		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Birthdays are days meant for celebration and fun but my heart has been heavy throughout. It’s Lassie’s  5th Birthday today  and she isn’t here to celebrate it.

It was 12 midnight and dada sang Happy Birthday I couldn’t bring myself to do so. I know his heart was a lot heavy too. The night went by I was tossing and turning, the much needed sleep never came.
Dada as usual is the first to wake up. He tries to wake me up but realizes I am already awake. 

I get out of bed and am relieved to see Leila and Ingmar. I am so glad they are around. I light a candle for Lassie and place it next to her baby picture. I try hard not to put a damper on things so I decide to make some frosty paws (pumpkin/yoghurt)  and ( carrots, peanut butter/ yoghurt).I boiled some chicken  and chicken livers for some extra treats for them .

I guess I will have to try real hard not to be melancholy. As usual, Ingy and Leila keep me very busy and the morning passes by very quickly. Come afternoon dada is home for lunch and leaves again quicker than usual saying he has lots to do today.

I go back to the computer and am at Lassie’s Page again. I had made it a couple of nights ago. It  wasn’t really easy. I continue to do basically nothing. Dada returns home and surprises us with a Huge “Bone cake” and an orchid flower. It’s Lassie’s Birthday he says, we have to celebrate her time with us and not dwell on the fact that she is not with us anymore.

He heads back to work and I am there standing over this cake and the beautiful white orchid. I realize that the best way to remember Lassie today is to remember her and be Happy so I bring out the party hats & tiara’s and celebrate with my two naughty fur kids Leila and Ingy.

I get out the frosty paws which are set by now and place them next to the cake. Of course they spare no time to dig in. I thank the Lord again that they are around. We have some fun together with the picture taking and then they lick the cake first Leila and then Ingy.
I had saved a mini yellow dog figurine made of sugar paste from Lassie’s Birthday cake from last year and had promised Lassie then that I would put it on her cake the next year.

I kept my promise I got the mini yellow dog figurine from the fridge and kept it alongside the cake and pictured Lassie licking it last year. I am sure she is watching over us from the Rainbow Bridge and of course licking her lips.

Happy Birthday my sweet Angel Lassie we miss you and you will always be in our hearts.

I want to thank all our  friends old and new for all your best wishes for Lassie and remembering her on   her Birthday. It really means a lot …I am so glad that Lassie has such great friends. I am grateful for Leila and Ingy as without them every day  would be such a challenge.

With love,
Madeline(Lassie’s Mom)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ They say memories are golden
Well Maybe that is true,
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you
A million times I cried,
If love alone could've saved you
You never would have died.

In death i love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill.

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today,
A hallowed place within in my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

(3rd month at the Rainbow bridge)


Our loss is an empty place in our hearts and in our home.My heart is in pieces because of you, It's not the same since you've been gone.

I sit here crying. I try to think of all the great times we had together, but I still cry for you. We have your ashes in the hall next to my computer table where I can see a glimpse of you .

We went  for a walk  with your sister Leila the other day  to your favorite place ( palace sidewalk). We haven't been there since you passed and it was so hard for us to go there but  as we walked along I could feel your presence.

We  miss you everyday! We love you! 

always and forever
Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Dearest Darling Angel Lassie

Its two months today that you traveled to the Rainbow Bridge. I can’t imagine these two months have passed by so quickly and yet at the same time it feels like eternity. 

Not a day goes by without you in our thoughts. We laugh and we cry as we re-live the times we had with you in our mists.

I know you are happy there at the bridge with all your friends, having a great time. But I know that you miss us too, just as we dearly miss you. 

Don’t worry my sweet angel we will be together again someday.  Until then know this that we will always love you very very much.

Love Always,

Mom & Dada]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We answered an Ad in our local newspaper on March 25'09 (Wednesday).GOOD HOME wanted for a Black Labrador mix ,1 year old He is an energetic ,friendly dog and is good with children looking for a new home as his parents couldn’t keep him for some reason. 

We called in ahead and arrived at the villa at about 7:30pm. We were waiting outside the gate and Dada was trying to call the lady of the house from his cell phone but there was no answer. After a few seconds there was very loud barking and emerged this gorgeous handsome boy, tail wagging, excited and sniffing the air trying to find out who was attempting to enter his domain. The barking continued and shortly after his mama came to the gate and invited us in.

We introduced ourselves although Dada knows the lady through some work commitments. Then she introduced us to the ‘energy pack’ that was running around us in circles. His name is Harry. He is a fantastic pub. After sometime he came closer us sniffing away, checking us out and gradually sitting down next to us as we talked. We promised his mama we will call to check when we can come in again to see him and also her human son as he had to approve of us taking Harry.

When we were leaving Dada- a smart alec as he is, left the gate open and out ran Harry. But a great guy that he is came back shortly after his mama called him but not before going into the neighbor’s yard trying to see what mischief he could do.

We came home very excited and talking about Harry all the time. But in the course of our discussion we realized that we were all the while comparing Harry to Lassie. Then the question came are we ready for Harry or are we just trying to fill in the gap that Lassie’s passing has caused. Will it fair to Harry that we are trying to find Lassie rather than taking him for what he is. I could not sleep that night and I am fairy sure nor could Dada.

We thought we will give another day to be sure before we can call Harry’s mama. But we couldn’t make up our mind about Harry. Finally Dada called her in the evening and conveyed his regrets that we couldn’t take on Harry. I am sure she was very sad to hear this. We are so sad about this and feel so terrible. I hope that Harry finds a good home as he is truly a great guy.

Lassie’s passing has been very difficult. I hope we can reconcile our minds and look towards the future. I think we are not ready yet. Harry is so lovable. I don’t know why we couldn’t scoop him up and take him home. It’s so hard to understand.



NEW UPDATE: Monday, April 6, 2009 3:16 PM

I just wanted to let you know that a family friend has taken harry and he has settled down very well. 

Best wishes
Harry's mom

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Remembering our Beautiful Angel Lassie

The sound of your four paws padding softly down the hall in the still of the night…. The look of excitement as the leash comes out for a walk.... dances with pure glee as you finally see Dada walk through the door…. The inherent trust in your eyes as bright and deep as the starry night shining straight into your soul, knowing you count on me for your well being…even unto death. 

It is moments like these that never leave our minds. It is moments like these, along with many more special memories of love and trust that have moved us to feel more love and more compassion than we thought possible. With each special life of pure unconditional love, it is moments like these that live on. 

Interesting how we sometimes still think you needed us, when all along it was us who really needed you. Vulnerability sets the stage for magic. And magic it was; was it not? Magic in how you came… to our lives in your own special way, with your own special personality adapted to whatever living situation we were in at the time, coming to share the special blessing of big wide open hearts just for us.


We miss you so much.


============================================


I Remember


I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had been to the BSPCA today and it was a mixed bag of an affair. We have got to know a new pup called Cleo a German shepherd mix female dog. Cleo is a scared, nervous always in a corner kind of girl. Lassie’s Dada and I were volunteering today to walk the dogs and play with them in the play yard.

Cleo had to be carried out to the play yard. She was running around and playing in the other side so we try to get closer to where she was when Cleo saw us she got very scared and went to a corner and didn’t budge. We tried to coax her to play but she won’t. We are so sad for her. Her pen mate Jason (Husky mix) however a super charged boy was running, playing, jumping and loves to be petted. He is truly an adorable pup.

As usual when it was time to put them back Cleo had to be carried back to their pen this time by Dada. When we put her back another girl in the pen just pounce on her held her by the ear and pulled her into the pen and attacked her.OMD! One of the volunteers rushed in and separated them.

Now we are very concerned for Cleo. We need to do something for her but does not have a clue to go about it. Does anyone have any ideas; knows a good website or experience to handle scared pups.

The director of the BSPCA told us that Cleo was about a year old was most probably abused in her life. She usually sits in the far end corner of their pen at the sanctuary (BSPCA) and gives out a scared vibe. When she first arrived at the sanctuary she didn’t even want to eat and play but apparently now she is getting better.

My heart goes out to all these pups at the shelter and hopefully we can do our part by helping at the shelter fostering, sponsoring a pet or maybe adopting one (I wish I could take them all). 

On the other hand we spend time with the gorgeous Tillie happy as ever. Now it is getting confusing as more time we spend there at the BSPCA more difficult it is to make up our minds about who is the right one for us and probably needed us the most or we needed the most.

We miss our Beautiful Angel Lassie so much and sometimes when I’m playing or petting one of the pups I just feel Lassie’s presence and her beautiful face and I stop and smile with a teary eye. I wish our baby was there with us.

Of course to BSPCA <b> ( Bahrain Society for the Protection of Animals) </b>  to see the pups there.We had lots of  dog food cans which we bought for Lassie so we took these along with us for the shelter.

This was like a drop in the ocean as there are about 120+ dogs there but anywoof something is better than nothing.

Mom and Dada are very happy to see my painting and we really thank <b> Terry Stanley </b> for doing this even if we are staying in Bahrain.What an early birthday present for mom (Friday the 13th)!

Lassie kicks off Week 2 of Dog Days of Painting with her sweet smile and big brown eyes. The background of this study is a metallic gold that really complements her coloring nicely.
I'd like to thank all of you who are following this blog and sending in paintings of your furry kids! I've even heard from people in Australia, Great Britain and Bahrain! The internet has sure made the world a smaller, friendlier place.  Devotion to our dogs transcends religion, race, and politics. Maybe our world leaders need to be forced to interact at the dog park once a week!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dada’s day off and usually sleep in late. Lassie has to wait for us to wake up. She was always a good girl and wait patiently for us. However, sometimes she can’t take it anymore and of course comes in and lick’s dada’s face … those were the days. 

Anyways, today was different but for a moment I felt she would come charging through the bedroom door and jump on the bed- but that didn’t happen.My days are usually spent being at the computer ( Dogster) when I am done with chores etc. Nothing appeals to me these days. I have so many things to finish; I have to thank so many friends for their love and support. But I just can’t bring myself to doing anything …I just can’t focus.

We decided we must clean out the fridge and get some fresh groceries. When we are cleaning out the fridge we realized that most of the things in the fridge were for Lassie…more tears and sobbing.

We were at the mall and then went to the hypermarket .we passed the pet section and the heavy feeling returned. We finished with the purchases and were standing in line to checkout. I suddenly realized that the lady in front of us had bought some dog food.Seeing the pedigree cans being rung in didn’t help a bit. Memories started flooding back again and I couldn’t hold it back anymore. Dada tried his best to distract my thoughts so that I could compose myself.

<i>Lisa Smith </i> founder of  <i><a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://canineliverdiseasefoundation.org/?p=196">Canine Liver Disease Foundation </a> (Helping to Heal) </i> has requested that she would like to put up  <i> Lassie’s story (Diary entry February 22)</i> and some photos of Lassie in her blog posted on February 26, 2009(Thursday).

We also received some humbling news from our dear pals <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/206009">Rocky</a> and<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/206327">Sarge</a>. They informed us that they have made a donation in Lassie’s name to the <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href=http://www.rollingdogranch.com/> The Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary</a> at Montana. The Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Montana rescues and shelters disabled doggies and also other animals for life. That was so touching; their kind gesture will never be forgotten.

To help those in need is one of the noblest of deeds that one can do. I truly appreciate you honoring Lassie by helping others in her name. You really have a big heart. May god bless you always. Thank you for being such a great friend.

Our friends are advising us to find a new place to live in. We want to move out but at the same time we don’t want to. Most of Lassie’s memories are in this home. She lived most of her life here and it will be hard to leave. We actually did go out to look at another apartment which was actually quite nice. But we haven’t really made up our minds yet. 

Life goes on no matter how hard the journey, we need to take it in our stride ,one day at a time .In the end there is always joy and happiness .]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/forums/group/thread/599759">LASSIE'S MEMORIAL - Our Angel</a> at at <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/group/Doggie_connection-10243">&#10084; DOGGIE CONNECTION &#10084;</a>

I woke up at 3:30 am Bahrain  time ( Feb 26)  (GMT +3). It was not like I had slept much. I hadn’t been sleeping much for some time now and after Lassie’s passing sleep was getting increasingly difficult to come by. The most difficult times of the days are when we wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night. You see Lassie was always there to greet us when we woke up. Dada almost always wakes up first and gives Lassie massage (belly rub) and gives her the medicines, then showers and prepares the coffee.

In the meantime Lassie waits outside the room waiting for me to wake up. When I finally wake up and am out of the bedroom, it’s like her world has come alive, her eyes light up and she follows me to check the balcony (weather), I put on the TV, puter and then her most awaited part of our routine the "KITCHEN" to prepare her breakfast "FOOD" and she follows me everywhere but, now it’s just the memories.

Today was different though 3:30 am Bahrain( Feb 26)   is 4:30 pm (PST) Feb. 25 Dogster Time. My Dear friends and Admins <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/368999">Maggie</a> and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/801108">Cody</a> had organized a memorial at Doggie Connection in Honor of Lassie. I lit the candle where Lassie  is resting next to my computer table, I can smell the candle and the flower we bought  yesterday.  I sat in front of the computer screen watching silently and reading with teary eyes all the tributes paid to Lassie. 

It was truly overwhelming, the love that was shared, the support that was rendered by all the pups. I am forever grateful to all for everything they said and did to support us in our hour of grief and pain. Although, I was there, I just couldn’t say a word .The heartaches were back again.
I wrote down a note to thank all of you and posted it at the end of the memorial service. At one point <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/dogs/463366 ">Alabaster</a> posted this: <i> Do you think Madz and Dada are here with us? </i> <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/dogs/368999">Maggie’s </a> response :  <i> Al, I would like to think Madz & Dada are here with us...</i>  I can hear myself answered yes!  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/dogs/463366 ">Al</a> …I’m here and lassie  too in spirit, oh How I wish I could touch /hold them . Oh, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/dogs/368999">Maggie</a> you are right sweetie. 

I didn’t wake up dada as he had to be at work in the morning and I didn’t want him not to be focused during the day. I can only imagine what he is going through. He gives me a lot of support and love, tries his best not to appear weak and down. But I know his heart, sometimes I see him emerging out of the bedroom, red eyed. I know he is grieving and there are times when he can’t take it and just breaks down.

Dada got ready for work and before he could leave, he went to the store and brought in the <i> GULF DAILY NEWS </i> - GDN   <i> (our local English newspaper).</i>  *We had put in an obituary for Lassie. It was one small way for us to give her tribute and acknowledgment for being such an invaluable part of our lives.The other reason for the newspaper obituary was because it was a newspaper in Kuwait that had brought Lassie into our lives. Lassie was in an  newspaper Ad which read-puppies need a loving home. When we reached the address in the ad, there were only two puppies remaining, one was<i> Lassie </i> and the other one  was <i> Angel </i> (who was taken home by my brother-in-law)*

I said bye to Dada as he went to work and it was me again alone at home. The loneliness however is merely related to the physical state I guess …Lassie is always present on my mind and heart. I talk to her as if she were there as I always used to do. Everything reminds me of her. Every activity was associated with her sometimes I asked myself is this normal? Am I obsessed with Lassie. Then there is the muffled sobbing or the outright loud crying.

The last few weeks leading up to Sunday February 22, 2009 were not very easy for us here. There were rays of hope intervened with waves of despair.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was another day but not so different from the day earlier. The heartaches were not getting any better, nor the tears drying up. But life goes on, as it should. One can try to be busy and occupied, but the mind always wonders back to the sweet little companion that has gone away never to return.  

Dada got <i> Lassie’s cremains</i>  back home at about 4:00pm (GMT+3).The Clinic had put her in a small wooden box .She was home now, not in a way I/we wanted her to be. It was hard to imagine she was in that small little box <i> "To dust Thou shall return".</i> 

We headed off to church with her cremains. How ironical, it is <i>Ash Wednesday</i> the other part of the irony was that this was the only time we had actually taken Lassie to Church... when she got her <i>Angel wings</i>.

The thing is that when we returned back from the crematorium last <i> (February 23) </i> the day after her journey to the<i>  Rainbow Bridge.</i>  Dada and I decided to go to church and asked the priest to say mass for Lassie. 

To our surprise the priest said that they don’t say mass for animals. We were dismayed and surprised. Man’s best friend was not recognized by the church. But we know in our hearts that no matter what the church thinks or says, Jesus loves Lassie and all animals big and small. 

We know Lassie is with him and the reason for this is that it was he who  brought Lassie into our lives in the first place to love us and give us much joy and happiness.

Today Lassie was in the church with us and it was really a special moment. We prayed for her, for us, and for all of you, our friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dada started work today and I was left alone at home. The moment he stepped out of the house I felt as if my heart is gonna get crushed under some heavy stone someone had placed on my chest. I had no idea how I would spend the next hour on my own let alone the entire day until Dada got back home. 

I sat in front of  the puter and luckily my good friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/599726">Duke’s</a> mom Sandi was online so we got chatting after some time  I got an alert from my yahoo mail and  to my pleasant surprise I saw that my Lassie is "Dog of the Day" at Dogster. 

My emotions were all mixed up. I was happy that Lassie was finally  "Dog of the Day", but sad she was not with me to celebrate.* I screamed, cried, laughed and danced while I'm still online with Sandi.
 
* [I can imagine if she were here now we will be jumping and dancing with joy and of course she will get loads of hugs and treats] *Anyways I called Dada and he came back home just for a minute to celebrate with me. We jumped, kissed and hugged and fondly remembered our sweet Lassie.

The chat with Sandi was over. Yesterday, I spent the whole time cleaning and be occupied then I looked around the house, I realized it was mess.  Lassie’s toys, her medicines were resting on top of her "house" dog house. Her bed was on the floor and the sofa still had the pillow and comforter propped up from the night before. There was a repeat of David Letterman show running on the TV.I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about it was as if I was a robot, couldn’t really make sense of anything.

I really didn’t know where to start, should I begin by keeping things in order? Should I do the dishes from last night etc…? I really didn’t know where to begin. Suddenly, I thought that I should prepare Lassie’s food. Then it was like a jolt out of nowhere. I don’t have to prepare her food anymore. The tears started to flow and there was no stopping and my heart started aching again.

I then made myself some coffee and went back to the puter trying to keep myself busy and concentrate on happier time with Lassie. By now the word has gotten around of Lassie’s journey to the Rainbow Bridge. The best wishes and support that was coming in was so overwhelming. Poems, emails, pictures, special gift, pmails just made me smile, sobs, giggles and cried and this was keeping my sanity alive.

Dada made a point to call me at regular intervals to check on me and see how I was doing. He has been my rock in all this. At some point of time in the afternoon he called me to inform me that Lassie’s cremains had arrived back at the vet’s clinic but he won’t be able to get them back home today. I was very sad, not entirely because Dada won’t be getting her cremains home today but because Dada was getting Lassie’s "cremains".

I was disappointed but I know that he was having a lot on his plate at work and I didn’t want to push him. Instead I started looking for an urn which we could order on the net.


Thank you 
Lassie's mom (Madeline)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lassie Forever in our Hearts
September 10, 2004 - February 22, 2009
4 years 5 months and 12 days


My Dear Friends,

It’s a beautiful day in heaven at the rainbow bridge and all the angels are feeling very happy. They have a new companion to play with and of course adore. Lassie crossed over to the rainbow bridge at 12:20pm Dogster time (PST) on February 22, 2009. 
I am happy that she is with the angels and Jesus is watching over her as always. I am happy to be Lassie’s mommy as she made me proud even in her very last moment.

We had taken Lassie to the vet in morning yesterday as she was increasingly getting weak and was having trouble walking. She was not eating nor drinking. When we reach the clinic the normal occurrence is that she can’t wait for the car door to be opened. But this day was different. She could barely move. We had to call the nurse to help us carry her into the clinic. The vet advised us to let her go but I guess that was not a very easy decision for us to make. 

The vet however agreed to give us a couple of days for observing Lassie and said after that Lassie will be needed to be put to sleep   if she doesn’t get better. She administered antibiotics and fluids and said that it would be a good idea for Lassie to be at home. As we were getting out of the vet clinic Lassie saw the black cat that usually hangs around the clinic. She immediately tried to pull on the leash and chase the cat. This was really great in a way because she seemed to be full of energy and vigor.

Back at home Lassie was still not consuming any food or drink and finding it oh so very difficult to walk. Lassie is a fighter and she tried very hard to move around the house, resting at all her favorite spots. But evidently it was taking a great toll on her. But not once did she whimper or cry. She was very uncomfortable, but she didn’t show it. We were positive that she will fight on. At one point she tried to pull on her Dada’s socks but she can't reached it no more. This made me really happy as she was trying to be mischievous and heartbroken.  

But come evening nothing really changed much. Lassie’s dada and I decided to take her to the vet in the morning so that she could receive some fluids. Dada tried to administer some meds to Lassie but without any success. Even water was not appealing to Lassie. We decided to pray for her. So we sat beside her on her bed. She hugged me and rested oh so sweetly on my chest. I wish that moment will last forever. I lay her down on her bed and we began to pray asking Jesus for a miracle and also to help Lassie.

In the middle of our prayer Lassie gave out a loud sigh and it was the beginning of the end. She tried to grasp for air, but her long fight had taken its toll on her. Dada immediately called the vet to let her know what was happening, I on the other hand couldn’t control my emotions any more. The tears rolled down and the anxiety increased. In a few moments she was so very quiet and had breathed her very last breath. It was all over.  And just like that Lassie was gone from this world. We couldn’t believe it. We refused to believe it. The reality of the whole thing was so intense that it just knocked us off our feet.

A few moments passed and we still hoped for a tail wag or her eyes to open. But that was not to happen. Dada called the vet again to make arrangements for her final journey. We then cleaned her up.
We took Lassie to the vet and left her there so that she could be taken to the crematorium in the morning. She was so peaceful laying there. The last good bye was truly overwhelming. 

We kissed her and said our goodbyes.  She looked so beautiful; it was as if she was asleep blissfully. This morning we went to the crematorium. The drive seemed very long and never ending. We left her there. It is still so unbelievable. She was so young and had so many more years in her. But Jesus had other plans. 
 
Our baby is gone, our special baby is gone, but she will be forever in our hearts, in our minds and will be part of our soul. In the short time Lassie was with us, she gave us lots of joy, love and happiness. Every part of home, every site outdoors reminds us of her. The emptiness is unbearable but I know with time we will be able to cope with it.

Lassie is blessed and I know that Jesus wanted her with him. I know she is happy with him and some day we will be united again. Lassie was a very bright girl. She knew that it would be hard for us to take the decision to put her down if the time comes, so she gave us the easy way out.  She answered the call of Jesus herself and now she is watching over us at the rainbow bridge.

We thank you all for all your love, support, goodwill, prayers, guidance, special gifts, paw-mails, emails, rosettes, angel wings, stars, cards, candles and Lassie’s strolls . Only time and love will help us bear this loss. Lassie will forever be missed and forever in our hearts. 

Rest in peace my pretty  little Angel.
 
Love always,
Madeline( Lassie’s mom)


P.S: Our dear friend Maggie had mailed Lassie’s liver supplement (SAMe) on January 31, 2009. Sadly it arrived to Bahrain only yesterday (Feb 22) and we received it today. Along with the SAMe there was also a special Valentine’s card for us. I really wish Lassie could have been here to sniff the package as she usually does.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ :(( Lassie's health is getting worse and we are devastated.She is not eating,drinking,excessive salivating ( drooling), seizure/head tremors,lethargic,vomiting blood,diarrhea (blood),ascites-abdominal fluid build up is getting bigger,edema in the hind leg,she is yellow again(jaundice).

I try to give her yogurt and water using syringe.she can't stand and walk .doctor had given her some medicine (injections) to feel a little better and IV fluids.Doctor says she will not let her stay in the clinic as she needs to be with us.

I am in tears just trying to put things in words and I can't even find the right words.The doctor had given us 2-3 days to decide. If she feels better and eat then there is a good chance that she can fight the battle.

We love our Dear Lassie.We don't want her to suffer but still I want to hope for some MIRACLE.Dear Lord bless our Lassie and give her one more chance.

Please Pray for a MIRACLE for LASSIE.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had fixed up an appointment with the vet on Saturday Feb 14 as Lassie’s stomach seemed bulgy. We saw the vet at 3.30 in the afternoon. After her physical examination the vet concluded that it could be due to fluid buildup in her abdomen. She wanted to be sure so she asked us to come back on Monday Feb 16 to do an ultrasound.
Lassie has been very moody with her eating habits and has to be really fussed over to take her meals. We bought her some Milupa baby biscuits and now she wants to eat them all the time. I am not sure if this is a good thing. 
Anyways this morning we were back at the vet for the ultrasound. The vet definitely concluded now the presence of fluid (ascites). She even took two samples of the fluid to conduct further tests. The tests that would be conducted are: Cytology, Histopathology & Fluid culture. They will inform us of the findings as and when the results are back. The vet further more added that they might want to do an exploratory  surgery or a needle guided biopsy, but want to keep away from that as much as possible considering  Lassie’s present condition.
Furthermore the vet prescribed Furosemide 40mg to be taken twice days for 10 days. This is a diuretic which is supposed to help Lassie get rid of the fluids. So Lassie is presently on Furosemide, Amoxiclav, SAMe, Thyroxine, Milk Thistle and Liv.52(herbal liver supplement) on a daily basis.
Last week we had to give Lassie IV fluids (300ml dosage administered twice by injecting it at the back of her neck). I am wondering if this had anything to do with her fluid buildup.
Are there any suggestions or recommendations for Lassie, will appreciate these immensely.

Power of the Paw!
Love,
Lassie U\'o'/U]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ :(( Went to the vet and have my tummy checked and dogter says that there is a Ascites -fluid build up in my tummy but they want to make another  ultrasound for my tummy to make sure  :? and if I needed a needle guided biopsy or an exploratory surgery :-O as the dogter says that I'm too weak to have surgery.

They mention about diuretics ...whatever that means  :? Dogter  adviced us to observe for one more day to have my ultrasound.They are concerned about my situation as I'm having one infection to another.  :((  I haven't gone for a walk for along time as dogter advice but mom and dada asked my dogter maybe just down our building (compound) so at least I don't feel sad and maybe it will help me.

yesterday I ate but today I didn't feel like eating sometimes mom think that they will just let me eat the food that I will surely love but not good for my health but will make me happy. :c9 (Steak,Lamb chops,fried Chicken,bacon,pizza etc) ::o

I know I know its not good ok sometimes its good to dream about FOOD :c9 

We hope yáll had a great Valentine's day. Well, mom and dada stayed at home with me they wanted to celebrate as last Feb 8 is there 5 yrs. wedding anniversary but didn't have the chance as mom was admitted in the hospital that day the champagne still in the fridge but then I wasn't feeling good and seizures/head tremor and they didn't feel the need to celebrate for valentines day.


:) They take me out (down our compound for 5-10 mins) oh girl ,I was so happy trying to search for all the cats but I guess they know I'm coming but NO cat :n: 

Monday,tomorrow is my appointment for ultrasound and we are scared and worried .we are keeping our paws crossed everything will be fine.we want to thank each and every pup who are praying for me and all the kind words , cards,email,pmail and special gift and rosettes it means a lot to us and all the pups who lit a candle for me we thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

we love you and wishing yáll good health .May God bless us all! |:|

Happy Valentine's Day!
Love,
Lassie]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We got her HSV  for blood culture and she got some infection so they have given anti biotic (Amoxyclav 250 = 750 tabs a day for 10 days).yesterday was the last day.

last Jan. 27 we did a urinary test and still awaiting for the result.She still have v (blood) discharge but it's lighter now. Been to the Vet today for another blood test.We are hoping that the result will be better but again her ALT from 301 last (Jan 8) and now it's gone up ALT 527 (Feb 1)even her BILE ACID from 54 (Jan 8) and now it's gone up BILE ACID 125(Feb 1).

she even lost 1 Lb again and she has been eating at least 6 times a day (small portion).We ask her vet to do a bile acid test but we will have to wait for her next appointment.

Doctor advise us to continue with her SAMe , Milk Thistle ,Duphalac,Protexin soluble.No anti biotic for the meantime.they don't recommend the exploratory surgery and biopsy at this time. 

All in all she looks good her lungs,throat(eyes,face,gums,belly) pinkish except for her anal/v still have faint yellow color and the discharge.


We are really confused and worried about Lassie's health today her urine is back to orange in color.we are expecting her to be fine as she looks good now better than the last time when she was jaundice and she lost about 20-25 lbs from Oct-Feb.

Big woofs,
Lassie/Mom

Before the ref raises his boney little arms to signal the 6 points we gotta spill the beans (pffht..excuse me!) about ourselves and then pass the ball to 5 of our furiends who will each do the same. Don't forget to leave us a bone to let us know you got our hand signals and you're in the "game.

Is every furs ready! I'm going out for a long pass.........

1. I love following my mom around the house.
2. I am a daddy's girl
3. I love to sit on Dada's Lap
4. I love to play with Dada
5. I love to go for rides even if it means going to my vet's clinic but when I realized that we are actually at my vet's clinic...I don't want to go inside.

Now I am ready to make a pass to 5 of my pals

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Been to the vet today to check Lassie's ( V ) discharge.Last night I was checking on the  about this and most of the symptoms were pointing towards Stump Pyometra.

The vet examined Lassie's ( V-thingy) and even inserted a probe in order to see the inside.She also took a ( V ) swab sample  for Blood Culture the results of which will be available only next week.

The vet however kept insisting that it looks more of a Urinary Tract Infection or some infection rather than the Stump Pyometra. 

Stump Pyometra would indicate a faulty spaying which would mean the Clinic mess up.I just hope too that it isn't a faulty spaying although I don't prefer it to be an infection either, but in this case it is the lesser evil.

The vet has given Lassie anti biotic ( Amoxyclav 250mg ) to be taken for 10 days.The positive things about the visit to the vet was that Lassie now has gain 1 lb. although it's not  much but it's a start.We got her a new toy "Mr Frogy" and she loves it!.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ :( After a month on SAMe Lassie's blood work has improved except for her Bile Acid,these have gone up :-k during the past 2 weeks Lassie's has been very sick (on and off ).About 3-4 days ago she had some reddish brown  discharge from her V  :-# (not sure if I can mention this) 

I look up the net about discharge after spaying...:-O and it makes me worry more as reading the net is useful and scary too:? the vet told us that if it happens again then we need to bring her in to run some tests, but thank God! there wasnt any more discharge.:) Also a couple of days ago she has very loose bloody and mucousy  stools. the blood was about a Tablespoon  and this happened twice in a day :-O:((

Again we  consult her vet and she has given Lassie some antibiotics and said it might be because of taking lots of meds and hence there could be some inflamation in her intestines. So now we are awaiting for Lassie to poop.:r and are really praying that there will be no blood and everything is back to normal.


( Dogter gave Lassie Antibiotic -Metrogyl / Drontal Allwormer Tablets /Protexin soluble)

<b> Observe for one day if she still have a bloody stool - Bloodwork,xray,stool sample will be required.</b>

* I got a pmail from <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/584176">Oliver-My Beloved</a> mom's <i> *(Mommy saw the diary of a sweet little dog named<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/50014"> Kiki</a>--her Mom is very nice; and Kiki is also having liver problems. I just thought , if you have not met Kiki, you might like to see her page and diary. Sometimes it helps to talk to people who are going through a similar situation and maybe you will have tips for each other.)</i> 

I've read KiKi's diary and really glad and it's very informative I try a  new diet for Lassie and she likes it =;  for now we are hoping and praying that we will get through this and she will be better soon.|:| We are so grateful for all our friends for all the love and support.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To all of you who continue to lit a candle  for Lassie and sending Power of the Paw ,pmail,kind words and gifts|:| 

Love,
Lassie and mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The blood test result was a mixed bag. My thyroid test was normal but my liver enzyme test had it's ups and downs. My Bile Acid activity has aggravated for no apparent reason and that had caused my stomach to go in for a royal toss  and hence the vomiting.

I have ear infection and the vet have given me medicine (Surolan drop) and I've lost weight about 5 lbs.I am supposed to go back to the basic boiled chicken and rice diet. The vet said that canned dog food might be a bit too rich for the time being.

The visit to the vet had its perks. For one I got to ride in Dada's car after a long time, mom bought me a <b> squeaky turtle </b> (now my vet is selling some toys too and the last piece) soo excited and the best part was I got to meet a very interesting , handsome and robust chocolate colored Lab. I was too shy to ask his name, but just kept drooling at him and he too refused to jump up in the  car with his owner as he too was looking at me.Mom says his name is <b> Chippy </b> .  I am feeling so much better now already woof! bol!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well,today I feel fine in the morning now its around 3:00 pm I started vomiting and trembling . I vomited 7 times in a span of one  hour and this went on until 10 pm. In that  time Dada had given me a couple carafate  tablets just to ease my stomach.

The sad part about this that I feel very weak and I can't get to do my most favorite thing in the whole wide world i.e. EATING!Dada said that I can't eat and mom complied  hmm, I didn't get to have any say in this matter.

We are supposed to go to my vets next week but Mom  has now fixed an appointment with the vet for tomorrow and it was going to be at 3:00 pm. Oh my dog! That means more starving as you see I'm not supposed to be eating for a few hours before a blood test.

Hopefully my SAMe medication is helping me and result will be better for all my Blood work / Ultra sound.Power of the Paw!

Bark at you all later!

4. I love to eat cheese and yogurt and banana and ok ! I Love to eat!

5. I love to sleep in the middle of the bed (mom and dada)

6. After I do my business in the toilet mom or dada will wipe my paws and butt.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Christmas is over and I have some great presents. I am truly touched by the Holiday wishes, pmails,email,cards,picture and Prezzies that brighten up my page and heart  for me this Christmas.I am just beyond words and really don't know how to thank you all well enough.
I am grateful for all your love and support,but most importantly it's your friendship that's the important gift of all.

This Christmas was very Special for us as we celebrated it with not only the ones near us, but also with all our special Dogster pals like yourself who although are thousands of miles away, but are with us in our thoughts and prayers.

It has given me time to reflect and remember just how lucky I really am. I am so grateful for the loving home, food and toys that I am provided with no matter what the circumstances are. Mom and Dada always makes sure we never go without anything ... especially love!

Christmas surprise an email notification:

Thanks  bunches <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/501150">River</a> for   thinking of me this Christmas!


================================================

 <b>   Just a Dog  </b>

   <i> From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.”

    Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.” Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted.

    Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

    If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you will probably understand phases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

    Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

    “Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

    I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.”

    So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog.” just smile, because they “just don’t understand.” </i>

* Thank you again for this poem… it is a gift.* Love to all  and bless everyone... everywhere in the world! God Bless us all!]]></content:encoded>

===================================================


<I> 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 

T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house 
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse 
The stockings where hung by the chimney with care 
In the hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there 

But at the North Pole sudden changes arose 
All down to Rudolph and his ruby red nose 
Clipboard in hand, a breed expert arrived 
He motioned to Santa saying," please step aside". 

A smooth haired coat and a muscular build 
A broad deep chest our Rudolph did yield 
The breed expert's pen, created pages of ticks 
Then he suddenly called out "good lord, we've been tricked!" 

"This creatures no donkey and clearly no horse! 
I know these things! I've attended the course!" 
Look at my clipboard the boxes are full! 
It's very obvious to me: Rudolph is a pit bull! 

Out with the measuring sticks, he explained to Santa the law 
And he measured poor Rudolph from shoulder to floor. 
As the spectacle continued Santa said with a sigh 
He's a reindeer you fool! Why must he die? 

"The law is the law" the expert said standing tall, 
Then picked up his mobile and made a quick call 
The sound of sirens filled the peaceful night air 
and Rudolph removed ...to who knew where? 

Days turned too weeks and confused and alone 
Rudolph pined, for the place he called home 
As the first snow started falling Rudolph gave up the fight 
And he took his last breath on a cold winters night 

You may think this is funny, if a little untrue. 
But how would you like it, if it happened to you? 
If your dog was taken because of its look... 
Because it ticked enough boxes in some silly book? 

Regardless of parentage it doesn't matter what breed 
If it ticks enough boxes then it's a done deed 
So humor me here and pretend this is true 
Think how you would feel if it happened to you. 

Cuddle your hounds while you have them close by 
For some spend this Christmas, waiting to die. 
Now back to the story, it doesn't end there 
One more short verse I need to share 

Santa fetched Rudolph's body and cried for his friend 
And swore to himself, this would not be the end 
And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight 
"The law is wrong, please help us to fight!" </I>]]></content:encoded>

Isn't that pawesome? Absolutely pawsome and a big surprised for us...today is just our lucky day.

 Here's what they barked your way:

<i> You have been so good to me and helped me a lot. I want to give you these Zealies for a Christmas gift. Merry Christmas </i> 

We didn't expect to get  Christmas gift ( zealies ) and mom just can't control her emotion she started crying/laughing at the same time even Duke's mom is laughing  ...bol! hahaha!

Well ,about me I was in the  middle of my sleep and I can hear mom crying and laughing. ( I'm so embarassed! ...shh don't tell her)!

Ooooooh gosh, when it rains it pours... Woo Hoo! Finally, We received the package at 5:00 pm ( Bahrain time ) from my best pals <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/599726">Duke</a> ,<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/604861">Howard</a>,<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/615888">Jessi</a> and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.catster.com/cats/657885">Simon</a>!!!

 Mom called UPS Bahrain like a million times ...ok! that's too much exaggeration 3-4 times today hahaha! 

When they delivered the package mom when out to get the package and I  started barking and I don't bark  when someone one at door but today I barked as loud as I could so the delivery guy will hear me ( UPS guy said: Oh, he knows it's for him what? I'm a girl )! bol! I'm soo excited!
   
Merry Christmas HO! HO! HO! Thank you all so much! 


=================================================

P.S

Lassie has gone off her prednisone for at least 2 weeks now .Her SAMe meds sure is working but Keeping food down has been harder for 2 days now so we are a little worried  again and it's gonna be Christmas.

Please continue to pray for our Lassie to feel better and we  hope and pray that her next ultrasound and blood work will  be  fine!  We really appreciate all your love/ support/email/kind words/cards /rosette and special gifts and prayers from the bottom of our hearts .Thank you all so much! 



Hope you are all safe and warm this Howlidays !  

Love and Kisses,
Lassie]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woo Hoo! Yippee! Wow! Whoa! Woof! Bol! OMD! 

We got up today doing our usual routine. Dada went for bath while I was lying on the floor outside waiting for Dada. Mom put the puter on and usually she opens Dogster then her yahoo email but today she did the opposite thingy.

Mom saw this (  A Friend Has Given You Dogster Gift Zealies)
<i>  The family of Avery, Teddy, Smurphy Clause, Koda, Samson~In Loving Memory~, has transferred 100 Zealies to your account on Dogster. Isn't that pawesome?
Here's what they barked your way: Congrats Lassie! You won 1st place in my free zealie giveaway!  </i>

OMD! Mom started screaming /crying and went inside the room and open the bathroom door and telling Dada that ...{blah blah blah- translate -we won 100 zealies } Dada screamed back WHAT? Dada didn't understand a thing ...hahaha! 

Well, I got so excited that I started running around with my blankies to celebrate ...Woof! Woof! [ mom didn’t even noticed my excitement if she does she must have click a video or photo of me running around like crazy…*Pant* Pant*Pant* even mom had to used her puff (ventolin  inhaler) she can’t breath (screaming,crying,laughing) 
Dada had to calm mom and me down…we are excited! We watched the video and mom still looked so tense we already knew that we won…OMD! Hahahaha! 

I even nominated my pal <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=”http://www.dogster.com/dogs/801108” >Cody</a> to win free zealies giveaway …I will be sending him some zealies too.

OMD! What a scene this morning! Merry Christmas to all! 

By the woof, Today ( December  18) is their monthsary…woo hoo! Ok, don’t ask me how to translate that because I don’t know what that means!

Thank you very much!
Love,
Lucky Lassie  (2)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/video/480092/100_zealie_winners">100 zealie winner video</a>

<i>Dearest   Murphy,
Oh, it's such a beautiful day and i just can't believe my eyes. I watched your video and I am ecstatic that you chose me to be the winner of the "	Smurphy Clause is giving away 100 zealies" 
I am thankful and extremely grateful to you for choosing a number (2) for me and actually picking my number (2) in the end for the winning price.
You cannot comprehend how important this win is for me as these zealies will help me a lot to send out my appreciations and Christmas wishes this holiday season to all the Doggies and kitties who have prayed for me and also who have conveyed me their Best wishes.

Thank you very much!
Love,
Lassie  </i>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It has been long overdue but the Christmas tree that was standing bare for the last week  has finally been decorated with the help of Lassie. The lights are up and so are the mistletoes, bells, candy cane, balls, drums and star.

It was really hard to decorate it because we couldn’t bring ourselves to do so. The feeling is a lot brighter now as Lassie is getting better and with it she brings to our hearts the warm and joy of the Christmas season.

Although the ‘SAMe’ hasn’t reached us yet, she is responding well to the Milk thistle and the other medicine that we are gently forcing down her throat. 

We haven’t seen her head Tremor for 2 days now and the strength in her rear legs is coming back although she is not quite there yet. She is eating better no puking and she is playing a bit with her BoBo.

She is getting naughty too and we are so happy to see all her naughtiness. She isn’t there yet, but she sure is on her way.

Thanks to you all for all your prayers,love and support. We are positive that she will make a full recovery.

Lots of Love,
Lassie and Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and dada  are really disappointed and sad that my medicine didn't  arrive today.We have to go to my doctor tomorrow  to get some medicine/supplement  for Liver and just to have me  check.

It's  Holiday in the Middle East on December 8  [ Eid Al Adha-the Festival of Sacrifice is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims and Druze worldwide]. No work tomorrow for government offices.

We will be waiting for at least one more week.So far I'm eating my food twice a day just small portion so I will not puke. Eating,drinking,pee and poo is good. 

I'm still yellow but I'm taking my medicine with a treat  [ pill pocket ] woof!  so I guess this is good.I'm still having head tremor and my back legs are still weak.

My meds  is taking so long and they  can't just do anything to help me.Mom had to be awake so she can keep an eye on me specially when i have the episode [Head tremor]. 

We would like to thank you for your support and concern, pmails, stars, rosettes,  gifts, pictures, emails ,cards and kind words. 
Have a great weekend everyone.

Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom noticed that my rear legs are getting weak. It started about a week now and dada had to remove our door bell because every time I heard the bell rang I just got up so fast that my leg twitch and I just slide and my back just hit the floor.

I still managed to walk but look pretty weird as if I'm drunk. Sometimes I tried to stand on my hind legs just to check the food on the kitchen counter but when i put my front legs down my body go sideways trying to get hold of myself (loss balance).


One more thing is that my head half of my body shakes/moves/tremor (we don't know how to explain it properly ) sideways  this was different from the previous time that I had a mild seizure ( head tremor up down motion)!

My drinking is fine..I mean it's way too much so as I peed frequently and the concentration of my urine is quite the same orange color/tea like color. I started eating small portion of food per meal no more vomiting for almost 2 days.

We are still awaiting for my (SAMe) medicine/supplement to arrive and hopefully today or latest tomorrow as  it's gonna be the weekend and after that Holiday here in the Middle East [ Eid Al-Adha ] sort of Christmas holiday I think.

The good news is that today I make poo poo twice and mom and dada are very happy [mom and dada did happy dance] what's wrong with these people? Ok, the reason I didn’t make poo poo for 3-4 days! So for now I just wagged my tail as I can't do the happy dance for now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Pups

December 1...They perform  an ultrasound on Lassie    and drew some blood for  CBC . The CBC result is mostly  normal with the exception  for her MCHC which is HIGH  and for her  Platelet count which is LOW.


We were in the clinic at 9:00 am they have shaved her belly and put a green bandage with paw print as she was bleeding a lot (CBC).I even made a video while they perform ultrasound.

About the ultrasound the doctor said that enlarge liver /tumor/lumps but she told us to come back for the result as she wants to discuss this matter to the other doctors.

We are praying that whatever the discussion will result to something good.They will call us for the result.We are so sad and worried for our Lassie.She has jaundice right now she is on THYROXINE PREDNISONE,METROGYL,LIVER SUPPLEMENT,PROTEXIN,MILK THISTLE , DUPHALAC AND CARAFATE.

 We knew from before that her platelet was low when they told us that Lassie was bleeding and they have hard time to stop the bleeding (Spay surgery).

Love,
Lassie

Sorry we didn't have internet connection.



NOTE:
We are very troubled and puzzled about this ... we even asked lassie's doctor if she got it from me.I am on thyroid medication as I have Hypothyroidism when I was in high school I had liver problem
 ( Hep A) from  school drinking fountain.I am on prednisone for 5 years now because of my low platelet (ITP).Is she getting it from me? Her doctor can't believed it.I know it's silly but it's a mystery.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is an update about Lassie’s condition. 

She was mostly down couple of days now  and didn’t eat the entire day. We thought that this could be because of the medicines that we added along with the food. So we gave her another food bowl without any meds in it and she ate so fast as though we had starved her for two weeks. 

So that means we can’t put her meds with her food as she won’t eat it. Lassie’s dada then gave her the medicines by actually putting them down her throat. I think he is getting better at it with each passing tablet and so also Lassie is getting the picture that she mustn’t put up a fight when dada puts his hand in her mouth.

Later at some point of time she was laying down and suddenly her head started moving as though she was having a  mild seizure. Lassie's dada  tried to calm her down [ as I need  to calm myself  down as well, I can't bear to watch her suffering ]  and she was fine after some time although she was all ‘curled’ up.

Anyways by around 3-4 am she vomited three times in succession. OMD!  We are so scared for her. Today we had the vet’s appointment at 11 am. Lassie’s blood work was not very good  all  the levels have gone higher than the last time. 

About the mild seizure like thing that Lassie experienced the vet said that it could be because of the liver. She checked her temperature [ she have  a slight fever and had loss at least  10 Lbs in 9 days] and also physically examined her belly area the vet said that she has a slight enlarge liver. 
 

 After examination she has called us in again on Monday at 9am to do an ultra sound and another blood test. She has prescribed some antibiotics and asked us to continue with the milk thistle. We are eagerly awaiting the SAMe. 


I know it is a setback for now but I pray that she will come through this. Apart from everything else she also has all your prayers, best wishes and support. I thank each and every one of you for giving us strength to get through this. We are truly blessed to have friends like you all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Whoa..what's is going on? My poop is kinda loosy and with blood. Dada left home without having breakfast and went to my vets office to get some medicines. 

[ Sucralfate (Carafate®) ] and [ PROTEXIN 250G ]

this coming Saturday is my next vets appointment for my blood work and Ultra sound.

Mom and dada are very worried right now and I haven't been eating much lately I skipped  2 meals and what this means I'm not taking my meds which is mixed with my food.

I didn't eat my kibbles  too! We still have at least 6 days for my Liver medicine/supplement to arrive and it's  seems like we have been waiting forever.OMD!

================================================

Update: 

Lassie's medicines should arrive here between 7-10 days. They ship only by USPS and it is the earliest that we could get the supplements. She has been sleeping a lot and I know she is trying to play but I guess she doesn't have much strength. 

Yesterday when we spoke to her vet and we are given instructions how to administer meds etc...we got every details and today morning we got a bit confused good thing we don't have to give her meds as we are waiting for her meds to arrive 

Maybe , we are both overwhelmed to learned about Lassie's liver problem .We are really really sad and worried. Please pray that Lassie's body will manage 'till her meds arrive. 

It is so hard to wait…. We love you all !!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>We have taken Lassie to her vet early this morning  as Last night we noticed that her eyes and skin are turning yellowish in color and the last time she had her blood work done Lassie has a high liver enzyme.

We have done a couple of test and now its getting higher and higher.
She is on Thyroxine medication for( hyperthyroidism )and now we have to put her on a special diet (liver).

The doctor prescribed  this medicine/supplements  for Lassie 
( S Adenosyl 225 (SAMe) for MEDIUM / LARGE DOGS - 225 mg (60 tabs) and Milk Thistle for Dog Liver Disease).

This medication/supplement is not available here in Bahrain and we are now trying to check if we can get it online.  This is so stressing and I guess this is not helping me get better as I'm not feeling well too.

My leg is swollen and my BP is high and my asthma is getting worse and we can't get her meds here and we have check online if they ship to Bahrain and no luck right now. I guess I better check again and again if we can find one.

Please if you know any website that ships to Bahrain and we can trust please do let me know and we really need your prayers for Lassie.

She is so healthy before and now . She is going to have an ultra sound to check her gallbladder.Her urine is orange to Tea like color.

Her water intake is just too much and peeing a lot too!  She is constipated.OMD!

The only good thing she eats well and still plays with us but I can see in her eyes that she is suffering inside.

Yesterday when my leg is just suddenly get swollen and I couldn't walk she comes running and giving me lots of kisses .
I know she is trying to comfort me when she needs comforting herself.

The doctor wanted her to be in the hospital and on IV fluid but then she told us that she don't want to stress Lassie out. Lassie is at home now.We are going back after a week for Blood work and Ultra sound.

Lassie is due to get her yearly vaccination next month we informed  her doctor and she said that it is not a good thing to have her vaccinated what you think about what the doctor said?


Will try to keep you all updated.Power of the Paw for Lassie! 

Hope you all have a great day hug We love you all.Please pray for my Lassie...

Love,
Madeline(mom)/Lassie</b>


New Update:

Thank you all for your concerns. please do remember her in your prayers with Gods grace lassie will be better soon.

Lassie's dada managed to buy the milk thistle this evening.In the meantime I was searching for 
S-Adenosyl 425 (SAMe)for LARGE DOGS - 60 Tabs on the net.

I found a site called www.entirelypets.com so when Lassie's dada came back from work in the evening he placed an order enough for 2 months.Until that arrives we will have to make do with the milk thistle.

The vet is optimistic that lassie will get better.She was even surprised that a part from the yellowness Lassie seems to be in good spirits.Even her coat is bright.She was of course nervous at the vets but did manage to bark at 2 doggies there. 

So we are ok for now as far as the meds go. xoxo]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good morning pal!

OMD!Dada was waiting for us outside our building when we got inside the car then suddenly someone has hit our car (back right side) oh gosh, we got so scared but thankful that we didn't get hurt... there is a slight damaged in the car...Thank God! it could have been worse.


After this incident we went to my vet's clinic for my appointment (blood test) again I am a good girl I let the nurse remove blood sample from my left hand ( now it's a bit swollen)!


Ok,mom forgot to take the camera and dada forgot to take his phone too...oh yeah,what a lucky girl I am (no paparazzi ) today!

see why I'm  lucky I have been scooting my rear end on the ground  for a couple of days now so ...guess what? They have to express my anal glands and mom kept on saying "oh no I should have video this"...i said what? Are you kidding me, mom? 

After that I walked out the door and they were laughing because of my "funny walk"!  I barked at them ...this is not funny at all...they Stop laughing and I think they get the picture Crystal clear!!!woof!


We just got a call from my vet's office about my blood test result last time I was Hypo now I am Hyper and I  will need to have blood work done after 3 weeks...the Doctor reduced  my dosage from 4 tabs a day to 2 tabs a day (Thyroxine)! 

About the puking I'm still under observation they don't know what is wrong but if I puke again they will have to check something else oops we forgot what the doctor said.

For now we just keep on praying that the next blood test result will be normal.Have a pawsome weekend ya'll! we love you...DC!

Love lots,
Lassie]]></content:encoded>

    I hear it! I hear the car! HER car! And she's coming this way!

    Oh, oh,  ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ THE WELCOME
 

    I hear it! I hear the car! HER car! And she's coming this way!

    Oh, oh, I must run in and grab a gift! I must greet her with a gift!

    Oh, ’BONK’ missed the step. No matter, I must hurry. Move over, doggy door! She's coming, she's coming!

    Gift, gift, where, what, oh, oh, oh, ah! A plastic bottle she drinks from, right here on top of the container they call trash! Oh, perfect.

    She's coming, she's coming! Oh, oh, oh...

    The door! I hear the door sound that sounds right before she comes in!

    Oh, it's OPENING! SHE'S HOME!

    Oh, oh, ’wiggle, wiggle, wiggle’ I cannot be still! You're home! And look, look, I have this nice bottle! Oh, oh, you're home! YOU'RE HOME!

    I have missed you so much, you've been gone hours, weeks, days, years! And so much has happened! A dog ran by and I chewed a tree and Pluto slept under the house and it rained a little!

    Oh, oh, oh! You're home, you're home!

    And you're touching me! I can't stand it, it's so marvelous! Oh, and you're speaking! “Murble, murble, good boy, murble, murble.”

    YES! Your happy voice. Oh, I'm about to burst! I'm so happy, happy, happy! Yes! I want to jump! I'm not supposed to jump, but oh, oh, just a little jump!

    ”Off.”

    Darn. Oh, I cannot be still.

    I'll roll over and wiggle on my back! Oh, yes! She's rubbing me–my tummy, my head, my sides! Oh, oh,oh.

    Now what? Now where's she going? Oh, oh, yes! Back to the room where we sleep at night! Great! It has the big pad we sleep on and ’L–E–A–P‘ I can get up here close to her.

    And here she comes!

    Oh, oh, oh! I can stand on my legs and put my paws around her neck and–uh oh. Can't lick with this bottle in my mouth. But it’s my present to her! Oh, oh, what to do? And she's rubbing me! But I want to lick her, oh, oh, I think I'm about to burst!

    ”Off.”

    Oh, darn. Drop the bottle. Oh, YES! She’s coming back!
    She took off the pieces she puts on her eyes, and I can stand and 'lick, lick' I love you, I love you, I love you, I love ’lick, lick, lick’ you taste so good, salty, sweet, I love that stuff you smear on your face every day, I love to lick it off, oh, oh, and you're rubbing me again!

    My back, my head, my ears, oh, oh ’lick, lick, lick’. ”Murble, murble, Mickee, good boy, murble, murble.”

    ”Off.”

    Darn.

    I will lay here and watch her. Watch her peel her fur–it’s–not. It is very warm. I don’t know because I don’t think. How does she do that?

    And I will get that look on my face that always makes her come and rub me. The look where I roll my eyes up, and keep my head flat here and she will come...and she's putting on her play skin! YES! We will play–sometime. My tail cannot be still. I am SO happy, happy, happy.

    Now she’s going in the room with the wonderful water bowl! I LOVE that water bowl – always cool, clean water! She'll be out in just a minute, just a minute, just a.....yes, she's coming! She's here again.

    Oh, oh, oh....

    Now back to the room with the box that has pictures and sounds. Ah, I know what happens now. Yep, she's laying down on the big pad there. Now she'll sleep. But that’s okay.

    She's HOME!

    SHE'S home.
    She's home.

    And she smells tired. So I will lay beside her here and guard her and wait while she sleeps. And when she wakes up she won’t smell so tired. And we'll play and play.

    S–i–g–h. I’ll just rest with her now, and smell her while she sleeps.

    And wait again. For, the next thing that happens, HE'’LL be home.

    And then, oh, oh, zzzzzzzzz........]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi pups

It's been 3 days that I am on my Noroclav (antibiotics) for the infection of my spay surgery incision.

The swelling and redness of my incision is getting better and discharge is totally gone * no more discharge from my incision * We think it's totally under control * paws crossed pups* 

I didn't puke for the whole day now... so it's really a good sign after all the shots I get...ohhh..injection!

mom and I still sleep in our living room together...as I'm not really allowed to be in mom and dada's bedroom it's for mom's sake (asthma)! But sometimes I get to go inside whenever.

ohh, we don't have a/c in the living room (short circuit) when you put the a/c on all the light go off .we have been calling the landlord of the flat as our a/c is under warranty but they didn't show up will be sleeping again tonight without a/c ...oh it's hot! 

 so mom had to sacrifice even if it's hot...she will watch me not to lick and scratch my incision when dada comes back from work it's mom turn to sleep.

This has been going on for the last 2 weeks. We are still praying  for my speedy  recovery.I'm on my thyroxine for my Hypothyroidism and we still have 2 more weeks to wait for another blood Test. 

My doctor wants to be sure about my high liver enzyme /Low cholesterol result.we hope and pray that my upcoming blood test will be good.

Thank you all for your well wishes,love,support, pmails,cards ,special gift and rosettes from the bottom of my heart.

we love you!
Lassie & family


P.S

Hugs to all of you.will try and sends out our thank you to all but for now a BIG thank you to all.

mom is not feeling too good for these past week her asthma and she need to have her bloodwork done for her platelet.she got bruises and spot of blood from her nose please pray for my mom too.

we need to get her check but she can't go as nobodys around to take care of me. mom doesn't drive  so dada had to go with her too.   :?


Anywoof, the redness around my incision is not that red anymore so I guess this is a good sign.Even when I puke I still love to eat...the only thing is I cant do whatever I like no play,no jump,no running,no scratching,no licking ::o so most of the time I'm just napping. 

Our place is like a NO zone! POP to all! Hope you all have a great Monday ...ok,not that great as your mom and dad will be back to work but have you guys.

lots of love,
Lassie|:|]]></content:encoded>

We just got back from the clinic they check my incision and they had given an antibiotic tablet and injection for 5 days as I have infection on my incision ( redness and swelling with discharge).


mom will have to give me 1  1/2 tabs of ( Noroclav) twice a day for 5 days.My doctor had left Bahrain for some family emergency (France) she will be back next week.Dr. Jeannie is the one who gave me my Thyroxine meds and  my antibiotic tablet ( Noroclav ).

When we got home I puke mom had click a photo of my eek. Mom & dada are so worried why again I puke.I didn't have anything when we go to the clinic.

I'm a brave girl I was not scared of the injection but I'm scared of the curtain when it moves ...eek! oops! shh, don't tell anyone.



Keep your paws crossed for me.  pray for me POP! Hope you all have a great Sunday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ after her stitches were remove 2 days ago, we notice that a redness/pinkish around the incision area and little swelling and a liquid discharge clear white mix with a little blood.

last night she puke all her food came as it is and there are creamy color looks like phlegm ...I gave her boiled chicken and rice.She is taking Thyroxine 2 tablet twice a day since the removal of her stitches.

The day of her spay surgery we have asked them to have Lassie tested for thyroid and comprehensive bloodwork. the findings were Lassie had a high liver enzyme ,low cholesterol and Low thyroid function.

The doctor didnt gave us anything for medication and we haven't speak to her doctor even if we made an appointment that day as she was busy.

The one who gave the thyroxine medication is some other doctor from the same clinic.

I'm sorry this is long and we just can't get proper answer from her vet.Thank you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good Morning to all my furiends


We just came from my vet clinic and got my stitches remove...Bye Bye stitches!

Dada had made a video of me while they remove my stitches.mom is trying to upload my video but its says error so I guess we have to wait for Dada to come back from the work.

mom forgot her camera *what? she actually forgot to take the camera with her* When they remove my stitches I got so scared my whole body is trembling but you cannot be able to see it in the video.

mom finally talked  to the other vet from the clinic *as usual my vet is not there* We got my medicine for my Thyroid and I have to take 2 tablets twice a day for 3 weeks then we have to go back to have my Thyroid test/Blood work.

Mom asked if it's hereditary as she also have Hypothyroidism...woof! The Doctor was laughing ...oops just joking! bol 

My new vet  says that my fur coat is normal and it doesn't look like I lost fur she said it's normal to shed.I guess mom and dada are just worried about me.

About the high liver enzyme she told us to wait for another bloodwork to be done to be sure.She is confused because my Hypo should make me gain weight and not lost weight.

Now at least I have my Thyroxine and just pray that everythings gonna be fine and for my coming blood test will just keep my paws crossed for that !

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We were called to see the vet and we arrived at the clinic at around 4:15pm .Since the appointment was scheduled to be at 4:30pm We decided to wait and discussed what we should ask the vet.

Earlier the clinic had called and mentioned three things about Lassie's comprehensive blood test result :

1. High Liver enzyme function
2. Low Thyroid function
3. Low Cholesterol

This actually got us worried and we surfed the net in order to check causes,reasons for this and this could be rectified.We were very optimistic that in addition to our findings ,the vet would be able to shed more lights in this regard and guide us in the right direction.

Sadly come 4:30 pm we were told that the vet is too busy her assistant who was very helpful by the way reiterated the above findings and told us that there is nothing to worry it's normal he said.This was quite contrary to what we had  read.

The assistant mentioned that Lassie lost a lot of blood during surgery.They have given her something for the bleeding to stop (potassium) We will go back on Monday for another blood test and we can get the print out of the blood test result.

This entire ordeal although not very serious has been very disheartening .We wished the doctor would have been more responsive and give us at least 5 mins of her timeso that we could understand better and could get answer to some of the questions we had.

Anyways , Lassie is back home sleeping right now next to me.I'm sure she will be her usual self tomorrow.Thank God! at least the surgery is behind us.Let's hope for the best and better cooperation from the vet  on Monday.

Thank you pups for all your prayers,well wishes,pmails , special gift and rosettes.

Power of the paw! please pray for her blood test to be normal.

hugs,
Madeline & Lassie]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is
more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your
hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more
quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as
you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls
upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a
domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no
greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.
Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not
reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me
clean food, that I may stay well to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing, and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me
of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather, hold me
gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me merciful bounty of eternal
rest- and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is a great day for mom! Dada came home for lunch with a surprise.
He entered home with a package behind his back. I was jumping in anticipation. Thoughts were racing through my mind,was it pizza or a new toy?

Then I realized mom was getting more and more excited than me...In the package was my Halloween costume.Although I was very excited to see it ( not as much as mom of course) I would have preferred some pizza or a burger.

Any woof, mom is now trying her very best to convince me to wear it. She put it on me once and I am thinking ...I don't need anymore coats.She says I look pretty in my pumpkin costume. I shall let yáll decide. 

Hope yáll enjoy looking at  my new photos. Have a Howling Halloween to all!


Love and Kisses,
Lassie


P.S

Mom is trying to upload my photos and it says: <b> Dang! Unable to transfer hires photo to shasta tied hires_width=784, hires_height=587, trying to copy pix/dogs/11/569311/569311_1223562121.jpg to</b>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Today is Friday and it's dada's day off so as usual we sleep in late.I was trying to wake up dada at about 10:00 am when the door bell rang.Dada woke up and opened the door.Well it was the handy man.

He was there to fix the plumbing in the master toilet and put new light bulbs in my Toilet.he finished his work in about an hour and left.Rest of the the day was as a usual Friday.

Late afternoon mom & dada decided to go out to buy somethings from the supermarket.They left me at home and I decided to engage in a well deserved nap.
I drank some water and assumed my favorite spot for a cool nap.I don't know how much time had passed when I heard a crashing sound coming out of my toilet.
OMD! I wonder what that is...*thinking* I decided to investigate.I got up cautiously sniffing the air,two steps front,one step back.

I got closer & closer to the door my heart is pounding .I nudged the door open , OMD!!! the glass cover of the light fixture on the ceiling had come crashing down.
Apparently the handy man had done a lousy job.
There was glass everywhere.Luckily I wasn't in the toilet at that time doing my business...bol!

Ok,so what do I do now? *I think to myself* Will mom & dada think I had something to do with this? Oh don't be silly...I wouldn't reach the ceiling anyways. So, then I decided to warn mom & dada when they get home.

After awhile they are back and I am jumping (of course not as usual) trying to tell mom somethings up. I hear dada tell mom that ( Lassie is behaving differently ).Then when mom goes inside she screams (OH MY GOD!no,no,no)and immediately comes to check me out (she found the broken glass)!Mom & dada checks my mouth,head,body,hands,feet ...etc(paws).
I try to tell mom that I'm fine by giving them lot's of kisses.*mom tells dada that (Lassie is truly a good girl) she didn't try to be nosy and hurt herself, Bless her!

hugs,
Lassie

P.S     
I waited for dada to clean up the broken glass in my toilet and couldn't hold any longer so I peed outside  my toilet.I'm soo embarrassed...xoxo

OMD! its hard not to cry :(( but we manage to keep our cool while we are inside with Lassie.when we are walking out of the kennel both of us are so sad then we look at each other and we are both crying.|:| we left the Lassie in the kennel at around 3:30pm when we open the door there is no lassie waiting at the door.:?:?  

The house is so empty and oh gosh, Im not sure what am I writing right now. I dont have strength right now and we have to finish our shopping and packing and all. We really pray that she will be ok and happy there.

She have her own a/c big bed and biggest room in the kennel.we have taken the phone no. of the care taker so we can check Lassie anytime.we ask a friend to visit lassie every week.Hope and pray all goes well.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You need to have a bit of patience with a Virgo dog as these animals can be very picky! Finicky is their middle name, especially at mealtime. Be sure to feed them simple food and to do it at the same time, every time. The Virgo pooch is also prone to hypochondria, so they'll forever be wincing or yelping about this or that. Get used to it! That said, it can be easy to care for this dog if what you need is a stable routine. The Virgo pup will enjoy being walked at the same time every day and will appreciate its usual route, thank you very much. These animals are also neat and clean, so see to it that you clean up their mess as if it were your own bathroom. The Virgo dog will not expect new toys as it is much more fond of its well-worn staples. They also have a great attention to detail, something that makes them good guard animals. While the Virgo canine can seem demanding at times, it's only because they know what they want and are counting on you to give it to them. Keep things simple and consistent, and you'll both be smiling that irresistible smile!]]></content:encoded>

We think that what happened in the 1st kennel happened for a reason and it's  a good sign.The day (May 19)  that I am supposed to have my trial boarding and I got rejected ...The weather is so bad (Sandstorm) mom wanted to cancel the trial boarding that day.We realized that day that the kennel is not enclosed space when it is sandstorm it's not a good thing.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b> You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watching the Doggie Connection, dig in the Bumping Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to bump
Where they play the thread, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a talk
Anybody could be that thread
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Bumping Queen, young and sweet, only three
Bumping Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the bumping Queen

You're a teaser, you get that thread
move it up
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a talk
And when you get the chance...

You are the Bumping Queen, young and sweet, only three
Bumping Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Bumping Queen</b>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b> right now we are sad as i am supposed to do a boarding trial today an overnight stay at the kennel.
This is what happened in the kennel as we have reconfirmed Saturday night over the phone.
Today is the signing of contract and payment.The lady(wife-owner) agreed that I can stay until the 31st of July . now the guy (Hubby-owner) said they can only take me until  15th of July ...who is going to take care of me after that???

now we are home and mom and Dada  worried again as this is happening.Dada has to skipped work just to drop me and now we are back to nothing.we are running out of time. we are just so disappointed and sad.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b> Hi pups,

Mom & dada is going on  vacation to India( home).Mom is going to meet my grandpawrents ( IN LAWS)  for the first time personally.Dada will be seeing them for after 6-7 years so ,dada is very excited and mom is kinda excited and of course the feeling of seeing/meeting your in-laws for the very first time.

The problem right now  is they have to put me in a boarding kennel for 45 days (long term) as they are going to be traveling 4 places in India. It is not a very good idea to take me but they are really worried about me staying in a kennel for long time. This is gonna be a stressful time for all of us. 

We don't have much boarding kennel option here in our place (Bahrain) we have checked 4 places so far 2 places are good but price is a bit high. The kennel which is 10 mins from our house is costing us 180 BD.=$ 477.514 USD  for 45 days and this kennel is small villa doesn't have much space outside to run and play. 

The 2nd kennel is 30 mins from our house is costing us 270 BD=$716.256 USD for 45 days and this kennel is  spacious and has several amenities which we think is better place as I can get enough exercise and pleasant living conditions.

To my DC Admins: 

We are very sorry that mom  has to leave again to accompany dada on (June 19-Thursday).You guys have been very supportive in the past and would sincerely appreciate all your support again.Will bark soon.

Have a great time!
Lassie</b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b> I AM YOUR DOG
 
Author Unknown
 
I am your dog, and I have a little something I would like to whisper
in your ear.
 
I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work. Some have
children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and
there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand
things in life.
 
Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See, the
way my dark brown eyes look at yours. They are slightly cloudy now.
That comes with age. The gray hairs are beginning to ring my soft
muzzle.
 
You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do
you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in
the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior
wrongdoing for just a simple moment of your time?
 
That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes to be with
me.
 
So many times, you have been saddened by the words you read on that
screen, of other of my kind, passing. Sometimes we die young and oh
so quickly, sometimes so suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your
throat. Sometimes, we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not
even seem to know until
the very end, when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract
clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take
that long sleep, to run free in a distant land.
 
I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from
your eyes, that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and
you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just "One more
day" with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit
and grieves me. We have NOW, together.
 
So come, sit down here next to me on the floor, and look deep into my
eyes.
What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you
and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as "alpha" or as "trainer" or
even "Mom or Dad," come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and
let us look deep into another's eyes, and talk.
 
I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I
may tell you something profound about myself or even life in general.
You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to
share such things with.
 
Someone very different from you, and here I am.
 
I am a dog, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses,
and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls. I do not
think of you as a "Dog on two feet"- I know what you are. You are
human, in all of your quirkiness, and I love you still.
 
Now, come sit with me on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow
down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper to
my ears.
Speak with your heart, with your joy and I will know your true self.
 
We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very short. </b>


Thank's Duke & sandi for sending this to me.xoxo]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors .

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.

He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, " This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.

When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woo, It's the 4th day now since mom's try to feed me with my new food bowl.If you have watch my video (My new food bowl part1 & 2) you will see how I reacted with my prezzie. 

This is the story when mom's prepares food she will put it down and I have to sit and wait for her command ( get up and eat ) I will follow her right away and straight to where my food  and eat it as fast as I can.

Now I have been trying not to eat from the new bowl and wait for mom/dada to transfer it to my  old bowl. I bark at my new food bowl and I'm not ok with it. (Remember that I dont really bark  only when I want to play and do my business) Mom/dada knows that don't like it because whenever there is something new(unfamiliar),change the positioning of things  in the house  I will start barking then they  have to try to calm me down  and mom will tell me to check it out.

This is not the first time that mom bought me new food bowl but this is my first ceramic food bowl and mom is very excited that she got me the new bowl and now she is sad that I dont like it.

Maybe I have a thing with new things just like when my dada bought me a big bed (made to order).I don't like to sleep with my new bed so mom decided to put my old bed on top of my new big bed.

What is wrong with me? What you think ?  Do you have problem like mine ? 

Happy New Year to all! Have fun and be safe!

Love,
Lassie]]></content:encoded>

by Scamp Ramsay

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/318640"> Scamp </a>


On this night of all nights Lord, keep all dogs nice and warm
But please Lord most importantly, keep them safe from harm

On this night of all nights Lord, let them find some meat
For they are cold and starving as they lie upon the street

On this night of all nights Lord, please take the lives of those
Who are suffering and in dreadful pain, from their tail right to their nose

On this night of all nights Lord, please don’t make it snow
It may be nice for lucky Dogs, with homes and fires that glow

On this night of all nights Lord, let them feel no pain
For all the love we send them, will only be in vain

On this night of all nights Lord, please take away their fear
And let them not be kicked or beaten, and shed another tear

On this night of all nights Lord, a gift they do not need
Could they just have a family, to love and give them feed

On this night of all nights Lord, don’t give them a big fat goose
Please just get them rescued, from their chain that’s like a noose

On this night of all nights Lord, Santa knows they’ve not been bad
So why do they get tortured, by their evil drunken Dad

On this night of all nights Lord, why would someone hurt a Dog
Or tie them up outside the house in ice, wind, snow and fog

On this night of all nights Lord, as they sit there cold and wet
Just tell them it is possible, this is as bad as life will get

On this night of all nights Lord, I’m as lucky as can be
I only wish those other Dogs, could spend this night with me.

Amen

I dont know if it's me or mom & dada you judge. Well this happened 2 yrs ago we were in Kuwait and mom & dada supposed to have coffee & cake for snack but then they just run & hide inside their bedroom so I run  and try to open the door but the problem the key was outside it click & the door locked they cant open the door mom was screaming Lassie please open the door of course I try to open but it double click so in other words LOCKED!

I was crying outside because I want to go in but then mom & dada dont have their phones inside the room no one to asked for help and both of them are blaming each other why did they left the key outside.
after 30-45 mins they remember the screw driver from swiss knife so dada unscrew the door then after that they remove the keys and keep it inside.

About the coffee & cake on the table it was the same everything in the right place i did not move from the door till the time they were outside & I was crying the whole time. then when they come out of the room dada had to fixed the door I gave lots of hug & kisses to them</b>]]></content:encoded>

Thank you all so much! We are glad to have  great friends like you.I feel  a lot  better now and mom says I\'m the old me again. Mom was trying to recall what I had been doing before I vomited.I was in the balcony and mom was checking dogster but the door in the balcony was open and she can see me as she was sitting  next to the balcony.She haven\'t feed me anything new from my diet so the conclusion was I may have  eaten something that had flown/landed in our balcony(feathers of the pigeon ) as we are staying in the third floor.I think that was the mystery behind it!

Thanks again and have a great weekend to all! we love dogster/dogster pals!

Love & Kisses,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Ive' been tagged by my wonderful pal, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/dogs/501150">RIVER</a> and want to play along.

Here are the rules of this dogster game of "tag" in case you've never gotten a chance to play. When you are tagged, you post 7 random facts about yourself, compose a "new DIARY entry" along with the rules and put them in your own DIARY. Then you pick 7 furs (kitties or doggies) to tag but make sure you tell them... a simple p-mail will do fine, or a rosette to tell them, but you must let them know that they have been tagged. Post their names also in your DIARY.


Here are 7 random facts about myself:

1. I have gained weight!! BOL!!!

2. I have a new huge bed but right now I'm too stressed to sleep on it so mom place my old bed on top of my new bed that's how I sleep !! bol

3. I got extra treats since my birthday(Sept)  then Cutie' s birthday then Renze's birthday and today my dada's birthday!

4. I love Birthday's!!!

5. I went out for a walk with dada after a long time.

6. woo hoo ! I have 1,145 pals now!!!

7.  I am in the 3rd Annual World's Coolest Dog & Cat Show! Here is my link: <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/show07/vote_pet.php?i=569311">Lassie </a>
 

The 7 pups I'm tagging are:

1) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/338306">Sadie</a>
2) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://www.dogster.com/dogs/368999">Maggie</a>

		<title>WORLD ANIMAL WEEK  (Ten ways to make the world better for animals)</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>1. Help reduce animal overpopulation

The Solution:

* Adopt your next new friend from an animal shelter or rescue group instead of buying from a breeder or pet store.
* Make sure your new friend is spayed or neutered.
* Research different breeds to ensure you find one that's right for you and your family.

2. Report animal cruelty

The Solution:

* Learn how to recognize signs of abuse or neglect, such as extremely thin animals, wounds on the body, and animals who cower in fear when approached by their owners.
* Report abuse immediately to your local humane society, animal control or law enforcement agency.
* Educate yourself and others about how to properly train and care for companion animals.
* Never participate in animal fighting, including dogfighting, cockfighting, or hog-dog fighting. This is a particularly insidious form of animal cruelty that should be reported to authorities immediately.

3. Live in harmony with your wild neighbors

The Solution:

* Prevent conflicts with wildlife before they occur by doing such things as securing garbage cans, feeding companion animals indoors, blocking holes and filling cracks in your home.
* Control nuisance animals humanely with motion activated sprinklers, acoustical alarms, or visual deterrents (e.g. scarecrows, reflectors).
* If you require outside assistance, make sure your ‘Animal Problem Control Officer' does not use inhumane methods like poisoning, drowning, or shooting.
* Keep your cat inside. They are predatory by nature and are capable of killing numerous wild species.
* If you find an orphaned or injured animal, contact your local wildlife rehabilitator, police department, or animal control officer. Never approach or try to handle a wild animal.
* Create a haven for wildlife in your backyard by planting trees or shrubs, providing a water source and limiting your use of toxic pesticides.

4. Make more humane food choices

The Solution

* Choose only free range or organic meat, milk and eggs, or products certified as coming from humanely raised animals. U.S. humane food certification programs include “Certified Humane,” “Free Farmed,” and “Animal Welfare Approved.”
* Beware of misleading labels such as “natural,” which have no meaning in terms of animal welfare and may be placed on products from animals raised on factory farms.
* Ask your local markets and restaurants to offer more free-range, organic, and humane certified foods.
* Make healthy food choices by adding more fruits and veggies to your diet and reducing your consumption of meat.

5. Use the power of the purse

The Solution:

* Shop with compassion. Choose only products that have not been tested on animals. Look for the Leaping Bunny Logo – the highest level of assurance that a company is cruelty-free.
* Be wary of products claiming to be “cruelty-free” or “not tested on animals.” Some companies state that they do not test on animals, when in fact they merely contract someone else to do the testing.
* Write or call companies to let them know you will not be purchasing their products until they stop testing on animals.
* Inform others. Most people aren't aware that many household products depend on animal suffering.

6. Live light on the land

The Solution:

* Reduce. Don't use "throw-away" products like paper plates, napkins, and plastic silverware.
* Reuse. Take your own bags to stores to carry home your groceries and shopping.
* Recycle. Rinse all recyclable glass and plastic containers to remove food remnants that might attract animals and remember to cut apart each ring in plastic six-pack carriers before you discard them.

7. Be a compassionate traveler

The Solution:

* The number one way travelers can protect animals is through their pocketbooks. Support animal-friendly services and avoid those that exploit animals.
* Don't accept culture as a justification for cruelty; boycott bullfights and festivals using animals.
* Never pose for a photo with a wild animal.
* Never use animal rides or transport that could cause animal suffering.
* Never buy wildlife souvenirs or products that may have endangered or caused suffering to animals, such as ivory, tortoiseshell, fur, and horns.

8. Avoid establishments that keep wild animals in captivity

The Solution:

* Don't visit marine parks, zoos, or other establishments that hold wild animals in captivity.
* If you want to observe these magnificent animals, visit places that allow people to view animals in natural and humane conditions (national parks, nature reserves, animal sanctuaries, rehabilitation centers).
* Try wild dolphin or whale watching. These eco-friendly excursions enable tourists to become immersed in the natural world of marine mammals without threatening the health and welfare of wild species.

9. Be prepared for disaster

The Solution:

* Be prepared! Take the time to make a plan and assemble an emergency kit for you and your companion animals.
* Evacuate early, if you can, before a mandatory evacuation order is issued.
* Take your companion animals with you. They can easily be lost, injured, or killed if they are left behind to fend for themselves.

10. Support international recognition of the importance of animal welfare

The Solution:

Secure a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare at the United Nations, which would:

* Recognize animals as sentient beings, capable of suffering and experiencing pain.
* Recognize that animal welfare is an issue of importance as a part of the social development of nations.
* Act as a catalyst for better animal welfare provisions worldwide.
* You can help by signing the petition! Reaching our goal of 10 million signatures worldwide will raise public and government awareness about animals and the importance of considering their welfare</b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First time that lassie got her nail clipped is by her vet dr. Joseph. He showed it to me & my hubby. After that I have to do it myself.  My hubby could not do it ‘coz he is so scared that he might hurt her. What I did whenever I want to clipped her nail I would pretend that Im doin my manicure/pedicure for me then she would be checking the nipper, brush & nail cutter then lastly she will check her nail clipper. She will sit and give her paw then I would tell her lassie you’re next ok? Then she will sit beside me and wait for her turn. She loves it when I brush her paws. Whenever she moves I will brush her paws then she lay down and relax sometime she snores. Underneath I put a paper or cloth. While I clipped her nail I talked to her so she will not be scared. I will let her check/smell her nail after each clipping. She loves to check each and every one of it. Everything is done then I will say “wow” lassie you have nice nail/nice paw. I appreciate her for being a good girl. I only do this when we are alone “coz if there are other people she tends to get excited. This is how I deal w/ her so no tensions between us. She feels safe and part of what I am doing . .

The first 2-3 session was pretty scary for me and for her but as I discover best technique so we are both at peace. Good fun and hygiene.

happy clipping,
Lassie & mom

Thank you all for sending me rosettes!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WE ARE LIVING IN A 2BEDROOM 2BATHROOM APARTMENT SO THERE IS NOT MUCH SPACE FOR ME TO RUN AROUND. BUT I GOT MY OWN BATHROOM SO I DON’T HAVE TO GO OUT TO PEE OR POOP OOPS, SHOULD I HAVE TO REVEAL EVERYTHING?  (DO MY BUSINESS).I GOT MY OWN ROOM BUT 
I SLEEP ON MY BED WHICH IS OUTSIDE MY MOM & DADA BEDROOM. IN THE MORNING WHEN MY DADA WAKES UP HE WILL ALWAYS SAY HI/GOOD MORNING LASSIE. WHEN MOM WAKES UP SHE COMES OUT I GOT UP FROM MY BED AND FOLLOW HER TO THE LIVING ROOM. MOM OPENS THE BALCONY FOR ME SO I CAN HAVE MY MORNING FRESH AIR & OF COURSE CHASING ALL THE PIGEONS WHO COMES IN THE BALCONY. IM JUST HELPING MY MOM COZ SHE ALWAYS COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PIGEONS POOP IN THE BALCONY. I LOVE BASKING IN THE SUN .BUT NOT FOR A LONG TIME .THIS PRETTY MUCH HAPPENED EVERY DAY EXCEPT DURING SANDSTORM MOM & DADA WILL NEVER ALLOW ME TO BE IN THE BALCONY.WOOFS! WOOFS!
 
MY DADA LEAVES FOR WORK HE ALWAYS GIVE LOTS AND LOTS OF KISSES AND IM SAD BUT I KNOW HE WILL BE BACK SOON SO, I JUST MAKE MYSELF BUSY LIKE PLAYING OR JUST GO BACK TO SLEEP. I LIKE MOM WHEN SHE ATE BREAKFAST ‘COZ I KNOW I GET TO HAVE WHAT SHE IS HAVING LIKE BREAD WITH BUTTER/CREAM/BACON/HAM/HOTDOG WHAT?! DID I SAY HOTDOGS??? OH MY?! EVERYTHING WHAT SHE EAT EVEN THOUGH I CAN ONLY GET A SMALL PIECE ‘COZ MOM SAID FOOD CONTAINING PRESERVATIVE IS NOT GOOD FOR ME. THEY USED TO GIVE EGG BUT LAST MONTH MY VET SAID THAT I HAVE ALLERGY FOR FISH AND EGG SO NOW I CANT HAVE THEM ANYMORE.  

SOMETIMES MOM DOESN’T EAT BREAKFAST ‘COZ I WILL HEAR HER SAYING SHE IS ON A DIET BUT I CANT SAY THAT SHE IS STILL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. WAG TAIL, BOL…THIS IS JUST A SECRET PLS DON’T TELL HER. WOOFS! WOOFS! MOM START TO CLEAN THE HOUSE THEN I HAVE TO GO INSIDE MY DEN/HOUSE BUT SHE WOULD VACCUM MY PLACE AND I WAIT FOR MY TURN TO BE VACCUM (SHE DON’T REALLY VACCUM ME JUST PRETEND THAT SHE IS ) SHE ALWAYS TELLS ME THAT ITS NOT GOOD TO VACCUM A DOGGIE LIKE ME. THEN I GO INSIDE TILL SHE FINISHED CLEANING AND THE FLOOR IS DRY. 

MOM IS AN EXCELLENT COOK I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT. WHEN SHE IS COOKING IM ALWAYS IN THE KITCHEN WITH HER LAYING DOWN ON HER FEET SHE USUALLY ASK ME TO BE OUTSIDE COZ SHE CANT MOVE FREELY BUT I JUST LOVE TO BE   WITH MY MOM.THE ONLY WAY I WILL BE OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN WHEN SHE STARTS FRYING ‘COZ   IM JUST SCARED OF THE SPLATTERING OIL.(TAIL TUCKED IN MY BEHIND)!  MOM EVEN GETS SCARED TOO. SO WHEN SHE  FINISH COOKING I GET TO TASTE FIRST IF I CANT STOP LICKING MY MOUTH THEN ITS GOOD TO GO.

 WHEN IM STILL A PUPPY IF THERE IS FOOD FELL ON THE FLOOR I USED TO HELP MOM IN THE KITHCEN BY EATING IT SO SHE WILL NOT HAVE TO CLEAN THAT PART. 
ONE DAY ITS BARBECUE TIME SMELLS AWESOME THAT I CANT RESIST TO EAT THE FOOD FELL ON THE FLOOR WHEN MOM & DAD TOLD ME ITS HOT I DIDN’T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE MEANING OF “HOT” TILL THAT DAY WHEN I JUST SWALLOW IT AND IT BURNS MY TONGUE I SPIT IT OUT COZ THEY WERE TRYING TO REMOVE IT FROM MY MOUTH THEN I REALIZED OH THAT WAS HOT! SO THEY TOLD ME TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER I GUESS IT HELPS BUT MY TONGUE IS A LITTLE BIT RED. NOT QUITE A GOOD EXPERIENCE THOUGH FOR A PUPPY BUT FROM THEN ON I WAIT FOR MOM OR DAD’S APPROVAL WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR. IF MY MOM PREPARES MY FOOD I WAIT TILL ITS NOT THAT HOT OR BY THEIR APPROVAL.BUT WHILE IM WAITING I GET SO WHINEY AND MOM WILL LAUGH AT ME. I DON’T GET IT WHAT SO FUNNY?

I GOT VERY EXCITED AROUND PEOPLE AND WILL WHINE TILL I GET TO MEET THEM AND GET A RUBBED ON MY BELLY OR EARS. BOL!  IT WORKS!  I HARDLY BARK WHICH IS A GOOD THING MOM SAYS ‘COZ WE ARE JUST STAYING IN AN APARTMENT. THESE ARE MY REASON WHY I HAVE TO BARK AFTER I USE THE TOILET DOIN MY BUSINESS I DON’T HAVE TO EXAGGERATE THAT PART. 

IM DADA’S BIG LAP DOG! I STILL THINK IM A BABY BUT THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IM A BIG GIRL NOW, DUH? AH!  I DON’T THINK SO! IM A BIT SPOILED WITH MY DADA I THINK HE IS JUST TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE TIME HE IS NOT AT HOME. MOM IS NOT WORKING SO I GET TO SPEND MOST OF TIME WITH HER. THAT’S WHY I THINK SHE TRIES TO BE THE DISCIPLINARIAN AND MY TEACHER SHE HAD TAUGHT ME TRICKS.SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER ÇOZ IM A SMART STUDENT GOT THE PICTURE? BOL…BOL.

MY DADA COMES HOME FOR LUNCH I GREETED HIM AT THE DOOR GIVE HIM LOTS OF KISSES. HE WILL STAY FOR SOMETIME. HE ALWAYS GIVE ME BANANA AFTER LUNCH. I DON’T KNOW I JUSTLOVE TO EAT. MY FAVORITE TREATS PEDIGREE MEATY BITES (BEEF FLAVOR).OH! YUMMY…
BEFORE THE PETFOOD RECALL I USED TO HAVE CANNED FOOD. AFTER THAT MOM HAS TO COOK FOOD FOR ME LIKE GROUND BEEF WITH THINLY SLICE/CUT CABBAGE, SHREDDED CARROTS & POTATOES WITH A LITTLE RICE. OH! WOOF WOOF! 2ND RECIPE BOILED CHICKEN (SHREDDED & BONELESS) WITH VEGGIES. EXCELLENT!! YUM-O!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ramadan Kareem to all muslims out there! Yesterday is officially the start of ramadan.
Most restaurants are closed during the day and food should not be consumed openly during the day by both non-muslims and muslims who are not fasting.
All bars will be closed throughout the month,and licensed restaurants that remain open will not serve alcohol.

By the way we are not muslims so we are not fasting.Specially me woof woof! I cant fast mom says I am Lassie the foodaholic!bol
For 3 days now the weather here is really bad Humid and sandstorm cant breath properly specially mom she have asthma.I am so sad I cant even go out to the balcony oh, I miss the outside.I wish we can go out for a walk again.

Yesterday,mom & dad went out to buy some groceries of course they bought a toy (ball) for me but guess what? after 5 mins of playing I managed to make a hole...so no new ball for  me.lets say it's  is history...bol

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Love Fest

It is a new Dogster tag game. You are Loved! You pick three Dogsters that you think are fantastic and tell a little about why! Don't forget to let them know how much they are loved with a p-mail, star or a rosette. By what I have read, you do not tag the one that tags you. There are so many great dogs and their families on dogsters that it's tough to pick but I'll start with....

These next 3 pals are special to me and here's why...

1) PJ GONE TOO SOON!  because I got my 1st ppr from his mom when I joined dogster and she thinks we do look alike. It reminds her of  PJ.

2) MONTY because he was the 1st  one to send me an IM. He is a cutie and loves his family.

3) NAKITA because he is a great companion for her dad. she is a psychiatric service dog. pretty girl...

love,
LASSIE]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ woof woof! To all the dogster lovers as I am hearing a lot of complaints about rosettes given anonymously and with meassages that are rude and I would think that it is better for the HQ to change settings/preference of sending anonymously.Giving rosettes is a sweet way of telling them how great or cute they are when you are receiving a bad message.As my pal jojo received an anonymous rosette with a message:
The rosette say:

"Heard you are dating a gold-digger! Head for the Rainbow before she takes you to the cleaner's! Here's the Rainbow to catch...."

I personally think that this is not a fun way of sending anonymous rosettes.so if we pups ask the HQ to do something about this before we start findng a more friendly environment so what you think? It is just my opinion....sorry for all those sweet pups who had to deal with this anonymous rosettes.
how can we give others and just give them pain?]]></content:encoded>

Last night my dada & I went out  for a walk and we visited our neighbor  pinky (German shepherd) she was whinning and I can feel that she wanted to come out and play with me but she wasnt able to play with me because her pawrent will not allow her to go out and beside the security guard will not open the gate for pinky to come out.bol and I'm sad for her.we left and still thinking of pinky alone with  no one to play with.
It was pretty hot even in the night. Now we are goin for a walk so will try and see pinky . When mom puts the harness It means we are going out.woo hoo !!! I got to go now.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday,  mom stitch me a dress and  she click some pictures of me. she  uploaded  the photo and  I hope you like my little brown dress. Dad bought another squeaky ball for me  because he knows that I had fun with it. I'm a little confused where that sounds came  from 'coz  everytime I grab the ball it makes this crazy annoying sounds. But I love it !Love it! woof woof!

 The reason why I wear my little brown dress coz my mom lure me with my squeaky ball so i just try to behave and give my mom what she wants after she finish taking pics & video then I can be free from my dress.bol
Sometimes it's hard to be a doggie we just need to be patient with our pawrents.Mom had made some really really nice food for me it's pasta with ground beef and vegetables ohh sooooo yummy yum-o. I guess that's all .Have a pawsome weekend  to all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ LAST APRIL 25,2006 
WE ARE AT THE AL DOHAMA CLINIC (KUWAIT) FOR LASSIE’S APPOINTMENT.SHE NEEDS TO GET  MICROCHIPPED AS WE ARE LEAVING KUWAIT WITHIN THAT WEEK. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAMERA SO I CAN VIDEO TAPE THE PROCEDURE.
WE WERE OUTSIDE THE CLINIC TRYING TO GET LASSIE TO GO INSIDE WHEN WE NOTICE IN THE PARKING LOT A KUWAITI LADY W/ HER FAMILY AND HER DOG. WHEN WE FINISH  WE WENT OUT IT WAS RAINING. THEN MY HUSBAND HAD STARTED THE CAR WHEN I SAW THE DOG JUST OUTSIDE THE GATE OF THE CLINIC. I TOLD MY HUSBAND TO COME OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECK  IF THE LADY STILL THERE ‘COZ WE RECOGNIZED THE DOG.THEN THE GUY WHO IS WORKING IN THE CLINIC(HELPER) SAID THEY MUST HAVE LEFT THE DOG PURPOSELY.I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE THAT. WE FEEL SO BAD  THAT WE CANT TAKE HIM WITH US AS WE ARE LEAVING.WE ASKED THE GUY IN THE CLINIC TO TAKE THE DOG INSIDE THE KENNEL BUT THEY REFUSE NOT UNLESS WE TALKED TO THE VET DR.TTHE ONLY THING WE CAN DO TO HELP IS TO INFORM THE PAWS KUWAIT (SHELTER) TO RESCUE THE DOG. THEN  I ASKED MY HUSBAND  TO CALL THEM AND HE SPOKE TO MS MARGARET PAWS VOLUNTEER.THEN MY HUSBAND EXPLAIN THE WHOLE THING THEN SHE ASK THE DR, TO JUST KEEP THE DOG FOR THAT NIGHT.  
I DIDN’T KNOW THAT I WILL BE NEEDING THE CAMERA FOR RESCUING A DOG. I CLICK PIC OF THIS DOG SO WE  CAN SEND IT TO MS MARGARET FOR IDENTIFICATION. THE DOG SEEM S TO LIKE ME ÇOZ HE ONLY COMES TO ME AND EVEN SNIFF AND LICK MY HANDS.POOR DOG HIS SCARED AND I CAN SEE IN HIS EYES THAT HE IS ASKING FOR MY  HELP AND HE WANTS TO COME W/US IN THE CAR I THINK HE THOUGHT IF HE COMES IN THE CAR HE CAN SEE HIS FAMILY .HE IS WET AND COLD. I TRY TO TALK TO HIM SO HE WILL LET THEM PUT THE LEASH/CHAIN TO HIS NECK.BUT IF THEY TRY TO GET CLOSE TO HIM HE WILL RUN.THEN I WHAT I DID I SLOWLY GO INSDE THE GATE OF THE CLINIC WHILE HE FOLLOWS ME  INSIDE THE KENNEL THEN THEY PUT THE CHAIN.I SEE TO IT THAT HE IS INSIDE THE KENNEL AND HE GOT AWARM WELCOME FROM THE OTHERS.WOOF WOOF. ITS SO SAD TO LEAVE HIM BUT I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT HE WILL FIND A NEW FAMILY SOON.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I UPLOADED A PIC OF ANGEL THE NIGHT WE RESCUED HIM. IF ANY ONE FROM VANCOUVER CANADA HAD RECOGNIZED HIS PIC TAKEN FROM KUWAIT (OUTSIDE DOHAMA CLINIC) WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIS NEW PIC & TO KNOW THAT HE FOUND A FOREVER LOVING FAMILY MAKES US SO HAPPY THAT WE HAD SAVE HIM. 

We remember him very well. He was named Angel and taken into Dohama where he stayed for about a month. He had to have his medical bath and worming, vaccinations. He turned out to be a sweet natured young dog and wasn't at the shelter for long before one of our long term helpers took him to foster and later adopted him. The family have since relocated to Vancouver Canada and we have asked for an updated (nice!) photo as don't like to use the one where he was so sad and alone. Although we do our best to get all the photos on the website it is a part time volunteer organisation and sometimes the photos aren't sent. We are missing a lot of updated photos but pls be assured the dog is safe and well and much loved by his family.
 Best regards from the PAWS Team-Kuwait

Hi Ms. Margaret,

We are presently in Bahrain. Last year in April me &
my wife had found this dog outside Al Dohama
Clinic.You had posted about this dog in your previous
website.I just happened to come across your new
website & didn't see any entry for this dog, if he/she
was adopted. will you pls. update me about this
dog.pls. find the attach photograph of this dog. It is
the same photograph that we had email you last year.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Received my F1rst rosette from RAMBO certified service dog.Wow what a thrill. a very huge 'Thank You'to him.

i was sunbathing on the balcony this afternoon when mama decided to make a video of me. i didn't really like the intrusion as she was blocking my sun but i am always game for some camera time. 

Then she asked me the very important question-lassie where is your dada?''
Ofcourse he is more appealing than the camera, so i went to look for him. I think then she stopped recording. she has uploaded the video to my page for all you guys to have a look at. 

hope you guys had a pawsome day

woof woof

I was not chasing any Pigeons today. Most of the time i'm just sleeping   trying to reserve my energy for the evening  walk .  Last night i know mom and dad did short cut walk coz it's too hot. This bahrain weather is really crazy. Just happy that we go out atleast...woof woof!!!]]></content:encoded>
