		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ They call it a vacation.  But do I get to take a breather?  Nooooo, there are donkeys and cattle to control, and of course I step up to the plate.  Get this, my human sister feeds treats to the donkeys and ignores my "starvation" looks!  And the cattle, no fences so they are just wandering everywhere, mooing and doing all that cow stuff (and bull stuff, yeah there was one that woke up on the wrong side of the barn, for sure.)  

PLUS stairs up to the bedrooms.  Ugh. I might have made a misstep once so my strategy is to look pitiful and someone might carry me.  Also, found a good trick about stickers in the grass!  If you think you might be in an area where there are stickers, immediately hold your paw up and some human will feel sorry for you and if you are lucky, will pick you up so you don't have to watch out for the dumb stickers.  

Also, we had a long conversation with a bunch of guy turkeys.  We'd say something and they would gobble gobble and this went on for several minutes. Mom said something about them looking for some hens.  How hard is that?  I saw chickens everywhere.  

I heard coyotes at night and also saw bats flying at dusk. Pretty cool.  I wanna go back and this time I'm gonna practice my techniques on stairs and stickers from the get-go.  If I'm gonna have to do animal control, I deserve some PERKS!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Once again, the Davis Mountains called us back.  All those critters needed reminding that Mad-Dog takes no prisoners.  Including the whole family of wild pigs on the ranch.  5 babies!  And my mom was going "Oh, how cute." Get real, Mom, did you not notice the hog traps everywhere?  I did, and they smelled very interesting!  I offered my services as trap-guard, but no one listened...

There were only 2 young bulls in our pasture this time, but of course I immediately put them in their place.  This one hereford had the nerve not to be scared - I think once he might have intended to get pushy, but my mom was there. I dunno about those horns.  

And a few bunnies here and there to chase under the fence.  And again my mom is doing the "cute" thing about them.  Jeez.  

In Terlingua, my mom, ever the bleeding heart, puts out a whole loaf of bread practically in strategic places for the local coyote.  He showed up at dusk and from the looks of it, he's been doing well at those cabins.  I was not allowed to confront the coyote.  We probably would have bonded, both being canines etc. And having pointy ears.  He might have let me have a piece of bread.  I'll never know.

Most of the time was pretty relaxing, took a lot of naps in the sun.  We always did animal rides in the mornng and at night.  Saw a ton of deer which I expressed interest in and saw a fox or two, which I guess I'm supposed to gravitate to, my being a toy fox terrier and all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just got back from Caprock Canyons!  Cool place with tons of critters to monitor - let's see, ya had your buffalo, your deer, your pheasants, your sandhill cranes, your wild hogs, your turkeys, your coyotes, your foxes and even one skunk crossing the road!  BUT and this is the sad part, residing there is Queenie, the Barn Cat.  This place is a Bed&Barn, 3 bedroom house on one end, stable and corral on the other - you just open the bathroom door, and there are horses and a tack room, hay - all that barn stuff.  Also, there is the cat.  She acts like she owns the place.  Doesn't look scared at all when she sees me.  IN FACT she likes to act like she is stalking me - it's downright creepy.  You go out on the front porch and she scrambles to the front of the house; you go out the bathroom door, there she is! And she has this little "I'm so cool" look on her dumb cat face (I'll put a pic of her on my page).  AND she's always trying to make friends with my mom and dad.  You know that icky rubbing against your legs thing they do. So we had a great time - but this is the third time Barn Cat has been there, so I guess it's a cross I have to bear. Couple of my Dogster buds have offered to go out there first and let her know what's what, but I think the owner of the Bed&Barn likes her - she eats mice and stuff.  Dawg, hasn't he heard of mouse traps?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We stayed in Taos, Pagosa Springs, Silverton, Delores, Soccoro, and Roswell, the longest in Taos Ski Valley which was way up 9200 ft.  A husky dog greeted us first off and she wasn't even the house dog!  And the owner had a BIG cat - 22 lb.  Elwood.  We looked at each other a lot and I barked at him, when behind the window.  Hey, I'm not stupid...We took drives all over and walked around all those places.  They got some strange animals up there.  One day while on a drive in the mountains, Dad brakes for this animal who is sunbathing in the middle of the highway, actually on the center stripe.  He lumbers off into the woods - I find out it's a marmot.  Then in Colorado at our cabin, there is an army of chipmunks and ground squirrels (neither resemble the tree rats at my house).  I get to bark a lot at them, but of course cannot chase them, "They're so cute." my mom whines. Bite-size squirrels is what they are, specially those chipmunk things. Saw a snow-shoe rabbit - that dude had humongous feet!  And deer and antelope and stuff like that.  Bunch of elk crossing signs everywhere, but no elk.  And mountain sheep - same thing.  Guess my reputation had preceded me. Went to White Sands - radical place but it was like 102 outside and I was really appreciating the AC about then.  Last night we were at Roswell, where the aliens ended up and it was a big stink.  There were little green aliens all over.  Even a KFC had a sign "Aliens Welcome."  But you know, they won't let DOGS come in, wazzup with that???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't know what was the best thing about this trip - the pigs or the deer - oh wait it was all the smells on the walks in the state park, yep that's the ticket.  There were a couple of drawbacks - mainly one dumb cat named Queenie who lived in the barn and was a real smarty-pants.  Coming up to my mom and dad and rubbing on their legs, trying to sneak in the house - at least twice successfully.  Trying to PLAY with me, OMD!  I showed her, by Dog, I would eat some of her catfood every chance I got - ha ha!  And then there was Bandit, the boy horse, who lived there too - he was pretty cool and he loved my mom and dad - it was a carrot and oats kinda thing.  But anyhoo, we saw a bunch of wild pigs roaming around - you shoulda heard my mom trying to call them - snort snort.  (Don't give up your day job, mom, oh wait you DON'T have a day job.) She thinks she is a good turkey caller too - and they were everywhere.  Deer out the wazoo, buffalo, a couple of coyotes, and a ton of dead skunks - wazzup with that?  It was scary cuz there were wildfires everywhere - a couple pretty close to us!  Spig and her family visited a couple of days, and of course she has to have an attitude - always does - but I grinned and bore it. All in all, I would say it was a terrific 2 weeks and I'm ready for the next trip!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We stayed at the trailer on the mountain for 2 weeks.  It was very relaxing.  So relaxing.  Ya see it was pretty cold and dawg it made good napping.  Yeah I know I was in the middle of the cedar brakes where animals run and play and I know I shoulda been chasing those critters, but as you can see from the first 6 pictures on my page, I did a lot of thinking about it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So we go for a couple of weeks to the Davis Mountains, north of the Rio Grande where there is news about something happening on the border all the time.  There are Border Patrol everywhere down there and check stations where they ask you what your citizenship is and there's a big ole German Shepherd ready to sniff your car if you look suspicious. And there are eyes in the sky - a big ole blimp thing floating over Marfa, tracking possible drug dealers - it's always there. So because I, because I am a patriot, and because we already had our roof replaced this spring, decided to pitch in.  I will post a few pics of me in action. 

While I was on the ranch, I was in charge of 3 Hereford bulls (The Twins and Wooly Bully) and my throat is sore from straightening THEM out.  

Mom and Dad fed foxes every night but once again, my pawrents wouldn't let me go after them OR THE STINKY PIGS EITHER. And one morning coyotes sounded like they surrounded the cabin...Did I get to chase them off?  Noooooooo. 

But we had a great time!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We moved our trailer to our friends' place in the country.  It's cool, tons of critters.  However the sad news is I am having to consider legal action against my pawrents.  Here is the deal:  

Fact:  There is a deer-feeder very close to the porch
Fact:  Deer come every day to eat corn
Fact:  I am not allowed to chase the deer
Fact:  This totally denies me, Maddi - FastDawg - the  
       right to pursue happiness as per the Declaration of     Independence

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, I have been a travelin fool.  My pawrents are something called retired - I think it means they stay with me all the time and still provide kibble and soccer balls (priorities you know).  So in April we go back to the Bed & Barn in Quitaque.  Only one horse this time - still in training - but 3 CATS.  Barn cats.  Crazy things.  But I lay the law down and all is cool.  I put a picture on my page of this weirdo deer we saw the second day - I mean it was around Easter so we are thinking EASTER BONNET - it IS pink for Dog's sake.  We saw a lot of deer without hats too!  So remember the movie TWISTER - one night the storm chasers were all around in weird cars and trucks.  The clouds were scary too but we didn't have a tornado - someplace else did - and Mom kept practicing yelling "COW!"  Don't ask - she's weird.  We stayed 2 weeks out there and had a blast.  Saw some prairie dogs too - fast little things, but too shy to socialize with.

Then in May we go to Caddo Lake, home of BIGFOOT which my mom and I practically ran into the last spring we were at the bayou.  All the usual suspects, bunnies, squirrels, beavers, 8 million water birds - a lot of which make barking noises - go figure - and a big ole turtle in our back yard and an armadillo, helping himself to OUR pier.  I, of couse, showed him the error of his ways.  My mom and her friend Jac said they saw a gator off the pier - we have our private pier and it goes WAY out into the lake - but dad and Jac's husband didn't believe them.  Such cynics! 

So now I am waiting to see what this retirement thing is going to bring next.  But guess what?  I'M READY!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMD, it was as big as a cow and as ugly as sin - it was a WILD HOG.  And that is one of the things I have to tell about in this entry.  We went to Quitaque, TX and stayed in a Bed and Barn, yep we shared quarters with 2 horses, who my Mom named Gracie and Joe, and I had to go out to the barn part every once and a while and put them in their place.  Horses tend to get uppity...

My bud Spig (Jack Russell) and her people came too and we had a ball.  Out in the middle of nowhere - the town has 400 people in it and the country has a million deer.  There was this information letter at the B&B that said - THIS IS RATTLESNAKE COUNTRY - DO NOT LEAVE THE DOORS OPEN!  But cuz it was really cold, they weren't around.  Grass burrs, though, there was a bunch of them.

We got stuck in the snow and had to get pulled out by a tractor.  That was fun - and that was the first night!  It jerked us so hard my mom and me almost hit the ceiling and I had to calm Mom down cuz she thought we were gonna have to spend the night in the truck, which woulda been okay for me cuz my bathroom is right outside the truck door - BOL   

And some kind of wild cat came into the barn one night and tore open the trash and made weird moaning noises which also upset Mom.  He left big pawprints in the sand in the barn.  And a skunk came too!  And coyotes!  Yippee - bring on the wildlife!  

Get this - think we are going back SOON!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok this is paradise for deer.  Leakey, Texas on the Frio River!  Mom has a friend who let us stay at their place in the country and woo hoo there was a deer feeder in the back yard and let me tell you, those deer were scared of me.  Tons of them would be meandering around and off I'd go - and that deer would be 10 miles away, trembling in his hooves!   BOL !  It was great.  There a bunch of pecan trees - and you know what that means - SQUIRRELS!  Yep, when I wasn't keeping the yard free of deer I was yipping and chasing tree rats!  AND the place next door had 6 dogs - 4 boston terriers and 2 border collies.  We were introduced and eyed each other every evening when their folks came home.  We took a lot of drives in the country and one place had giraffes, gnus, peacocks, camels, wallabys and kangaroos and some of those African deer with big horns.  One day these guys were trying to capture the roos with what looked like a butterfly net.  They were not successful.  All in all it was a great vacation - of course when I get my humans with me 24/7 for 10 days - that's always the BEST!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Let's see, what did I do?  I have put some photos on the page to help with the story - #1 - This is the Rio Grande River - the mountains are in Mexico.  I of course offered my assistance to the border patrol to sniff for stuff - you have to go through their check point at several places down there.  They didn't take me up on it - but my dad and I did go down to the riverbank to see if we could see anything suspicious.  

Javalenas - this is in OUR BACK YARD.  These things are the most hard headed animals on earth. Rocks and slingshots - they just ignore!  Of course my mom is the most hard headed mom too - she puts down birdseed that the pigs LOVE.  So I go nuts and bark at them every chance I get.  

This is a bullfight I had to referee on the ranch.  Some guy was using our pasture to feed 13 bulls, yep all guys, and every once in a while, one of them obviously said something smarty to the other one and then they got into this shoving, kicking dust, pushing each other's head kinda fight.  Everytime we drove through the pasture, I set em straight all right - barked my head off at them to tell them to chill.  

#4 - This osprey was on the ranch in a big cottonwood tree.  I didn't do much at all about him, but my folks thought he was cool.  

I also got to  see a bunch of deer, roadrunners, one wild turkey, a fox, a bunch of jackrabbits, and a ton of feral pigs.  They were at the spring on the ranch - there were 2 moms and about 25 little piggy babies.  They are supposed to be bad for the country - probably because they have so many little babies.  

I got to take walks in the country everyday, go up into the mountains to explore, drive the pick-up around the ranch and have all that time with my folks!  

My folk's friends were there for a while too and they have a jack russell named Spig.  She was ok, except when I tried to introduce myself properly (butt sniffing you know) she took exception to that and growled at me.  What?  

It was a great vacation and I know we'll go again!  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This one is simple:  write down 5 of the naughtiest things you do and then tag 5 others to do the same!  I bet we all do good on this one!

1.  Act like a screaming banshee when left in the car, thereby preventing mom and dad to eat at restuarants comfortably while on vacation
2.  Jump up and down for hours, yipping at squirrels, when told NO MADDI (over and over)
3.  Sprain ankle while jumping up and down on glass slider because Dad was leaving me at home, instead of taking me
4.  Goose whoever comes in the front door by jumping up into goosing position (they hate it)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We got back from Caddo Lake today.  My main mission was to capture Bigfoot or at least have a go at him (my mom and I swear we heard him one time here).  But although there were plenty of animal sounds on the bayou that got our attention, we didn't see him!  I did have several chases at the millions of grey squirrels that were EVERYWHERE.  I think there are a lot of these pests in Dallas, but nothing compared to Caddo.  And they are a different kind, they kinda hop and go way up in those huge trees.  I chased several up in the trees and a couple under the pier, and they were sighing with relief when they escaped.  I barked at the beaver and the bunny and even had several dog encounters - they were visiting  us at the cabin and my traitor mom gave Joe the Lab treats!  The dogs mainly ignored me when I showed no interest!  We had a great time - lots of walks and chases and quality time with the folks.  Ready to go back!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I belong to THE PET POETRY GROUP and this is a poem I wrote about our group!  

Poetic dogs and poetic cats 
Put aside their petty spats 
To coin a phrase, to make a rhyme, 
And always have a terrific time. 

Poets are we and we are proud! 
We'll bark and meow our poems out loud. 
It gives our moms and dads great joy 
To say - hey, that's my gal or that's my boy! 

We have contests - it's fun to play! 
But most of all it's great to say 
We are all poets - it's plain to see 
The PPG is the place to be! 

So hear ye, hear ye, far and wide 
Don't be shy - just come inside 
This group - we'll make you glad you're here 
And we'll all give the POETS cheer! 

Poetic dogs and poetic cats

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We got back from Quitaque yesterday late.  It was 7 long hours to get home.  (I slept, mostly.)  Let me tell you what critters I was lucky enough to terrify on our trip - this is canyon-country and not many humans populate - the town closest to the park had 432 people in it!  Ok, buffalo, cows, mules, horses, goats, roadrunners, quail, prairie chickens, pheasants, audads, wild hogs, skunk (well my mom told me about that one - she ran from it), wild turkeys,  rabbits, and many, many deer. There were a bunch of other smaller birds - but I figure GO FOR THE GUSTO - I prefer mammels as my prey!   Of course, once again, I was restrained - I mean it's a park for dog's sake, what's the deal with leashes no longer than 6 feet!  AND my mom and dad put this dumb harness thing on me (it's a safety thing for riding in the truck).  But anyway regardless of that, I had a good time - now I'm a little hoarse and my nose is tired from sniffing the ground and the air (animal scents go a long way you know.)  And let me tell my "Squirrels group" buds, there were NO squirrels - I think it's because they have all gone to the Midwest for the beginning of their attempt to take over the world!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We went to the lakehouse for Thanksgiving.  Very cool, right on the water with tons of trees for squirrels and deer to hang out in.  My mom's human grandson was there and we played ball ALL THE TIME.  It's a big house so there was a lot of room to throw the ball and for me to show my expertise.  And I chased squirrels and barked at deer (mom and dad won't let me chase the deer - they like them and want me to be quiet - yeah right!)  I got a fishhook in my lip and my dad cut it off so it came out but it hurt and my mom was going crazy (she does that...)  But it's all better and I consider the trip a success!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Because itâ€™s Thanksgiving time, there is a change to the rules. Each player needs to tell seven special things they are thankful for. Tagged dogs must post the rules in their diary and their 7 things. Then choose 7 pups to tag and list their names. Let them know by pawmail or rosette that they have been tagged and to read your diary for the instructions on how to play.

7 things I'm thankful for:

Mom and Dad think I'm the best dog in the whole world

I get to play ball every day with my Mom and Dad

My human sister loves me too

We get to go on vacations where I have many adventures

My backyard has squirrels, possums, raccoons sometimes, and doves to chase

My Dad takes me for walks in the neighborhood

I always get some banana when my Mom or Dad has some.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We got back from vacation at the ranch in the mountains this week-end.  I had a blast!  I bet right now all those animals are still shuddering at the thought of MADDI, the EXTREME TOY FOX TERRIER.  There were cows, horses, quail and javelinas - I made them all very nervous.  I got to take a lot of long walks (there were these grasshopper things everywhere - man, you can't catch those critters).  I even got to ride in the back of the pickup with my mom - coooool.  We got up every morning before sunrise and took an animal ride to check out the deer - same thing at sunset - I even helped drive (well I put my paws on the wheel...)  And before we got to the mountains, we stopped at a park that was made out of sand - dad called them dunes.  They let me out and I ran and ran - it was so neat - it felt so good on my paws I didn't want to stop.  I recommend the mountains and the sand dune things to all dogs out there - you will like both a lot!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woo-Hoo!!! I just heard we are going to the Mountains on vacation soon!  We have gone there a lot - even in my short life, and it's soooo cool.  Here's the deal - a ton of places to walk and to smell new animal smells - no cars which is good, and there are cows and horses - and I have to show them who's boss!  (I must admit the cows just kinda look at me with this "who ARE  you?" look on their faces and keep eating!  But I know they are faking it and really scared inside!  And there are deer, foxes, turkeys, hawks, bunnies, mountain goats including THE DREADED JAVELINA.  These are smarty pigs that think they can come up to our cabin anytime they want!  Ha!  I bark and growl (but my folks won't let me chase them) so the pigs KNOW if I got loose, it would be the end of them!  But they are pretty brave and my dad and mom usually end up chasing them off!  I will write again when we get back - but maybe we will stay in the Mountains!!!  Mom and dad always talk about it!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Monday and my parents went back to work - I hate that!  Friday, Saturday and Sunday we stayed at the lakehouse, right on the lake.  My mom and pop went fishing in the morning and late in the afternoon cuz it was soooo hot.  I got to bark and chase squirrels and raccoons and I even saw a deer eating in the backyard.  I got to lick a perch (it's a little fish) before it went back in the lake.  They wouldn't let me see the catfish - I guess it would claw me.  And we went for a drive and my parents all the sudden said "Look, a CAMEL!!"  I guess in the country people have strange animals cuz it was big and funny-looking.  Anyway, I had a good time!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, from the start - I do not dislike chihuahuas - I have never met one - but I have nothing against them.  BUT I am not a CHIHUAHUA!  Today we all went to PetSmart and as usual, I am looked at by little kids and grown ups and they say "Oh, how cute" which I just take in stride.  But then this little boy asks my mom, "Is she a chihuahua?"  My mom replies "No she's a Toy Fox Terrier."  And then my dad says he's going to start having me wear a sandwich board (hmmm, sounds good) that says I'M NOT A CHIHUAHUA - I'M A TERROR!"  Which cracked them both up.  Something about TERROR - I love Mom and Dad but they can't spell good...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Went to the vet today and he clipped my toenails.  My dad didn't even try to hold me - he let the tech guy do it.  Hey I'm only 6 pounds - but I can be very strong when I want to be.  But at least it's over with until they decide to do it again!  My human sister's pup emailed me and told me that if my human sister came over soon to visit - for me to hide because SHE would cut my nails.  It is a conspiracy.  You would think these humans would think of something better to do - like play ball or chase squirrels or just bark.  It makes you wonder!]]></content:encoded>

BUT Mom called the vet to see if they could bring me in to have my nails trimmed but they were too busy, so they decided to do it themselves!  Yeah, right!  I squirmed and wiggled and made it sooo hard they gave up.  I heard them talking and I think Monday I have to go to the vet to have it done!  What's wrong with long nails I wanna know???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was not unlucky!  First, the sweet lady who comes to play with me once a week - I think she's supposed to clean the house but I'm the important thing - came today with her 3 human pups.  They all love me and we play and give kisses a lot.  Then Mom and Dad came home and they were talking about how good that the weekend is here - and that made me happy.  We sat outside and I got to chase things and play ball and get in my bed when I was tired - I have an outside bed AND a lawn chair of my own when I want to relax.  So life is good!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Same ole thing - they think they have to go to work!  I am ready for the weekend when they are all mine.  SOMETIMES they even leave me alone on the weekend and I get soooo upset.  I found a way to set off the security alarm so when they are out, they get called by the alarm company.  So far they haven't come back except once because I think they know it's just me. It may be because I do it right after they leave!  One time they sent a friend over to check on me when I set it off!  Well, the weekend is not far away, so I have that to look forward to.  Now, where's my ball!??]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Every day Mom and Dad go to work.  And today was no different.  I barked and cried when Mom left, she gave me a dog treat, but I kept barking - to make her sad.  But then Dad came home and we played ball, then Mom came home and we played ball.  Then we ate dinner and we played ball.  Sometimes they say "Maddi, aren't you tired?"  But I don't get tired!  Last night I got to take the ball with me to bed, I snuggled under the covers, and I could tell Mom had taken the ball!  So I got back up and the ball was on the nightstand!  Mom had to give it to me, and I went to sleep.  I love my ball!]]></content:encoded>
