		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've kept my word that I won't run off if mom & dad let me out of the fence to play too. We had a lot of fun today. We got to swim in the pond. I usually don't get in the pond because I am a little scared. But, I love mud puddles. Today I decided to see what the big pond was like. I got muddy... that's my favorite part. We all got baths when we got home. Now, we smell pretty again. 

Koda & Fox didn't seem scared at all. I might try to go a little farther next time, but I'm not too sure about that yet.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ All of us were allowed out of the pen today & we stayed in our own yard! Mom & dad said they were so proud of us. I'm gonna try really hard to stay close so they will let me out with them more often. I didn't like it when I had to stay in the pen. 

Ginger & I got our hair cut Monday & I am just too darn sexy. We needed a hair cut before then, but mom & dad couldn't afford it. I have been scratching on my neck & made a sore spot so my mom put some medicine on it. I didn't like it when she touched it but it does feel better now. 

Until next time.... Lucy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Koda got caught. He was stealing food off the counter. I told him he shouldn't do it, but he wouldn't listen to  me. I don't get in trouble too much because I know what we are not allowed to do & I always try to follow the rules. Well, most of the time. I do like to run off & meet new people when I get a chance to get outside the fenced yard. 

I'm kind of excited about getting my hair cut Monday. We are going to a new groomer. Gizmo's haircut looked pretty good, so I think she will do a good job on mine too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I still haven't had a chance to prove that I will stay in the yard. My mom says maybe this weekend she will give me a chance. I'm crossing my paws that she will. 

Someone is going to get caught stealing food when mom & dad leave because they are going to set up a camera to catch one of us in action! It's not too hard to figure out. It didn't start until Koda & Fox came. Besides, some of us aren't tall enough to reach the counter to get bread or anything else that is on the counter. 

Gizmo got his hair cut yesterday. Ginger & I are going to get ours cut Monday. Gizmo got to ride on the motorcycle to the groomer. I hope we get to ride too. Mom can't hold us, so we have to ride in the big pet taxi that dad hooks on the motorcycle trailer. it's still fun though. We might get to add our pictures with our new hair cuts next week.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am just a bit jealous because Koda & Fox get to go out of the fence & I can't. Mom said it's because I will run off. I've been known to do that when I get a chance to get out of the fence. I can't help it. I like to roam around the country & meet new people. They said they hope I learn to stay in the yard by watching Koda & Fox. I'm hoping they will give me a chance soon. I will try real hard to stay close & not run off!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom & Dad said they were going to meet some other dogs when they left earlier in the day. When they got home & let those dogs out of the car, I was a little worried because they were BIG! Much bigger than us. I sniffed them all over & let them know that I wasn't scared and I was here first. I don't mind sharing the love, but I was a little worried that I would be left out. 

I'm feeling a little left out because Koda & Fox are laying on the couch by dad & that is usually where I get to lay. But, that's okay for a little bit. I'm laying by mom & Gizmo right now. I will just let Koda & Fox know that they have to share dad too. 

Mom said she didn't realize it had been so long since she let us write in our diaries. I kept telling her but she always said we could do it later. Now, look how long it has been! Back then, we didn't have a dad. So, maybe he will help us write in our diaries more often now that he is around. Hopefully, I will be surfing around dogster more than I have been in the past!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We haven't been able to get on dogster and write anything for a long time! We also haven't been able to "escape" lately. Mom got a door on the front porch and she keeps it shut now. Of course, Gizmo doesn't try to run down the driveway, but I love to run. Ginger does too. For a long time Ginger wouldn't leave mom's sight, but once I showed her where papaw feeds his cats she runs up there too! We like cat food but mom says we can't have it very often because it is for cats only. I have to let Gizmo write a little bit now. Talk to ya soon! Lucy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am able to write in my diary again! Lets see... we have had so many new things going on I don't know where to start.  I'll start with Mr. Jewels (our cat brother) keeps losing all of his collars that mom puts on him. (she has to add a bell to them too). Do you wanna know WHY she has to add a bell? Because he is kinda like me where he likes to hunt. But, he does something bad when he catches things.. he uses OUR (doggy) door to bring them in the house! Can you beleive it? He has brought 3 flying squirrels, 1 mouse, 2 big moths & a baby bunny rabbit. He doesn't kill them all though. He brings them in, puts them in moms big bathtub & he plays with them. A couple of them got out of the tub & mom had to get them to safety.  I'll have to tell you more things later, Ginger wants to write about some stuff too, so I better let her. I'll bark at ya later!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We have been using our doggy door for a little while now & I just love it. Mom has started coming in the back door (where our doggy door is) so Ginger will come outside instead of making a mess on the floor when mom tries to come in. Ginger just gets so excited she can't hold it. She is doing better now that mom uses the back door. I, being the lady that I am, always go outside to potty! 

I snapped at my cat brother, Mr. Jewels, last night because he thought he could get up in the chair with us. I'm being extremely nice letting Gizmo sit up there with me & MY mom. I only let Gizmo because he is smaller. I have to let Ginger write some now.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am getting upset with our mom. She is always gone to work or meetings. She doesn't spend as much time rubbing my belly as she used to. And NOW she is putting a fence out back. I like to be able to run around. She said she is doing it mostly because I won't stay in the yard. She had a small fence up before but the steps out back weren't safe for Gizmo, so now she has that fixed & a bigger area for us to run. 

Bear dog (Randy's dog) has always been a country dog. When they put up a fence, he would climb it! Yes, really he did! So, he finally just became the Hobo dog out in this area. He had 3 other homes that our mom knew about.  They all helped take care of him. One of his other homes even had a doggy door and he used it too. hehehe  It's been over a month now and no-one has seen him. Someone has either made him go with them or hurt him. We think if someone took him that he will find his way back. He's really smart. When he was walking down the road he would get off in the ditch until a car passed. Mom always said he was a smart dog. Other people have seen him get over in the ditch too. He was more protective of our family than anyone elses. I think he knew that our mom & our brother (Randy) was his owners. 

We miss Bear dog and wish he would come back soon. Mom gets sad thinking about him being gone. Alot of people love him! I better go. Gizmo & Ginger need to write a little bit too. Then maybe mom will rub my belly again! Later!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I decided to take off running outside with Bear dog one day. Bear is more of a country dog. He has a few families around the country roads where we live. All of them give him food and treats. When we took off I stayed gone for over a week! My mom said she was so worried and she was sad that I wasn't home with her. I usually sleep right next to mom on the other pillow. Sometimes I lay my paw on her neck so she knows I am there.

When I took off with Bear, I found some more dog and human friends. One of them even has a pond that I can get in! I love getting wet. Mom says she don't understand why I didn't come back home. She wondered if maybe I was jealous of Gizmo because he likes alot of attention too. Mommy said she loves us all the same but that I should know that she favors me more because I used to have heart worms when she first got me from that stinky animal shelter.

When mom found out where I was and she came to get me, I ran and jumped in.. so did Bear. Well, I gotta go, Ginger wants to write a little bit too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I really don't like having to go out back and be stuck with a fence blocking me. I like to get in water and play. Mom said she would try to get me a little swimming pool so I could still play in the water. Every chance I get, I run out the front door. If Bear starts barking, I get real excited and have to run out the door to see what he is barking at.  It doesn't matter if my mom is hollering for me to come back.. I just keep on going. She says it worries her when I do that. So, I'll try not to do it too much. But sometimes, I just HAVE TO!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom took some pictures while we were outside. I don't like being in that pen, but mommy said we had to because the dog catcher will pick me up again & she don't want to lose me. 

Last week I had taken off following Bear Dog & I just kept going. My mom searched & searched and when the dog pound opened on Monday she found out I was there. That's where she found me the first time too.  The first time I ever seen her. And she rescued me from that stinky place! She got me cleaned up and a real nice hair cut. I hadn't ever had a nice hair cut before.. so that made me real proud. And I don't want to go back there ever again!

Anyway... it was pretty hot today & mom was worried that I would get too hot so she made me come in a couple of times. I really like to run and play and I can't do that too much in the pen. When I see birds or squirells or rabbits, I like to chase them. When I get a chance.. I still sneak out the front door so I can see what is there for me to chase! Gizmo needs to write in his diary now, I'm going to lay down.]]></content:encoded>

Mom gave me herbs because she was worried about me getting so excited using the doctors type of treatment. My mom started acting all excited when he told her I didn't have them anymore! Mom is now convinced that herbs CAN work wonders!! She said she is going to get more herbs to use as a preventative!
Also, my mom got ANOTHER DOG! It is a boy. He is a Shih Tzu. He was also rescued from the local kill shelter. Mom think she can get all kinds of dogs.. but she can't! She has to stop somewhere!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom gets mad at me but I just can't help it. If I see water, I want to run through it. Ginger still likes to stay by mom all the time, but I love to go outside and get wet. I play and have fun and then I lay in the sun for a little while. 

Mom told us that Abbie & Tobey are going to have some babies! Miranda thinks mom should have a pug but we don't want a hyper baby around here. I get real mad when other dogs jump around and play too much. I don't like to wrestle around with other dogs, but I like to play like that with my mom. I think she likes it too. 

Well, I'm off to go play some more. I will write in my diary again soon.  Lucy  P.S. It might take me a little while to write again because mom is working alot and it is summer so I like to play outside more this time of the year.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We have just been so busy. I love my mommy so much. I like to sit in her recliner with her and if I am in it first, when I see her coming, I move over so she can sit down too. My mom does the same thing for me. All I have to do is walk toward her and she just knows. We are so lucky we found each other. And I am really glad that Ginger doesn't like to be loved on as much as I do. (cuz I get more loving since she don't like it too much)

Mommy's friends say she is crazy because the things she does for us. But HEY... we are just as special as humans! Mom always makes sure she has some good food cooked for us and she always uses clean utensils. People think that is real funny and that we don't care if we have dirty bowls or utensils.

Bear is out roaming the country again. Mom had a talk with him and told him he needed to check in with her at least every 3 days. He has been doing pretty good since she told him that. He should be back tomorrow and if not, mom will have to have another talk. I have to go now, Ginger needs to add to her diary too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy had put stockings up for us and Santa put some treats in them. Mr. Jewels got some cat treats in his stocking. We have a lot of treats now! There was a big bag of treats under the tree too. It was too big to fit in our stockings.

I am real picky about my treats, there were some that we got that I don't like too much & I turn my head away. Of course, Ginger likes all of them. 

Last week my mom was eating an orange and I tasted it. It was pretty good. Mom had to share the whole orange with me. Some people say that dogs don't like oranges... well, I do. Ginger didn't like oranges... can you believe that?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I waited over a week before writing this in my diary. I wanted to make sure I was right before I wrote it. Mommy found a good home for the other dog. She went to live with a woman that our dad works with. We all went that day.... even Bear dog. All 4 of us dogs were in the back and we met this real nice man & woman. They took Lady home with them. Lady seemed to like them. I think she will really like it there. Mommy said that when she called the woman and talked to her that she was really happy with Lady. She said one day she let her out in the back yard to go potty. It has a fence around it, but Lady found a hole and got out. Lady's new mommy was scared and went looking for her. Pretty soon Lady came walking up to her. I think Lady is in a good home... even though her new mommy has a cat & Lady does the same thing to that cat. We are hoping that Lady will get used to the cat. 

Mr. Jewels, our cat brother, sure likes it that Lady is gone. You should see him. He just struts around the house like he is the king.. like he always done before. He caught a mouse a couple of days ago. He took it to dad and wanted dad to see it. He was so proud. He usually catches them outside and leaves them on the sidewalk for everyone to see. Mommy said she is glad that Mr. Jewels is catching them inside too!

I can tell that mommy misses Lady, and I have to admit it... I do too... but just a little bit! Really... I promise. I don't miss her very much. Why don't anyone believe me when I say that?

Mommy took me to the herb doctor last week. I got some new herbs for the heartworms. The herb doctor said that my heartworms will be gone in 13 weeks. It is basically the same herbs that mommy was giving me already, but she has to give me a stronger dose. The doctor also said that I was a little calcium deficient, so she told mommy to give me a tablespoon of cottage cheese every day. I like cottage cheese. Mommy also let Ginger and me taste an orange tonight. At first I didn't like it... but after I tasted the first little piece, I wanted some more. Of course Ginger ate it right away. She will eat anything! She loves to eat. Mommy has to watch her close or she will eat too much and get fatter!   Well, until next time.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says she has to wait to find a good home before the new dog can leave. I don't like it that she always tries to get my moms attention. Ginger got mad at her yesterday. She kept getting the tennis ball and taking it to mom. Mom would throw it and she would go get it & bring it back to mom. I went and got it 2 times and took it to our bed and hid it. I didn't like it that they were playing. But, mom went and got the ball for her. So, I played again... when mom through the ball, I ran really fast and got it and brought it back to my mom. Then I went on to the couch so I could just watch them. Ginger went by mom and when Lady brought the ball, Ginger started fighting with her. Mom got mad at Ginger and told her not to do that anymore. I wish a nice family would contact my mom so she could go somewhere else. Ginger & me don't like this very much and I think my mom knows it too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She brought home another dog yesterday. I don't like her. She tries to sit in MY spot.. on my moms lap and I don't like that. I will share my mom with Ginger because she was here first, and besides, she don't usually try to sit in the recliner with mom. When that new dog gets on my moms lap, I move. Mom says that she isn't going to keep this new dog here permanently.. she just wanted to save her from being killed at the shelter. So, if anyone is reading this and would like to see this new girl that needs a home, please go to this link and see more information about her so I can have my spot in the recliner all to myself, by my mom. My mom explained to me today that this girl was at the same place where she found me, so I am trying to be patient and let my mom find a good home for her. I didn't like staying in that stinky place either. Please go check her out!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bear is my "human" brothers dog. We live in the country & sometimes when my mom lets us out to go potty, Bear likes to take off and stay gone for a week or two and then he comes back for some good food that mom cooks for us. She has meatballs for us for the next couple of days. He always seems to come back when we have meatballs. I think he must smell them cooking or something. I am glad that Bear is home though. He likes to run and play with me. Ginger always thinks she has to be by mom. If mom walks from one room to another Ginger is always right behind her. She needs to play with us because she is getting pretty fat. 

The first week that my mom brought me home from the animal shelter, she let me out to potty and I wanted to go exploring. I was checking all of the neighborhood out. I was gone for 9 hours and my mom was out searching the area for me. I was seen about a mile from home and when my mom came to get me, I was gone again. I wasn't running away. I just wanted to check everything out. I haven't ever done that again. After seeing how upset my mom was and she talked to me and told me how it scared her so bad, I decided to stay closer to home. 

But... I just can't help myself when I see a squirell or a rabbit. I just have to run and try to catch it. Bear likes to do that too. Ginger will follow us for a little while, but if she sees that mom isn't on the porch anymore, she will run back to the door and bark for mom to let her in. She is such a baby! Mom keeps telling her that we are going to have to go walking more often because mom & Ginger both are gaining weight. I am off to take a nap on the couch with my friend Barb now. I have been playing since Bear came back home today.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I lived with the chief of police in a small town. He had me inside where it was warm for a little while, then I was stuck outside. He didn't ever get my hair cut. I was still cute, of course, but I knew I could look better if someone took care of me. 

One day he just loaded me up and took me to this place & just left me there with all kinds of other dogs. I thought he would be back in a little while.  The lady wrote down some information about me and put it on the door of my pen.  I seen several people come in and out of this place, but no-one took me back home & my owner must have forgotten how to get back there because he never came back to get me. 

One day I saw a lady and her grown daughter walk in. They talked to the lady and walked back and forth in front of all of the cages, talking to me and my new friends. I started shaking my butt when she got close to me. I could tell I was getting to her. I just looked at her so sweet and let her know that she needed to take me home and make me better. 

The 2 ladies left and a little while later they came back. WOOF WOOF  I want their attention. I was thinking ....Ohhhh, what can I do..... She bent down &  was talking to me.  I put on my sweet little face again and IT WORKED... she asked me if I wanted to go home with her. Immediately I started shaking my butt & making my sweet little excited whining noise! They are taking me home!! I heard my new owner as she was lifting me into the cage say that I needed a bath. WOW   I will be getting a bath. I am SO READY FOR ONE!

She got me home and took out this funny looking thing and it made a flash. I know now that it is called a picture, my mom takes them all the time. After the picture she gave me a bath... and then another one... and another one. Boy, I guess I was really dirty. Then, she got some clippers and tried to cut some of my hair because she said the smell just wouldn't go away. I liked the bath. I stood still for my mom because I knew right away that she was going to be very special. And I could tell that we were going to be special for each other.. and my new sister, Ginger, too! We are such a great little family!]]></content:encoded>
