		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, the little fuzzball is approximately six years old. He was about two when I got him.
He's changed a bit. He's a bit more laid back, not quite as skinny. I miss the zoomies he used to get. He still gets them, but they're not  the same as they used to be. He still loves to run around outside. Little guy really needs a big, open, but enclosed, space to run around in. Too bad we don't have one.
And as far as not being as skinny, I think this is both due to his frame having filled out a bit more and the fact that he gets more table scraps than he used to. Cookie was our main scrap eater, but since she died Treader wanted to take her place. And of course he can't eat nearly as much as she could. I'm having to adjust the size of his meals as we go to avoid more weightgain (and he is on a diet as well), and he only gets a few scraps.

I had actually forgotten it was his birthday until I got the e-mail from Dogster. I had planned to buy him some rabbit from the grocery store as his birthday present. Looks like he'll be getting that a day or two late this year. I'll also get him a frozen feeder mouse in case he doesn't like the rabbit.

Happy birthday, you fuzzy goofball!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm reading <i>Sheltie Talk</i> right now, and it has a couple of poems at the very end of the book that I'd like to share.

<b>A Dog Lover's Prayer</b>
<i>Lord, you know that there would be times when man would need another kind of friend--one who would not criticize, nor blame, nor make demands, nor question. One who would only listen and love.
   And so you gave us the dog. Not just one dog, but a dog to suite every temperament and personality.
   Lord, we thank you for man's best friend. Help us to remember that he also belongs to you.
Therefore, while we are to enjoy him, we are not to mistreat him, nor alter his health and ability to function by breeding to suite our foolish whims. We are not to thwart his purpose by keeping him isolated where he cannot learn to function in our world.
   Teach us, Lord, not to inflict pain and suffering to gain our selfish ends--sometimes as frivilous as a purple ribbon, and not to breed so many of his kind that homes cannot be found and he is left homeless and starving, or sentenced to death in a shelter.
   Help us, Lord, to love our friend, the dog, in such a way that it reflects your love and compassion for mankind, whom you have called your friend.</i>

<b>WHAT AM I TO YOU?</b>
M. Kummer
<i>As a pup I dreamed and wondered
What life could hold in store:
For ME, I thought, there's something GREAT
Beyond that kennel door.

Out there are needy people
And I have much to give:
Love, and wit, and gentleess,
To help them learn to live.

I'd be someone's protector,
Keep little ones from harm,
Or guide an old man's weary steps,
Or help to run a farm.

I'd run and bark and jump and play
With friends along a sandy shore.
I'd roll in meadows thick and green
That lie beyond that kennel door.

I lay here waiting--longing,
As the days and years crept by;
My owner kept me fed and brushed,
But inside, let me die.

I do not think of greatness now,
I'm old and filled with pain.
My owner has some ribbons,
But I have lived in vain.

I cannot think what could have been,
My dreams are filled with hope no more,
Just floor and walls and broken heart
For me behind this kennel door.</i>

Angel lived right next door to me, and she ran off one day and didn't come back. They think that someone may have thought that she didn't have a home and kept her.
Angel is still missing. Please send good thoughts her way, pray for her, and if you live near St. Marys, GA, keep an eye out for a small black dog with long fur. (See her pictures for better idea of what to look for.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got loose again this evening. Mistress was a bit peeved with me and told me that if I didn't come in <i>right now</i>, I'd be camping outside for the night. I knew she wouldn't follow through with it. I'm too precious to her for her to make me stay outside to supposedly risk getting run over by cars or getting stolen.
She walked towards me and I ran off to make her chase me, but she just turned and went into the house, yelling "Happy Trails!".
Then I wanted in later and she opened the door and asked me how I liked camping. Then she let me in. I knew she would do that. Humans are so predictable.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress had me practice the jump this evening. At first, I was thinking that I had better things to do than jump over some plastic stick. I gave mistress a ruff time, ignoring what she said, and even running past the jump instead of jumping it. But then she said "no!" while I was running around. I stopped, shocked. She usually likes it when I run around, especially when she has a camera like she did then.
Then she told her to go  over the jump again and I did. And then she made a big deal out of it. Giving him back scratches/rubs. The whole nine yards of attention. I like attention better than almost anything. She has found that attention is a better motivater with me than toys or a treat.
Anyway, I got great at jumping after that. I even jumped higher and less sloppily.
Mistress already knew that motivating a dog is rewarding it with a reward that the dog thinks is good enough to work for, but the truthfullness of that concept was really driven home today.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been up to my old counter-surfing tricks again.
Mistress was thinking about how good I've been about not trying to take food off the table since we started raw, and suddenly CLANG CLANG! She heard something in the kitchen. She arrived in time to see sneaky old clever me standing on a chair finishing some left over oat meal. She yelled "hey!" and I got off the chair and hid under the table. When she sounds angry, I know something is wrong. But I couldn't quite place my paw on it.
She stood there a few minutes, seething in anger. Then she picked me up, and held me in front of the oat meal, which I started licking. She said "bad dog!" and I stopped. Okay. Got it. Sneaking food is bad. She kept me held up, as if testing me. I left the dish alone.
*whimper* I guess oat meal's off the menu.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ T'was The Night Before (Jesus came)

             Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
             Not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
             Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
             In hopes that Jesus would not soon come there.

             The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
             Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.
             And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap
             Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.

             When out of the East there arose such a clatter,
             I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
             Away to the window I flew like a flash
             Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

             When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
             But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
             With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray
             I knew in a moment this must be The Day!

             The light of His face made me cover my head
             It was Jesus! returning just like He had said.
             And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth
             I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.

             In the Book of Life which He held in His hand
             Was written the name of every saved man.
             He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;
             When He said, "It's not here" my head hung in shame.

             The people whose names had been written with love
             He gathered to take to His Father above.
             With those who were ready He rose without a sound
             While all the rest were left standing around.

             I fell to my knees, but it was too late;
             I had waited too long and this sealed my fate.
             I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight;
             Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.

             In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
             The coming of Jesus is soon drawing near.
             There's only one life and when comes the last call
             We'll find that the Bible was true after all!
     
                            -Author Unknown

Have a merry Christmas, pals! It may seem a bit early to say that, but I love Christmas, so I'm saying it anyway.
Mistress and all of us have been doing good. We weren't able to come online for a few days. Sorry about that.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nothing that interesting has happened, so sorry not much to report on...except...
I've been doing great on the raw diet! My teeth are getting cleaner every day and mistress thinks that I seem healthier. Next step is to inform the vet. Mistress will let him look me over and if he says something about how well I'm doing, mistress will tell him that she's feeding me the raw diet. If he doesn't say anything, she'll just tell him before we leave.
Today though, when a close friend found out about what I am getting fed, she strongly insisted that it's not good for me on the grounds of that raw meat has bacteria and that we need to talk to the vet about it. (Mistress expected to get this reaction from someone eventually.)
Unfortunately, mistress was not on the top of her game and her went blank of almost everything she knew about the raw diet. The friend also thought that raw would make me want to kill small animals like cats. That's silly. Just the other day I went up to a cat and simply sniffed it. I like to chase cats, but only if they run.
Anyway, what mistress's reply should have been that (1) dogs can handle bacteria much better than humans, and (2) compared to some things that we dogs get into, raw meat is like sterilized tools. And most of the dog food recalls were on account of salmonela (sp) found <b>in the dog food</b>, so dog food isn't exactly bacteria free either. Also, according to mistress's research, dog food with all it's sugars and such creates the perfect environment inside the dog for bacteria to thrive. While raw meat doesn't.
Hence why dogs fed raw don't usually have bad breath. Did I mention that my breath has improved since I've been on raw? :D
Another argument brought up was that dogs do fine on dog food, so why feed raw? Raw is the healthiest choice and it is supposed to resemble what the dog would eat in the wild if it caught it's own food. And cleaner teeth and better breath are pluses.
And when it comes to talking with the vet, most vets don't take a big course on nutrition and it's usually provided by the dog food companies, so naturally it would be biased.
This is half rant, half info for those who may have heard rumors on the raw diet.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress fed me inside last night and laid out a layer of paper towels. She also didn't put Cookie up before feeding me last night. Big mistake! Cookie kept trying to steal my food and while mistress was trying to hold her back, I took my meat and scurried off into another room where hopefully I and my supper would be safe from the Cookie Monster.
Mistress ended up shoving Cookie into another room and closing the door. Then she walked up to me. I went into the living room with my supper. She tried to take my food away from me. I was like "Huh????" and tried to swallow it whole to prevent her from getting it. We tugged on the food and it finally slip in half. I swallowed my half right away while mistress carried "her" half back to the kitchen. I followed and she let me have my food. I tried to take it to another room. Mistress said "no" and I dropped it. Then she picked it up and put it back on the paper towels and said "eat it here". So I did.
P.S.
I'm a diary pick of the day today! Again! Wowzerz!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, I wanted out. So I let mistress know in my usual way (sit patiently in front of her, whine as needed, ect), and she asked me "Do you want out?". I perked my ears up and wagged my tail. "Do you want out?" I perked my ears up and wagged my tail. "Do you want out?" I barked loudly in response. <i>Look, instead of wasting time asking stupid questions JUST LET ME OUT ALREADY!!!</i> And mistress did.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've gained 3 pounds and I'm no 19 lbs. Mistress was almost horrified when she found that out. She doesn't think that I'm overweight even 3 pounds heavier,  but she doesn't like me being to heavy anyway. She says less food (2.5% of me ideal weight instead of 3%) and more exercise for me. More exercise good, less food bad. *whimper*
--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
Oopsie, mistress made a mistake. I'm not overweight after all! The scale wasn't adjusted right or something when she weighed my before. Yeah! I don't have to eat less, I don't have to eat less! But I will still be exercising more. Yahoo! I LOVE running! Mistress says that when I run around I need a whole park to myself!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got loose a little while after mistress went to her friend's house today. She finally saw me sitting on her friend's porch, asking to be let in. Turns out that they were just about to go on the trampoline, so they took me on there with them. I didn't exactly <i>like</i> all the bouncy around that they did, but hey a Jedi can more than handle it. The dog next door is a Mastiff named Sassy. I jumped off the trampoline and ran over to the fence to meet her. She was barking at me. (By the woof, mistress's friend got to meet Sassy and Sassy is nice.) The owner of Sassy will have a German Shepherd coming to live at her house soon. Wow, another German Shepherd in the neighborhood!
Mistress put me back on the trampoline as soon as her brother got me.
Mistress took me home a little while later. I got two ouchies on one of my ears from scratching them against something. Mistress treated them.
I'm resting now. Won't need a walk today!]]></content:encoded>

Mistress is still teaching me not to pull on the leash. I'm not sure why, I love pulling on the leash. She finally got me to walk by her side, and whenever I'd go in front of her she tell me "no!" and I'd slow down. She used the clicker.
I LOVE that clicker!
Anyway, I'm back home now but WET! Heehee]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ See all my new pictures? Mistress took those. Well, okay, she takes 99% of my photos anyway, but I really think that these newest ones top 'em all! My favorite one is the one of me sitting on the steps. I look like  a purebred Papillon on that one and that I know I'm royalty. I think that I may have discovered a new side of me...hmmmmmmm. Well enough of that, I'll get to the good stuff.
I was up on the steps because mistress has to take care of that Solider cat again and she is trying to help me get over my separation anxiety wherever we go. I had to stay on the porch while she was feeding and petting him. And I did not whine even once. Why mistress was so happy about that, I have no idea.
When mistress came out, she had me do my stays and comes and told me to go up the steps and then she'd call me down. When it's evening, mistress says that we'll go for a walk today. We don't usually go on the weekend, but she didn't pay as much attention to me as she should have when her relatives came for a visit, so I think she's trying to make up for it.
Everything's doing great in my world. Well, except for one thing...mistress's brother was fooling around with my light saber. It was plastic and had a yellow blade. You may remember the picture I used to have on my page with it in it. Actually, it's mistress's light saber, but it's mine too. So OUR light saber. Anywoof, mistress's brother BROKE it! Now he has to buy her, excuse me...US a new one.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Getting slack, aren't I? I used to update a lot. Anyway, when mistress got home from her friend's house tonight and brought back her Rottweiler Webkinz, I found it and thought it was mine. She layed down on the couch and I asked her to play with me. She  told me that she was sorry but she was tired. She had a hard time getting to sleep last night and when she did it was around 4 o'clock in the morning! Whoa! Anyway, I picked up "my" toy and she took it out of my mouth. At first I thought that she was playing with me, but then she just layed the toy down next to her and I jumped up with her and curled up.
Mistress gets to go to the water park tomorrow. I might actually get to go later on this month. On the last day that the water park is open, they allow humans to bring dogs with them. They were going to take me last year, but the special day was on a Sunday, the day they go to church. *sigh*]]></content:encoded>

		<description>Mistress is taking it today:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress is taking it today:
<i>I am Cookie and Treader's human. I am 14 years old, my name is Tiffany, and I've been a born-again Christian since I was 5. God laid it on my heart to share with you an experience that I went through the other day. Well, first let's start with what happened before that. I guess that I was out of God's will. I was having doubts about the Bible, about my faith, worrying that I was on the wrong path. I had a lot of "what if" questions. What if God really isn't real, what if I'm wrong... what if, what if, what if. I don't know what caused those doubts, though I'm sure that every Christian gets them at some point. I think that they first started several years ago, and just built up as I got older. By early 2008, I was doubting more than ever. But then, someone told me about a website called dogrelam.net. Sounds strange I know. I mean, who would think that a website about dogs would have a part on relieving my doubts? Just shows you how God works. Anyway, I joined this website. There was a forum on there where you can talk about anything off-topic and debate it. I found two threads on that forum about Evolution. I got into a debate about Evolution vs Creation with several of the members. I also found one on another subject. I got into a debate on that as well. I guess that there is just something about a debate that really makes you stick closer to your believes. Anyway, that night when I went to read my Bible, while I was reading I got this feeling from the Holy Spirit. It wasn't exactly overwhelming, but it was enough to make me cry partly out of joy and partly out of my burden for the people who I was talking to in the debate. The feeling didn't use words, but it spoke to me. It "said" something like, "Yes, there are many doubts in this life. But have no fear, you are on the right path." Instantly my doubts vanished. I was full of joy again. I could sing a hymn and really mean what I was singing. I sang several hymns. Ever since that, I have actually felt like a real Christian for the first time in a long time. I got my want to spread the gospel back, I got a lot of things back that I had been missing for a long time. I didn't get "saved again". I had simply been out of God's will for quite a while and had asked His forgiveness for that and gotten back into His will. The next day, I continued the debate, but it was starting to drain me emotionally. I had such a burden for those people that I was debating with. I wanted them to know Jesus, to know the joy that I had recently gotten back. I posted in a Christian group that I am in, asking for prayers. For both me and the people in the debate. A friend of mine sent me some advice. She said that I had done all that I could in the debate. That now I should back out, pray for those people, and let God handle the rest. I took that advice. I backed out of the debate politely, mention that I would pray for those that I was talking to, and that if they ever wanted to talk to me they could send me a message.
And, friend, I want you to know the joy that I know too. Whether you are a born-again Christian out of God's will like I was, or whether you have never been saved, but want to know that joy, I'll tell you how to get it. If you are out of God's will, then just do what I did. Ask for forgiveness and God will grant it. If you aren't saved, then all you have to do is believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins, ask for forgiveness for all of the sins that you have ever committed, and ask Him to come into your heart. It will only cost a moment of your time. Understand, just because you are saved doesn't mean that you won't do wrong things anymore. I still do wrong things. But when you accept Jesus as your Savior, all of your sins are forgiven. Past, present, and future. But, even when you are saved and you commit a sin, you should still ask God's forgiveness. No, you won't go to Hell for that sin if you are saved, but you will have all your works as a Christian tried when you go to Heaven and Jesus will see how much you did for Him.
I hope that my message benefits somebody. Even if it is just one person, this whole post will more more than worth it. Please, don't reject God or His forgiveness.</i>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That cat - Soldier - lives upstairs now. I can finally go into mistress's bedroom again! Yahoo! How did I do it, you ask? Well, I'm not really sure. I'm guessing that my puppy eyes did the trick. They probably finally got to the guy who owned the cat and he moved the cat upstairs just to make me happy. That's my theory anyway. And I'm sticking to it unless you can come up with a better one.

So, I'm back to doing it in my diary.
Today's topic: Where do YOU lay up your treasures?
Most people familiar with the New Testament are probably also familiar with what Jesus said about where you lay up your treasures:
"But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor dust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."~ Matthew 6:20-21.
What does it mean? It's okay to have possessions down here, but don't value them so much that they are like treasures to you. There is a little saying that I like, "The only thing that you can take with you to Heaven is your family."
How do you lay up treasures in Heaven? By serving Jesus (by spreading the gospel) and not placing your trust in material things. What are the rewards we receive for doing that? Well, only God knows, but whatever it is it will be something that will make us truly happy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, mistress clipped mine and Cookie's nails. Yipe! Then, she read us a short little funny book, and then she went to bed. This morning, she played with me and my Ducky and Cow toys. Then she spent some time rubbing my belly upon my request. I was making growly noises. I would start with a sound between a moan and a growl and then I would sit up and make the same noise but much faster and more rapidly. Then I would lay back down again. I did this three times. Mistress thought it was funny. No, I wasn't hurt. I was just being goofy. :D]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress got me a new collar. It just fits me, and it has a stainless steel buckle instead of a cheap plastic one like my last collar (which broke). It can slip over my head if I try hard enough, but that's good because that if I get caught in a bush I'll be able to get free. Mistress got a harness for me to use on walks. I put two pictures of of me sporting my collar and harness!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>In the Middle of the House</b>
(by Bob Hilliard)

<i>The railroad comes through the middle of the house.
The railroad comes through the middle of the house.
The trains all come through the middle of the house
Since the company bought the land.

They let us live in the front of the house.
They let us live in the back.
But there ain't no living in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track.

When a bill collector comes to the house
He knocks and bangs on the door.
So we sit him right down in the middle of the house
And he never comes back no more.
No, he never comes back no more.

The railroad comes through the middle of the house.
The railroad comes through the middle of the house.
It comes and goes through the middle of the house.
And the trains are all on time.
And here comes the 5:09.

The railroad comes through the middle of the house,
The in and out of the middle of the house,
Right smack dab through the middle of the house,
Where the parlor used to be.

There's a great big door in the front of the house.
There's a little old door in the back.
But we can't have doors in the middle of the house
'Cause that's the railroad track.

A relative came to visit the house.
He liked to scream and fuss.
So we sat him right down in the middle of the house
And he never more bothered us.
No, he never more bothered us.

Oh, the railroad comes through the middle of the house.
The railroad comes through the middle of the house.
It comes and goes through the middle of the house
Since the trains are all on time.

I'm singing this song in the middle of the house.
*fades off into train noises*</i>
BOL! We have that song on an audio tape with lots and lots of train songs on it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning before mistress got on the computer she found my tug toy and we played with it. Playing with my toys, especially my favorite ones, almost always makes me get the ZOOMIES! Mistress loves it when I get the zooomies!
I accidentally, uh...um...er...collided with a table leg and after that the zoomies, uh, left me. I was fine, it just quieted me down. Gee, being a Jedi is fun, but if I wasn't a Jedi I could have said that it was the table leg's fault.
Mistress wants to get a video of me playing with one of my toys, so she'll try to do that today.
Oh yeah, and last night my collar snapped broke. Those darn cheap plastic collar buckles! I'm probably getting a new one today. In the mean time, my broken collar is tied around my neck with a shoestring.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress went to take some pictures of me outside today. She hoped that she get get some professional-quality ones. Maybe they weren't, but she did a very very good job on a lot of them.
She put some of them (what she thinks were the best ones) on my page and the ones of Cookie on Cookie's page. If any of you think that they were professional quality, I'd kinda like to know.
And guess what happened right after this picture taking business was done? Mistress's mom had gone to the store and she accidentally locked us out! Cookie was inside, mistress let her in when her pictures were done. Her mom left when my mom picture session started.
We waited out there for her mom to get back what must have been about an hour. While we were out there, mistress pretended we were on a Star Wars mission. I would have liked to be a Jedi in that game (like the Jedi I am), but she made me be R2-D2! (She said that was because when I'm upset I make noises that sound almost like Artoo. And I was nervous out there because I was thirsty, so I was making my Artoo noises. But I'm STILL A JEDI!) Darn it all, I wanted to be a Jedi in the game...then after awhile her mom came back and let us in.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night we had a little playtime before bed. I was playing quietly at first. Mistress though that I knew that it's supposed to be quiet at night, so that was why I was quiet. Humans make the silliest assumptions, don't they? Anyway, when I started to get excited, I started to make my usual play-growly noises. I tried to hide my toy fro mistress to go and get, but she just sat on the couch, hoping that I'd bring my toy to her. Well, it was bed time anyway, so I leaped into bed, spun around around once, and collasped on a blanket. After a few minutes, I got up and spun aroun 4 times like I was chasing my tail and collasped on the blankets again. Mistress laughed at that. Then she layed down next to me. I licked her face a couple ofvtimes to say goodnight and turned my head the other way. (I don't want a human breathing on my face all night, you know.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got outside again today. Cookie followed me. She's trying to copy some of the things that I do now because she's trying to get more attention.
Anywoof, it's almost Memorial Day, so I'd like to share a patriotic poem by a late friend of my mistress's:
<b><u>STAND UP FRO OLD GLORY</u></b>
<i>Stand up for Old Glory, the red, white, and blue.
The flag of our nation; our emblem so true.

The banner that's waving to tell the whole world
America's story - as it flies - unfurled.

The red tells of millions who gave of their blood.
Who fought for our freedom, through sun and the flood.

The white is purity of our founded laws,
The purest and greatest; in spite of the flaws.

Democracy rules with principles true:
With justice for all, represented by blue.

The stripes straight and smooth mark the thirteen states.
The stars in the corner add the United States.

Stan up for Old Glory; Salute it with pride.
Thank God for the nation where freedoms abide.</i>
By Daisy Dyal Smith


And I'm going with my humans to the Memorial Day ceremony tomorrow.
And remember: When America blesses God, then God will bless America.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dogster Community Guidelines specify â€śexpress yourself and your dogâ€™s feelings and talk about whatâ€™s important to both of you.â€ť It does not say that you are to express only your dogâ€™s feelings and what is important only to the dog.  Please do not flag me for expressing my honest opinion unless I say something not adhering to the Spirit of Dogster. 

Today, I would like to talk about how the Bible is the best book in the universe. First off, I'll say that I think that the KJV (King James Version) is the only right one. No offense intended to people who believe in and/or use other Bible versions.
The Bible is 100% truth. Everything the Bible says is true and God is true to His Word. He placed His Word above even Himself.  People have pointed out such "contradictions" as when in Samuel 1, at the end it said that king Saul slew himself with his own sword so that the Philestenes wouldn't kill him first. Then in Samuel 2 a man came up and informed David that he had slew Saul upon Saul's own request. Confusing though this may seem, it is not a contradiction. The man that claimed to have slain Saul was lying.
Another seemingly contradiction is, in the Old Testament, the Bibles says, <i>An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth</i>. But in the New Testament, its says to <i>turn the other cheek</i>.
Again, this is no contradiction. The Old Testament law was different from theNewTestament law. I think that God shows us what kind of  laws the Jews had before the Savior [Jesus] came so that we can see how back before Jesus's gift of Salvation was available that people were guaranteed to go to Heaven when they died by obeying God's commandments and asking for forgiveness, a combination of works and [the] grace [of God]. But after Jesus's gift of Salvation was available, I am guaranteed going to Heaven when I die (if I have accepted God's gift, which I have) by grace alone. Accepting God's gift of Salvation is telling Him that I believe in Him and to forgive me for all the sins that I've ever committed. After that point, yes, I will still sin, but this time those sins won't keep me from going to Heaven. When I asked God to forgive all my sins back when I first got saved, God forgave all my sins ever committed, as well as any that I would commit in the future. (Still, when I commit a sin, I should still ask God to forgive me then anyway.) Thus, the gift of Salvation is by the grace of God, <i>through faith. Not of works lest any man should boast.</i>
Now that I've finally gotten past that point, let's get back to my topic. The Bible is even scientifically accurate. Recently, there was news that laughing helps to keep you healthy. I don't remember all the details, but they found all this after a 40 year study. Centuries before that study even started, the Bible stated <i>A merry hearth doeth good like a medicine.</i>
The Bible said that the world was round (forgot the refference, but it's somewhere on the book of Job) long before people saw that.
In the Psalms, the Bible talks about the <i>Paths of the seas</i> long before Matthew Maury discovered ocean currents. In fact, Maury got the idea to look for ocean current by read that verse on Psalms.
I know that some will argue that the Bible isn't scientifically accurate because it, obviously, it teaches Creation instead of Evolution, if I don't mention this. So here's a few links refferancing that:
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/590007/diary/Jounral_of_the_worlds_cutest_dog/448549">diary-evolutionvscreation</a>
<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://drdino.com/">Drdino.com-Kent-Hovind's-website</a>
<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.answersingenesis.org/">Answers-in-Genesis</a>

I'd also like to take a few minutes to talk about evolution, and probability. The evolutionists teach that if given enough time a monkey could type at random a whole book.
The probability that a monkey could type the words "Mathematics" is 1/3,670,344,486,987,776 (1 in 3,670,344,486,987,776), much less an entire book. The probability of a monkey typing an entire book is so large that no human can comprehend it. For me, that right there, coupled with the fact that the universe is so complicated and so well designed that only someone with an understanding much greater than that of humans could have done it, disproves evolution.
The probability brings up another argument for my Bible thoughts. Probability supports the Bible because the possibility of the prophecies contained therein comes out to a number so unlikely, that someone must be in control of them. God.
I'll give you an example of one of the prophecies. The Bible says that in the last days there would be wars and rumors of wars. We are currently living in the last days. Soon, the rapture will take place. Well, we are having and hearing about wars. There are other prophecies as well that I could go on and on about, but I don't have the time to present them at present.
That's all for now. Thanks fur reading my little "sermons".]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been notified that some are complaining about my thoughts for Sunday entries. I'm sorry. I did not realize that they were upsetting anyone anyone. Any comments that I have received up to now have been positive. I do not mean to come off so strong as I do. As a Christian, it is my duty to witness. If you don't agree with me, that is perfectly fine. Lots of people don't. I'm just saying my piece. HQ says that I may continue the entries, but to not come off so strongly. I edited my last entry slightly, and I will contine the entries, but try not to come off so strong. This is not a rant - far from it - , but an apology.
Thank you for reading my diary.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nothin' happening here again. Well, mistress is going to a pool party this Friday, but I can't go so it's not worth mentioning really. Ummmm....oh I have something!
I've been chasing roaches a little for the past few days. The humans have just sprayed the house, so they are coming out of their hiding places for a few days. I tracked one to Cookie's bed the other day. One decided to scare mistress half-to-death last night while she was on the internet. Sorry, but heehee it was kinda funny. I'm good at keeping a straight face even when I'm amused though, so mistress had no idea that I was laughing inside.
We sent that picture of me with the Pit Bull (Staffie) that I had met at the park to a website called sorryagain.com last night. It's a website that opposes breed bans, and if you oppose breed bans you can send them a pic of a Pittie to them too.
You either have to have a caption on the picture, or a caption included with the picture for them to consider accepting it though.
Well, it's the world's most handsome Jedi signing off...

		<description>What is dying? What happens after someone dies? This is a question that many people are afraid to as ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What is dying? What happens after someone dies? This is a question that many people are afraid to ask. Dying is shunned and for good reason. Man is, and well he should be, afraid of the unknown. First, I will answer the second question.
There are many religions that claim to know what happens after someone dies. The Islams believe that if a person's good outweigh their bad, that you will go to Heaven and have many wives. The Mormons believe almost the same in that if a person's good outweighs their bad, that that person will go to Heaven. In fact, the <i>if the good outweighs bad, Heaven</i> is believed by almost all religions. Except one. It is called Christianity, and it is not a religion, but rather a relationship between the created - man- and the Creator - God. Christianity is my "religion".
The Bible tells you what happens after you die. If I have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I will go to Heaven. If not, I will go to Hell. Pure and simple.
For the saved Christian death is nothing to fear. As I will confirm with some last words from saved Christians from the past.
<i>"Oh yes, I have known Him these forty years. Precious Savior! He is my only hope."</i>
William Beveridge (1637-1708), his response to "Do you know Jesus?"

<I>"Into They hands do I commend my spirit, for Thou hast redeemed me, Oh, Lord!"</i>
Ansgar, 801-865

<i>"Oh, Lord, shall I die at all? Shall I die at all? Yes! Why, then, oh Lord, if ever, why not now?"</i>
Joseph Alleine, 1634-1668

Of course, the Bible puts it best:
<i>Oh, grave where is they victory? Death where is thy sting?</i>

For the lost [a person who hasn't accepted Jesus's gift of eternal life] person, however, death is terrible.

God chooses when to take one of us home, which is when our work on earth is done. What is a Christian's work? To tell others about His gift of eternal life and how they can receive it. When our work on earth is done, God takes us on home to Heaven. So, I won't die until it is God's will for me to do so. Unless, of course, I do something dumb like walk out in front of a car.
Now it is time to answer that first question. What is dieing? For the lost, dieing is their spirit departing from they're body and going down into Hell, which is probably in the center of the earth.
For the saved person, dieing is going to Heaven to be with the Lord Jesus Christ for eternity.

<i>"Going out into life - that is dying."</i>
--Henry Ward Beecher, 1813-1887]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I found a new toy today. Or so I thought. Mistress was tossing some things around that look like balls, but they aren't quite so round and much, much lighter. Mistress calls them "balloons". Anyway, I thought that they would be fun to play with. I wasn't quite as rough with them, because they are too big to pick up. Besides, I've seen "balloons", or something similar to them, get popped before. When mistress would throw the balloons I would run after them and nudge them and then ran the opposite way making my "this is so much fun" noise. (My "this is so much fun" noise sounds kind of like an excited growl and I make it when I get the zoomies.) Anyway, when mistress saw that I liked them she began tossing them into the air above me. I would jump to them and then run around again like before. Her brother waved a "balloon" around in my face to make me want ot more then he threw it. I ran after what turned out to be a ticking time bomb. I tried to grab it some way and it POPPED! What the WOOF? Course, that turned me off right away and I just quit trying to catch "balloons".]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not sure why but God led me to talk on "human overpopulation" today. This entry today is because of a combination of me being ridiculed for not believing in human overpopulation and God wanted me too. (I'm repeating myself, sorry. BOL)
Why I don't believe in human overpopulation? There are miles and miles out west, empty miles, where no human dwells. All the population of the world could fit in Jacksonville, Florida. Did you know that? It would be pretty crowded there, but every single person could fit in that city.
It is my personal believe that this is being taught so that eventually they will have an excuse to kill off some humans. Human euthenazia...they want the human population wiped out so that only wild animals can live in this world.
Human overpopulation teaches the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches. The Bible says <i>Be fruitful and multiply</i>, human overpopulation says don't be fruitful and multiply.
Man, as a whole, always seems to want the total opposite of what God says. This is because they do not want to believe that there is a God so that they can sin all they want.
Okay, done. Thanks for reading.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A lot of people these days are worried sick about global warming. I believe that global warming <b>is</b> real, but that it's only natural and nothing to worry about. To quote Sadie:
<i>My opinion on global warming: There are problems on this earth, but global warming is not one of them. The earth goes through hot and cold cycles every 100 years or so. Back when Cookie's mistress's dad was a kid, every was worried about global cooling, just because the temperature was 1 degree less than normal! Don't believe me? Then get this. In the 1700s, I think it was, the British could actually have a festival ON the Thames River in the winter. Greenland was always icy.</i>
Don't take me wrong. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be responsible. We <i>should</i> do our part to keep that world that God made clean. For our sake and other's sakes.
Ways to do that? Well, clean up after yourself and your pets, recycle, and don't litter.
Most people have been fooled into this global warming thing. There is a lot of scientific evidence to <b>dis</b>prove that global warming is a danger.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Phew! I'm dog tired! We went on our walk today and the heat was...really bad. This time, mistress packed some stuff (including treats, plastic bags, and the clicker) into her backpack that she got for Christmas. She says that this is a great way to pack all the stuff that we may need during the walk and she wonders why she didn't think of it earlier. She only regrets that she should have packed water for Cookie and me. I don't know that the plastic bags were for (mistress said something about cleaning up after us), but I know what everything else was for.
On the walk, she made us stop 4 times. Two times she told me to sit and the other two times she told Cookie to sit. Hmmm...I wonder why? Oh well, we enjoyed our walk even though we got real thirsty and it was so hot. When we got home, she had Cookie and me sit before she took our leashes off. She says that she was proud of Cookie and me because we <i>almost</i> behaved like Canine Good Citizens!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'll be quick because I have to go in a second, but I have a little thought to share this week. If you ever hear about a bunch of people (and maybe even animals) disappearing all of a sudden in the blink of an eye with their clothes left behind, then that was the rapture and don't bother to contact me because I'll be one of the ones who "disappeared". And you won't see me again unless you're saved and you're raptured too or if you survive the 7 year long Tribulation.
<i>How do I make sure that I get raptured too</i> you ask? Simple. Accept Jesus Christ into your heart and tell him that you are sorry for your sins and that you accept His gift of Salvation. It's so simple, but many people won't do it because they don't want to admit that they have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Every human has sinned.
Some of you may think that I'm a "religious fanatic" for believing in this stuff. If that's what you think then, I don't mind. And my believe in Jesus Christ isn't "religion". It's a relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. And I'll never feel ashamed of my "religion". The Bible has never been proven wrong and never will. Some people will never believe my message of God's gift of Salvation, but even if one person listens to me, all the persecution, all the taunts, all the work would be more than worth it. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. <i>Then why must those who do not receive His gift go to Hell for eternal punishment?</i>, you say? Because no sin can be allowed into Heaven. And it's so simple to get your sin record <b>erased</b> forever. Just accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. That's all you have to do.
Boy, this turned out to be long after all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am going to tell you what happened yesterday <b>and</b> do the <i>My Thoughts This Sunday</i> today. Did I skip last Sunday? Sorry if I did. A lot's going on right now.
Anyway, my Sunday Thoughts first. I'll share a poem that was on the back of our church bullitan today.
<i><b><u>JUDGEMENT DAY</u></b>
It matters not what age you may be
To live one more hour is no guarantee
What words would they use to honor your name
If your life should end and judgement day came

Would those that you loved remember that you
Were always the one to help them get through
A hand reaching out in times that were bad
To be the best friend that they ever had

An unselfish heart that gave it your best
While trusting in God to handle the rest
Putting yourself at the end of the list
Seeing that others in need weren't missed

Only to end up in some resting place
Waiting in silence to stand face to face
Would you be worthy to whisper His name?
Would He say welcome if judgement day came</i>

The authoer wasn't listed. BTW, mistress and I are preaching to ourselves with this poem too.

And now my exciting happenings from yesterday.
Well, yesterday, I finally got to go to the state park. There was a camp fire set up there by two of the rangers for a gathering of some of the people who were in yesterday's birding competition and also people who go to the Nature Center classes. (My mistress was in both.) It was sort of part award ceremony for the winners of the birding competition (mistress and her brother were runner up to the winner) and just for fun. They sang songs, roasted marshmellows, and told community stories. (That's where one person starts the story and after a couple of sentences passes it onto someone else, and so on and so on.) I even got to meet a "Pit Bull". Actually, Shmoo was a Staffoshore Terrier, which looks very close to and is commonly mistaken for a Pit Bull. She was great.  Yes, Staffies <b>are</b> on the so-called dangerous breeds list, but those lists are stupid and incredibly <b>in</b>accurate. Even actual Pit Bulls are great dogs. Anyway, there were some other dogs there, but I didn't get to meet them. *whimper...* Nobody seemed to be afraid of Shmoo - though we didn't see anyone but ourselves pet her, but then again even I didn't get as much petting as usual), which mistress and I thought was wonderful. 
I love the State Park and want to go again sometime!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got out last night while my people were at church. There is this guy that is borrowing our guest room, and he doesn't go to church. He got back to the house while my humans were gone. He's the easiest guy in the world to slip out the front door when he comes in. Last time I got out during church, my waiting for my humans in plain sight kept me from being able to herd the truck to it's little roofy thing. So this time, I hid in the bushes in the front of the driveway, and after they drove past me I started herding the truck to it's roofy thingy. My humans say that I'm a stinker.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The shelter found me wandering the streets. Particularly Bark Drive, Kingsland. My humans had been looking for a Sheltie for months, then they heard about a "Sheltie look-alike" (me!) at the pound. They went in to see me. I wasn't adoptable yet. The shelter though that I was a Spitz mix, because of my tail. My humans didn't want me at first, but they called two days later asking about me. The shelter got mixed up on what dogs my humans were talking about, so they said that I hadn't passed my temperament test and was put to sleep. Hardly! Two weeks later, my humans saw a flyer with my picture in it at the bank. It describes me as "Camden [my old name] is a friendly and well socialized Sheltie mix". My humans called the shelter once they were homeand asked about me. Then they went over to the shelter to adopt me. I didn't think they were going to get me. But then, someone took me out of my kennel. I thought maybe they were going to do something to me, but she handed me to the girl who was interested in me. I was so excited I tugged on my leash ("let's get out of here!"). My new humans brought me to their home. Turns out later that they found out that I had been the "Spitz mix", and the shelter had changed it's mind on what breed I was after giving me a closer look.
When I first came here, the only trick that I knew was "come". Now, I know almost two dozen tricks. I get played with and walked almost every day too! I get fed yummy food every day and sometimes my human will buy new toys just fur me! I am naughty sometimes (like when I run out the front door), but instead of turning my back into the shelter, my mistress tries to figure out what's wrong and then she fixes it.
I'm lucky to have such a good home!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, I'd like to talk about Evolution vs. Creation. You know, I've been persecuted slightly for my strong beliefs in the Bible. Not that much yet, but I'm sure that as I go along that more people will persecute me. I've even been told by one person that they didn't want to associate with me. Which is fine with me; that's their business. Not that I mind, persecution just makes me cling stronger to my Faith in the Bible.
Anyway, the main point.
The Evolution Theory says that this universe was formed by chance. Think about it, how can an entire universe form by <i>chance</i>? If a universe will do that, then maybe a watch can do that. I'll just take the parts used to make a watch, put the contents into a bag, and shake it all around. And viola, I'll have a watch!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOL! You get my point. Some will argue that Evolution didn't happen by chance. That Mother Nature had a hand in it. Ooooh, so then Mother Nature is a god? No, there is no "Mother Nature", it's just nature. And it's not a god, nor does it have human or godly powers. It's a thing. So, with that in mind, then Evolution was by chance. You can't deny it. And if you do deny it, either in your heart you knows that it's wrong but won't admit it or you don't want to believe that there is a God that will punish you one day for your sins.

Second, explosions never have and never will create anything, as it does in the Big Bang theory. You can't deny that. Once I brought that up, and you know what? Everyone just ignored it. Wow, I guess that they couldn't argue with that.
Actually, I believe in the Big Bang. <b>But</b>, my Big Bang is different than an evolutionist's Big Bang. In "my" Big Bang, the "BANG" will be the result of the world being destroyed when God does that to make a new one after the Tribulation.

And, did you know that the "scientist" who came up with Evolution, Charles Darwin, wasn't a scientist? Yep. He wasn't good at math. In fact, he was terrible at it.

Did you know, that according to a survey done in 1990, that 25% of scientists believed in Creation? That number has probably decreased by now, but some scientists still believe in Creation. Just because the majority believes something doesn't make it true.

Also, some will argue that small changes, like a dog sheds more in a hot climate than in a cold climate, is evidence for evolution. Actually, it's not. It's called "variation", and it happens from genes that are already there. If a dog (not one of the non-shedding breeds) lives in a hot climate, it has the genes to make it shed. Evolution states that genes <i>evolved</i>. If genes evolved, then they weren't already there. Evolutionists use variation to try to stump us Creationists up debates all the time.

I'm not puting down people who believe in evolution. I know some wonderful and respectable people who believe in the theory of evolution. I'm tolerant. I won't be upset at you or anyone else for disagreeing with me. I do, however, get upset when people put me down just because I believe in the fact of Creation. Sometimes, though I'm not proud of it, I'll even get spunky in my replies when people do that to me. Though, I shouldn't get upset. God's grace is sufficient for me.
That me and my mistress's thoughts fur today.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was fine this morning, but right now I'm sleepy and I think that I have a tummy ache. Mistress didn't know that and had me doing tricks outside. When she picked me up I threw up on her foot. I keep burping too. Mistress wants to take me to the vet, but her dad won't let us. I ate a chicken bone and some scraps that were intended for Cookie last night. Maybe that's why I don't feel so good.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I've decided that I'm going to have something about God, Evolution vs. Creation, or about getting saved and such.  I'll call these "Sunday Things", <i>My Thoughts for Sunday</i>. So, here's my first <i>My Thoughts for Sunday</i> entry:</b>
I'd like to share a some lyrics from a song by Answers in Genesis.
Here goes:
<i>I don't believe in Evolution, I know Creation's true.
I believe that God above created me and you.
So praise his name for what He made,
Give credit where it's due.
I don't believe in evolution,
I know Creation's true.

Some folks get all excited about a rock they think's from Mars.
They think that rock is telling us there's life among the stars.
They listen deep in out space for a single "Yoohoo!"
But, Jesus Christ is the only Rock that I'm going to listen to.</i>

And a nice little verse from a Hym:
<i>I love to the Story, of unseen things above.
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, for those who never heard
the Message of Salvation from God's own Holy Word.

I love to tell the story,
T'will ne my theme in Glory.
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.</i>

And that was my thought for this Sunday. Tune in next Sunday for another thought.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, we couldn't go to PE because of an issue. But, to make up fur it, mistress's mom took us to the park! Cookie went to the park last time, so it was my turn. Mistress had me do some of my tricks there and I did pretty good. On the way home, we stopped at Wendy's and guess what? They bought me a cup of ice cold water because I was hot! Wow! Then we went home. Mistress's dad wanted mistress's computer moved to a different room. So we had to do that. I'm glad! When it was in mistress's room I couldn't come in because of those dern cats. So, now I can lay next to her or on her lap if I want while she's on the computer! :D Then we had to move tha internet connection wire...I tell ya, it was hectic! Well, it's all moved now, as you can tell. That's all fur tonight.
Signing off...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Fur those of you that think the entire Pit Bull breed is bad. It's not!!!!
People not raising and socializing ANY dog the right way can lead to trouble!
If you don't have your dog meet as many people as possible, then it may be afraid of other dogs. Same thing if you don't have them meet a lot of people. A fearful dog may bite out of fear. That is called fear-aggression.
Yes, little dogs bite people all the time! What really makes me MAD AS A HORNET is when people say that a little dog showing it's teeth and growling is cute. IT ISN'T!!! When a big dog does that, or sometimes even less than that, they call it aggression. NO MATTER WHAT YOU CALL IT OR WHAT BREED DOES IT, it is aggression.
Now, it is true that a little do biting somebody does a lot less damage than when a big dog does it. BUT, a little dog attacking a little kid can do as much, maybe more, damage to the kid than a big dog would do to a man.
So, aggression isn't breed specific. It has to do with how ANY DOG is raised/socialized.
However, sometimes, some so-called breeders breed aggressive dogs on purpose. They breed dogs with bad temperaments and the result is that the puppies are bad-tempered.
"Well" you say, ""I used to know someone with a Pit Bull and that dog was so aggressive."
The owner hadn't raised him right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW, if you disagree with my point (and if you don't know, my point is that Pit Bulls and other "aggressive" breeds are GREAT dogs and that we SHOULD NOT ban them), then I would like you to paw-mail with your arguments, so we can talk it over.
And, if you agree with my aguments, then I give you an invitation. If you haven't already, join us in the group <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/group/Million_dog_march-12701">Million Dog March</a>


(On a side note, would you want someone euthanizing an entire race of humans just because some of that race kill people? Of course not! You'd probably shout "JUST BECAUSE SOME OF MY RACE MURDER PEOPLE AND STEAK THINGS MEAN THAT THE ENTIRE RACE IS LIKE THAT!!!" Well, folks, that's what happening with Pit Bulls and some other breeds when they ban them. Just because man is over the animals, doesn't mean that justice doesn't apply to both of them.)]]></content:encoded>

All that jumping, running, and ball playing looks like SO MUCH FUN! They say that the sign says no dogs in the playing fields...looks like somebody doesn't like dogs!?!!?
Oh well, after PE I get to meet lots of nice people who want to pet me and sometimes I get to play on the playground. That's fun!
Hopefully, mistress will brings some treats tomorrow and I will get to do TRICKS FOR TREATS! That way, I get to show off <b>and</b> I get a delish dog treat!]]></content:encoded>

Anyways, they were just about to go to church when this happened. Mistress was standing next to the care yelling, "Treader! Want to go for a ride!"
<i>Ride? Oh doggie, I LOVE rides!</i>
I turned to look at her.
<i>Oh wait, I know this trick...no thank you!</i> (I'd been foiled with this trick once before. I ended up being brought into the house once I had gotten in to the car.)
She said it again, "Treader! Ride! Treader!"
I ran towards the woods.
<i>Bye-bye!</i>

*Heehee* Another victory fur me!]]></content:encoded>

I didn't find any dog there at all. Mistress's dad was laughing. He said something about how my barking was being recorded on a camera in the kitchen and that he was watching through that camera on his TV and there's a delay. WHAT THE  WOOF does he mean???

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ DADDY'S EMPTY CHAIR

A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her
father.

When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head
propped up on two pillows.

An empty chair sat beside his bed.

The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit.

"I guess you were expecting me, he said.

'No, who are you?" said the father.

The minister told him his name

and then remarked,

"I saw the empty chair

and I figured

you knew I was going to show up,"

"Oh yeah, the chair,"

said the bedridden man.

"Would you mind closing the door?"

Puzzled,

the minister shut the door.

"I have never told anyone this,

not even my daughter,"

said the man.

"But all of my life I have never known how to pray.

A t church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer,

but it went right over my head."

I abandoned any attempt at prayer,"

the old man continued,

"until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,

"Johnny, prayer is just a simple matter

of having a conversation with Jesus

Here is what I suggest."

"Sit down in a chair;

place an empty chair in front of you,

and in faith see Jesus on the chair

It's not spooky because he promised,

'I will be with you always'.

"Then just speak to him in the same way

you're doing with me right now."

"So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it

a couple of hours every day.

I'm careful though

If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair,

she'd either have a nervous breakdown

or send me off to the funny farm."

The minister was deeply moved by the story

and encourag ed the old man to continue on the journey.

Then he prayed with him,

anointed him with oil,

and returned to the church.

Two nights later the daughter called

to tell the minister that her daddy had died that

afternoon.

Did he die in peace?" he asked.

Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock,

he called me over to his bedside,

told me he loved me

and kissed me on the cheek.

When I got back from the store an hour later,

I found him dead.

But there was something strange about his death.

Apparently, just before Daddy died,

he leaned over and rested his head

on the chair beside the bed.

What do you make of that?"

The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said,

"I wish we could all go like that."

Just send this to four people or more,

and do not break this, please.

Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.

I asked God for water,

*

He gave me an ocean.

*

I asked God for a flower,

*

He gave me a garden.

*

I asked God for a friend,

He gave me YOU...

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.



"Sorrow looks back... Worry looks around..... Faith looks up..."]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've thought of more ways to make this operation a success. You guys know how I don't like squeaky toys because of the sound they make? I used to be afraid of them, but not anymore. I just hate the sound they make is all. I wonder, are cats afraid of squeaky toys too? I've been doing some reading up on cats, and some paws-on experiments as well. My research just won't say whether or not cats are afraid of squeaky toys. So, if you're reading this and you know that answer, please tell me whether or not cats are afraid of the sound the squeajers make in squeaky toys. And no paw-mails about this from cats! They might be on the side of the kitties which I am trying to get to move out.
All this time I've been getting outside, my mistress thinks that I want to explore. NOT SO! Okay, that is part of it, but I'm really experimenting on cats.
So send some paw-mail my way if you can help, pawlease!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Some of you have seen the questions in Answers about whether I should leave or not. Well, I've decided not to. Dogster is far too fun and nice a website to leave just because someone called me ignorant. Besides, even if I am ignorant, "ignorance can be fixed, stupid is forever".
Anyway, sometimes someone will attack when you've proved your point and they know it and don't want to believe it. So, I guess I should take it as a compliment, even though the person was being rude and mean.]]></content:encoded>

I hadn't meant to offend anyone, and I shouldn't have gone on about that other issue either. I ruined my whole day when I did that...now I'm having a mostly terrible day. If anyone ever wants to talk to me about those things, you can paw-mail me. I'm much more than willing to talk via paw-mail. You won't be seeing me around behavior & training again.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress has been teaching me to clear hurdles. I'm still a "diamond in the ruff", but I'm learning to do it a lot faster than Cookie did. It took her 3 months to learn. I haven't even been at it but a couple of weeks, and I'm already jumping the hurdle! Of course, mistress has been very slack on training me every day, so it's actually even less time. I already know the "tunnel" command too. It was one of the first things that mistress taught me. On Monday (unless he furgets, which he'd better not), mistress's dad will call the Agility classes lady and ask about prices. If it doesn't cost too much, I be taking classes so that I can be an Agility dog and go to trials once in a while! Maybe even earn ribbons and titles. But the ribbons and titles aren't mine and my mistress's goal. We just want to have fun together. I can hardly wait!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In Answers, we were discussing dogs watching TV. I was too hasty in answering, and since you cannot edit your answers, I can't go back and change it. So, I'll talk about it in my diary.
I like to watch TV. I'm mainly interested in the sounds.Once, on my first day home, I heard a siren on the TV and howled. My howl sounds pitiful not like a wolf's, so I rarely howl. If I hear an interesting sound (like an animal sound or a siren), I stare at the TV and sometimes tilt my head to one side. I can see animals on the TV, because once there was a mountain lion-and-dog fight in a movie and I sat there watching the entire fight. The fight had me on the edge of my paws. Besides that, people and animals on the TV screen don't interest me except when the animals make sounds.]]></content:encoded>

<i>When I see all those bad breeders out there, I long more than ever that some day that I could be a reputable breeder. Or, at least, that I can help educate people about them and help make the dog world a better place.

That's all that keeps me from hitting the roof all day long when I hear about bad breeders. Dear Lord, please come back soon!</i>]]></content:encoded>

Tonight when my humans got back from church, I slipped out the door while they were coming in. (They usually tell me to "wait", but I try to slip out before they have a chance. Sometimes I'm successful. Tonight was one of those times. :D) Mistress called after me, "TREADER - YOU BAD DOG!" She was just blowing off steam though, and she knows it. She knows that I don't care if she said that I might as well fly to the moon and never come back that I would go outside anyway.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks to those who answered my question in Answers. I hope that you don't feel as though I am offending you, but my mistress is VERY familiar with the Sheltie standard (she studies it), and she sees Sheltie in me. She is more than 100% certain that I have some Sheltie in me. She doesn't see any Aussie (I'm too small for that, 13") and I look nothing like a Corgi. I have a tail that curls over my back like a Papillon, and I have Papillon colors (except the colors on my face are Sheltieish). But I look a LOT like a Sheltie. I even act like one.
P.S. Plus, when she looks at pictures of purebred Shelties, it reminds her so MUCH of me somehow.
She was looking at pictures of the older type Shelties, and I do seem to look more like the older type.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The following is sung to the tune of "Do Your Ears Hang Low?":
"Does your tail wag slow? Can you make it stop and go? Can you tie it in a knot, can you tie it in a bow? Can you throw it over your shoulder like a continental soldier? Does your tail wag slow?

Do your ears stand high? Can you make them swat a fly? Can you wave them in the breeze like te leaves across the trees? Can you make them touch your shoulder like a dog biscuit holder? Do your ears stand high?"

You know, I've been studying cats. And the data I've been getting is fascinating! Here's some of what I have learned:
MYTH: Cats are stupid.

Actually, cats are really smart. In fact, studies have shown that they show a demonic'like intelligence.

MYTH: All cats run from dogs.

Most do, but a few will scratch you instead.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I read something just a few minutes ago while browsing the internet. The person who wrote it said that dogs are wild animals and should not be kept as pets because so many of them bite people. Have they closed their eyes to all the good dogs do in this world? I mean, really, where would we be without sled dogs, therapy dog, war dogs, K9 SAR? Without dogs, life would be much harder. True, some dogs do bite, but it is the owner's fault for not raising it better, not the dog's. A dog's benefits far outweigh it's downsides. Some people out there just wanna cause chaos I guess...things like this irk me to no end.
P.S. Oh, and they also said that having a dog isn't worth it. My mistress says sarcastically, "Oh, you're right. I guess it's just not worth it having a dog there to try to cheer me up when I'm down. I guess it's not worth the protection. I guess having something that will love you unconditionally isn't worth it. I guess I'll just ask the vet to euthenize my worthless dogs." The mistress says,  "NOT!!!!!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, the Bible does say, "evil men shall wax worse and worse." Injustice effects dogs too. As big a problem as BSL and puppy mills are, there are much bigger problems than that. Like our American rights and freedoms being taken away - gradually, and one-by-one. That why I <b>HATE</b> mandatory spay and neuter. <b>Your dogs are your property</b>, so why be forced to do something to it!?!!?!?!? They say that you will be able to get a liscence if you don't want to. Whatever. Even then it violates our freedoms (the 4th and 5th amendments to be exact). You're probably wondering how I got into this from talking about the Pit Bull so-called experts - in ENGLAND (the source of the Pit Bulls) of all places! One rant leads to another, I guess. I sincerely hope that you take what I said to heart. THE WAY TO CORRECT BSL IS TO SPREAD THE <B>TRUTH</B> AND TO CORRECT INJUSTICE IN PEOPLE AND ANIMALS!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

I like catching things in the air sometimes and I just wanted to catch this in the air. I caught it in the air 5 times today!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress's dad's aid (or nurse) is afraid of dogs, so Cookie and I had to spend 3 hours in a little room by ourselves! <b>Not fair! Not fair at all!</b> We saw something out that window-like door (AKA sliding glass door) to bark at. So we did. This is what I sounded like, "Arf, arf, hoooooowwwwwwl". I don't usually howl but I felt like doing it today. Cookie sounds like, "Woo, woo, woo...woo, WOOF!" BOL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I got out again. Mistress didn't know it though. So, she was surprised when she saw me sniffing around side of the house through the sliding glass door. The porch is covered and "fenced" in, so she lets me and Cookie out there. Anywoof, she saw me on the other side the "fence" of that porch. She opened the sliding door and called me. And guess where I headed? Toward her voice? No, I can't get to her through the fence. I headed toward the front door! This also <b>proves</b> that I am a little smarter than Cookie! Once, so mistress says, several years ago Cookie had gotten out like I did today. When mistress called her, she headed toward mistress's voice. And, of course, she couldn't jump the fence so she just stood there whining and trying to figure out how to get to mistress. She never even thought of trying the front door! Well, don't get me wrong, Cookie is <b>really</b> smart, just not as much a me. :D Anywoof, mistress had to go to the front door and call Cookie to get her to come in.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A long time ago, there was once a Man - I'll not reveal His name yet - who loved everyone who ever lived on the world. And He wanted to help them. He would even die for them! Now, some people hated this Man. They wanted Him dead! But, this Man had never done anything wrong. These men arrested this Man. They had false witnesses testify against Him. After the "trial", they tortured Him...pulled out His beard, spit on Him, hit Him, whipped Him, and some other terrible things! They were going to hang Him on a cross. Though the Man was in an unbeleivably terrible  condition, they made Him carry the cross they were going to hang Him on all the way up to the top of a hill. Once there, they put Him on the cross and drove nails into His hands and feet. But did He hate them? Did He curse them? No. He just said "Father, forgive them. For they know not what they do." A short while later, He died. The people who hated Him put him in a tomb and made guards watch it, just in case someone who loved Him take Him and claim that He had risen from the dead. 3 days later, He rose from the dead! ("Oh, grave, where is thy victory? Death where is thy sting?" Forgot the reference.) Now, I will reveal this Man's name and why He was willing to die on the cross for the entire world. His Name is Jesus Christ, and he has many others. Including God, Prince of Peace, Lion of the tribe of Judah, Rose of Sharon, and Counselor. As I said, He loved the entire world. Why? Because he created the world and everything in it. Even you and I. But, sin entered the world through Adam and Eve and now we all must suffer for it. You see, all humans inherited a sinful nature from Adam and Eve. Even one sin will get you into Hell! God is love, but God is just. He cannot allow sin into Heaven. How will our humans get to Heaven then, you ask. It's very simple really. Here's what you do: Believe that Jesus died on the cross for you sins, for all of our sins. Ask Him to come into your heart and cleanse you from all unrighteousness [sin]. Tell Him that you believe in Him and that you want Him as your personal Lord and Savior.
Did you do that? If so, congratulations! You are now a child of God! If you have not, then just know that you are on my pawrayer list.
Don't put off this decision! You could die today!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We haven't been having PE lately cuz it's cold outside. We started PE up again today. Today's game was Kickball. I saw all those people running and I wanted to run with them, so I did bark at them. Mistress told them that I was cheering for her team. My humans brought a stake and staked into the ground and attached me to it. People are so weird! Don't they know that instead of walking all over they should be staying together like a flock of sheep?!? So I was trying to correct them. You knowing, running and barking at them like a good herding dog oughtta do. I guess I'll never understand the human kind. *shrugs*]]></content:encoded>

It's been pretty quiet and rainy at my house for the past few days. On Monday mistress and her mom and brother went to see the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie. They say it was one of the best movies they ever saw! Mistress especially likes the part about the walking rocks. I can't wait for it to come on DVD so  can see it too! My humans always get all the Veggie Tales videos (and this is a Veggie Tales movie) so I know that they will get it once they sell it on DVD.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning we went to PE. Sort of....you see, PE was canceled and we didn't check our e-mail last night. Well, my humans had to drop some things off at mistress's grandma's house, so we visited her awhile. I finally got to meet Snoopy! He's a nice dog, but he wants to play SO much...he's a little overwhelming. Not that I don't like to play, but Snoopy's an in-your-face kinda guy. Fun to play with though! Snoopy and I chased each other for awhile. Then Sadie (who had gotten loose and just came back) came. I like ALL girl dogs (even bossy old Cookie), so I stuck with her. Snoopy got jealous. Don't know why. He doesn't want to marry Sadie or anything. Anyways, mistress's grandma shut Snoopy in a room until he calmed down. We had to leave after a few minutes, so my humans had to pay a few bills. Mistress was holding me (on my leash) in the front of the Georgia Power building. Suddenly, we saw a yellow Lab walking down the street. Mistress said "hi" to him and he wagged his tail. Then he came up to us. He had a collar that had his name (his name was Buster), his owner's name (Darrel Charter) and a phone number. Mistress's mom called the number, thinking that Buster was lost. No one was home. Then someone in the building came out and said that Buster's owners let Buster wander around all the time. What the WOOF? Letting your dog wander off leash gives it an oppertunity to cause mischief, get hurt, or get stolen! (Of course, I'm an exception. I can take care of myself. Although, I know my humans don't agree with me on that point.) Buster is SO friendly. Anyone could just take his collar off and take him home and keep him! SOME people! *grrrr*]]></content:encoded>

She searched for "Firefox". That STUPID secret maker website pulled up instead. I guess they are advertising, but if they advertise by intruding on YOUR internet surfing, then that's NOT something we want to support. She typed in "Netscape", then "Mozilla". Same story on both of them. Then, she typed in Netscape Mozilla Firefox, and she found IT! She found a free, quick installing version, and now my forums motto is finally updated!

If this doesn't work,

For those of you not familiar with this term, BSL stands for "breed selective legislature". Now, I know that BSL is only after the so called agressive breeds right now, but it is my strong believe (and I am not alone) that they will eventually out to ALL dogs. I also believe that they want humans and all to do with them gone, which includes domestic animals, because they think that humans are a "virus to the earth". After they get rid of domestic animals, what's left? You got it, humans. The enviromentalists (which I believe are behind BSL) have already divided the United States into sections, most land is for wild animals only, no humans allowed.

When they went after German Shepherds, you did nothing because you do not own a Shepherd.
When they went after Dobermans, you did nothing because you did not love Dobermans.
When they banned Pit Bulls, you did nothing because you own no Pit Bulls.
Who will stand up for you when your breed is next?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The cats are STILL here. *grrr* Maybe I can sneak in there sometime and do something, then sneak back out and let those kitties get blamed fur it! Only trouble is, I haven't been able to get into the room. *arrgh!*
Now mistress has gone and made a page fur them on Catster too. Here it is:
http://www.catster.com/cats/691965                (sorry, I don't know how to do actual links)

I'll stop talking about them fur now so I won't get furstrated even more. I got three new toys, and one of them is on my main pic. 2 of them squeak, but it's the kind I can put up with. Of course, I'd play with those 2 more if they didn't squeak. The other toy is a rope with something that looks like a squeaky attached to it, but it doesn't squeak. My kind of toy! (BOL) Maybe I can get mistress to take the squeajers out of the other 2 toys...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I saw them this morning...two gray cats. One with a tail, one with a bobbed tail. Both cute. Here's my plan:
Plan A. Lure them out of the room. Then chase them far, far away.
Plan B. Chase them in the room, making sure that I can get them to stay in a certain spot for hours and let them know they better leave me alone and be gone.
Plan C. Put up with them until they leave (which they are supposed to in the summer)]]></content:encoded>

If there was, I'd be barking up a storm to get in there and teach those silly kitties a lesson. But, on the other hand...if there are cats in there...ah, forget it there aren't any! Hmmm, well I guess maybe...they don't call me #1 Cat Chaser fur nothin'!

NOTE FROM MISTRESS: There ARE cats in my room. They are a friend's cats. Read the Bridge Kittie's diary to find out more about them.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ NOTE: Now I don't remember this word for word and I'm know I'll mess it up, but just please read it. My humans heard this in church on Sunday.

T'was the Night Before Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a creature was praying,
Not even a mouse.
The Bibles were laid on a shelf without care
The kids were in bed without saying a prayer,
In hopes that Jesus would never come there.
Ma was watching TV
And I was asleep in my chair.
Suddenly, there was a flash
I ran to the window and threw up the sash.
Jesus had come back just as He said!
I saw Jesus in the sky with his Book of Life.
I could not help but cry as he searched for my name...
"It isn't here", he said after looking through his Book.
I hung my head in shame.
Then with a shout and a blow of the Archangel's horn,
The saved left the earth and went back with Jesus to Heaven.
We had missed the 2nd coming of the the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE END


Merry Christmas!
Luke 2:10-12
...for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.
And this shall be a sign unto you, ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.


JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

A SPECIAL MESSAGE JUST FOR YOU: If something ever happens where millions of people disappear, then you can be sure that I went with them. So if a bunch of people suddenly disappear out of their clothes and you don't see me on here except on my page, then you know what happened. You don't want to be left behind, believe me. All you have to do to prevent that is to believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again three days later, believe that He can save you, and ask him to come into your heart and take away your sin so you can be with Him someday. It doesn't matter what words you use to do this, just as long as you mean them.
Have a Merry Christmas!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today my humans went bell ringing for the Salvatiob Army. I couldn't go, because Wal-Mart doesn't allow dogs right in front of the store, but mistress did meet someone who raised Shelties. And another person who had a Collie when she was little. You know what? Today's Christmas Eve!!!! That means that I get to open one of my presents today!!! I can't open my other one until tommorow, and that's the best one though. *pffft* Expect an update here on what I got in the present that I'm going to open later on today!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, the pup that sent the rossette that said that clickers are the source of treats was right! Now, when I hear the clicker I walk forward, expecting treats. Cookie knew it all along and didn't even lift a paw to help me!!! *snort* Mistress was reading a book today...while leaning on Cookie's back. I decided that I might as well get in her lap. Cookie thought that I would try to take her place (as if, with THOSE big teeth), so she growls and groaned at me. She sounds weird when she has just woken up from a nap. *laughing*]]></content:encoded>

Mistress's mom dropped a chocolate chip on the floor, and I gobbled it up before mistress could pick it up. I know chocolate is bad fur dogs, but I just wanted a little taste!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, the day is almost over. I got a record amount of gifts today! Cookie has been on the homepage before (in July her 'Lone Frisbee Catcher' video was honored by being displayed on the home page) and I'm glad that I got my turn! Tinker Cat (my mistress's cat, now at the Bridge) got to be one of the picks of the day once in April...or was it May? Whatever. The point is, every dog has his day, and I had mine today. Mistress put her Webkinz Collie online and named it "Delta". We'll probably put a picture of me with Delta on sometime after Christmas. I'm glad Dogster has these diaries. That way I can look back and see that I was DiaryOD once. Oh, and lately I've been forgetting an important part of my aristocratic title, so here goes...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress got this clicking thing. She was training Cookie with it. If only poor Cookie knew the awfull truth about that clicking thing. *shudder* It's horrible! It all started when...I can't even think about it! Let's just say that the clicking thing is an abuse tool. Something that happened to me once that told me this...NEVER TRUST A CLICKER!!! My mistress is good, but when she tried to use the clicker to train me...I keep thinking that the clicker will control her and make her hit me. I know that she's a good person, but clickers make people do bad things. Can somebody please tell me how to get rid of that thing before I end up in the vet's office? I'm in distress! *whimper*

NOTE FROM MISTRESS:
He seems to have had a bad experience(s) with the clicker sometime in his life. If anyone has any advice on how to make him like the clicker, please contact me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, so it was the 13th instead of the 20th. The Church Christmas party is the one on the 20th. Well, no matter, I bet I was the biggest star there. Too bad they didn't allow dogs in that warehouse where the Talent Show took place. But people were SO impressed with my tricks on the video! And people just the loved the music video, which included pictures of me and Cookie. At first the music video wouldn't play because it was a CD Video instead of a DVD, but the guy working with the DVD player must have figured it out, cuz it played eventually. Mistress says that someone sang Silent Night at the end. There was supposed to be a book exchnage, but mistress got a book she didn't like - a star wars book. Well, she met the person who got the horse book she brought. I almost forgot, mistress met a couple of people who have owned or knows someone who owned Shelties there! She even met someone with a tri-color Collie, and whose mom also had a Collie! What a night!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It wasn't exactly love at first sight. There was this little dog that the pound though was a Spitz mix and it won't stop whining for me to bring it home. I said that I didn't want him. If only I had known what a treasure he would become! I couldn't stop thinking about the little guy all the next day. "What would be so bad about owning a mutt? I would like a purebred Sheltie, but he LOOKS like a Sheltie." Gray Dawntreader came home with us a couple of weeks later. He had some minor issues, pulling on the leash, didn't know basic obedience (except "come"), and was house-trained but needed some "bladder control". Beyond all of that...Gray Dawntreader is my ideal dog, sent to me by the hands of God. Treader learns quickly on most things, and is my dad's dream therapy dog (my dad is be-ridden). My dad says that he has never loved a dog like he loves Treader since he was a kid. Treader is so special to me, I thank God for him.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A walk fur a whole mile, with Angel (you can see her picture on my page)! What could be better? Cookie, mistress, her brother, and her mom, and two of our neighbors (Mrs. Pam and Rachel) also went. Actually Cookie wasn't supposed to go. Mrs. Pam is a little afraid of Cookie. Cookie saw us walking past the house (she was on the close-in porch) and got very upset. She's always ready fur a walk. Well, boy were we surprises to see her running toward us wagging her tail a few minutes later. She had to go with us off leash because of that. It isn't fair! I want to go off leash too! On leash is better than nothing I guess...anyway Cookie is actually pretty trustworthy off leash...as long as some squirrel or cat doesn't run past. Can you believe it? Along the way, we met a Golden who was trying to dig trhought the fence to get to us. Cookie has a quick temper, so she walked stiffly up to the fence with her tail stiff, hackles up, ears straight foward, and ready fur a fight. The dog looked at her, then tried to get out again. Cookie growled. Then the dog stopped trying to get out. Cookie was satisfied and walked away. She walked the whole way with us, all the way back the Mrs. Pam's house. Then mistress began holding her by the collar, because Mrs. Pam has four indoor/outdoor cats. We saw one of the cats on the way back to our house and I went crazy. I always goes crazy around cats. So much FUN to chase! Cookie is that way too, but not quite as much. Anyway, it was a fun day today. We'll be taking these walks often. Next time, we will bring Cookie, but mistress says she will be on a leash this time. Huh.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This December, my mistress's homeschooling group will have Talent Show ans a Christmas Party on the 20th. Here is the exciting part: mistress is entered for three things, and one is Dog Training! She did dog training at the last talent show, but that was with Cookie. This time around, she's going to use ME! The other two things she's entered for is piano playing and a music video she made. Oh, there I go leaving out another exciting part. Cookie and I will be in the music video! Course, they don't allow dogs where the talent show will be, so mistress will have her mom film her commanding me to do the tricks I do best. They were impressed with Cookie, and I obey better than her so they should even more impressed with me! I better quit hogging the computer now and let mistress start on her music video.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mistress just got a special toy Husky which part of a collection of toys called Webkinz. Webkinz are made by the company Ganz. Mistress named her Husky "Gio", in honor of one of my best pup pals, Gio (a Sheltie). Anyway, I think this Webkinz is grrreat, but why won't she let play fetch with him I can't figure out. Oh yes, and my Dogster Twin. Don't remember his name, but I saw him while voting in the World's Coolest Dog an Cat Show. I do remeber that he is either a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd or an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie. He looks so much like me! He has a little more black on his face than I do, and I'm sure he's bigger, but wowey! Dogster Twin, if you're reading this, please paw-mail me about it! Cookie has been as bossy as ever and nothing much is happening around here, except I went to a Veterans Day Celebration yesterday. I ran off TWICE today. First time I slipped under the fence gate (the board under the gate was missing). When mistress brought me back home, she made it clear that I wasn't supposed to go out there, and she put the board back. So, the next time I went out a differnt way. Mistress did the same thing when I did that, so I guess I'm not supposed to get out that way either. I'll keep trying different ways until I find one that she will let me get out of.
~Gray Dawntreader the Nefarious of Lower Hellswicke
P.S. About the Webkinz toy, if anybody reading this has a Webkinz and have an account on webkinz.com, you may be able to become friends with my mistress's Webkinz Husky. Our user name is CookieTN, so just look for a Husky named Gio in the Clubhouse! If you find us, please ask us to be friends. Since you can't really send messages on Webkinz, please tell me about it via paw-mail.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Saturday night, I raided the trash can in the kitchen. Well, who could blame me? There was CHICKEN in there. I almost had it when mistress caught me and said "NO!" really sharply. You know, the way your humans say "no" when your being so-called bad. I threw up on Sunday. My mistress has read that you shouldn't feed a dog for whole day after he throws up; so she skipped my supper. I was as hungry as a horse! Sunday night, when I thought no one would notice, I ambled into the kitchen, jumped on a chair, and ate a plate of food that was still sitting on the table. (I ate the food on the plate, not the plate. Hope I didn't confuse you.) Mistress just happened to hear me get on the chair. She walked to the kitchen, and when I saw her I laid down on the chair and waited for my doom. She didn't say anything. Just picked me up by the scruff of my neck like my dog mama would and brought me to the living room. I got the message. My ears were laid flat against my head for several minutes after that, but no sound did I make. See, I'm a big boy and take my punishment like a full-grown dog ought to.
~Duke Gray Dawntreader the Nefarious of Lower Hellswicke
P.S. My mistress doesn't watch the news since she's a kid, but if there's something about dogs on there she will watch it. The news said that England is making a Walk of Fame for TV dogs. Among the dogs that may make it there is Lassie (of course she'll make it), Rin Tin Tin, Gromit, and Toto. Being Collie and Sheltie fans at this house, we're rooting for Lassie, even though we already know she will be in the Walk of Fame. I'll post an update on that when I hear the winners. If you are a Lassie lover (and we know you are) then visit these sites: lassie.com (also has my favorite dog food of all time, Lassie Natural Way), lassie.net, and search for "Weatherwax Dogs".]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's devious. It's horrible! It's-it's despicable! My beautiful feathering is GONE! (For those of you who don't know what feathering is - it's that long fur on the back of the front legs on Collies and Shelties.) Well, okay only part of it is gone...but that's still HORRIBLE. Who would do this terrible thing to me you ask? My own mistress! She a great person and all, but rediculous sometimes. See, I was out in the back yard and I guess I stepped on something wet. Well when mistress let me in she picked me up and noticed something on my right leg feathering. I guess it something wet and a little nasty. So what does she do? She get thos scissors and cuts most of the feathing on my right leg off! *snort*grrr* She could have done my right leg too-I wish she did-but no-o...she liked my feathering too much to cut clean feathering off. *grrrrl* Oh well...feathering does grow back. Oh, and if you have read even one entry from my journal pleeeeaaaase paw-mail me! I love mail and I get so little of it. So be a pal and paw-mail me please!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey everypup! My humans just got back from the store and they were gone for HOURS! It's okay thought because they were there giving out gospel tracks and candy. With the store's permission of course. They did it there because no trick or treaters come to our house (because the the driveway is scary at night). (Oh yeah, mistress met someone there who had neighbors who had a Sheltie. Those neighbors weren't very good dog owners though. They left the Sheltie behind when they moved.) When they finally got back it was time for turpo-charged playtime! Even Cookie (who doesn't play much anymore) joined in. She refused to play with toys (as usual) though. She says she's grown out of toys, and they aren't part of the game for her anymore. But me? For me toys ARE the game! Cookie just ran around, and invited mistress to chase her and she chased mistress as well. While Cookie was part of the game I spent my time trying to keep out of the way of those reckless GSD paws. Then Cookie calmed down, and I could finally play a super-charged game of Fetch with mistress. She threw my tennis ball in this game. Before Cookie was started running around I had tried to play Fetch using my stuffed beach ball Rollover, but then Cookie had to have a power-surge of running and I was forced to disengage. That's All Folks! (This time I'm signing off using my Peculiar Aristocratic title! I'm also changing my forums motto to that title.)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so glad we have the internet back now! Cookie and me went on a walk the other day. Mistress took some pictures and videos. She even got one of Cookie bullying me. *gasp* How embarassing! I do have to admit that I look really cute on my back though (BOL). Mistress is trying to get me to quit tugging on the leash out there too. It didn't work! (BOL) We ran to the mailbox and back at the end of the walk. Then me and Cookie were really hot so we went back inside. (It's hard to believe it's fall with all this heat.) I got a thorn in my foot just before we got to the door. It wasn't in mypaw-pad persay, but it did poke me a tiny bit when I stood on it. I was a big boy not to cry! Mistress didn't have any idea about it until we got inside. Then she saw me walk, pick up my back leg, sit, and chew at the pad like crazy. She felt around my paw and there was the thorn. (This next part is hard to admit-)I thought the thorn was still there after that! I figured it out after a minute or 2. By the way, if you want to be my pup pal, send me a message, or anything else-then go ahead! I LOVE getting mail, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE making new friends. This is Treader Cheese officially signing off...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today! (written today!)
I hear there's gonna be a couple of cats here soon. I was excited at first, but they are going to stay in mistress' room. That's means I can't go in there for a loooong while! *grrrr* The cats aren't ours. They belong to that guy who's helping us out with getting the web back.
Friday Nite
We went to PE once again this morning. Mistress my tunnel along and I amazed everyone with my "tunnel" trick. People  try to get me to perform for them, but I only listen to mistress! I did do  the tunnel when someone asked me to though, because I like that trick. Cookie's taking her CGC  test tommorow evening. I  wish her luck. I know she's trained pretty well, but mistress is still worried about the isolation thing at the end. Cookie does pretty good when mistress is out of sight at the park, but don't know what she'll do in a new place. Pray for her, please! I would like to take the test too, but mistress says I'm not ready yet. Have to quit pulling on the leash first. *whine* It's too much fun to give up! This afternoon, I finally got to meet Sadie! Mitsress' grandma came over and Sadie came with her. Sadie is a little nicer than Cookie, but when I bumped into her by accident I found out that she can be just as much of a grouch as Cookie! I guess no offense was ment; I'm told that she grouches Snoopy too! *heehee* Now to meet Snoopy!
Thursday
Hey, dogsters. We got more ants. This time, we got another ant-farm from Wal-Mart, and connected it to  our other one with clear tubes. For a while there, the ants put a "road" of sand in the bottom of the tube so they wouldn't slip, but they quit using the bottom tube altogether. Oh by the way, only two tadpoles out of eight hatched. One of them died. The one left is doing just great though. He was see-through at first, but now he's darkening up and getting less and less see-through every day. It's some sort of African frog, so we can't let him grow even when he does turn into a frog because the environment here would kill him. We either keep him till he dies or give him to a school or something. One last thing here: Live in St. Marys, Georgia? Well, then come join us at St. Marys Mutts and Kitties, my new Dogster group. Love Collies and Shelties? Come join my other two groups, "Borders, GSDs, Collies, and Shelties" and "!!!Shelties and Collies a Grrreat!!!".
My Native Land
(written on Wednesday, 17th)
by Sir Walter Scott
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own-my native land?
Whose hear hath ne'er withing him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breath, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,-
Despite these titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, cocentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down,
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
Exciting News!
(Written on Tuesday, 16th)
We'll be able to get the internet back very soon! Right now, we still have to go to the library to go on the web, but someone is helping us afford it in our own home again. I can't give any details, as this is private business, but it will be much easier after it's all done. No more only checking pup pal requests once or twice a week. No more having to worry that someone sent you an invitation to join their group and you can't sign it! Now, we'll be able to respond to any and all requests and fan mail quickly and easily!!! Oh, and Cookie's taking her CGC test this Saturday. I can't take mine until I quit jumping on people and pulling on the leash.
(Written on Sunday (Oct. 14th)
Why Can't a Hamsome Pup Like Me Go to Church!?!
This morning I rushed out the door as mistress' mom was putting things in the truck. They had to go to Church, but they saw me on the way there so they picked me up. They found me so close to home that they decided to take me back there. Aw, I wanted to see what Church was like. As mistress set me back inside, Cookie was at the door. I tried to kid her and make her think I got to go to Church, but she knows the routine too well. Said we weren't gone long enough for that to have happened. Oh well... When the people finally did get back, I got an extreme case of the zoomies. Running wildly back and forth, going crazy over my ball when mistress threw it, the usual. I also got a big jumping up on everybody problem. Mistress is trying to get me to stop. While everyone I've jumped on so far don't mind, some people I meet later will, she says. My opion is that all peoples love to be jumped on by a charming, adorable little dog like me. They think it's a huge compliment. Not really. I love everybody. I want to find out what Church is like! Back to old drawing board...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The "mutlipost" that I did on my last entry is a good idea I think. So I did did it again. Only this time, I only have two.
Park Day...FUN, FUN, FUN!
Went to the park again Friday. You won't believe it! Cookie KNEW she couldn't go, and took it all out on me! The old GROUCH! Well, I got to go anyway. This time we completely missed PE because we were really late. All the more fun for me! I didn't have to sit around while mistress got plenty of excercise. Anyway, I gave everyone a good workout. When it was cookie time, I snatched part of mistress' cookie when she had to turn her head because one of her friends was talking to her. Hey, I wasn't being bad. She wasn't holding it close to me, but when she looked away her hand (with the cookie in it) went closer to my face. What else could that mean if it wasn't ment for me? I had to do lots of tricks this time 'round. People saw mistress goin' over a few tricks with me and wanted me to perform for them. Let's just say I kinda did, but I always save my best for mistress. Oh, and you know I can balance like a cat? Even land square on my paws when I fall. While mistress' mom was driving I got up onto the top of her seat without even falling. I placed my paws on her shoulder, but it hurt her, so I had to get down. Mistress is listeing to a CD while I am typing this. Veggie Tales Worship Songs. Pretty good. (We're Veggie Tales' #1 fans here! *hee-hee*) Oh, and be sure to look at my profile as I updated it.
(Written on Monday)
Oh boy! Presents!
On Saturday last week, mistress and her mom went to the library to go on the interent. Mitsress' mom also ended up going to 2 grocerie stores (Wal-Mart & Harvey's), and spending 2 hours getting the truck's oil changed at Wal-Mart Lube Express (right next to the store). They came back with some presents for me (some were for Cookie too). My favorite was my new toy: a squisky stuffed ball that squeaks, I loved it... until it squeaked at me. I named this toy Rollover (hey tha'ts what balls do!). She also got me a beautiful new food dish (w/ paw prints all over it); it's actually a cat dish, but I'm so small and there was no dog dishes small enough for me. I only require half a packet of Moist'N'Meaty with some Lassie Natural Way dried food. (Cookie requires a whole bowl of Natural Way with a whole packet of Moist'N'Meaty.) I get full fast, so I usually only end up eating half of my supper. Those dog bowls that were too big could hold 3x as much food as I eat in a night! Mistress also got a new Combo brush. She'll need it for Cookie's CGC test because the last one got lost somehow. WHOOP-EEEEE! Now I won't always have to be brushed with the Greyhound comb or Slicker brush! The last thing (for Cookie and me) was Scooby Snacks (from Snausages). Mistress' mom usualy gets some chicken flavored strips. Mistress talked her into getting some the Scooby Snacks instead this time. The only problem is they are very crunching, and take a long time for me to finish. So they will just be a little snack, not training treats. Well, gotta go take my monthly heart-worm treat (YEAH!) and flea meds (BOOOOOOOOOOOO!)!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ These are all my week's entrys packed into one exciting entry! The lone sentence written under the day it was written is the title of that particular entry. 
(Written on October 5th (a Friday))
The Verdict:
I can't go to grandma's house. Well, at least I'll get to see some more pictures and videos of Snoopy and Sadie when mistress gets back home tommorow. Tommorow morning wer'e going on Dogster again, so maybe Snoopy or Sadie will put something in their diaries about mistress and her brother's visit. Mistress is going to let Snoopy play with Rover, my sutffed Dalmatian. But she'll have to keep a close eye on him while he playing with it. If he gets a chance he'll walk off into one of his hiding places and tear it up. Rover doesn't look much like a stuffie no more anyway. I tore several holes and knocked the stuffings out of him (BarkOL)! Well, see you Dogsters tommorow morning.
(Written October 4th (a Thursday))
Why Can't I Go?!?
Today was okay. I got played with, petted, and rested. As usual. Cookie actually played with a toy today! But it only lasted for 5 minutes. I've tried over and over to convince her that playing with toys is the greatest fun in all thwe orld, but she doesn't believe me. When I tried to jump onto mistress' dad's bed I didn't get quite far enough, and found my self hanging onto one of the bars on the side with my front paws. Mistress picked me up and set me on the bed. Mistress is going to the fire station instead of P.E. tommorow, so I can't go to that wonderful park. Then it's off to her friend Rachel's house for a tea party (maybe I can go to that). Then it's back home to do shcool. (Mistress is homeschooled.) And after school mistress and her brother are going to Grandma's house for the night. I don't think I get to go. That's a shame because Snoopy and Sadie live there and I haven't met them face to face yet. I would especially like to meet Snoopy. He's cool. He switches "z's" for "s's", so he says "what'z up" instead of "what's up". I'll see about asking if I can go. Mistress is going to take pictures too, and wouldn't it be a great picture of me, Snoopy, and Sadie? Oh well. That's all fur today.
(Written October 3rd (a Wednesday))
Someone Let Me Explore!
Today Mistress and her brother were gone for about 2 hours. She was the Nature Center (@ Crooked River State Park) disecting owl pellets. They came back each with a bag of teeny-tiny bones. I got to exploe some this morning. The nice aid that takes care of mistress' dad came, and guess what? Mistress told me to stay of course and I would have, but the aid just held the door open it open and didn't close it. What else could it be but an invitation for me to explore the street? I walked up to her, looked up at her to say thank you, and ran off to my own adventures. Of course, everyone tried to call me back. They just didn't understand. While mistress was gone (the neighbor brought her and her brother to where they were going) her mom got out into the truck to get me and bring me home. That's okay, 'cause by the time she found me I'd had enough adventure anyway. I'd recognise that truck anywhere. I even ran up to her truck (when I was good 'n' ready), and she brought me home. Oh, and I got one over on Cookie today. If you've read my past few entries then you know mistress gave me some little shirts. I didn't like it, but just to be polite I didn't take my shirt off till she wasn't around. This morning Cookie had to wear a T-shirt! Hahaha! It (hahaha) was a faded Snoopy shirt that said (hahaha) "I feel Loved!" (hahaha). I can't help laughing; it's dog-goned rediculous! Well that's all fur now. Time for my afternoon nap.
P.S. I guess I better be careful and not go outside by myself. Mistress' mom says that since it's close to Halloween someone might steal me and sacrifice me to the devil. *gasp!* I hate Halloween. It's the devil's holiday, and we are Christians at this house. Can't wait till Thanksgiving.
(Written October 2nd (a Tuesday)).
No Snuggles?
All day I've been whining occasionally. Can't anybody around here take a hint? There is a TORNADO several miles from here! The humans think I'm having a bad day or want more attention or something. Cookie is always afraid of storms, so she's help. I'm NOT scared of no thunderstorm (just come to my house during one and I'm as calm as ever). I'm scared of the possibleility of tornados that we happen to have today! I tried to play tug of war with mistress, but Cookie thought I wasn't following the rules and that I was biting mistress (which I was NOT). So what does she do? She leaps over me, and growls bloodly murder *grrrrrrrrrr right back you over-bossy brute* (I'm feisty). At first I thought she didn't want me to play with my squeaky soccer bone. So I quit playing with it and played with my ball instead.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mistress gave me 2 shirts. Personally, I like wearing just my fur better, but shirts aren't too bad. Oh, mistress won an Easter drawing contest last year. As a prize, she got stuff to draw and paint with, Marshmellow Peeps, and stuffed toy marshmellow peeps shaped like bunnies. She doesn't know any purpose better than letting a dog play with them, so she given them to Cookie. But Cookie isn't interested in toys much anymore, and hasn't been for 2 years. So now that I'm here she gave them to me. I like them. She is still going to get me a stuffed something (with stuffing, not pellets) from the Salvation Army.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, fur real. Well okay maybe it's not anything big, but I just got my Trick Novice. Mistress and her friend friend Rachel started an "organization" that gives dogs in St. Marys GA titles for learning a certain number of tricks. It's not an official organization, but hopefully some others dogs besides me & Cookie will be involved and earn a title too. Oh yeah, the organization's called Trick Dog Association of St. Marys (TDASM). Titles you can earn include: Trick Novice (TN), Trick Advanced (TA), Trick Excellent (TX), and Trick Dog Champion (TDCH). Who knows, maybe someday it will be official and sponsored by the AKC. I'm also doing "homemade" Freestyle now. Anybody know how to earn titles in Freestyle? I'm still interested in Fly Ball, but for now we don't have the time needed to train for it. Maybe in a few months we will see about Fly Ball again. Back to Freestyle. I'm not very good yet, and I need a treat right to perform well right now. I will eventually get to where I am great without a treat. If mistress can teach me Freestyle at home, and there are some Freestyle tournaments close by then I will try to earn titles for Freestyle too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Remember Blink, my stuffed alien? Mistress threw him away because I put a huge hole in him (while playing tug o' war), and he had plastic pelets inside him. She thought I would swallow them. Ha! Well, Blink is gone, and I miss him. Mistress asked her mom if she could buy me another stuffie next time she heads out to the Salvation Army. Her mom said yes. Who knows, maybe this new thing will take Blink's place in my heart, but probably not. I miss you deeply Blink!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (Written on Saturday (September 22nd) and transfurred to Dogster on Monday (September 24th).)
The pound, of all the nice animal places around town. Cookie says dogs are better off at the pound than on the street. I guess she's right, but homes are much nicer places for dogs than at the pound. Yes, I know pounds are merciful. But I don't want to go back there, and I DEFINITELY don't want the humans running around there. At least I'm too well-behaved to go back. One thing I liked about mistress going to the pound. She met a person who has a Collie mix and a Sheltie mix, and you know where I stand on that. Anybody with a Collie or Sheltie has to be at least ahlf-way decent. Well, at least some nice things happened today. Those tadpoles came in. Mistress' brother named the two that hatched so far "Tommytad" and "Pollywog". Well I'M naming the rest. "Croaker", "Hopper", and "Longjump", maybe. I'll think of some others later. Mistress says the remote for the DVD player finally came in. Her brother ruined the old one with a glass of water, and didn't tell anyone about it. So when mistress used it, it shorted out. The humans had to call the company that made it, and now that it came in no more NOT being able to view DVD bonus features. Guess what today was. Yep, nail trim and paw trim day. I didn't used to mind nail trimming, but mistress accidentally cut into the quick. I know she didn't do it on purpose, but I'm NOT going to risk it again...at least not without a struggle worth quitting for. Paw trimming's okay...that is as long as she just trims the fur on TOP of my paws. When she gets to the fur on the bottom I think she is trying to do my nails again. I can't help it. It makes me REALLY nervous. Oh, and Yesterday, it was park day again. Yippee!! The kids were all over me, and I got remarks like "Oh, he's so cute", "Can I walk him?", and "You should name him fluffy". Okay, the last one isn't that great, but the first two are furfect. Some people thought my name was "Trevor", since that is very close to "Treader". I got tired out by the time we got home, so I had myself a looong nap. Now let's see, what else should I type down? Guess that's all fur now. Oh yeah, one more thing: Please send me a paw-mail. Okay, NOW that's all. This is the world's cutest thing on four legs signing off...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This may sound a little weird, but have you ever been scared of that thing that sucks things up and makes a deafening noise? People call it a "vaccumm cleaner". It is very terrifying...WAS very terrifying actually. Cookie and I are cured of it now. Mistress's mom wanted mistress to vaccumm her room. Well, you know mistress, she loves teaching dogs lessons. Since Cookie and me were scared of the vaccumm cleaner, she was thinking of a way of fixing it. She tried having the vaccumm turned on but not using it while giving us treats. Then before she got up to finish vaccumming, she took two treats and broke them up into tiny peices. She scattered them onto the floor. She vaccummed VERY close to the treats, but was careful not to vaccumm them. The treats were too much of a lure for me and Cookie. We stood right next to the vaccumm WHILE it was running, and gobbled up the treats. You know what? Now we aren't afraid anymore! I still wouldn't want to stand right next to the vaccumm because it's so loud, but at least we now know that the vaccumm is nothin' to be afraid of.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep. I guard her during her sleep. If ANYONE even tries to wake her up, they get a good barking/growling and get herded away--by me. I do this because I am SO grateful of being "rescued" from the pound. The funny thing is, even when I herd them away, she still wakes up. I guess I need to do a better job of guarding her. I wonder if she ever herd me trying to guard her? Nah, couldn't be that.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There is this real yummy treat mistress gives me only once a month. I would sure like some more than that. It must be a reward for being a good doggie for a whole month. Therefor, it would only make sense to eat one once a month. Yeah, that must be it. Anyway mistress calls them "Heartworm Medicine". Hmmm, a yucky name for such a tastey treat. Maybe I could talk mistress into giving it to me for being good for a WEEK or something. If she does, I'll post an update!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (Written on August 30th)
A few entries ago, I said I was going to the water park. I could if it wasn't for one crazy thing...why does the 9th have to be on a Sunday? Can't go on a Sunday; it's the day my humans go to Church. I was looking foward to it too. Couldn't that silly old park choose Saturday as the last day? Hmmm...maybe it IS open for dogs on that day too. I'll have to ask my humans to check...
P.S. You're probable wondering if I'm a water Sheltie. (After all, Shelties are supposed to hate water so much that they try to get the humans out.) I'm not sure yet. I'll give it a try. If I like it, I'll dive right in with everybody. If not, THEN I'll bark everyone out.
------------------------------------------------------
September 10 update: I didn't get to go. That water park! Aaaaarrrrrg! I thought things were supposed to be closed on Sundays. Now they've gone and messed up my whole...er...hopes. *whine*grrrrr*
NOTE: You dogs probable wonder why most of my (and Cookie's) entries say "written on 'blahblahblah' and Transferred to Dogster on 'blahblahblah'". See, we couldn't afford to keep the internet, so mistress's dad got rid of it. At least for a while. So, Cookie and I write our journals ahead of time, and mistress posts them for us. You're probable wondering now how the bark we answer paw-mails and join groups. Well...this is TOP SECRET information, so don't blab it around to the humans. Cookie and I get FREE internet service from TDS just for being dogs. We use the computer when the humans are asleep or gone somewhere. The only way TDS will let us keep getting free web is if we never ever tell our humans. So, if you tell your humans, then we won't be able to do much on Dogster any more. THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER! We just do the "journal at the library" thing to throw the humans off track. No fear of them reading it, because even if they do, they think we're just kidding. We'll get the human's web back in a few months, then we can quit this secret stuff. *wink* Oh, and if you happen to read my journal...please send a paw-mail and let me know how you like it. I'll give you some virtual bones if you do...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (Written on September 7th (Friday), and transferred to Dogster on September 10th (Monday))
Today, we went to Howard People's Park for mistress's PE again. Today's sport was Tennis. Got a little upset when I saw all those Tennis balls and couldn't chase even one, but I behaved like a little doggie gentleman...except for pulling on the leash. I didn't growl, didn't bark, and didn't snap. Actually I never do those things. Well, okay I bark (but not much) and I growl, but for fun, not for "back off" purposes...and not at little kids either. Only when I'm playing. Yes sir, other than pulling on the leash, I was a real Canine Good Citizen today! I did pee, but only on 2 trees...and I ONLY mark if another dog left a message worth answering there. Nobodie's ever scolded me for marking, so it must be okay. And, since I'm neutered, I don't do it much. Well, anyway, after PE mistress took me for a walk on the playground. But then she was talking to some else about me and Cookie and some cat...Tinker Bell was her name. It seems mistress used to have a cat and it died a year ago. Why, mistress, I never would thought it of you! Mistress is great for a person who's been corrupted by a cat though. Soon it was time to go home, and we left. With 1 stop. No wait, 2 stops. The Library (for a book), and the Dollar Store. So that's where my humans get their money from! I never knew you could buy dollars. Must be a great bargain. But if someone's selling all those dollars, why don't they use them instead of selling them? After all, to make it worth it to buy some dollars you have to buy more dollars than you spend buying them, right? The owner of the dollar store must be pretty ingorant. Or maybe he's rich. If my people went there more often they could afford to buy a chicken burito all for me! *hint*hint*hint*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (Written on September 6 (Thursday), transferred to Dogster on September 10th (Monday))
I'll get to the poem right after I tell you how my day was today. It started out pretty bad, I had an "accident" even though I'm housetrained. It wasn't my fault though, 'cause it was diarghea. No one got mad at me, but I just don't like having to do that. Later, me and my big "sister" (Cookie) got to have a walk outside. Oh yeah, mistress also taught me a new trick. It's called "Tunnel", and it means I have to walk through some little tube-ish thing. It smells like cat inside. I don't mind going through it, except it's a little stuffy in there...and there's two balls hanging off the side that smell like cat nip. It was made for cats, but it does look like an Agility tunnel. Mistress figured since it's too small for her to teach Cookie with it that she'd teach me. I learned the basics of it after a few mintues. At first, she blocked other "short cuts" so I couldn't go around it or over it. Then, she gradually took each "shortcut block" away, saying "no" every time I tried going that way instead. After a while, everything "shortcot blocker" was gone, and I could run right through it. Then we were through with tunnels for the day.
Tonight, mistress got out the scissors. My nails were just trimmed on Sunady, so no fear of that until the middle of this month. The first time my nails were trimmed, I put up with it without any fuss. The second time was different. Mistress thought maybe it was because she accidentaly cut into the quick once. (That wasn't the reason, by the way. The reason is because I had a nightmare the night before where a monster used his his big claws to trim my nails. I guess he loved trimming my nails, so he then trimmed my paws off. I panicked. No more running around? OH, NO! Tell me when it's over...never mind, it was just a dream. I'm awake now.) Well, anyway, just tonight, just a few minutes ago in fact, she trimmed some of the fur off my paws. She's done it before and all, but I was still thinking about that bad dream I had. Well, it didn't hurt or anything, so I calmed down. Even more later on (tonight), mistress decided to show her dad all the neat tricks I could do (sit, laydown, shake, high5, up, down, and come-on (I put my paws up on her tummy and stretch. Which I LOVE to do, but am only alwayed to do it on command.) Then, she had to do some things for her dad (who's bed-ridden). So, she said "up", and I jump onto a chair. Then she said "sit", and I sat. Then she said "stay". She started to walk away. Hey, where was she goin' without me? I followed her. She tried to get me back on the chair, but her dad got mad. So she did something for him, and came back. Now she had something esle to do for him. This time, she got her little brother to help. She did the "up" thing, the "sit" thing, and the "stay" again. I followed her this time too. Except, Charles picked me up, put me back, and said "no" several times. It finally hit me! (Ouch!, JK) I was supposed to stay there, and wait. So I did, and did not try to get down until I was told. Wow, mistress was surprised (and proud)! It took Cookie 5 or 6 times before she got the "stay" thing down pat. I bet I'd make a great Obedience dog!  Phew! That was a lot of typing!Okay, here's the poem:
THE POWER OF THE DOG
There is sorrow enough in the natural way 
From men and women to fill our day; 
And when we are certain of sorrow in store, 
Why do we always arrange for more? 
Brother and Sisters, I bid you beware 
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. 
Buy a pup and your money will buy 
Love unflinching that cannot lie -- 
Perfect passion and worship fed 
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. 
Nevertheless it is hardly fair 
To risk your heart for a dog to tear. 
When the fourteen years which Nature permits 
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, 
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs 
To lethal chambers or loaded guns, 
Then you will find -- it's your own affair -- 
But . . . you've given your heart to a dog to tear. 
When the body that lived at your single will, 
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!); 
When the spirit that answered your every mood 
Is gone -- wherever it goes -- for good, 
You will discover how much you care, 
And will give your heart to a dog to tear. 
We've sorrow enough in a natural way, 
When it come to burying Christian clay. 
Our loves are not given, but only lent, 
At compound interest of cent per cent. 
Though it is not always the case, I believe, 
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve: 
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong, 
A short-time loan is as bad as a long -- 
So why in Heaven (before we are there) 
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mistress and almost everyone else who live here were gone from 12:15 to 6:00 today! They say they went to a "pool party". Sounds fun, but if it doesn't have me in it, it isn't worth telling about. I think they went to to St. Marys Aquatic Center. I've got some really exciting news! On the last day that St. Marys Aquatic Center is open (which is September 9th) they allow dogs to come! My humans say if they go (which they probably will), they'll bring me with them! That will be something worth talking about. Of course, it's a month from now. Look out St. Marys Aquatic Center, I'm coming!!!
NOTE: The entry below was written on August 8th (a Wednesday). It was transferred to Dogster on August 13th (a Monday).
Today, mistress and her mom were gone for the longest time! I did miss them, but it was worth it 'cause mistress brought me a brand-new toy. It's kinda funny. It feels and smells like a Tennis ball, but is shaped different. Since I name all of my toys, I named it "Tennis". Mistress says it's a "special playtime dumbell". I tell ya, it was definitely made with dogs in mind; I haven't been able to chew it up even a little yet, even with the most patient chewing. I do know one thing though...I love it! In fact, I think I like it better than my favorite toy, a stuffed alien I call Blink. Mistress and I LOVE to play fetch. I need a rest after a while, but I like to play two or three or more times a day. From what you've read so far, you'd think today was the best day of my life. Well, it is and it isn't. See, after a little while, everyone had to go to Church. That's means it's Crate Time. Mistress put my new toy in there to cheer me up, but there's not much room to play in a cage. That's why I never play in one. When they finally got back from Church, mistress let me and Cookie out. It just so happens that in addition to buying me a new toy, they also bought a nail-clipper and some treats. Have you guessed yet? Yep, me and Cookie had ourselves a nail-trim. Cookie said she likes it better when mistress does her nails than those people at Adorable Pets. There, so says Cookie, they put a muzzle on her even though she's never bitten anyone. I had my nails clipped before, at the pound. Mistress is going to start clipping ours nails once a week. So, you see, it was a so-so day. 
P.S. I know, I have a lot of of "p.s.'s", but I don't remeber everything all at one time. Mistress also bought herself a Dog Breed mouspad. It has all kinds of breeds on it, if only one of her four favorites (Border Collies, German Shepherds, Collies, and Shelties). The Border Collie was the one on this pad. Some other breeds inlcude the Dalmatian, Lab, Irish Setter, Bermese Mountain Dog, Dauchshund, and Chiuauah.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Persevernce, a recently departed boy Collie is not really my Pup Pal, but I want him to be. He is in my Corral though. I never met Persy, but I sure wish I could have. He has such an inspiring story. To read it (and learn exeactly how he died), go to mwcr.com. Someone even wrote a newspaper article about him after he passed away! Very admirable dog! To you I say: "Read Persy's life story; it will break and touch your heart." To Persy, I say: "Persy, I never met you, but you inpsired me. When I see you at the Bridge, tell me more about your life, please. You inspired many people and dogs, inlcuding me."]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good greif! At this house my humans must have somewhere 'round 50 pets! Besides us dogs, there's also mistresss's brother's snails, who are called Slowpoke and Fastpoke. And the newest arrivals, the ants! There's way too many to name, so we gave them all the same name: Worker. Good name for ants, don't you think? They're just about always working. And I hear that soon there's gonna be some tadpoles, who, of course, won't be around as long as the ants or snails. Don't know what we're goin' to call the tadpoles, but I have some ideas. How about Hopper, Croaker, and Lillypad?
I guess we'll think more about that when they get here. Almost everyone watches Workers (that's what we say when we're talking about all those ants). Wow, we're pet-crazy over here! Have a day full of pets! ~Gray Dawntreader
P.S. Always wanted to use the "~" simbal, you know!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've got two things to tell all you dogs today. First, I want to tell you about my unplanned tour of my neighborhood. Mistress was doing chores outside, and when she came back in, I slipped out. (It was raining, by the way.) Really, I thought it was okay to do that, but she tried to call me back. Cookie followed me out. She said she "wanted to make sure I didn't get lost because I couldn't followed my scent in the rain." I guess she does know the neighborhood better than I do. Anyway, we went to a different street. We had a fun time metting people and just exploring. Most people don't think of a German Shepherd like Cookie as friendly, but that's sure what Cookie is. (Cookie is even bigger than a male GSD, you know.)She walked right up to this guy and wagged her tail in a friendly way. She didn't followed EVERYWHERE, but she made sure I wasn't out of eye-shot. Then mistress's mom came to bring me back home. I figured I'd better do what she wanted. Anyway, if there's anything I like better than exploring off-leash, it's exploring on-leash. She put my leash on, and we headed for home. I heard mistress say she forgot to tell me to stay. I would have stayed if she had told to, you better believe it. Well, what awaited at home was getting dried off with a towel, and getting my fur brushed back to it's normal texture. (I look a "spiky guy" with my fur all wet!) Cookie got the same fate. She tried to roll around on the carpet because she just hates being wet. I don't think she would have gone out there if she wasn't worried about me. When our fates were done...you know, what I'm about to tell you won't  make any sense unless I start from the beginning. 
 
See, the day my humans first got me, they also got some caterpillars in the mail they had ordered. They were supposed to let them go when they tunred into Painted Lady Butterflies. Anyhow, just a few days ago, they all hatched out of their chrisalids, but not all at one time. One day two came, the next day one, the next day one, and the next day one (they were 5). (You know, usually only 3 out of 5 hatch, but with us, all 5 hatched!) Now that they were all hatched, they decided to let them go free. This happened just today, the same day I went on and came back from my adventure. Anyway, they already had plenty of pictures of them, but they took a video of them leaving. They were beautiful things. Phew! I'm tired from all this typing. I going to take my nap early. Bye!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Typed on July 28th, Saturday. Transferred to Dogster on July 30th, Monday)

Today I went to the park. So much fun! (I don't pull on the leash as bad now, thanks to patient training, courtesy of my mistress.) Lots of smells, dogs, and things to explore. I got to run, leave my mark on a few things, and meet a Yorkie (all on leash, of course). Mistress did kinda turn it into a little bit of a training sesson by telling me to "sit" and "stay" several times. I did pretty good too! By the way, I now know "come", "laydown", "sit", "stay", "up" (jump up on something), and "down" (get off). Hmmm...that's six tricks...and I've only been living for almost two weeks! I'm pretty smart, eh? Once I get the basics down, mistress will teach me fun tricks,like the ones Cookie knows. Cookie gets a little ticked off at me because I aggrivate her (without usually meaning to), but she's nice besides that. I will say one more thing before going. Some people say that Shelties almost seem to teach themselves some tricks. Well, I guess I'm like a purebred Sheltie in that way! Mistress had to do almost nothin', zilch, nodda to teach me to "stay" and "up" and "down". (And I did NOT know these tricks whe she first got me, honest.)
P.S. I have replaced Cookie as mistress's dad's therapy dog. Not that Cookie didn't do a good job. She just wasn't interested in him like I am.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (Written on Friday, July the 19th, and tranferred to Dogster on July the 23rd.)
This is Friday, my 4th day of living on Palmetto Street. I like it here. This morning, my humans took me to the vets. At first, I thought they were taking me back to the pound, so I whined. Then I noticed we weren't going exactly the way we came, so I quit. When we got to the vet's place, I thought it might be a different pound because it sure smelled like one, so I whined some more. But when the vet said she would see me, and all she did was give me one shot that protects me from rabies for 3 years! She didn't need to do anything else because the people at the pound already examined me (my people brought my papers from the pound), I guess. I even got an ID tag! It's red and shaped like a fire hydrant, with my name and phone number. I got a rabies tag too. (Cookie had also gotten her ID tag from the vet. It was shaped like a purple bone. My humans didn't want us both to have the same shape. We DO have rabies tags that look the same though. They look like green bells.) On the way home, we stopped at Chick-Fil-A for breakfast. My humans got most of the food, but I did get two peices of chicken. Yum! I gotts go, but before I do, I would like to share a peom with you:
The Perfect Sheltie
There's no such thing as the perfect dog
People will say to you
And when it comes to Shelties -
Boy, is that ever true! 

Some are too big and some too small
Some hardly have any hair at all
Some are too bold and some too shy
Some have a short tail or a big round eye 

Crooked legs and splayed out toes
Prick ears and hound ears and odd coloured nose -
The perfect Sheltie just can't be made
But here's one thing that's really great: 

To be perfect in their owners' eyes
Shelties only need one part
And every Sheltie I ever met
Had that loving Sheltie heart.
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
Hope your day is as much of a tail wagger as mine was (after the vet, that is).]]></content:encoded>
