterday too. I'm getting used to my new home & all of these treats I get. & two beds!
Mom says I've opened up a lot in the short time I've been here.  My tail wags & I'm getting happier. 
We went to the Dr. & she's not sure what's up with my skin, but we are trying some meds & baths & they seem to be helping. I'm not scratching as much & I smell a little better. I loved my bath at the vet! & I get to have another soak next week too.
Yup! I think I'm gonna like it here!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Diary,

Day 1-

Well, let's see. My new Mom brought me home from the humane  society yesterday. I laid in the front seat all the way home. She had to get me out 'cause I wasn't so sure of things.
I slept most of the day & night. & I LOVE  my new back yard. I just love going outside!!
& I found out that I just love treats too! I think I'm gonna like it here.
My new Mom says she hopes I become happier & is pretty sure I will. So, that's good.
____________________________________________________________

Day 2- 

Well, it's only 2:30 pm. But I've pretty much slept & went outside & ate so far. Nurse Amy (vet tech-human aunt)  says I will probably sleep a lot for the 1st few days. Anyway...I've gotta go & get some more Zzzzzzzz's.

I think I'm going to like it here a lot!!!!!]]></content:encoded>
