		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Dogster, it appears that for the first time in 63 years, Charlotte, North Carolina has seen a WHITE CHRISTMAS! Of course, Mama and I are going to take advantage of this and play in it, but we wanted to briefly put up a photo of me in it. I now have a picture of me in the snow. I know, I look very silly. The camera on Mama's phone isn't the greatest. But I was going so fast that I'm sure Mama couldn'tve gotten a decent one! BOL! 

What I was doing was running full force all the way around our 1/2 acre fenced back yard and kicking the snow up with my front paws SO I COULD EAT IT! Snow is yummy, everyone knows this!!! I also kept my head low as I was sniffing around in the snow. Let's just say I was SOAKING WET by the time I came in! But now I need to go back out, so I'll bark to you pups later!

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yay! Dogsters, I am SOOO excited! I'm Diary Pick of the Day on Christmas! Thank-you so much, Dogster! I'm very happy that you picked me!!! :D

We did all our presents last night so that the family could sleep in on the holiday. It was amazing, I sat on Mama's lap while she opened her gift in our big red chair and she made a cocoon around us, FUNNY! I also loved sniffing every present that Mama took out of the box, they all smelled so good! I woke Mama up this morning by going into their room, but its Christmas so she didn't mind! She let me up on the bed and we cuddled for nearly an hour, then Mama gave me my stocking! All I gotta say is, talk to ya later, Dogster! I've got some rawhides and squeekies to get to!!!

Merry Christmas!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its been a while since Mama and I've posted here lately. Nothing new to record, no new tricks, I've just continued being the perfect house dog. :) 

Last night, though, I had a new experience. One of Mama's friends, Danese, came over. She's come over before and smells like DOGS. Not only that, she talks in a high pitched voice to me and gets me all excited! It's habitual that I run around the house like crazy! It's been a while since she's been over, and here's what has happened in that time:

Her and her husband Will had a BABY and his name is Oliver. He's only a few months old, maybe two, and they brought him. Mama knew he was coming along with them, so she sat me on the couch with her as we waited and calmed me down, but as soon as Danese walked in I remembered her and got all excited--not only that, she talked to me in her typical high pitched and excited voice. Will set the baby carrier down on a big box and after I greeted Will and Danese I excitedly put my paws up on the box to smell that package that they brought in, but Mama and Will and Danese all told me no, so I just continued with Will and Danese even though the thing they carried in smelled so nice.

After a while, Mama started making me lay down with her and relax, but this is so unusual with Will and Danese. I obeyed though and Mama kept me laying down, but still in seeing and hearing distance in the other room while Oliver got his diaper changed. Once Oliver was changed, Mama told me I was free and I came back in. I was very good and just stayed at Mama's feet. I understood. 

Soon, I saw Danese holding Oliver in her arms and walk across the room. From my point of view, I couldn't tell what it was but I can't STAND it when someone carries the kitty across the room so I ran and put my paws up on Danese. She didn't mind and let me sniff Oliver's feet which I enjoyed. After that I behaved, but I still didn't know exactly what Oliver was. Later on, I was sitting on the floor by Mama and Danese gave Mama baby Oliver. At that point, I knew what he was and I did the cutest thing! I laid my head on the chair and just stared at baby Oliver, wagging my tail and smiling with my little underbite. Mama told me what a good girl I was and even though I didn't get to sniff Oliver up close, I was perfectly fine and well behaved.

I'd never really seen a baby before now. Not one under two years or so, so this was a new experience for me and I did grrrreat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Please read this whole thing. I know it's long and I understand that this isn't Craigslist, but it's important that Dogster members are aware as sad and horrifying this truth is.</b>

I think our society needs a huge "Wake-up" call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you people who have ever surrendered a pet to a shelter or humane society should be made to work in the "back" of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would stop flagging the ads on craigslist and help these animals find homes. That puppy you just bought will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore. Just so you know there's a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it?s dumped at? Purebred or not! About 25% of all of the dogs that are "owner surrenders" or "strays", that come into a shelter are purebred dogs. 



The most common excuses: "We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat)." Really? Where are you moving too that doesn't allow pets? Or they say "The dog got bigger than we thought it would". How big did you think a German Shepherd would get? "We don't have time for her". Really? I work a 10-12 hour day and still have time for my 6 dogs! "She's tearing up our yard". How about making her a part of your family? They always tell me "We just don't want to have to stress about finding a place for her we know she'll get adopted, she's a good dog". 



Odds are your pet won't get adopted & how stressful do you think being in a shelter is? Well, let me tell you, your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off. Sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn't full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy. If it sniffles, it dies. Your pet will be confined to a small run/kennel in a room with other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it. If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers in that day to take him/her for a walk. If I don't, your pet won't get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of its pen with a high-powered hose. If your dog is big, black or any of the "Bully" breeds (pit bull, rottie, mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked it through the front door. Those dogs just don't get adopted. It doesn't matter how 'sweet' or 'well behaved' they are. 

If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed it may get a stay of execution, but not for long . Most dogs get very kennel protective after about a week and are destroyed for showing aggression. Even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment. If your pet makes it over all of those hurdles chances are it will get kennel cough or an upper respiratory infection and will be destroyed because the shelter gets paid a fee to euthanize each animal and making money is better than spending money to take this animal to the vet. 



Here's a little euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being "put-down".

First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash. They always look like they think they are going for a walk happy, wagging their tails. Until they get to "The Room", every one of them freaks out and puts on the brakes when we get to the door. It must smell like death or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there, it's strange, but it happens with every one of them. Your dog or cat will be restrained, held down by 1 or 2 shelter workers depending on the size and how freaked out they are. Then a shelter worker who we call a euthanasia tech (not a vet) find a vein in the front leg and inject a lethal dose of the "pink stuff". Hopefully your pet doesn't panic from restrained and jerk. I've seen the needles tear out of a leg and been covered with the resulting blood and been deafened by the yelps and screams. They all don't just "go to sleep", sometimes they spasm for a while, gasp for air and defecate on themselves. You see shelters are trying to make money to pay employee pay checks and don?t forget the board of directors needs to be paid too, so we don?t spend our funds to tranquilize the animal before injecting them with the lethal drug, we just put the burning lethal drug in the vein and let them suffer until dead. If it were not a ?making money issue? and we had to have a licensed vet do this procedure, the animal would be sedated or tranquilized and then euthanized, but to do this procedure correctly would cost more money so we do not follow what is right for the animal, we just follow what is the fastest way we can make a dollar. Shelters do not have to have a vet perform their euthanasia?s so even if it takes our employee 50 pokes with a needle and 3 hours to get the vein that is what we do. Making money is the issue here not loosing money. 



When it all ends, your pets corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back with all of the other animals that were killed waiting to be picked up like garbage. What happens next? Cremated? Taken to the dump? Rendered into pet food? Or used for the schools to dissect and experiment on? You'll never know and it probably won't even cross your mind. It was just an animal and you can always buy another one, right! 

I hope that those of you who still have a beating heart and have read this are bawling your eyes out and can't get the pictures out of your head, I deal with this everyday. I hate my job, I hate that it exists & I hate that it will always be there, unless we the people make some changes and start educating the public. Do research, do your homework, and know exactly what you are getting into before getting a pet. These shelters and humane societies exist because people just do not care about animals anymore. Animals were not intended to be disposable but somehow that is what they are these days. Animal shelters are an easy way out for ONLY YOU, if you get tired of your dog, cat, horse or whatever. 



Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters or worse and only you can stop it. PuppyMills (PetShops), BackYard Breeders & irresponsible owners are the ones to blame for this. I just hope I may changed one persons' mind about taking their dog to a shelter, a humane society, or buying a dog from a PetShop or BackYard Breeder or Online; because no matter how nice the site looks it could just be a PuppyMill in disquise & those poor dogs are usually NOT well cared for, spending their whole lives in tiny cages, many sick, malnourised, overbred & rife with inheritaded defects! If you absolutely must buy a PureBred Pet, PLEASE go to REPUTABLE BREEDER! SO PLEASE PEOPLE ~ SPAY/NEUTER ~ OPT TO ADOPT ~ MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO ~ DO YOUR RESEARCH ~ CHECK AT THE SHELTERS FOR PUREBREDS FIRST THEN FIND A REPUTABLE BREEDER IF A PUREBRED IS WHAT YOU MUST HAVE ~ PROPERLY SOCIALIZE YOUR PET ~ DON'T FORGET SOME BASIC TRAINING, AT LEAST SOME MANNERS. 



For those of you that care--- please repost this to at least one other craiglist in another city/state. Let's see if we can get this all around the US and have an impact. 


THANK YOU FOR READING & PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG. WE'RE THE ANIMALS' ONLY

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama's off to Myrtle Beach fur the fourth of July with the family, so we won't be on Dogster fur just a day. 

Our neighbor spends about $2300 every year on fireworks... Yes, he's crazy, but guess what! I'm not scared of the fireworks! Mama figured I would be, but nope!

Just a reminder, if you have small fireworks be VERY careful with your dog. You should not only take safety procautions, but you should keep in mind that last night dozens of dogs ran off because they were scared of fireworks. Just look at your local Craigslist listings and you'll see. Be careful. Our dogs are way too important to get lost over silly fireworks.

Enjoy your holiday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So most of you pups know that I just LOVE to swim in the creek! Well, there was another contest at the Dog Blog for a free water-proof dog collar and I WON! Here's my entry:

What an awesome collar! I could definitely use one! I’m a PUGGLE which is NOT a swimming breed, but Mama always brings me to the creek by our house. It has nice cool waters and on the hot NC summer days, it’s a great way fur Mama to give me exercise in a safe way.

Even though I’m not a swimming breed, Mama and I walk through the creek and there are some deep parts that my small-medium dog body can’t touch in. 

The first time I actually swam was one of the first times in the creek. We were gently walking through and I had to pick my head up high so I could walk but then there was a sudden (about three inch) drop, but it was enough to bring me under. Instead of freaking out, I just swam on in the creek! Mama stayed close to me, but then realized that I LOVED to swim! Summer is such an awesome month! I get to go to the creek and SWIM and now I know where the deep parts are and I just JUMP in instead of going under.

A problem is, though, my collar is VERY smelly after a good long swim! Even if I don’t win the contest, we’ll definitely be getting me a second collar with help from the links. Thanks Dogster Dog Blog!

**************************************

I WON! We are so very excited! We will try to post pictures of me in the creek with my new water-proof dog collar when it comes in! Can't wait, we're so grateful to Dogster! We never would have known if it wasn't fur the blog! We highly recommend it to all pups. You can learn a lot!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it's not that bad. It's just that Sammy has PULLED OUT from spending the week at our house. Yes, it is very sad. 

Apparently the lady's daughter was very unhappy about leaving Sammy so instead of just going to their grandparents house like planned, Sammy went along. 

Sammy is a very loved dog. Hopefully Mama will get her chance with a regular training session with Sammy, even as exciting as over-night training is.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama is trying something new in about a week! For a while she knew about it, but she waited until it was definite so I could tell Dogster. We are going to have a doggy Dachshund named Sam stay at our house for training for a week around the time of fourth of July. It's very exciting! Sam will love our creek and the trail by our house! And I fur one will LOVE to have a buddy puppy around! 

Mama is planning on teaching Sam basic commands and manners while she is here (or anything her owner asks specifically). This is going to be a grrreat experience that I'm sure we'll want to do again! We'll keep Dogster posted as the time comes!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama had the strangest training experience yet... The dog she was working with--Holly, a small, 9 pound mutt of probably a Yorkie and JRT mix, was AFRAID of treats! She was literally a happy, go-lucky dog, but when you pulled out a treat or food reward she became overly fearful and overly submissive. Since she wasn't interested in any toys and praise wasn't enough for her, this made things difficult. We guess that her past has caused this. Her owners now are nice, Mama knows them well. But they adopted her from someone who found her as a stray and couldn't find the owner to reclaim her. 

Anyway, that was our strange experience that Mama probably won't have again in a while! BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I saw a commercial on TV for the Pet Zoom not too long ago and to be honest, this device scared me. It's a pocket-sized device that when you push the button, it sends out a signal that keeps all pets away or supposedly tells them when they're doing something wrong. I wasn't sure if it actually was humane and to be honest I'm still not sure. The website says that it's a "pain-free ultrasonic signal that only dogs can hear", but how do we know that it's pain free? There's no way for us to tell and this works with many kinds of animals, not just dogs and cats. 

Dogsters, Mama's going to look into the Pet Zoom but we do NOT recommend it and we ask that you not use it. We have said many times before that we don't recommend shock collars and Pet Zoom goes in the same category. If we find any websites describing it further, we'll post links to them right here. Either way, humane or not, there are MANY other ways to train and they're more effective and long-lasting then the Pet Zoom.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama found a cane and the new trick is me putting my paw in the cane and keeping it there. Mama has to hold it at the top and balance it, mind you, but it still looks very cute! 

She was also working with me on weaving through her legs FASTER since I did it fairly slowly. I can do it VERY quickly now! 

There's a talent show at Mama's church soon... Do you think I could pull it off? I'm not sure... With all the lights and people... I don't know! Mama's seriously looking into it, though. There's limited ways to train for complete focus in something like that, so we'll just have to see if the director of the talent show thinks it's a good idea. It would be pawsitively fun if I could!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess Mama figured that she spent way too much time without training me. We've got four new tricks this week and counting! Mama just needs some hula-hoops that she'll get soon and we'll REALLY get started! :D

Well the two that we conquered today surprisingly quickly were 1: taking off Mama's socks. (don't worry, they were clean. BOL!) and 2: one that's complicated to explain. The command is "lets go" and Mama holds a suitcase at a slight tilt and I jump on and stay on as she pulls it. This one took a bit longer then expected because I was just afraid whenever it moved but in the end and after many repetitions I conquered my fear! :D Mama's so proud of me. If she can have hula hoops by tomorrow then we'll be in good shape. Can't wait!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright, so the trick "Mount" has two meanings. #1 I could jump up and balance on Mama's knee. #2 I could jump on Mama's back and balance on it! They both have the same hand signal so it just depends on the way Mama is standing. 

There's also a trick that Mama did NOT teach me. I did it on my own. Mama said, "Play Basketball!" and the basketball was right in front of me. I put my paws up on the ball and started to playfully nip at it. Mama never taught me to nip at it and it looks very cute so that's a new trick too! :D

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There is an entry in the Dog Blog about a Pit Bull that bit two people, one a friend one a vet tech, and he was about to be put to sleep when his owners broke into the shelter and rescued him. Here's a link to the page:

http://dogblog.dogster.com/2010/05/14/four-legged-felon-escapes-death-row/

It's an interesting story, read if if you have time as well as read the comments. There were some... less then dog lover people there... that posted about how a dog like that should be put to sleep. Mama put in her input and would like to post one of the (maybe smart remarks) things that Mama said in my diary:

Let's break down Dogster:

For the LOVE of DOG

Break it down even further:

1: If you love something, you won't destroy it
2: Pit Bulls are dogs just as much as Labs, Poodles, Chihuahuas, etc...

We hear Pit Bulls criticized WAY too much in our society! If you love Dogs, there's a big package, small print on the contract, you love DOGS. No acceptions!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama was at a sort of outdoorsy place today and guess what, there was a PUGGLE there and it WASN'T ME! BOL! 

This Puggle had to have been only a few months old. He was a good size but there was no maturity what so ever so Mama asked and was right at nine months old. This Puggle's name was Jed and he was a tawny Puggle, not black like me. Mama describes him in one word as ADORABLE! I bet I could top him, though, BOL! 

Mama was about to walk over and talk to the owner, engage in a conversation, etc... when Jed pulled backwards and slipped his collar. Oh no! Any Puggle owner who has had an untrained Puggle let off leash in a public area knows that this is TROUBLE! He didn't get far till he got to Mama. (Since Mama has experience in catching Ralphie when he's loose now, this job wasn't too hard, BOL!) 

The owners were very appreciative and they started having a conversation about Puggles right there and then. Mama showed pictures of me and my underbite with her phone and they got into talking about training. Jed's owners were asking types of questions like, "Do Puggles just grow out of this active and destructive stage?" Answer, "No, they definitely have to be trained." Question, "Where did you train Annie?" Answer, "Actually, I did it myself. She is well behaved, trained, and knows over 100 tricks and commands." 

Dropped jaw, hee hee! 

Mama continued talking fur a long time with the owner and they had healthy conversations about training and disciplines as well as other doggy-things. :D Mama is very happy about the outcome and, who knows, we may have just picked up another client!

All this to say, any dog, any breed is trainable. That was one of the core parts of the conversation. Jed's owner didn't think it could be done! She was in over her head and couldn't handle him. Mama was able to point her in a good direction and now I have a new doggy friend that I just might meet very soon! 

I LOVED sniffing Mama as she came home! Her pants, hands, shirt, ANYTHING it all smelled like JED! I will now recognize him when I see him. :D

The package includes a doggy tooth brush and tooth paste, a dental chews treats bag, and a squeaky toy soccer ball! :D

Mama went outside to work with Ralphie and when she came in I had eaten every single one of the treats I could get my nose into! Mama left them too low down and didn't even tell me to leave them. It was open just enough fur me to get my nose in it... bad me... there are about four left so my loss! :P

I'm very happy to have won it... Thanks, Dogster!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So this morning I went to some baseball fields with my family... we found out when we got there that it was a NO DOGS ALLOWED place, BOL! Mama went back and forth from the stands to the car. She had to leave the windows open and bring me water and stuff... not fun but it was worth it fur what came next!

That took about an hour and a half and then we went to a park. There were woods and we planned on walking the trails but then we found a DOG PARK and guess what we did! I was put in with the big doggies (because there were no small ones around...) in a very large area.

I'll admit, this was a new thing, and I was confused. With so much space and such big dogs (Dobermans, Great Dane, German Shepherd, TONS of Huskies...) I was scared! I've never been to a dog park before! I know, that's a crime, but I didn't know what to do with myself since this was a first. The big Great Dane came over and tried to play with me but I just went in between Mama's legs... 

In the beginning Mama had to walk with me. I stayed right by her, not even straying too far for a scent or a marked territory and I would NOT play with the dogs. They'd all come and sniff me and I just let them do it submissively instead of playing. 

After a while, a bit before we had to go a little four week old Boxer puppy came named Alex. He was ADORABLE and once I saw him the lights went on and I ran and played with him! He was a bit smaller then me so that helped. I was so excited I jumped on his owner who was wearing white shorts... whoops! He didn't mind, though, BOL!

I loved playing with Alex and there were a few other dogs here and there. I was off-leash almost the whole time but in the end I didn't want to leave so I wasn't coming when called (I was doing a grrreat job earlier! Mama could just tap her thigh and I'd be right there but I always know when Mama needs us to leave... I wasn't exactly cooperative but I didn't run away from Mama, I just didn't come so she wasn't upset with me.

After that experience we did the walking trails... beautiful day, beautiful breeze, beautiful wooded area and all around a great and LONG day! Whoo hoo!

I'm so thankful that I got the experience of the dog park! I was scared and looked to Mama fur guidance but Mama is so proud that I went off and played on my own. This is something brand new so we'll have to see about trying it again REALLY soon! 

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Apparently 17.62% of dog owners have adopted from the puppy mills and would do it again according to Dogster stats! Let me assure all dog owners out there that supporting the cruelty of pets and breeding them in unhealthy ways will NOT make it stop and adopting the adorable puppy in the pet store just sends a portion of the money to the owner that torchers the mother by having her breed litter after litter till she dies or can't breed anymore. 

The best thing you can do is say NO to the puppy that will be sick fur the rest of its life. Not that we can't help those sick dogs but it comes down to the suffering aspect. It's nicer to let them go and get a dog from a reputable breeder or a rescue. 

Puggle loves!
Annie

P.S.- let me also say that most dog owners that unknowingly adopt from puppy mills and get an unhealthy puppy will put the dog in a shelter to be euthanized shortly after... think about that cycle....]]></content:encoded>

This living space was VERY small and there were about ten 18 year old boys in there. Mama went in just to help out with the dog! 

When you're 150 pounds of pure muscle, many of the 6.4 boys are scared of you... but the Rottie was scared too! He paced around the tiny living-space nervously and because Mama showed authority in the house he walked over to her. Here are the anxiety body-signals that he showed:

Redness in the eye
Whining
Licking his lips
Pacing
Uncertainty on eating
and lickng Mama's arms up and down!

Mama described it as like having a shower on her arms! His tongue was HUGE and covered her easily!

Well, all this to say that the over six foot men that were in the apartment were terrified of  the dog while little Mama went in there weighing in less then the dog but she still showed comfort fur the dog in its distress. Even big dogs like Taz, the Rottweiler, can have anxiety in situations like this too. Never underestimate how you can help! Mama weighs less then Taz and is MUCH smaller but he'd still go to her fur comfort.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama is SOOO excited! My barkday is on TUESDAY of THIS week! Can't wait till it comes!

Mama won't be here fur my barkday but she's already arranged many things such as my toys that I'm going to get, my treats, and the hour time span that she'll have just talking on the phone with ME!

Mama is going on a three week trip to New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania and there's no way she could get out of going on it so I'm stuck here, BOL!

She'll be flying so there's no way to take me, but we'll talk on the phone and keep in contact. Mama keeps telling me that she'll be going "bye-bye" but I don't quite get it since she hasn't left yet... She says she's going bye-bye tomorrow at lunch time so from then on, Dogsters, we will have limited time on Dogster! 

I'm so happy fur Mama but I'll miss her TERRIBLY so if you pups could pray fur me I'll probably be sitting by my window and eating minimal amounts fur the whole time... Please keep this lil' Puggle in your thoughts and prayers!

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama knows that it's very important on walks for the dog to be completely focused on its master and to listen to commands throughout everything. Fur the past few days, Mama and I have gone on our walks to a little place in our neighborhood with no one in it but the birdys and animal holes and we've been working on me looking at Mama all the time during my walk. That doesn't mean I can't watch where I'm going or that I can't look away fur a second but it means that half of the time I'm looking at her even if its just a glance.

Being a Puggle my nose is VERY strong! In this little fielded and wooded area there are many animal holes and many birdies flying around. I would love to chase them sooooo badly or even to just watch them or sniff them but I'm learning that Mama is MUCH more important and I need to stay focused on her.

Most of the time on the walks I'll just look at Mama the whole time and stand slightly in front of her. I know she wouldn't step into any obstacles and I trust her enough to not even watch where I'm going but just watch her. Mama doesn't encourage this because sometimes even she doesn't see potential dangers to me but it is touching that there's that much trust envolved in our relationship.

During our walk yesterday there were TONS of birdies and I wanted to get them sooo badly walking down the path to the fielded and wooded area but I ignored them and only looked at them a few times but I LEFT THEM BE!!! I'm a very proud puppy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We love watching the show Underdog to Wonderdog and there was a recent one about a Puggle. Both the Pug and Beagle breeds are prone to becoming overweight and this Puggle weight a few ounces from 40 pounds instead of what it should have weighed... 20-25 pounds. 

Mama and I found out that if your dog needs to lose weight some things that will help is obviously walks, portion control (look it up... size matters with portion control), puppy push-ups (sit, down, sit, down... etc.), fetching, and spins in both directions to strengthen the abdomen muscles.

A shocking a bit less then 50% of dogs suffer with some form of being overweight and if your dog is overweight the kindest thing you can do is help it become healthy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama and I sent a video of me doing some of my tricks to a professional dog trainer in Norway that handles much of the BIGGER things that aren't like the home-problem/behavior solutions Mama handles. She sent him a video of my cute tricks and got only compliments. Things like great praising, perfect amount of excitement in the tone of voice, and that there is really a connection with us.

Needless to say, a big professional says THUMBS UP! That works! Business has been slow lately. The cold weather brings clients down fur some reason so if you have any questions about training or such, please don't hesitate to paw mail! Mama feels like she hasn't been training enough lately so we'd be glad to help out!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ While I don't agree with Cesar Millan's training methods, I do know how hard it is to lose a dog. Here is a memorial that I got in an email from a friend... A memorial to Daddy:

<i>Cesar Millan, all his family and friends, his staff and volunteers, and dog lovers all around the world today will mourn the passing of one of the most loyal, trusting, well-balanced, and influential pit bull ambassadors the world has ever known. Daddy, Cesar's longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the 19th of February. He was sixteen years old.

He lived each day of those sixteen years happy and fulfilled as Cesar's right-hand-"man," helping to shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. He stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He successfully battled cancer and weathered chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards! 

His name is now added to that honorable roster of dogs gone by whose influence is still felt today, and which includes some of Cesar's beloved childhood heroes: "Rin-Tin-Tin." "Lassie." ... "Daddy."

He has been immortalized by Dog Whisperer fans in all mediums, from painting, to photographs, to charcoal drawings and papier-mâché sculpture. And, of course, he lives on in his work, reflected in the balance and calm-submission of his protégé Junior, the countless animals to whom he was a positive role model, and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him as a calm, sweet, and mellow example of a widely misunderstood breed.</i>


<b><u>In Loving Memory.</b></u>

Well, I guess the tennis ball article did the trick! BOL! Mama also wanted to announce to everypaw that my bond with the kitty has also grown stronger. I'm very happy. :D We get along a big better now and we can be extremely close to each other. Sometimes when we're both in a hurry our heads will bump and the kitty won't even care!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As you pups may know, Mama and I LOVE tennis balls! We use them all the time for games and now fur more productive things. ;) I hope you like the list!

By the paw, try to buy pink tennis balls if your dog loves them! The money used to buy them goes to finding a cure fur breast cancer!!!

EIGHT PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO USE A TENNIS BALL:

1. Bulb Remover
Use half of a ball to remove a warm light bulb from its socket. 
How to Safely Cut a Tennis Ball
• Draw a line around the diameter or the place you want to cut.
• For extra stability, secure the tennis ball in a clamp.
• Wearing sturdy work gloves, pierce the ball with an X-Acto knife or a box cutter, then slide with steady pressure. (Dead balls give a bit more and are easier to cut.)
2. Comforter Fluffer
Speed up the drying time of bulky bedding by tossing a couple of tennis balls in the load.
3. Arm Weights
Cut small slits into two balls. Fill with pennies or sand, then seal with tape or superglue. Take the weights on your next power walk.
4. Spa Tool
Roll sore feet over tennis balls for a soothing massage. 
5. Jar Opener
Conquer lids by using the rubber lining of a cut ball to aid your grip. 
6. Makeshift Safe
Cut a slit in a tennis ball, then place valuables (jewelry, cash, etc.) inside. Just keep it far away from Fido.
7. Reader Tip: Floor Guards
Cut an X into four balls and slip the feet of an ironing board inside. 
(Ruth Amundson, Westby, Wisconsin)
8. Reader Tip: Painkiller
Lie down. Place a tied sock containing two balls under the spot where your head and neck meet. Tuck your chin and gently nod your head up and down.
(Meg Junker, Dayton, Ohio)

Hope you liked it!

Read through the whole thing!!!

CESAR MILLAN, the host of hit National Geographic Channel series THE DOG WHISPERER, is being sued over claims a dog was left bruised and bleeding at his pet clinic. Producer FLODY SUAREZ alleges his Labrador GATOR was nearly choked by a collar and forced to run on a treadmill at Millan's Los Angeles-based Dog Psychology Centre, resulting in painful injuries. Suarez claims medical costs have so far reached $25,000 (GBP13,500). He has filed suit for breach of contract, fraud, animal cruelty and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to legal papers filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Gator had to be rushed to a vet an hour after being dropped off at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Centre. The dog was reportedly "bleeding from his mouth and nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath with severe bruising to his back inner thighs." The Dog Psychology Centre was unavailable to comment and a spokesman for the National Geographic Channel said it had not been served with a lawsuit.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here is Mama's thoughts placed out bluntly... She isn't doing anything to harm his motivation, but this is more like thoughtful criticism (might have just made something up...)

Point #1: We are totally against the shock collar training methods as well as the choke chain methods. Both do damage to the dogs' neck in some way (People say to put the shock collar on your bicept and see how it feels, but the reality is that the neck is much softer and tender, especially on dogs!). In the second video link of the previous entry, there's a video clip on YouTube of Cesar treating a dominant dog (in all the wrong ways) using a choke chain. In this clip, Cesar Milan claims the dogs is calmer and/or relaxed towards himself after he has finished working with it. Actually, the dog is almost unconscious due to asphyxiation after being strangled. It's a scary thought that people think this is okay.

Point #2: Why do Cesar's methods seem so effective? -- The "Pack Leader" method has many successful ways about it. Always treating yourself as the leader of the pack and the more important party is important, but the "Pack Leader" method leaves out all love, affection, and positive reinforcement. If a dog isn't properly reinforced for the behavior, doing the right thing doesn't seem proper to the dog. While Cesar is a professional at this method and his dogs do respond well, it's not something tha tpeople can learn and perfect from just watching the show which brings people to do the wrong things. 

Point #3: What does Cesar do in the show that you DON'T see? -- In the first link, there's a dog that's "red zone" against cats. The problem is, Cesar doesn't outwardly say that he's using the shock collar. He hides the transmitter in his pocket and when the dog has it's spaz attack, it's really being extremely shocked (once the dog hides it's head under the chair to try to escape from the collar!). This aggressive use of training could easily be overrun by positive reinforcement any day (the dog goes and tries to bite it's owner as an after-effect from the shock!). Why doesn't Cesar show the shock collar? Is he ashamed of it?

Point #4: In that episode, what did Cesar do to try to get the dog comfortable around the cat? He puts the cat in a crate and "psycologically" works with the dog. He brings the cat closer (as if that helps!), gets the cat all riled up, and causes anxiety and aggression from both animals. The cat attacks the owner in this episode, and so does the dog. Cesar eventually has the dog ignore the cat... why? Because the dog considers the cat a bad thing. It can't run from the cat (leash), it can't hide (open room), it can't leave it alone or show affection (cat is riled up and aggressive), and it can't get the motivation of affection because "pack leaders rarely give affection!" That totally messes up the phsycological stand point!!! Positive reinforcement would train the dog that the cat is a good thing other then vice versa... 

Point #5: Cesar's way of the Choke Chain -- Cesar is sure to keep the choke chain at the very top of the neck- the most sensative part. Does it hurt the dog? Yes. Could it choke them? Yes. If you put it on, could you breath properly? no... especially if you're pulling away from it with all your might. In a dog's mind when all else fails, you retreat and regroup yourself for the fight. Dogs need space, time, positive reinforcement, repetition, and love to pull through training.

With these five points, do you see my dilemmas with simply chokes, shocks, and just these two episodes that are on YouTube? I highly DO NOT recommend Cesar's methods. There's another way: Victoria Stilwell. Look her up and learn more about Positive Reinforcement. Mama and I will fill you in on any questions, so feel free to ask.

Thanks.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got this from my dogster furrend Jet. Jet got it from Minister Misty:

Minister Misty has noticed the SAVING BRUCE group members that Cesar Millan pretty much abuses dogs with, let's just say-a shock. Check out the video now:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPvr8tQhJY4

In that video, he hides the shock collar and in the end, the dog hides it's head under the couch. These are the things you DON'T see about Cesar Millan!

You can also check out this video to see how he treats dominant dogs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eSERTmOrpk&feature= related

It turns out, the dog was unconscious or going into shock from being strangled!

Jet has made a group that goes for Victoria Stilwell, a humane dog trainer. Please join!

DO NOT SUPPORT DOG ABUSER AND SHOCK COLLAR USER, CESAR MILLAN!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, you having problems with puppy training? Is it taking too long? Well, why are you complaining that your puppie's THAT old and not house-trained! Does your toddler understand that it needs to go to the bathroom outside or in the toilet at 3 or 4 months old?!

How many times do you have to tell a teenager to get up and get ready fur school, work, or something else? How many times do you need to tell your dog? Do you even need to tell your dog?

Are you complaining that your dog runs away when it's let off the leash? Well, how many times have you had to chase that toddler around the playground?

How many times does your teenager yell back at you if something doesn't go his/her way? Your dog doesn't talk back or complain...

You're getting frusterated because your dog will run and chase the closest squirrel around and doesn't listen to you? Well, those are instincts. How many times do you tell the little toddler over there that they can't eat the stuff they find off the ground. Do they listen?

The average teenager will spend more time with expensive electronics such as iPods, TV's, laptops and computers, and cell phones. Just give your dog that squeaky toy or tennis ball and they'll be busy fur hours.

*******************************************************************

With that said, are you still going to complain about how BAD your dog is?

Take it from a professional dog trainer... compared to the average toddler or the average teenager, dogs shouldn't even be a challenge.


********************************************************************

Did you like that? Mama made it. Feel free to copy and paste it into your diary if you'd like.

Puggle loves!
Annie and Professional trainer Mama.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama's had a run-in with a Dogster dog here. Here's the explanation of why Mama is a bit nervous:

One of their dogs went missing over a year ago

One of their dogs just out of the blue disappeared from Dogster and the owner said nothing of it. I automatically fear the worst-- I've heard that this dog wasn't greatly behaved and I fear euthanasia or the pound.  

Next, they go out and get a new dog


Are you ready? What's happened with your previous dogs? Have you done the research on your new breed? Are you ready to train that dog and give it some effort? Will you walk the dog? Will multiple dogs be right for your family?

Please don't be like the anonymous puppy-family...

Puggle loves!
Annie and Mama

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oliver, the neighbor's kitty who attacks my kitty was...... IN MY FRONT LAWN!

Guess what I had to do? BARK AT HIM! Yes, bark bark bark! Mama allowed me to bark at him a few times so that I could warn her. At that point she said, "Thank you, that's enough," but no it wasn't! I kept going!

In the end, Mama had to take me down and roll me to my side to show me that she was in charge and that it was okay. It worked. The kitty went bye-bye because of my barking and I was only a LITTLE BIT of a bad dog!

My uh oh is done!

Then I learned to roll up in a blanket! It still needs some work, but after 40 repetitions I nabbed that one too!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not us, Goldie. Goldie is our neighbor's 12 year old Golden Retriever/Lab/Chow Chow mix and she's decreasing in health. Yesterday, she couldn't walk on one of her front legs and she has had vometing problems. Also, there has been a lump found on her left side and it seems to be cancer. The family has had her for over 10 years and we would love it if pups would pray that she lives through Christmas. That is how bad it is...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama was outside watching the world go by. It's still wind-breaker/light jacket weather here and we still have no snow so Mama was enjoying watching the cars, birds, and dogs being walked. Pretty soon, Mama heard a beep coming from down deeper in our neighborhood. She got up and walked to the end of the cul-de-sac. It only took a second to see why the beep was there. A car almost hit a mini shorthaired dachshund.

Mama jogged down and when she neared the little dachshund that was dressed in a little dirty dress, it started barking at her. That little dog had an attitude. I'm glad I'm not that bad! So Mama followed her until she had her in a little corner. She was tempted to leave this doggy alone, but it was almost hit by a car. That would kill a dachshund instantly! She had to do something! The only thing that kept her motivated was that she didn't want a family to be without their dog for Christmas. 

When Mama got her into a corner, she started yipping and squealing. Mama felt badly, but knew that she could help the dog. She didn't make eye contact, she didn't stay tall (she crouched and inched forward), and she kept her hands behind her back. 

Finally, this little dog fit itself inside a tiny hole (Probably 3 by 3 inches!) in the fence of someone else and kept barking from the safety of his side of the fence. Mama took her phone and called her brother. He brought down a bit of food and that still wasn't enough to get the dog. After about ten minutes, Mama headed back up. She couldn't do anything else fur this puppy...

When she got home, she got a new idea. Annie! Yes! Me! Mama knew that I could help out this puppy better then she could!

She put a leash on me and brought me down to the back fence line of the house and after fifteen minutes, this puppy had gotten half of her body out, but she always slunk back in for some reason or other. Mama took me and ran up to the house. She furgot food!

After getting a raw hot dog, (Don't tell the dachshund that's what it was!) she came back down. She walked me into the clearing where the house was and the dachshund was on the path. She was running back to the fence line, but Mama made a shriek noise forcing the dachshund to turn. She tossed a piece of hot dog and the puppy ate it. After about five more minutes, she'd grabbed the puppy's collar. 

This dog wasn't happy about being held by the collar and being sniffed intensely by Annie, so she snarled and barked angrily. Mama let go and leured her in again. It took a while, but soon Mama got the puppy by the collar. Instantly, the puppy rolled over exposing it's stomach. Mama didn't know if this was submissive, or if she just wanted to get her belly rubbed, but it was like magic. Mama rubbed her belly and she instantly loved Mama. 

Mama had her brother take me home and bring back the leash. She still needed to find this puppy's owner and she had a Christmas Eve party in just minutes, so she needed to hurry! 

Mama asked some kids that were in a different cul-de-sac and then she noticed in the distance a mother, father, and two kids running around their property frantically. She was about 50 feet away, so she had to yell, "Excuse me, is this your dog?" The woman stopped and looked. She squinted her eyes and then raised two thumbs up, "That's our dog!" The kids were thrilled and Mama felt good. The dog's name was either Lucy or Lacey, but Mama couldn't tell. All she knew is that the dog was happy and that the kids were too. 

Now, Mama has to say something. Here you go, Mama:

Okay, so that little dog had a BAD attitude! We have friends with a dachshund and her name is Princess. Let it be known, that I've trained and handled many dachshunds, and I will not voluntarilly adopt one! Sorry all dachshund owners, but I respect you for putting up with that all the time! BOL! Dachshunds are way too vocal fur us!

So I mentioned in the previous email that Annie has officially learned Sit Pretty. I've just GOT to say- it is SOOOO cute! I love seeing her propping herself up in such a cute way with her paws sticking out. Since she just learned it, she's also a little bit wobbly so she's shaking slightly. It's so cute!

Oh, I can't wait to get some pics of it! It still needs a little work, but we're getting there and going at a grrreat pace!

Now, I'll do Sit Pretty in the middle of the room without Mama holding me and I'll hold it for quite a few seconds. I love this new trick!

Here's my Repetition chart:

18 repetitions with back to the chair
 LONG BREAK
4 repetitions with the back of the chair
5 repetitions with Mama holding me (no chair)
13 Repetitions on my own
10 Repetitions holding Sit Pretty for long periods of time.

SOOO pawsome! 50 Repetitions exactly! I'm good at exact numbers! Whoo hoo!

Thanks!

1. What do you like to get in your Christmas stocking?
Squeaky toys, stuffed toys, and maybe even some tennis balls! Oh! Training would be nice too! Can I get that in a stocking?

2. Have you seen Santa Paws this year?
Nope, but I'll be watching that fireplace on Christmas Eve like a hawk!

3. Do you like snow, and have you been in it?
I really love snow, but we get NONE here! We got some last year and got some weather people tricking us saying that there MIGHT be snow, but it hasn't happened... I hope it comes! It happened last year in January! 

4. What do you want for Christmas? 
I think some new tricks would be pawsome! I really would like 'em! I'd also like toys and stuff, some Mama time, some Rawhides, and some treats! They all are grrreat! 

5. Have you ever posed in a picture with Santa Paws?
Actually, no. 

Okay, I'll tag

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We live in North Carolina and we drove down just over the border to South Carolina to have dinner at a friend's house. We spent plenty over an hour there and it's almost an hour's drive back. We got up to leave at 10:30 and as we pulled out of the neighborhood, we spotted two dogs on the road. Even though this was ten thirty at night, there were still tons of cars driving by and we were rushed. We couldn't stop and help them...

There were two puppies- one black puppy and one white puppy with light brown spots. The black looked like a young black lab and the spotted looked like an oversized beagle with a long nose. Both dogs looked like sibolings due to their size and puppyhood, and they looked about 40 lbs. We found them licking the asphault for some carcass leftovers that were there. Mama wanted to stop sooo badly, but there was no place to pull over. 

We know this is a long shot, but Dogster is HUGE! If anypup even slightly catches a glimps of what seems to be the puppies, we'd really like to know. They've got a special place in our hearts now. We took I85 pretty much till the end or off of exit 82. We'd love to hear ANYTHING! Thanks so much!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, something that you might not know about Mama is that she's closterphobic. Today, Mama had to move her bed. She likes to keep it in the corner of her room, but we have relatives coming to our house for Christmas and two people will be sleeping in Mama's bed which means having it in the corner wouldn't be fun fur them.

Before Mama moved it, she had to get the stuff out from under it. It's a queen sized bed and she has two rolling boxes that she keeps under it. Sorry Mama, can't help you with those! 

Well, after Mama got those out, she noticed that here was stuff under the bed that needed to get out. A sock, pink tennis balls, pencils, and a few pens. Mama, you should be clean! Anyway, Mama's too scared to go under there and get her stuff out, so she asked me to help. 

At first I didn't get it. I'd go under the bed fur Mama, but when she said "Get it" I didn't 'get it' or understand what she meant. It was another learning experience and Mama grabbed a pink tennis ball, a sock, and some turkey breast and after teaching me to fetch the pink ball and the sock with only one repetition of each, Mama tested me in getting stuff that wasn't being thrown. 

I scored with flying colors and brought EVERYTHING out! Whoo hoo! Mama says, "Thanks, Annie, fur being my helper!"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In 20 minutes I learned another new trick Other Way. It's spinning in the oposite direction! Now, Mama was curious as to how many repetitions it would take to complete the learning cycle of this trick and counted. Here's the list:

13 Repetitions till I understood.
10 Repetitions till I did it immediately
8 more Repetitions till I learned it
9 more Repetitions till I could designate Other Way from Spin.

Aren't I so smart? In twenty minutes after 40 Repetitions, I learned the trick Other Way. I'm SUCH a good girl!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama often looks on Craigs List at the Dobermans and German Shepherds up fur adoption. We check it regularly and Mama has often thought of what she would say about me. She decided she'd write up an "Adoption" ad and she'll act as if I'm adoptable, but I'm really NOT ADOPTABLE just so that's clear:

This is Annie, a female Pug/Beagle mix or a Puggle. I have held her dear to my heart for the past two years and am sad to say that our journey has come to an end. 

She is my baby, my friend, and my sister and she's always been there for me in time of need. I have to let go of her due to __________, but I wish it didn't have to be this way. I've grown such a bond from her. She's the one that got me started in my very own dog training business and she's my little "guinea pig." 

Annie is black and has the nose of a beagle. Her ears are floppy like a beagle and also velvety like a pug and she has a curly pug tail. She weighs 25 pounds and she has an underbite.

Annie is extremely well trained. She knows over 100 tricks and commands (which I will show to any buyer and teach you the hand signals for) and she loves working with or without reward. A few of Annie's best tricks are: Itch, Bark, Whisper, Whine, Various Spin moves, Jumping into your arms, Dancing, Army Crawl, and Reach for the Sky followed by Bang!

When I got Annie, it was off of Craigs List. We lived in New Jersey at the time and had plenty of room for her to run and play, but I had no want to train her. We lived with her in New Jersey for many months till we moved to North Carolina and then our training began.

She is extremely smart and she learns quickly (though I'd be surprised if anyone out there could find something more to teach her other then gymnastic type things and flips.)

Annie is not highly motivated by frisbees or balls, but she loves stuffed animals and squeakers and she'll willingly play with them. 

We feed her a little less then one cup of food a day. Annie will come with her kennel, food, blankets, and love. She'll bring that wherever she goes.

Annie is very tolerent of kids. What we're looking for in a family is:

A family with either a fenced in yard or a family that is willing to walk her daily. She is fairly high energy and needs a way to drain that.

A family who will keep with her tricks and training

A family who will allow us to visit Annie. We'll miss her more then comprehendable!

A family with cats that GET ALONG with dogs, dogs that get along with other dogs, or even both. If animals like her, she's happy.

A family with kids would be WONDERFUL!


We would like to keep in touch with any new owners and we'll need to ask some questions before she goes to be sure that the family she goes to is perfect for her.

Annie is a submissive female, fixed, little paperwork available (it's all we have from getting her), and a definite companion for life.

She's healthy and at first sight she can guarantee you a forever friend. She loves going on walks to the creek near our house and she will swim if it means being with the people or kids she loves. She loves her walks and can't get enough! Annie loves kids and attention and she also loves being scratched. There's a certain spot I'd love to show new owners.

I'm hoping to get a family soon. I wouldn't want Annie to go to anyone that will be even slightly unpleasant for her and I wish she could have a furever home here. That is unfortunately out of the question, so we will be awaiting emails for our little Annie.

If you have room in your heart for a little Puggle, then please email as soon as possible.

*************************************************************

It makes Mama sad to write this even when it's not true, BOL!

Puggle loves!
Annie

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, there's still so much to learn! Well, today Mama found out that I won't fight with anyone unless Mama is. Mama and I will often team up and get Mama's two brofurrs. Mama's stronger then them, but with two of them she needs a little help. I'm just that help. (Friendly wrestling is big in our family.)

So every once in a while Mama and her brofurs will have a "war." Mama goes after older brofur and I keep younger brofur at bay. I'm very good at this job, but Mama's figured out that I won't go and "attack" any brofur unless Mama is too. She tried it out today and it didn't work. Oh well! Mama and I are always victorious anyway! BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, it's true. I was good at first. Mama walked out into the front yard and Mama's brofur opened the door a nd let me run out. Mama walked back and heard everyone call me and she called me so I came right away. I went straight to her and she picked me up and put me back down when we were in the yard. Guess what Mama's brofur did! He played with me in the front yard off leash!

He had one of those really long screw-drivers and after having me jump once to get it (doing EXACTLY what Mama told him not to) I caught a scent of Ralphie and ran. I was so excited and I ran right to Ralphie's yard and sniffed. Mama called me back and told me to go inside and to stay and everything, but I followed Ralphie's scent till I got the scent of something else.

This kept happening till I'd done a big circle around three houses and I was back in Goldie, our neighbor's, back yard. I had to cut through woods and everything. Mama was the only one following me, so I totally ignored her. 

In Goldie's back yard, Goldie started barking at me. At this time, brofur was here to help Mama get me. I finally saw that I was being bad and walked right over to Mama. I was VERY bad! I ignored Mama COUNTLESS TIMES! Mama's gonna have a BIG training session with me today, and I don't think it'll be stuff with fun motivation or tricks, I think it'll be strict and I won't have any treats, so I don't know what I'll be working for...

Mama will be training me today, so I've got to go.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama realizes that she's focusing much more on the way that dogs think and the way that they react. Actually, what she's seen is quite amazing! Have you ever noticed that anger is contageous?

Think about it. If you have someone in your household having a bad day or in a bad mood, how does the house react? Do they get angry at the person? Does their mood change to work around the person meaning are they happy and trying to cheer the person up? What is your reaction to anger or some other so called "contageous" "illness." Hopefully, if it's not as "healthy" as you'd like, you'll try to make a difference. You'll try to just take a few deep breaths. I know everyone says to just count to ten or take a deep breath, but people that hear it don't know how much it actually works!

Now into dogs... Mama's realizing the different body forms that I react too. She's looking into my processed thoughts through the way she's standing or sitting or laying and she's decided to do it without the computer. She simply wants to be proud of having all this information on her OWN without the internet and she's writing down all the forms and reactions. Some are very well known to people, but she's looking into every slight reaction. This would be much easier if she could read minds, BOL!

Mama said she would have gotten a different toy if she knew this bunny had a squeaker in it. The squeaker is no where to be seen, so Mama's sure I ate it. Well, the world will NEVER know! Hee hee!

By the paw, I LOVE sitting or laying in front of a heater! Mama has a little space heater and I hog it ALL THE TIME!

Imagine that you get a dog and you're a German person.  You get a dog from an American family and you talk to it in German. The dog understands the German (in puppyhood) just as much as it would understand English. Be patient while teaching your dog a language.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Are you looking for a new dog? What should you do?

I know many pups will tell you to go to a shelter or high kill pound, but there's more to consider. 

If you were to walk into a pound, what would you look for? The cutest dog? The sweetest dog? The calmest? The most excited? 

How about looking for the following:

An injured dog that needs more care 

A dog who is in the "red" section, or is about to be euthanized

Believe it or not, a BLACK dog. Yes, black. Black dogs aren't wanted as much. Studies prove it!

A dog who ISN'T a purebred. Mutts are great! I'm living proof!

If you trust your training abilities, look fur the pups that need more work then others. Can't trust many others but yourself!

************************************************************

I know we seem like hypocrites with the fact that we always say to rescue dogs and we're a one dog home, but there's times when you're NOT ALLOWED to have another dog. Believe us, we'd have ten dogs if we were allowed!

Therefore, since we can't get another furry pal, we'll encourage others with the ABILITY to get these poor pooches. Consider all the things you're thankful fur this season and consider making another dog thankful fur you.

Are you not allowed to get another dog either? Well, you've seen the vets and shelter signs that say, "Now Accepting Food Donations," or something similar. Ever considered donating food to a shelter or vet? Have you ever considered donating MONEY to those rescues?

Join us with helping all of dog-kind one paw at a time.

Puggle loves!
Annie

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, so Mama has pink tennis balls fur me and fur herself, and she has 15 altogether. She keeps all fifteen in an old Nike shoe box and it opens with a flip open, not a lid. She taught me how to nudge the box open and grab a tennis ball, then bring it back to her in one command, "Go find ball!" 

That was pretty hard to teach me, but we both got it. Now Mama's working on teaching me to, "Put ball away." It's a bit hard, but I'm getting it slowly. Mama works on it every few days with me so I don't get FAT from treats which is great. Hopefully I'll have it learned in a few days!

It was folded up almost completely and it was just like a chute tunnel; open on one side and closed on the other. I FLEW through it with no problem at all! I'm such a good girl!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Training Tip #3, November 9th, 2009: How to React

Did you know that dogs trace your feelings? They can sense it and it's often referred to they can smell it when you're angry or upset. How do you react when your dog goes crazy? It's natural to get nervous or scared if your dog is attacking another dog or being attacked by another dog, but you need to set that behind you. Act calmly, stay calm, be calm the entire time!

If your dog starts going crazy and you want them to settle down, what do you do? You be calm and firm. Say Annie is running around like a maniac, it's a firm, "Annie, come!" If she doesn't come I can't get angry at her. That traces to her and she'd never end up with me. I don't move my place. If I try to follow her or trap her she'll just keep running. (There is the occasional case where your dog will not come back no matter what. In those times, just follow when you need to. Your dog will tire and lay down or maybe even retreat to you if you're calm and patient. Don't risk this by a road, busy or not!)

Basically, doing anything except for praising your dog, always act calm and occasionally stern.

Puggle loves!
Annie

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First three pups that rate and comment my video get a ROSETTE!

Only the first three, no exceptions... You'd better get over there fast! Just comment and tell me what you think and rate it from 1-5. I'd really like you to be extremely honest. If it's not five star it's not five star. Mama used a bad video camera, but I did perform the trick, so it's your decision. Only a 4 second video! Just waste two minutes of your time and win a rosette!

Also, p-mail me after you do. Let's go, pups!

ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, <b>GO!</b>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Goldie is my neighbor's dog and I'll tell you the story from beginning to end...

They found her as a stray when she was a puppy and she is now 11 years old. She's getting very old and recently Mama was petting her and found a lump on her side. It was hardly noticeable, but Mama easily recognizes those kinds of things. Cancer... She brought it to the owners and their answer was, "We don't have enough money to do Kimo on a dog." Mama didn't like this answer, but she understands with the economy and where her neighbors are standing right now.

All we can do is pray fur Goldie. Mama's been thinking that Goldie's been seeing her last days, but now that we know of the cancer and the owners won't do the least as to even bring her to the vet, her days are surely numbered... She's been with this family 10+ years and their kids grew up with her. Any prayers will be appreciated now fur Goldie and her family. 

Thanks!

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dog Training Tip #1 Monday November 2nd, 2009:

When training your dog, you must always be prepared. If you have a playful dog, play with them and then do recall in one smooth motion as in play chase or tug of war and then call them back to you. If you have a dog that comes back right away, then you have a good dog. This is also a great exercise fur outside just in case! ;)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Boy and The Tree 
===================== 

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy 
loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the 
tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... 

He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. 


Time went by... 
The little boy grew up, and he no longer played around the tree 
everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad 
look on his face. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the 
boy. "I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." 
The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." 
"Sorry, I don't have money...but you can pick all my apples and 
sell them so you will have money." 

The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree 
and left happily. The boy didn't come back after he picked the 
apples. The tree was sad. 

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. 
"Come and play with me," the tree said. 
"I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. 
We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" 
"Sorry, I don't have a house, but you can chop off my branches 
to build your house." 

So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. 
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't come back 
afterward. The tree was again lonely and sad. 

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. 
"Come and play with me!" the tree said. 

"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax 
myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your 
boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the 
tree truck to make a boat. He went sailing and didn't come 
back for a long time. 


Finally, the boy returned after he had been gone for so many 
years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you 
anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said. 

"I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied. 

"No more trunk for you to climb on." 

"I am too old for that now" the boy said. "I really can't give 
you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots," the 
tree said with sadness. 

"I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after 
all these years," the boy replied. 

"Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. 
Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree 
was glad and smiled with tears. 

****************** 

This is the story of everyone. 

The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play 
with Mom and Dad... When we grew up, we left them... 
We only came to them when we needed something or when we were in 
trouble. 

No matter what, parents will always be there and give you 
everything they can to make you happy. 

It may seem as if the way the boy treats the "tree" in the story 
is cruel, but many of us take our parents for granted in the 
same way. 

Never forget how important your parents are and try not to take 
them for granted... they may not be around forever.

When training your dog, if you have a dog that loves to play or loves a certain toy it's ALWAYS better to train them with that toy other then treats. It's healthier and increases the bond.

Be waiting fur Monday fur the next training tip!

Okay, now my neighborhood kids were playing with me yesterday. I'll include a pic on my page of what they were doing. They were burrying me in the leaves (under Mama's supervision {with my head out}) and I was a very good girl. We also did search and rescue games such as my kids being burried in the leaves and I'd have to go find them. This was SOOO fun!]]></content:encoded>

Now, Mama has me on a diet. No cheese or tricks till just before Christmas! (She'd go after Christmas, but that would be a crime because so many family members want to see my tricks! BOL!)

Anyway, I'm also on a strict walking schedule and only a little less then one cup of food everyday. At least I'm not being starved! BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So Mama has this purple squishy ball and if you squeeze it little air blows out of the little hole. At first she just had me retrieving it for her, but then she started blowing the air on me to get me interested. I didn't like the air at all and she kept doing it and it became like a game. I had to get my mouth NOT on the hole and squeeze it really hard till Mama said, "Drop it," or, "Leave it!" or, "Drop it, leave it!" 

I had soo much fun and so did Mama! I really loved playing this game and treating the ball like a little birdy or squirrel. It was soo fun! There were just a few times when Mama had to go get the ball from me, but I was very good about bringing it back today.

Mama did other things like leaving the room and telling me to, "Leave it, Ball!" and even doing some of my tricks to be rewarded with the ball. 

Later she brought out a tennisball and I didn't want any of it! Bring me that purple ball, silly Mama!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ With my agility set, Mama's reorganized it so that it one long line and throws a little wiffle ball over the jump and through the tunnel. So far she hasn't added in the weave poles or the pawz box, but she can't wait till we do!

She takes a treat, throws the ball through the first two obstacles and I've gotta go run after them. It's SOOOO pawsome!

The catch is, I have to carry the ball ALL the way back through the tunnel and over the jump. It's still SUCH a fun game, though!

Just wanted to tell Dogster!

THIS IS TRUE &amp; VERIFIED ON SNOPES.COM http: ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Subject Fw: SWIFTER WET JET...KILLS KIDS AND PETS! 


THIS IS TRUE & VERIFIED ON SNOPES.COM http://snopes.com Recently someone had to have their 5 year old German Shepherd dog put down 
due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago, 
so they had a necropsy done to see what the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog was kept inside, and when he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into something unknown was hard to believe. 

My neighbor started going through all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated "may be harmful to small children and animals." 

He called the company to ask what the contents of the cleaning agent are and 
was astounded to find out that antifreeze is one of the ingredients (actually, he was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from antifreeze. Therefore , just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver. Soon after his dog's death, his housekeeper's two cats also died of liver failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as possible they don't lose their animals. 

This is equally harmful to babies and small children that play on the floor a lot and put their fingers in their mouths a lot. 

PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE BABIES, SMALL CHILDREN OR OWN A PET; PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON! YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN OR PETS BUT SOME OF YOU HAVE 
FRIENDS OR FAMILY WITH PETS AND ALSO FAMILIES W ITH GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT 
GRANDCHILDREN.

I was watching the kitty out my window because she was laying around and all of the sudden Oliver the neighbors orange kitty came fur a fight with MY kitty on MY territory!

Mama was in the room and I BARKED as loud as I could because sometimes those glass sliding doors are unpredictable...

Well, after that first bark Oliver ran away. That stimulated me to bark even LOUDER and MORE! I jumped at the window so Mama grabbed my collar and brought me out. It was just like that one night! I barked and barked and Mama held me back with my collar. I walked on my hind legs with front paws in the air just like a police dog again!

Mama watched till she was sure Oliver was in a spot that couldn't hurt me at all and let me go. I ran as fast as I pawsibly could! It was SOOO fast! It was like RACING GREYHOUND speed!

That kitty won't be back any time soon! ANOTHER success story when the PUGGLE'S on the JOB!  BOL!

 ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, I have two of these "Coincidences" to share with you pups.

The first was a Lil' Critter!

Mama went out back with me (because of the Copperheads) and saw some birds caught in our padio thing. The padio thing has a table and chairs underneath a four poled tent in my yard and a mosquito net on the tent. There were two birds altogether stuck in there and while I was sniffing out some squirrels Mama went to help them out. 

First she tried to scare them out and move them out the small opening, but then she tried to catch them. The kitty thought she'd help too.

Mama had one of the birdies cornered but then it flew low. That's when Chelsea got it! *teamwork* Chelsea with one smooth and easy scoop of the paw put the bird in it's place on the ground. In doing so she scared the other bird out, so there was the one bird left laying on it's back on the ground. 

Mama thought the kitty broke it's back, but that wasn't the case. It was just a smart birdy waiting there! I finally saw and went into the action. The birdy was on the ground right next to the little crack I could stick my nose under. I went in to sniff and Chelsea (with claws DEtracted) took a swat at me to keep me away from her kill. I readily stepped back and waited till Chelsea wasn't looking. It didn't take very long, but as soon as she looked away I reached my nose under, picked up the birdy, spun around and through it into the air!

I sat there and watched it fly away. The birdy didn't wanna play???? 

Well, at least he's happy and he'll live fur ME to catch him some other day!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 2nd Lil' Critter!

Mama now comes outside and watches me because there's venomous snakes around (Copperheads) and with even one bite I could potentially die! Mama just watches me to make sure this doesn't happen.

One day she was standing there and I went over to the back left corner of our yard. (this was where Mama saw the Copperhead slither away when she reached down to get something) I was chasing something over there and Mama saw the grass move. In the way it was moving Mama KNEW it was a snake.

She called me back right away but I didn't come. I couldn't hear her because of that snake! She ran inside and got my whistle and blew it. When she blew it I finally heard something and looked over. She blew it again and said, "Here, Annie!" and I went running. She got the whistle! She was serious! Maybe I shouldn't play with those snakes anymore...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, it's true!

One of Mama's friends came to the door and instead of just ringing the doorbell once they rang it multiple times with no breaks in between because it was a joke so Mama came to the door and opened it widely and I was so excited from hearing that doorbell so many times I just RAN out the door like I use to! It was time to PLAY!

All of the sudden, I was only a few yards away running full speed and hear Mama say, "NO!" and I turned around. She said, "Here, Annie!" and I jogged back over to Mama. I know that that means GAME OVER so I went right back to the shower of praise and love!

Mama uses a leash to make a "splint" to hold my paw up and says, "Annie, Come Limp," and I have to go. The paw in the splint can't touch the ground or Mama says, "No," and I don't get the treat. If she says, "Yes!" or "Good dog!" I get a treat. I can't do it without a leash on my paw or I'll just normally walk... Like Mama says, it's a long hard process to train your dog all these tricks. I've still got a long way to go, but must keep Dogster updated! ;D

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So Mama's been doing her research. Copperheads COULD very well and easily kill me! Full grown men have been known to lose function of their arm or leg because of these bites!

North Carolina is known fur having the most reported bites from these snakes. 

The habitat fur them by the creek is grrreat, but like I said they're getting cold! The water's getting cold and so are the woods surrounding it so they're coming up here and looking fur other  debris or turf to hide under. Usually from October to February these snakes hide away, so the good news is we WILL get a break! :D

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama was laying in bed at 9:00 last night because she had to be up early for work the next day so she was starting to turn it down when she heard the kitty screaming in the back yard. She was obviously fighting with something!

I heard it too! I was at the back door whining my head off and then Mama came and was a little scared. I picked up that energy and started Barking! Bark BARK BARK!!!! Mama grabbed my collar and went out into the darkness! I barked my head off walking on hind legs Mama holding my collar, BARKING! (May have woke the neighbors... Sorry Goldie!) Hey, I looked like a police dog being held fur fire! Mama just didn't let me go because she wasn't sure what the kitty was fighting...

After about 20 seconds of barking our kitty ran back under the porch and Mama moved closer and closer slowly to where the other kitty was thought to be (but it was dark...) I kept barking! Now, I never bark keep in mind, unless one of my furamily members is in DANGER!

I stopped barking and Mama let me loose. I ran around that yard like there was no tomorrow!

Our kitty was real shook up... Mama put me inside after much praise (in German coincidentally) and slowly guided the kitty out with her food. That's something she CAN'T RESIST! 

The kitty hissed once and was GROWLING at Mama! I was so scared fur her! I just wanted to kiss her ears and make her feel better... I was worried she'd be really mean like that the rest of her life! I was relieved to give her a little kissy on her tummy and smell her in the morning and she was just fine! She was nice too!

I SAVED THE DAY (or night...)

Puggle loves!

P.S.- And I'd be happy to do it again if the evil kitty fighting MY kitty on MY territory was OLIVER our neighbor kitty! :-P BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here's our Copperhead tale from beginning to end!

We use to go to the creek ALL THE TIME but now it's never... We heard from reliable sources that that's where the breeding and raising of these (deadly to me, but humans would live) snakes! Their head is huge and they have brown scales with black diamonds on their back.

They do have venom, but it's not deadly to humans. Me on the other hand... Maybe! :-/

One snake about two feet long squished on the road, one squished six inch baby, another squished six inch baby, one snake who's head was caught in the fence with it's mouth opened, strangled.

This is dangerous, and if it were up to Mama these snakes wouldn't be around. The only comfort is, they should stay closer to the creek and our neighborhood is down-hill us at the top and the creek is at the bottom, but the strangled snake was in Mama's neighbor's fence and one of the six inch babies was across the street!

Oh yeah! Mama was screwing a part of the fence back together and dropped a screw. She reached down to get it and a young, but large Copperhead slithered away! It was VERY risky and now Mama doesn't leave me outside alone anymore!

Well, that's our scary news! We'll keep you posted on more!

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hmmm... A bit more about ME!

We have a kitty that I just LOVE but she doesn't really like me too much... I came into the picture after her brother was hit by a car... The kitty'll take a swipe at me sometimes, but I love her and she loves me (sometimes). I like bathing her (away from the face and front paws since I don't want her to get my nose!) but she'll give me a lil' bath every once in a while too! 

She loves getting a birdy or a mousy and then leaving them where I'll find them because she knows that I love 'em! 

While sometimes she takes a swat, she still loves me. It's been almost two years since I've lived with her and she's gotten use to me and I've gotten grrrreat reflexes!!! BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama just recently looked at a posting on Amazon that talked about how Pit Bulls are looked down on. This was a terrible-dog-owner's response!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's really a shame that people keep on saying the exact same thing. 'Well I know someone with pit bulls that are really nice. I'm not afraid of them at all! It's just bad owners that have pit bulls that attack people'.

Look, it's not just the owners that cause pit bulls to attack people. A large number of pit bull stories report that the dog was really nice, had nice owners, and had lots of harmless contact with a person the pit subsequently killed or maimed. Pits have jaws that are extremely strong, and when the pit makes a mistake it can kill. When a different breed of dog attacks, it has to try a lot harder to make injuries anywhere near as serious as a pit's. Pits kill more people than all other breeds combined by a tremendous margin.

I have a few friends who have one of these dogs (all of which are well behaved and lovely dogs whenever I visit them). I understand why some people prefer the breed. When I see pit bull owners, I think they are probably nice people who mean no harm. But I also realize that they have a very dangerous animal and no matter how many years that dog is well behaved or how great the dog's treatment is, the potential for killing a kid will always remain. And a huge part of the reason kids die, such as the kid who died last week in my hometown, is that so many people pretend that it's just 'bad owners' who raise deadly pits. Yeah, of course bad owners raise worse behaved dogs, but all pits need to be treated with extreme care. Never allow a pit to play with a child without considering the risks. 

Like swimming, using a power saw, petting a tiger, or firing a gun, kids are exposed to lots of risky things and it's important for adults to have a plan and manage risks. It's a shame that some people think this kind of assessment is somehow unfair to dogs. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mama's Response:

Pit Bulls are dogs as much as the next. You also must take into consideration that the Pit Bull does NOT have the strongest bite.

Rottweiler
German Shepherd
PIT BULL

That's the line-up and that's what  people look over! 

While Pits have been bred to attack at a certain point, there are many that wouldn't hurt a fly no less kill or maim a child! 

People must take into consideration how many Pit Bulls die each HOUR from doggie-racism! Pit Bulls bare the brunt for their breed from many people. Have you ever considered how many stories there are of Pit Bulls SAVING human lives as oposed to injuring or killing? Look it up and be amazed! 

People may say that Pit Bulls are terrible dogs, but it truly is terrible TRAINING that is against them. If you think about it, people could say that their dog has been perfect but they never mention how much training they put in!

Take it from a professional trainer, Pit Bulls are of the BEST of dogs and we'd own one now if we could!

One of my life dreams is now opening up a non-profit Pit Bull rescue. I'd really appreciate if you didn't talk down Pits as if a bratty Chihuahua was any better then a melancholy Pit Bull (which there are lots of)!!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Still nothing new on our computer... We probably lost all our memory! Uh oh... 

The ways that I've changed in this past year are remarkable! I'm much more out-going like I'll actually whine and bark on and off command! It's so pawsome! I'm much more close to Mama and my hunting instincts have been slightly toned down so I don't run away anymore. I'm much mroe obedient, smart, protective, but still sweet as ever and if anything sweeter! Mama says I'm the puppy she's always dreamed of and she's so happy I'm hers. 

Yesterday Mama found the Copperhead that she's had problems with. One day she was outside and she reached to grab something and a Copperhead slithered away right where she reached! Lucky I wasn't out there or that Copperhead would be dead! Anyway, she found the snake run over by a car, smooshed flat on the road! She's glad he's gone and hope he doesn't have any RELATIVES nearby!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ "Want to know what I see? I see somebody hitting me. They call it spanking me, but it's hitting me and I don't get it! It hurts! Hmmm... What should I do? Next time they hit me, I'll bite them!"

*The next day, this Pitties owner comes back from work and the neighbors kids are playing in the front yard. The fenced yard is supposedly proofed so he can't get out but he finds a way...*

"Heh, look! Some kids! I'll dig out!"

*Kids are playing with a soccer ball and kicked the ball over to the dog accidentally*

"Why are these kids coming to me? They just kicked that at me! Hmmm... They're running at me! I've never seen that before! I'm scared!"

*Child doesn't know any better and goes to pet the dog on the head*

"What is this kid doing? My body-language is telling him that I'm uncomfortable and angry! I'm snarling, my tail is up, I'm crouched down, growling... This kid is clueless!"

*SNAP!*  We all know what that means..... It all happened in a flash, but this Pittie bit the child's hand. It was so small, it went strait into the dog's mouth and sure would leave a mark on the hand... The Pittie didn't know it hurt! Soon all these sirens came and these big men chased it! It was so scared, then it's owner that it looked to for comfort grabbed it's collar! That was scary, but it trusted him. The other men came, but it trusted it's owner... The men had a big needle. It hurt, but the dog felt tired and fell to the ground in exhaustion. What happened?

"Wh.... What? I just woke up in this place... It smells funny... There's strange people! I'm tired! It's a cage... I only go into this when I'm bad at home! Where is home? Who's that lady walking towards me? Where's my owner? Another needle!? NO! Owner! Whimper! Whimper!"

And it was all over...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, she does! 

She says Sit, Lay Down, Gimme that paw, Come, Heel, Good Dog, and more in German to me now because she's decided that when she gets her Doberman she'll train it in German mostly just fur fun, but it gives her experience with another language and the ability to understand what others communicate to their dogs.

Mama's decided to not teach me my tricks in German since that would take FUREVER even with a smart lil' brain like mine, but I just couldn't handle all that in even a few days, my brain would EXSPLODE! BOL!

Mama's also not fluent at all in German and had to start from scratch and it's a grrrreat learning experience fur her too!

Well, I just wanted to be sure you pups knew that!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is just another day - to me they're all the same
I have the worst of genes you see, I bear the "Staffy" shame.
The shame is in our numbers, there's thousands with no home.
Thousands just like me you'll find, in kennels all alone.
My mum was "just a Staffy", my father - well who knows?
Mum, too, became unwanted, as the last puppy goes.
And then begins the process, of money-making deals
A life of "moving on" unfolds, who cares how the Staffy feels?
If you have the cash to hand, the Staffy pup is yours

But that pup is getting bigger now, just look at those big paws.
You brought me for your image, thought I'd make you look more tough
But you'll find my boisterous nature has already got too much.
If you had thought to train me, with kindness and with praise
You would have had a faithful friend to share your darkest days.
I would lay down my life for you, but you simply cannot see
You make sure you get your money back on what you paid for me.

And on it goes, until one day, I'm no longer worth a dime
The retail on an adult staff - not worth the waste of time.
So what happens to a Staffy now? Do you really want to know?
Do you care what will become of us, when we leave our final home?
Have you ever thought to wonder, "Where is that Staffy now?"
The "Staffy" has another name; he's become a "stray" somehow.
Me, I was put into a car and driven far away

The door held open, I jumped out, I thought to run and play.
It was with joy and happy heart I turned to look for you
You drove away with all my trust and a piece of my heart too.
I wondered round for many days before I was brought here.
Now I wait with heavy heart, trepidation and with fear.
Seven days is all I have you see, seven days for you to claim
The little dog that you threw out, for which you have no shame.
This is my last goodbye now my seven days are up
If only more thought had gone into the future of that pup
As the needle empties to my veins I lay down with one last sigh
I'm sorry I was born a Staffy, because it means that I must die.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, I'm soooo excited and so is Mama! We just got it about a half hour ago and only used it fur about twenty minutes (split, not strait) and I know how to do everything and the only one that falls short of perfect is the weave poles because I've never seen them in my life!

Mama even raised the high jump so high it would have been easier to go under it without ducking but I CLEARED it!!!! WOW!!!!

At first I was trying to retrieve the pawz box ribbons fur Mama, but now I'm doing it right! I did great with the tunnel altogether and the jump is really easy fur me to do when its low, Mama was only challenging me with it being VERY high! The jump is only one bar, so I could go under but decided not to. :D

Mama says the jump was about 1.5 feet in the air and I did it GRRRREAT! (she raised it slowly so it wasn't so drastic...)

On the weave poles, there's six poles and I usually do about 4 perfect so we just need to work on those a bit.

On the pawz box it's just ribbons on the ground so I though I'd pick 'em up and bring 'em to Mama, but they were stuck! It became a tug-of-war! I didn't know that what I was supposed to do was to lay down in it, BOL!

I'm a PERFECTIONIST at the tunnel! That was the first thing Mama did and I couldn't do any better!

The stop-watch needs batteries, but Mama says I got a 9.5 out of ten today on my first few tries! I'm so proud!

Thanks, and by the paw, ALWAYS comment on my diary when you read it pawleeze! Even if you have nothing to say, at least post *bump*!

 ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BTW, I edited my arrival story, so if you have time to read this entry, read my arrival story!!!

<b>30 of THIS Puggle's Life Rules:</u></b>

1. Hunting is only important on command
2. Listening can gives you a treat, so there's always a reason
3. Try your best to learn, there's more of a chance fur a treat!
4. When you see the leash move or hear it jingle, get all excited because even if Mama wasn't planning on taking you fur a walk she can't resist!
5. Be sure to annoy the kitty, it's fun!
6. The work "Bye-bye" is the worst word in the entire Arrf!
7. "Go in your bed" means go in your bed. It's not such a bad place...
8. Don't chew on things, bark at people, or <i>go</i> in the house! Consequences aren't fun! :((
9. Just because the dog food is out doesn't mean you have to eat it, wait till you're hungry!
10. Mama's a sucker fur me laying in her lap!
11. I can't always have my way
12. ALWAYS listen off leash or Mama will freak out and that's NOT fun!
13. Stay out of Mama's Mama's room but sneaking in Mama's is fine as long as she's in there because that's the only time it's worth it.
14. Always be sure to do your special "Annie Lay" which is laying on your tummy with your head down in between your paws and your back paws laying flat out the back. It's too cute!
15. Obedience may not seem like the best thing, but Mama gives me a lot and she loves it when I pay her back with obedience
16. Everyone loves my tricks. Do them my best with an audience!
17. You're never too tired to get that squirrel!
18. Meeting new dogs is part of my purpose!
19. When you're at the creek, always make sure you can stand in every part so you don't sink under and get scared!
20. Never misbehave on walks so Mama will want to take you again and again and again!
21. Don't whine or bark because I've never done it before and let's not start now!
22. Leave it means Leave it and Take it means Take it!
23. Always look out the window when Mama's out and make sure I don't have to bite any bad guys' butts!
24. Separation Anxiety isn't good and isn't bad!
25. Company is too important to leave all alone!
26. You only NEED to go potty once a day!
27. Don't be scared of the bike, it's just another transportation fur the WALK!
28. It Mama says "Go in your bed" go and lay on her lap and maybe she'll furget about it... (Mama says NOT!!!)
29. Go CRAZZY fur bones and mama will get them more often.
30. Always remember who's in authority!

Well, that's just a few of my important things in my life. Hope you enjoyed 'em and feel free to make your own in your diary!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm learnin' up on agility! Today Mama was using a real box as my pawz box, sturdy; round pillows as jumps, a obstacle type thing as a tunnel, and a few other items like a clicker, couch cussion, and many more!

Mama's ordering an agility set fur home (not the usual because one jump would cost about $80.00 which is too much fur Mama right now)

The agility set she ordered comes with weaving poles, pause box, one jump, one open tunnel, start/finish line, ribbons, instruction manuel, and a stop watch. She's getting all that at a really great deal, but it's not exactly REAL high quality agility. She'd have to pay training lessons at some place or something but doing it at home is loads of fun too!!!!

		<description>Not Content With Attacking Pit Bulls, Brian Rudman Now Turns on Americans
Submitted by Ryan O'Meara ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ </u></b>Not Content With Attacking Pit Bulls, Brian Rudman Now Turns on Americans</b></u>
Submitted by Ryan O'Meara on August 24, 2009 – 8:39 am5 Comments

Last week New Zealand Herald columnist Brian Rudman urged Pit Bull owners to consider following the lead of a fellow New Zealander by cracking the skull of their dog and throwing it on the barbecue. The hapless hack has stirred up an international backlash and now he’s whining about people saying nasty things about him.In a piece in the Herald entitled Support for Rudman’s ‘pit bull on a barbie’ column – a piece which states:

    The email feedback was almost universally opposed to Rudman’s comments until this article was published.

and contains one, solitary message of support from a well-educated Canadian who says:

    “Hello From Canada, I agree 100% with your article. Throw all the pit bulls on the barbie along with similar attack dogs. These killer instinct dogs have no place in modern society. The owners of these killer instinct dogs should be held accountable for the pit bull attacks. I say in cases of unprovoked attacks force the owners to watch their pit bull roasting on the barbie.”

Rudman goes on to make a classic defensive move known as the “I know you are, you said you are” rebuttal. It is a strategic move often learned – and, to be fair, usually left – at nursery school, when, instead of addressing what he said, he simply castigates everyone who doesn’t share his brutal philosophy that cracking dogs on the head with a hammer and then cooking them is the sort of advice that should be offered in a national newspaper.

    “If the abusive and threatening tirade from US pit bull owners is representative, then is it any wonder that their pets have learnt to be equally aggressive and life threatening?

    “If they’d read past the headline they’d have realised my column wasn’t specifically about pit bulls at all.”

May we just remind you, in case you missed it, what Rudman opened his column with:

    The SPCA and the Minister of Agriculture, David Carter, are baying for the blood of Paea Taufa for bopping his pit bull on the head and recycling it in a backyard umu. They should be giving him a medal. If every pit bull owner in the land followed his lead, New Zealand would be a safer place to live.

Funny how he singled out Americans. No mention of the UK, rest of the world or even his fellow New Zealander’s who have written things such as:

    I disagree with Rudman’s comments completely If I ran the New Zealand Herald I would sack Rudman right away he is scum and the New Zealand media would be a much better place without the man

He obviously enjoys pointing the finger where it suits him. Ignoring the facts in order to just propagate hos own prejudices, hate and ignorant opinion wherever it suits. It’s not a totally new tactic. Many other groups share the same ideology.

Remember this though, people should look past the headlines and the calls encouraging Pit Bull owners to smash their dog’s skulls in, they should be prepared to realise that Crudman’s column isn’t about Pit Bulls at all!

Well, that’s fair enough. This column isn’t about Brian Rudman being a hate-filled, ignorant extremist  with a shared ethos of the world’s most notorious, outdated hate groups. It’s not about that at all. No, it’s about chickens. See, I wrote the word chicken right at the end. So, hopefully Brian Crudman will understand this column is not about the fact that he has made a laughing stock of the New Zealand Herald, propagated the sort of hateful language usually associated with the KKK and other extremist groups and, more to the point, encouraged people to kill their own dogs via a national newspaper column. The New Zealand Herald, you can hardly turn the other cheek now, you commissioned this dolt. Err, I mean chicken. This column is about chickens, not Brian Crudman.

She promised Ralphie, her neighbor, and Kato a clicker so she'll get a red and a blue (Cheryl and Ralphie pick) and a blue fur Goldie, our neighbor; also a red one fur Kato to get after Cheryl picks. It'll be pawsome, but because of stinkin' Panera I can't go...

Oh well!

Mama's also about to get an agility set off of Amazon.com. She has the money and agility stuff at home is SOOO expensive (as in $80.00 for a jump). The set Mama will get includes a start/finish line, pause box, weaving polls, tunnel, one high jump, ribbons, start/stop watch, and an instruction manuel fur about $30.00 so mama knows she's getting a grrreat deal! She'll have to add as many pics as possible and show a few videos of me on our agility set, but we need to get if furst, BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ "Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF (i.e., dog bite related fatalities) reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through1992, and Rottweilers were responsible for about half of human DBRF reported during the 4 years from 1993 through 1996....[T]he data indicate that Rottweilers and pit bull-type dogs accounted for 67% of human DBRF in the United States between 1997 and 1998. It is extremely unlikely that they accounted for anywhere near 60% of dogs in the United States during that same period and, thus, there appears to be a breed-specific problem with fatalities." (Sacks JJ, Sinclair L, Gilchrist J, Golab GC, Lockwood R. Breeds of dogs involved in fatal human attacks in the United States between 1979 and 1998. JAVMA 2000;217:836-840.)

The Clifton study of attacks from 1982 through 2006 produced similar results. According to Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes were responsible for 65% of the canine homicides that occurred during a period of 24 years in the USA. (Clifton, Dog attack deaths and maimings, U.S. & Canada, September 1982 to November 13, 2006; click here to read it.)

Other breeds were also responsible for homicides, but to a much lesser extent. A 1997 study of dog bite fatalities in the years 1979 through 1996 revealed that the following breeds had killed one or more persons: pit bulls, Rottweilers, German shepherds, huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Doberman pinschers, chows, Great Danes, St. Bernards and Akitas. (Dog Bite Related Fatalities," Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, May 30, 1997, Vol. 46, No. 21, pp. 463 et. seq.) Since 1975, fatal attacks have been attributed to dogs from at least 30 breeds.

The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family's Pomeranian dog. The average weight of a Pomeranian is about 4 pounds, and they are not thought of as a dangerous breed. Note, however, that they were bred to be watchdogs! The baby's uncle left the infant and the dog on a bed while the uncle prepared her bottle in the kitchen. Upon his return, the dog was mauling the baby, who died shortly afterwards. ("Baby Girl Killed by Family Dog," Los Angeles Times, Monday, October 9, 2000, Home Edition, Metro Section, Page B-5.)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First off, did you know that if you pull into the drive-thru at Chick-Fil-A with a dog in the front passenger seat they'll give you a free dog treat? I sure thought that was cool!

Today mama took me to Petco. She got a clicker, treats, a dental rawhide (which I won't have till tomorrow morning), and a Petti paws nail filer.

I loved being in the store and seeing that other doggy. He was probably an 80 lb. lab puppy and he had a gentle leader on so he wasn't pulling. I was pulling because I wanted to see him. Our noses touched at one point, but other then that I didn't really get to see him. One of the Petco workers really liked me and came up to give me a lil' treat. I liked her too!

I threw up at the end of the day. It could have been from eating in the car, it could have been from the waffle fry crumbs I shouldn't have been given, or it could have been from digging and eating something I wasn't supposed to since I had some dirt on my nose. No one knows!

Anyway, I already understand the clicker and one of Mama's neighbors from down the road came up with Kato and she agreed to take the training classes so Mama will have some extra money. Kato came today and I did SOOOO good with not pulling, being off leash while he was here and not going to him, and listening to Mama. I think the clicker helped bunches with that!

Also, Ralphie the neighbors Bichon Frise has agreed to take some classes. He's well behaved, but has some problems when off leash so Mama's going to tackle that. 

Can't wait!

Puggle loves!
Highly-trained Annie!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama got me a new blue leash and is now taking me fur tons of walks on her BIKE! I love it because sometimes I have to run to keep up and I'm not quite strong enough to pull her over if I see another dog even though I don't pull anymore! BOL!

So far, no pups want to be trained in our neighborhood! Mama's been putting some business cards in the mailboxes she knows have bad doggies that need training along with their owners.

Mama's also trying to go get a clicker fur me. She was thinking of buying one fur me online, but she'd have to pay almost ten dollars fur a 1.50 clicker with shipping!!!!! BOL!

She'll just take me to Pet Smart ASAP so she can also get the Petty Paws nail trimmer to help me out with that.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a Pit Bull.
I sit by the street
and see all who pass my loving seat.

The grass is worn,
I've sat here days...
Waiting for that that will change my ways.

I mean no harm
Yet here I sit...
Not one person have I ever bit.

News travels fast...
I'm known 'round town
Yes, my breed has made me quite renown.

"Pit Bull," says he.
"Don't get attached!
I wish the pound that dog they might catch!"

I keep going
I try to show
that I can love, and that love will grow.

All I can do
Is sit here, wait
For that human, that human great.

One day she comes
With dog at side!
Oh, I was so excited... I cried!

Yes, it was her.
She'd heard of me!
She came over and she set me free!

Free from that world,
That state of mind
Which kept me from any good and kind.

Word spread again
but not of me.
Of my owner taking me, you see...

People are bad
I've learned this now...
Oh, now it's very clear to me how...

..All Pit Bulls die...
...Rottweilers...
... Dobermans, Chows, Shepherds, and others...

All innocent,
creatures of God!
People live a world of lies and fraud!

Pit Bulls like me
are by the street.
Waiting for their human soon to meet.

You may be they
so pleasured to
be the human the Pit Bull will choose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider this my pup friends. Pit Bulls are innocently dying out there. We must fight for these dogs. All help is appreciated!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's a "Not Now" situation. Pawrarents would like to wait till they can feel comfortable paying fur two pups vet bills till we get a new puppy, and I assure you that's not too far down the road... That also works in Mama's favor because maybe now she'll be able to get that adorable lil' female Delgado she's been wanting! She's the cutest little pup! Here's what mama wants....

Female
Any Color
Quite big... (Doberman, Lab, GSD...)
Friendly to dogs and people (or significantly trainable)
Little to no cost
Vaccinations and Spaying done
Young/Puppy


This stuff is very easy to find on Craigs List, so once Mama gets the OK on the puppy that'll be her first stop. After that if she doesn't find one (Which I highly doubt she won't...) She'll check Pet Finder.com and try it out. She'd definitely prefer Craigs List, though.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Mama has a new job! Guess what it is?!? HER OWN DOG TRAINING BUSINESS!!! She runs it partnered with her neighbor who does plenty of her secretary work. As her website gets built, she'll give you the web address... Thanks!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama sent many puppies on adds from Craigs List to grandpa but he rejected each saying that he only wanted Sadie. He really did love her and we can see he was hurt by her leaving.

Anyway, Mama searched SO long and SOOOOO hard and she successfully found this puppy on Craigs List. Here's the add:

<u><b>FREE 14wk black lab female NEEDS TO GO!!</b></u>

<i> (Article 1)I have had a ton of calls and people who email and say they want to come see her, only to not show up. Someone PLEASE give this little girl a home. Our neighbors were abusing her and we managed to buy her off of them but now she needs a real home- we do not have the room for her here, or the money to feed her, get her shots, etc. She is a VERY sweet puppy, loves attention, listens well, is doing great on housetraining, gets along great with dogs, kids, cats and birds and everything- she just needs to find her fur-ever home. She is supposedly purebred, but I have no paperwork to verify this.

(Article 2) Free puppy from neglect situation- my neighbors took her in and have NOT been taking care of her (No food, shelter, water etc, we have been sneaking over and feeding her and I put a crate out there for shelter but she had NOTHING), we finally convinced them to let us find her a new home. She is a black lab (mix) with a little white on her chest, she is EXTREMELY playful and loving and loves kids. She has had NO shots and needs to have shots and deworming. She is probably about 12 weeks old. She LOVES other dogs. Please someone give her a home where she will be loved! If theres a rescue group that will take her that is great too!


FREE to a good inside only home- she is not to be a yard or chain dog!<i>

I've changed the barkground to a beautiful mixture of blues. I also changed the fonts to match the barkground.

After I did that I added me with a few speech bubbles under my tricks section. One says, "Did you say 'Do you wanna?" because whenever Mama says that she means "Do you wanna go for a WALK!" and I get all excited, but that time she said "Do you wanna go for a... (then I got real excited) BATH!" and I was still excited. Well, not for long!!!! BOL!

Hope you enjoyed trying to figure those out till now!

By the way, my only successful puzzle-completer was Callie! Thanks Callie my Labby friend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <u>The Anatomy of a Dog Attack</u>

<i>Submitted by Ryan O'Meara on August 10, 2009 – 9:47 am</i>

“Out of the blue, it attacked for no reason”

When a dog attack is reported we will often hear the same old phrases bandied about.

“It came out of the blue”

“It was totally unprovoked”

“We didn’t see it coming”

“It was totally out of character”

Ring any bells? Well let’s try and understand how and why a dog might attack someone.

Dogs rarely, if ever, attack for no reason. Us humans often misinterpret a dog attacking “out of the blue” and “without warning”‘ because we simply missed the signs.

Let’s be clear about one thing. A dog who is prepared to bite someone has his reasons. Can we, as humans, justify those reasons using the social values of people? Probably not. But of course, dogs do not live their lives according to human social values.

Here is the story of John, Henry and Max.

max-black-labradorJohn has no wife or children. For the last five years he’s lived with his best friend in the world a playful Labrador called Max.

John is exited today. Henry, an old friend from school who he hasn’t seen for many years is visiting.

John decides today would be a good day to get his garden tidied, make a good impression on his old school chum.

As John gets busy in amongst the weeds in the front garden, he spies his old mate making his way up the street.

Henry’s been looking forward to catching up with John for weeks and, as he’s never been to his home before, finds himself feeling somewhat jubilant to realise he’s managed to find the street on which John lives without too much trouble and can now relish the prospect of seeing his friend again as well as finally getting to meet the only true love of John’s life, the much talked about Max.

It’s a hot and sunny day and Henry is wearing his sunglasses. Further up the street he spots John working in his front garden.

John’s already noticed Henry making his way towards him and yells out, “Hi Henry. Fancy a beer?”

Henry shouts back, “Sounds just the job. Can you believe this heat?”.

As per usual, Max has been ‘helping’ John with his gardening exploits by digging holes of his own all over the lawn. John doesn’t mind. He only wanted the garden so he could have somewhere safe to play fetch with Max on sunny days like today. He’s never been one for trying to keep it immaculate when Max’s favourite hobby is trying to tunnel his way to China.

Max has stopped his gardening though. He’s become preoccupied by the exchange between John and Henry and he’s taken a trip the front gate to see what’s going on.

“I wonder who this bloke is?” ponders Max.

“Why would he and John be shouting at other?” he thinks to himself.

“I’d better be on full alert.” he concludes. “John’s just shouted at this chap so he obviously wants me to keep an eye out.”

Max fixes himself in position at the front gate and hoists his tail high into the air, he’s keen to let the oncoming stranger know he’s about.

John doesn’t notice.

Henry’s still coming. So Max decides he needs to be more clear. He starts to emit a deep, low growl in Henry’s direction just to make certain the stranger who’s purposely striding towards him, his owner and HIS garden is left in no uncertain terms that he’s not moving

Henry’s still coming. And now he’s close enough for Max to notice his sunglasses. “This is getting more serious by the second”, thinks Max. “He’s not only not listening to me, he’s staring right at me. I know, I’ll stare right back at him. See if he’s as brave then.”

Problems. Henry is still as brave. To Max, Henry’s sunglasses look like wide, staring eyes, boring straight ahead and as he marches staunchly toward the increasingly anxious Labrador, Max wonders what his next move might be. As body language goes, Henry is showing all the signs of refusing to listen to Max’s advice.

Now tense and feeling genuinely threatened, Max is offered an escape. John jogs inside to fetch a couple of bottles of beer and Max is only too pleased to hurriedly follow his master. Max is somewhat relieved to suspect that John, his idol, is just as scared as he is about the relentless stranger pursuing them both from outside the garden gate.

“Shut the door John, shut the door” Max worries. “He’s still coming and you haven’t closed the door”.

Too late. Max’s heart leaps as he hears the gate swing open. Too late.

His worst fears are confirmed. The unrelenting Henry is now purposefully  making his way up the garden path and toward the the house where Max and John are isolated, cornered and in Max’s case, petrified.

Gathering up every ounce of his canine courage and without a second’s thought for his own safety Max charges out of the house, tail hoisted aloft and barking his war cry as loud as his voice will muster. He heads straight for Henry wondering why this stalking maniac refused to listen to all of his earlier warnings.

“You might kill me but you’ll never take John”, Max decides.

Henry, his face very quickly drained of all its colour, is shocked and taken aback to be confronted by a clearly furious Max, the dog he’d heard so many nice stories about from doting John. This isn’t at all the dog he thought he’d be meeting.

Henry, alarmed and frightened makes his way toward Max, attempting to offer a hand of reassurance and friendship.

Max is having none of it.

“John warned you. Then I warned you. Why wouldn’t you just listen?”, reasoned Max.

Undeterred by Henry’s advance and determined not to let his owner come to any harm, Max lunges in Henry’s direction.

The realisation that Max is a long way past the stage of being able to be pacified dawns on Henry fast and he hastily tries to beat a retreat back out of the gate from which he entered.

John, hearing the commotion and now panic stricken by Max’s attack bellows “No! Max, no.”

Acutely tuned to his owner’s emotions and sensing the fear and alarm in John’s voice, Max forges ahead and launches into a full scale attack on Henry.

And then, as quick as it began, it was over.

An ambulance arrives to take Henry away and, hearing the commotion, John’s neighbours have summoned the Police.

John can be heard explaining, “He’s never done anything like this before“, the attack came “totally out of the blue“, Max was always “such a trustworthy dog“, he’s “never shown any signs of aggression in his life“, the attack was “totally unprovoked“.

But we know differently don’t we?

<b>Let’s look again at how Max saw things unfold:

   1. Max spots a man walking toward his and his owner’s garden - ‘his territory’
   2. Not unduly worried, Max paid little attention to the stranger until John shouted in Henry’s direction. To Max, this was a clear signal to ‘watch for danger’
   3. Obediently, Max sat at the front gate and watched for that danger.
   4. He attempted to signal to Henry by putting his tail in the air and growling, that he was prepared to defend his owner and territory.
   5. As Henry gets closer, Max again postures but now spots Henry’s aggressive body language, his wide eyes refusing to overt their gaze a clear signal of intent. Henry’s point blank refusal to alter his path, a sure fire gesture of defiance.
   6. As John runs inside, Max’s thoughts turn to escape. He now believes John is as scared as he is and they should both seek shelter from the safety of the house.
   7. Too late. As Henry enters the garden (Max and John’s territory) Max does what he thinks his owner needs him to do. He defends against the threat.
   8. As Henry runs away and John panics, Max takes this as a sign that he should increase his attack, his canine instincts now in complete overdrive.</b>

So let us again question whether John was correct when he explained to Police that Max’s attack was unprovoked.

Was it unprovoked? Not at all.

Was it unjustified in human, social terms? Absolutely.

Was it avoidable? Totally.

The Aftermath

Henry, his pain eased only slightly by drugs lies motionless in a hospital bed and starts to face the reality that a visit to see a dear, old friend has left him disfigured for the rest of his life. He ponders how best to explain to his young children that he’s still their Dad even though he knows his mutilated features will upset them deeply. He wonders how life will be from now on, how people will react to him.

Max, confused and still frightened by the terrifying ordeal earlier in the day is now wondering why he’s found himself confined to a small, secure cage at the vet surgery.

He stares through the bars and looks longingly towards the door, hoping against hope that he will soon be reunited with his trusted friend and master, John.

Unbeknown to Max, he’ll never see John again.

As the door swings open, Max’s tail momentarily begins to wag but he’s deflated. It’s not John. It’s a vet nurse.

He’s still pleased to see her. He’s lonely and upset and he just wants to go home and be with his friend.

He’s too pre-occupied to wonder why the vet nurse seems so wary of him. Wanting to put her at ease, he submissively offers up his paw. As the vet nurse holds it, she carefully shaves a small patch of fur away from his leg.

Max didn’t even notice the injection.

On this day it wasn’t only Max’s body that was destroyed as John’s  memories of a kind, gentle, fun loving dog died too.

He asks himself once more, “Why did my dog attack someone for no reason?”

John may never know it, but Max had his reasons.

Dogs do not bite people without reason. They do not attack out of the blue. They do not launch into savage, frenzied assaults without provocation despite what you will undoubtedly read in news reports when the next dog attack hits the press.

There are NO devil dogs. There are NO unprovoked dog attacks. There IS a huge gap in understanding amongst some dog owners about why dogs attack and until we can bridge that gap in education people will continue to be attacked and more and more dogs will join Max, their memories destroyed along with their bodies.

Killing individual dog breeds is not the solution to a problem whicn runs throughs an entire species. Oh, and if you were left in any doubt, that species isn’t canine.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have an anonymous pup who confronted me on a diary entry that wasn't true. I deleted the entry and would like to say sorry to that anonymous and that I had no idea if it were true or not. It was a forwarded e-mail and I just wanted to post it on Dogster because it sounded really cool. I guess someone must have just made it up.

Also, that link that you posted, Anonymous, didn't work so I have no way of seeing your proof.

Once again, sorry! I honestly didn't mean to put anything untrue on Dogster.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was so pawsome! Mama's friends from New Jersey were passing thr0ugh and came to visit. They had a Border Collie/Lab mix named Saige, a Italian Greyhound named Tucker, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lucy. I had a few racing games with Tucker (Italian Greyhounds are often bred to race and bred for speed) and I actually kept up with him furr the most part! I'm a FAST girl!

They cook food furr their dogs with meats, rice, peas, and dog-safe seasonings and they decided to give me a scoop. I LOVED that stuff!

Saige got a bit aggressive with me. She was tons bigger then me and if I went too close to her quite a few times and she snarled and growled. She was in my yard, I used to be the alpha dog, but I'm submissive so Mama had to tell me to get back. I'm just a dog that always wants to go just one step further, then one more, then one more, and more, and more, and MORE!

Tucker got aggressive with me when I went to drink the water at the same time as him. He actually attacked me but he was small so Mama's friend just picked him up and Mama grabbed me and we were safe.

I also got to perform all my tricks to Mama's friend. They all loved it!! 

Overall it was a grrreat day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, Sadie was put in an add in the paper like I may have said. A family responded. They have 3 kids and lots of love. They took her yesterday morning. I was a bit upset when Mama said she was coming and she never showed up, but I still got to go to the creek!

The creek was in my neighborhood, you just have to walk a ways to get there. Now, I'm not a swimming dog! I'm a Pug/Beagle (Puggle) for goodness sake! I went swimming, and I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED Etc... LOVED IT!!!! I had the best time of my life! Now, in the creek the day before it was MUCH more shallow and I could stand in every part but one, but here I had to swim about 5 or 6 times and I did it without hesitance! A few of the longer swimming areas I swam closer to Mama asking her to help me because I was a bit scared, but she helped me and carried me through those parts that I was scared (which was only one, but we had to go through it to get there and go through it back) It was the best thing a swimmin' girl could ever want!

Now, don't get me wrong! I hate baths! I really really really really etc... don't like them! Going in the creek was TOTALLY different! There was an island that me and Mommy and some of my neighborhood kids that she took down there played on. There was a little island across that that Mama named "Annie's Island" because I just loved having to swim that short distance to it and then swimming back. I HAVE MY OWN ISLAND!!!!!!

Anyways, even though I'm sad, I'm happy! I got a really funny pic out of that day with Sadie and I'll keep it as my main pic as a while. Feel free to go check it out! (I'm the funny pawrt!)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our neighbors found a malnourished laborador retriever and brought her home. They found her out of state and she seemed so abused. She had worms, fleas, and fear holding her back from being a perfect dog. After the first two days of love, she's a happy puppy growing and learning everyday.

What does this have to do with me? Yesterday me and Mama took care of her all day. They love her, but they both have to work full time and find it hard to give her the love she needs. Mama and I have a summer job with no pay, but that's perfectly fine. ;D

Mama's trying to work out a pupfile furr Sadie, but the camera's being a bad dog again! She'll keep trying and maybe with the laptop today! :D

	Template Letters for Bruce:

Urgent Plea for a Pardon/Intervention to Allow Export of Bruce to Eire: Template Letter

Please feel free to use the template below or send your own letter/email. Full details below.



Dear Sir,

I am writing to you with regard to a travesty about to occur in Northern Ireland and to beg you to intervene and help save a life.

The life in question belongs to Bruce, a young Staffordshire Bull Terrier who was living happily with his family in Northern Ireland. On September 19th 2007 Bruce was seized by council officials as an alleged “pit bull type” and taken to secluded kennels whilst his owner was taken to court for owning a banned type of dog.

While incarcerated in kennels his family were allowed to visit Bruce in October 2007, Bruce had lost weight, muscle and had a cut to his muzzle. Five months later Bruce was allowed a second visit from his family in March 2008, they were shocked with what they found: The wound on Bruce's muzzle was larger and had become infected, he had to have his tail amputated, had open sores, was underweight and looked totally rejected, yet despite the clear pain he was in, is described by experts as being a friendly dog that poses no danger to the public. In a desperate attempt to save Bruce, owner Shannon Brown, supporters and neighbours have created petitions and videos resulting in worldwide support to “Bring Bruce Home”.

Northern Ireland has not adopted the 1997 Amendment Act as in England, Scotland and Wales, despite being proposed several times, thus meaning any dog deemed to be “pit bull type” cannot be entered onto the Index of Exempted Dogs. If the proposal had been accepted in Northern Ireland, as with the rest of the UK, Bruce would have been home long before now, alive and well registered on the Index of Exempted Dogs. Northern Ireland is however currently considering legislative change but this is not likely to be achieved in time to save Bruce.

If Bruce lived in Southern Ireland where no breeds are nationally banned he would never have been seized at all. Bruce has been offered a place of safety with a reputable rescue in Southern Ireland where he could legally live out the rest of his life, this offer has been conveyed to the solicitor but has sadly not been accepted by the court.



I understand that you have the power to grant a pardon and we beg of you to do all within your power to allow Bruce the chance of life by requesting Bruce is granted safe passage to Southern Ireland and the rescue placement that is waiting there for him. This is all that is needed. I am sure, that you are aware of how emotionally committed good owners are to their pets. Dogs are part of our families as much as children. Please spare Bruce’s owner the further trauma of destroying Bruce so needlessly. Please pardon Bruce and allow a blameless animal the chance of life.

We claim to be a nation of animal lovers, surely now it is time to prove it?

Yours faithfully

We must Unite and Fight against BSL before none of us are left!

What is BSL?

Breed-specific legislation (BSL) bans or restricts certain types of dogs based on their appearance because they are perceived as “dangerous” breeds or types of dogs.

A breed ban usually requires that all dogs of a certain appearance (”targeted breed”) be removed from the area wherein the BSL has been implemented.

Well, we feel BSL is better described as discrimination and Racism in the Dog Worldfrown

About Bruce, what we don't understand is WHY is he being treated so terribly in this "kennel" (more like a Prison) that he has been locked up in for almost 2 years now? In The States, That is Criminal!
Bruce was taken away because of the "Ban"...even though he never did anything wrong!
So, for being a Good Dog, he is removed from his home and now lives caged in isolation - abused and neglected for the past 2 years at the hands of Northern Ireland's government!
Something is VERY wrong here!

Please post any information on BSL in your location in this thread. And have any of you ever heard of a BSL case as severe as Bruce's case? 

Mama's very into training and positive reinforcement. She hears about dogs who have been abused and thinks about reinforcement like praising them when they do good; Bruce was punished to die when he did nothing wrong! It saddens me to say that once Bruce gets home, he won't be the same. It's like breeding dogs at puppy mills... You can do what you can, but they're just unhealthy frightened dogs that will always be scared due to the harshness of their past dependent on the breed and how long and hard they suffered... Poor Bruce.....

Mama's very upset with this whole BSL thing...


PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED SO GIVE A PIT BULL A TRY BEFORE YOU SENTENCE THEM ALL TO DIE!!!!!

I hope Bruce will be saved. Bruce deserves to be at home with his family. He belongs there. I dont think its fair that beloved pets are taken away from their owners becasue of their breed.

Yeah... that's like picturing someone coming in and taking away a Cocker Spaniel that's never hurt a fly and saying it's dangerous. THAT'S what the world will come to in not too long if we keep letting them get away with the Pit Bulls or the Shaffordshires! They think it would make the world 'safer', but it's really destroying it! Cocker Spaniels aren't on the list, but anything can and will happen with BSL!

All it takes is pups like us to show them that Pit Bulls make the word! They don't ruin it like others think, they make it and make it better. Pit Bulls are a great part of our society, an the sooner those people encaging Bruce realize that, the better!

Puggle loves!
Annie

I love my Mama because she's always putting my interest in front of hers.

I love that she talks to me in little words combined in a phrase for me to understand.

I love how she trains me to do such cool things just to get a great bond going!

I love how she brings me for all these grrrreat walks!

I love her time that she gives me.

I love how she understands me in my little ways of putting a point across!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She was talking to her Mama about when she moves out of the house how she'd love to have a big, powerful breed like the Doberman. Mama's Mama didn't mind that at all, but when Mama mentioned she wanted a Pit Bull too, her Mama just said no because of the breed name! Mama can't stand that she's out here trying to change the world's perspective on the breed alone and even her Mama is totally against her having a Pit Bull! That's just <b></i>not</b></i> fair!

Mama's Mama has a friend in Michigan that has two beautiful Golden Retrievers and they're always talking about how they're having problems with aggressive Pit Bulls in the neighborhood jumping the fence and attacking their dogs.

That doesn't leave an excuse!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama's home and here's every inch of detail...

Mama's daddy and brofurrs got home a whole WEEK before her! I had to wait longer!!!

Mama's Mama teased me saying, "Annie, where's your kids? Where's your Mama???? Go find 'em!" That was silly because I ran around the house looking furr them for no reason!!!!

This is when Mama came home...

I was waiting by the window for Mama like always. Mama's car drove in and I saw her inside! I was bouncing-off-the-walls-heiper!!!!!

Daddy opened the door and I ran as fast as I could to Mama! I got to her and was jumping all over her and givin' her tons a lil' Puggle licks. I was sooooo heiper I was whining as I was jumping at her! I was soooo heiper I took a lap around the neighbor's house at full speed just to run back to Mama and give her more lil' Puggle kisses! I was off-leash and Mama just decided to call me back instead of trying to go get me. It worked! Overall, the greatest day of my life.

Mama brought me outside later that day and she saw that either me or the kitty killed a tiny, tiny baby birdy. Mama was sad and I had it. Mama told me to give it to her and I didn't. Since neither me nor she remember the entire thing these are the commands she used successfully! Leave it, take it, Give, Drop it, Here; Annie!, and a few others! 

Yay! Mama's home!

Puggle loves!
Annie

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It just didn't work out, but here's the list Mama left for her Mama for those few weeks:

Annie-

MORNING: 
                     
 -When you get up, let her out back. You may need to go out with her and tell her to Get Busy (my potty word)

-When she's back in, give her one spoon full of the 2/3rds measurement scoop of the clear box with the blue lid and be sure to add in the ham (red) Beneful bites since she'll be more likely to eat it that way

-Be sure she's always got water

-If she doesn't eat much, keep encouraging and praising her to eat. My guess is that she'll set back for a while on eating like with Delgado

MID-DAY:

-Be sure she has love, affection, exercise, and play by now.

EVENING:

-If you go for a walk, try bringing her along

-Call me and after we talk, I can talk to Annie

-Give her the next 2/3 measurement with ham flavored Beneful just like the first

-Give her a kiss good-night!!!!!

<b>REMINDERS-</b>

Be sure she's let out much throughout the day since she won't go for many walks

Be sure she doesn't eat kitty-food and if she does she must go strait to her kennel.

***************************************************

OH!! I'll miss you, Mama! Please come home soon! You already said you were going Bye-bye for a while! (oh... I HATE that word!) and I'm a very sad Puggle... I'll cherish you for the next two days I have you!

Puggle loves!
Annie

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama was doing my off-leash stuff again today. This morning she brought me out without treats and didn't see people walking through the couldesac. (they weren't doing anything wrong, just too close to my Mama! That's a crime I don't suit well with!!!) Anyhoo... 

I howled and ran strait to the people once I saw them. I just howled once. They weren't scared but they didn't smell like a threat so I went over and sniffed the lady's foot. The lady didn't care. She just kept walking. How, dare she???? Mama called me back. She didn't do it when I went over, just after I was done sniffing which was weird. It was because she knew the people. I didn't know them. That wasn't fair!!!

I went right back to Mama and she told me inside. Up I went to the door till she opened it, then IN I went! :D

Mama was proud of me guarding and was also proud that I came back. She says I'm "much more fun when she doesn't have to worry about me running off." Thanks, Ma!

One more thing, the neighbor kid was there. He had a door-dasher too and he was very wary of dogs running off. He immediately panicked and said some mean things to Mama because he thought she'd escape and make us late. It was just because he treats her like a big sister. I Anyway, he had his jaw dropped when I came prancing back to Mama and went strait inside. Mama was laughing SOOOO hard! I was smilin' too! Life's fun, off leash! LET ALL PUPS HEAR ME!!! IT'S MUCH MORE FUN TO LISTEN TO YOUR PAWRARENTS!!!!!!

Mama's friend from down the neighborhood came up with her Toy Miniature Pinscher and even <i>I</i> thought it was cute! Mama was a little nervous after I met her to keep me off-leash so she had a leash but took it off later. I met a new friend AND spent most of the day in the FRONT OFF-LEASH!!!!! I'm SOOOO different!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, I am still talking about the snobby Dachshund some of you long-term readers would know. The Dachshund that snarled me down over a rawhide, Princess. As mean as she can be, she saved my life! Maybe me and Ma's!

It all happened when Princess had come for a visit and Mama was taking us both out for a walk. We were almost to the street (we live in a couldesac) and all of the sudden a mean, angry Pit Bull and a little Scottish Terrier mix ran up. The pitbull was snarling and I was so scared I ran to hide behind Mama. He was only yards away from us and Princess ran up and barked and barked and barked. The big, mean, scary Pit Bull backed away submissively. Just then, the guy who owned them came up and put them in his car. We were safe because of Princess. Princess saved out lives!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today Mama used treats to break my door-dashing habits and took me into the FRONT off-LEASH with NOOOOOOOO treats! I <b>didn't</b> run away!!!!!!!

Mama's so proud of me and all the neighbors who have helped to try to catch me when I get off were pretty excited too. I'm such a proud doog and I've come SOOOO far from over a year ago with Mama!

Later in the day, Mama opened the door enough for me to get out. I dashed the door and I knew Mama didn't have a treat. My kids were out there and I needed to say hi! I was half-way there and I heard Mama call me back and say, "Inside!"
 
Oh! Those dreaded words! They ruin all the fun! Anyway, back I came and in I went. Mama treated me like a little princess after that!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Turn Your Security System ON! 
============================== 

A horrible thing happened to me today... 

A thief broke into my house. It happened shortly after I awoke 
this morning. I got up and began rushing about. I had a 
thousand things on my list and was already running behind. 

Quickly, I gulped down breakfast, took a shower and got ready 
for work. 

In my rush, I forgot to turn the security system on at my 
house. It was just about a half an hour later that the thief 
broke in. Of course, he didn't make a sound. Just kind of snuck 
inside, not drawing any attention to himself. In fact, none of 
the neighbors ever saw him. 

But, I did. 

You see, I WAS HOME when the thief broke in. 

He naturally startled me, as I was unprepared for his visit. 
He, of course, didn't announce that he was coming and I 
certainly had not invited him over. 

And yet, I found myself face to face with danger and I felt so 
powerless. I also felt so very stupid, because this whole 
incident could have been avoided if I had just taken the time 
to turn the security system on. 

You better believe I'll be turning it on tomorrow morning! I 
thought I'd warn you about this guy, because he's still on the 
loose. Chances are, he's in your area. Possibly even headed for 
your house. 

His name? His name is Satan. You see, this morning when I 
jumped up in my haste to get started on my busy day, I skipped 
my prayer time - opting to "pray later today." In other words, 
I DIDN'T TURN ON THE SECURITY SYSTEM. My defense wasn't on, my 
guard was dropped... and when the thief came into my home to 
attack me, 

I was unprepared to do battle. 

He tempted me and I felt powerless. Like I said, I also felt so 
very stupid, because I could have avoided the incident if I had 
just taken the time to pray. 

My friend, the thief has come to "steal, kill and destroy." 
And, as a Child of God, you are on his "hit list." He'll 
probably pop over to your house today. He may be lurking 
outside your door right now, just waiting to catch you off 
guard. 

Take time to pray this morning. Ask God to bind Satan from your 
very presence, to protect you and empower you to do battle. In 
short... don't forget to turn your security system on.

DOGSTER ALERT,DOGSTER ALERT!P ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BSL again... This is what my friend had to say in one of my groups!

DOGSTER ALERT,DOGSTER ALERT!Please Help Save 'Bruce' the pitbull mix from N. Ireland!

Bruce’s fate still undetermined

Bruce, a dog seized in Northern Ireland as being of the Pit Bull type, is still awaiting the appeal on his death
sentence.
The case was originally heard at Bangor Magistrates Court on 27th August, where Dr Mugford gave 
evidence stating that Bruce was merely a friendly Staffordshire Bull Terrier. 
Unfortunately the Magistrates’ concluded that Bruce was of the type and ordered his destruction. 
However, Bruce’s owner is appealing this decision and following a brief hearing on the 12th November,
the case has been listed for mention on 12th January 2009 at which time a date for the appeal will be fixed. 
Sadly for Bruce this means he’ll be spending more months incarcerated in kennels. 

this is bruce his website,please go see it.

http://www.bebo.com/bring-bruce-home

there are pictures from him and a u-tube clip where you can meet sweet bruce.
REMEMBER he did NOTHING wong,did not growl,attacked or biten anyone.
he will be killed just because he is a pit.

i contacted my bruce contact and this is what she emailed me.

Dear Nathalie,

Yes, Bruce is still in danger--his owner cannot obtain insurance for him and so she is urgently looking for a 
rescue for him and has only got until the 29th of June or he will be put down! 
This is so frightening--after all he and his family have been through. 
If you can help Shannon to find somewhere safe for Bruce to live and be loved, that would be wonderful. 
Thank you for checking back. 
I live in Wisconsin, US so don't have any contacts that could help in southern Ireland--
but the sooner he is moved to safety the better.
This is the bebo for Bruce and if you post to this bebo, Shannon will get the message. 
Please spread the word that Bruce needs rescue!


Thank you!

Margaret Reno 


He needs help ASAP.
This is just breaking my heart. 
I HATE BSL. 

WHAT CAN WE DO DOGSTERS?
WE MUST STOP THIS.
CONTACT ME OR JONATHAN WITH IDEA'S.

i have contact with a friend of bruce his owner and i'm waiting to be contacted by bruce his owner herself.
please we can't let this happen!

Mama has me visit him everyday. He said to me when no one else was in his room that he might try to fake being sick for a while so he gets to see me tons more and miss his last few days of school. Silly boy!

Mama has a bad case of Swimmer's Ear and has been in a lot of pain. Please keep her in your prayers!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of our neighbors called. This lady had a son at about 10 years of age that was very sick. Nobody could help him, just a very bad uncontagious stomache virus. Doctors said after a week he should be able to be back on track, but till then I have a job!

Mama answered the call and the lady said that her son kept saying Annie. She asked if Mama could bring me over. Nice to know I'm popular! BOL!

Anyway, Mama brought me over. She added pictures. The boy was smiling and begging his mom to let him get out of bed but when she said no he was content with cuddles with me.

I'm a miracle dog in my own little neighborhood!

This new trick is Itch.

Mama says, "Annie, Itch! She hasn't made a hand signal for this one yet, but that's soon to come. I'll sit and scratch either side with my back hind leg. Mama was able to teach me so quickly because she doesn't think that my flea collar is working so she'll have to try a new one. BOL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama had a cookie in her hand. She rested her hand on her arm rest and I jumped up and nipped the Vanilla chip cookie right out! She wasn't happy to say the least...

All the crumbs were on the floor. I never swallowed any, just bit it into pieces... Mama went over to grab my collar. I knew I did bad so I crouched down just about as low as I could get. Mama brought me over to my kennel so I could get my punishment and so she could clean up the mess without worrying about me stealing any crumbs. I knew I was so bad I didn't even try to get out of the opened kennel to 'help' Mama clean up... I was a very bad girl but I learned my lesson. This is what I posted in a recent diary entry:

I have a few things to say for <i>all</i> dogs to hear! This is ALL the stuff I've learned about Mama in my just over a year of being with her!

1. She only walks on two feet. It's nothing to worry about!
<b>2. She eats VERY yummy food that she doesn't share with me!</b>
3. There's something wrong with her nose, but she doesn't need a vet.
4. She doesn't bark, she talks with people words!
5. She doesn't like to chew her toys.
6. She always holds the leash instead of attaching it to the collar she doesn't have!
7. She doesn't like to chase squirrels.
8. She wears clothes because she doesn't have enough furr! Must be a Chinese Crested somewhere in there...
9. She doesn't pant when she's hot.
10. She focuses on the magic box with this kinda stuff on it that I ignore!

Just ten things about my Mama and most other people that you may not know about!

I highlighted majorly expressed the one I'm thinking of today. I was a BAD girl!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I run a Question of the Day at my group <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/group/Puppies_rule-15833">Puppies Rule</a> and this is what they have to say. You may only see one or two now, but as soon as they post (all throughout the day) it'll be in my Diary entry!

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/981068">Daisy:</a> Euthanasia was the best thing for a dog my family had in childhood. She was a 19 yr old dachshund who had no teeth, was blind, deaf, and started having seizures. This dog was my mom's baby. My parents got her when they first got married. After her back started going out and she lost control of her bowels the humane thing was to put her to sleep. It hurt my mom and are family, but in the end my mother new she had lived a long good life. Having said that I also believe that every dog can be rehabilitated and it hurts me when I here that someone put their 2 year old or young dog to sleep. A neighbor of my aunts put his two puppies to sleep b/c they almost killed a calf. In that case I believe its the humans fault. If you do not want to take responsibility for your dog or you cant afford vet bills, etc etc than do not get a dog. Dogs can cost you money with vet bills, etc and if you can not afford the bills you should not have gotten the dog in first place. The only reason a dog should be put down is when its the best thing for the dog, not the best thing for the human.

Sorry if human mom rambled she hears of people putting young dogs down just for things like jumping the fence repeatably.  I'm glad I live with my human mom who loves me regardless of what I do.

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/955025">Checkers-</a>GOOD WAY 
The good way is if a poor old dog is suffering. Suffering from a disease is a good reason to put down a dog. It will make the dogs stop hurting and is a kind way to kill a dog. Allso if there is a severe problem that vets do not know how to fix they will put down a dog. The humans can make a difference!!!! But I can also here "putting down" a dog as a bad thing... 

BAD WAY 

Once I heard sombody put down their dog cuz "they couldn't take care of it" or "too much to handle" or even "not smart enough for training!" Also if their dog doesn't listen or it keeps escaping and you have to run after it to get it back. Some people might not even liketheir dogs! That is BADD!    THEY KILL THEIR DOG FUR NOTJHING!!! It's just like animal cruelty! Why not give them to the shelter fur a second chance? Fur a second family? fur a second life? 

Here is a story: 

At the humane society there was a CHow Chow that was there fur 12 years and never put down. He was given a second chance to have a life. He finally is listed as adopted and they are writing an update on his life every month. Sadly he died! He had a second chance. A second family. A second life. He was finally appreciated by someone, by a family...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is what Mama was doing with me today...

She'd take me outside off leash and then tell me inside and I'd have to run in and sit for a treat. She went farther and farther away from the door till finally we were across the yard and I still did it to the pawfection!

I think most everypup knows of my 'Escaping Problem', but Mama's working harder then ever to solve it! She did this and I'm doing GRRRREAT! I can't wait till the next time I escape and I can just run RIGHT back to Mama or into the house! SOOO happy! Mama's going to try the other door next time... LOTS OF DOORS!!!

One more! if you press F5 key while there's the 'You have donated the bone' page, it will do it more times. If you keep pressing F5 there will be tons of bones which is how my donor probably did it!

Anyway, we came in and Mama was pouring my 2/3's measuring pup thingey for my food! While she was doing that I made my way over to the little heater thingey that Mama uses sometimes. I sat by it. Oh no! It wasn't on! I barked softly at Mama. She looked over and I actually put my paw on the heater! Hee hee!

Mama went over and laughed as she turned it on! BOL!

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

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm SOOOO happy! Mama had to go some place and when she came home she smelled like a new doggy! She said, " Danese _______ Sophie________ training her ________ be back soon." Huh?????


Anyway.... I sniffed her when she came back but the most IMPORTANT part of today is that I came when I was called! Like a usual day, Mama worked on my recall in the fenced in yard. After that, Mama's Mama went into the back yard and didn't see me. She left the gate opened! I walked out casually and Mama was right there on the drive way by the cars. I went over to say hi but when I realized she was gonna grab me I backed away and darted. I went into the front yard and stopped and looked back. Mama said, "Here, Annie!" which is my recall command that I always get a treat or TONS of praise after I perform. I ran back and Mama said I, "passed her test with <b>FLYING</b> colors! WOW!!!

She also said that because my recall seems down, she may be able to take me on a vacation this summer to New Jersey and New York, but that's up to the people she's staying with. Now I'm fully capable of it, though! I can't WAIT till they say yes because I MISS them!

Hope I go!
Annie

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid bulb?

Border Collie: Just one? And I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code...

Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

Rottweiler: Make me!

Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark!

Laborador: Oooh! Ooooh! Pick me! PLEEEEEZ! Pick me! ME ME ME! Wait, how do you change a light bulb?

German Shepherd Dog: I'll check after I've been sure to evacuate all the people from the house. Of coarse then I'd have to make one more perimeter patrol and be sure that none of the humans are taking advantage of the situation... Any other safety priority???

Jack Russel Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furrniture!

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? Where?! I'm sorry, I don't see a light bulb!

Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can pee in the dark and my humans will never see!

Chihuahua: Yo quier taco bulb! Or We don't need no stinkin' light bulb!

Greyhound: It isn't moving, who cares???

Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the lightbulbs in a little circle...

Doberman: I don't wanna! Uhhh, could we fight about it, maybe???

Poodle: I'll just bark to the Border Collie and by the time he's done with rewiring everything my nails will be dry!

Pug: My eyes aren't that great these days. Point me in the direction and we'll see... Call the Border Collie just in case....

Beagle: Can we go hunting after, pawleeeezee!

Puggle: Anything to help Mama! 

Weimereiner: What's my reward? Is it in my standards????

Bichon Frise`: Ahhhh! Too tiny! *Reaches up as much as pawsible*

Chow Chow: Grrrr! How DARE  you ask me to do something like that?!







Cat: How soon after I finish fixing the bulb till my dinner and massage will come? Can't those be done in the dark!?

WHICH PROVES THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF!!

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama should've posted this a while ago, (Easter day) but COMPLETELY furrgot! I caught a geico ALL BY MYSELF! Mama usually helps BUT SHE DIDN'T!!!!!

She was actually teasing me saying, "Annie! Go get it! Go get it!" But I didn't know what to get and that made me look. I walked all the way around the fence till I found a little geico!

I picked him up and walked right over to Mama with him in my mouth. She was like, "Good dog, Annie!" I was so proud!

I ran around the yard with him for a while and then Mama's brofurr 'felt bad for it' BOL and tried to get it away! It was a Wild Goose Chase around the yard till he caught me! I wasn't ready to give him up!

When he did, he got the just barely alive geico, (I was holding his head, not his body in my mouth...) and set it free in the front yard. I don't think he'll make it, but it was a nice thought... BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I HAVE A NEW NEIGHBOR!

I've had him for a while but spend so much time with him I don't spend as much time on Dogster!

He's a little 10 week old Bichon Frise` puppy and Cheryl, (who owned Bizzy) just bought him!

She's so much happier and so am I!

There is one bad thing, though...

Cheryl said she got him from a Pet store... He was most likely from a Puppy Mill. 99.9 percent of Pet store pooches are from these terrible places.

Mothers that are used for breeding and often euthanized after that, small unclean cages that have MANY dogs squeeze into them, overpriced, and the worst, HEALTH ISSUES!

We still love Ralfy (Rafael) and Cheryl all the same!

I have a new food that I LOVE! I had Beniful, but it was okay. Now I have PEDIGREE stuff and I DEVOUR it! I have tons of Beniful food and just a small bag of Pedigree. NONE of it is wasted!

I'm one happy lil' pooch!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BSL is on the move! Ban the Deed, Not the BREED!

BSL is trying to take away the BREED of a dog that's known as aggressive and Pit Bulls are the main first target. What would the world be like with out Pit Bulls? TERRIBLE!

Hear me BSL? QUIT IT!

Puggle loves!
Annie

P.S.- Two Pit Bulls were in their caged areas in the backyard. They dug out and chased a biker. They barked incessently showing no signs of aggression. They got to him and he started wacking them with sticks and trying to get away but he couldn't escape the barking and following. The owner of the Pit Bulls called them back and they went running to him. The biker called the Animal control and they went to COURT about it! An animal phsycologist was watching and stated that they showed no sign of aggression! Anyway, the Pit Bulls lost and were immediately convescated from their owners and sentenced to death. Is that fair? Join my group Million Dog March and help us stop this!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A humming bird got in the house! I was bravely defending my territory and it flew in the opened sliding door! I ran in but wasn't near tall enough to get it. If only I still had Delgado... He'd stand on the chair on his hind legs and I'd stand on his head on my hind legs and.. JUST KIDDING!

Anyway, Mama kenneled me because the door was opened to try to let the bird out; there are many people out there that wouldn't want a dog running out at them so it was for the best.

The humming bird would land in the ceiling fan on our high ceilings. The windows are set up so that there's a large on above the front door, a large one above a huge one and a large one above the sliding door. The bird was all too stupid to see any of the two or three wide openings just below him! 

Anyway, he eventually was so delierious that he ran into a wall and fell behind a framed picture. Mama moved the picture and he fell behind the day-bed underneath it! She finally grabbed him with a shawl and by then he was SOOOO tired that he just flew up and landed on a tree overhead. Poor guy, and that's coming from a BEAGLE who had every intention to DESTROY that birdie!

His name is Bob! BOL!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I learned how to WHISPER!

Mama's signal for bark is to make a mouth with her hand and say, "Bark!" The signal for whisper is making a mouth with the thumb and the pointer finger and whispering to me, "Whisper." I can tell mostly by the pitch of voice and hand signals what to do but the words help too.

I love WHISPERING!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Does God still care? Does he still matter?




The 41 year old man wandered the streets. Homeless and alone. How had this happened???????


Just months ago he had financial stability, a family, a house, children, a job and in just those months it all faded away. 

He wandered the streets. Could things get any worse? This man prayed, "God, I need help. Why did you do this to me? What am I supposed to do?"

He kept walking and then looked into the sky. Rain. Wonderful...

Strait ahead was a gazebo that he and his highschool sweethearts had often sat under. Just fit for two...

He made his way over getting pounded by rain. This wasn't just any rain. Hard droplets poundling the life out of you one at a time.

The man sat on the swing under the gazebo. A ranger passed by and tipped his cap. "Good day to you," he said. A rainbow all of the sudden appeared in the sky. Beautiful colors forming a glorious pattern.

Just then the man remembered the ranger's voice. "Ed?!"

"Ed was my father. I am Paul," he answered.

"Oh, you look so similar! You SOUND so similar! That brings back MANY memories..."

"How did you know my father?" Paul asked taking a seat on the swing. 

"Well, he owned the country store is what I remembered. Oh, come on. You wouldn't want to be bored by my story!"

"Boar on!"

This man started telling the story of how he and Ed had identical kidneys and Ed was in need. The man donated a kidney and saved his life.

"What's your name?" asked Paul.

"Mark Baker," he answered. "I had many great memories with your father."

"Oh, I know! He talked about you on his death bed, at my sons birth, and just about anywhere you were remembered. He always looked for you. You were very important to him."

"Well, I'd best be going. Looks like the rain's let up and..."

"Wait! You don't rightfully understand.... My father assigned you the ranch house and store in his will!"

God still cares, believe me now?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There was a man who came home from his youth group wondering if God really talked to men. If he still cared...

He went out to a late dinner with some friends from church but the thought kept hitting him, "Does God still care?"

He kept this to himself, however, and at ten at night made his way to his car. He asked God in a prayer, "God if you're really there and want to prove this to me, could you give me something visible to help me out?"

He drove past a little gas station and felt the urge to go get some milk. Could this be God? He pondered this thought for a while and spent a few minutes making up his mind on this until he thought, "A gallon of milk can't hurt. I could use it if God needs me to or just drink it."

He went and bought the milk and got back into his car. He drove for a ways until he felt the urge to pull into 7th street. He debated this thought as well and once more thought, "What could it hurt to drive in?"

He then drove into 7th street and felt the urge to go into the house directly in front of him. It was late at night. All the stores were closed and there was no light in the neighborhood to be seen. 

He decided he'd go but opened the door just to shut it again.

He then prayed, "God, do you want me to look like a fool? They won't need this milk and what excuse would it be to say that 'God told me to give this to you?' I can't do this."

He felt the urge again!

He knew this would haunt him the rest of his life if he didn't.

Not knowing what he was doing he made his way down to the house. It was cold and dark and he was almost scared to knock, but somehow he did. 

A rustling was heard in the house and soon the man heard, "Who is it? Is someone there?"

The door then creaked open to the sight of a man in jeans and a t-shirt looking like he'd just gotten out of bed. 

"What do you want?" he asked. 

"I came to deliver this milk to you."

The man was over-joyed and ran down the hallway. His wife came out holding a baby in one arm and gladly taking the milk in the other.

"We used all our money to pay the bills and didn't have enough for milk. We've been praying that God would send an angel to give us the milk for our baby."

His wife questioned, "Are you an angel?"

God's worker handed them the money that he had in his pocket and walked back to his car.

Does God talk to people? Does he care?

What do YOU think?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My newest trick is the hardest one to accomplish! It is. . . . 


SPEAK! Mama says Bark though and does a little mouth with her hand. It took SOOO long because when I was a pup with my older homes they kept telling me that barking was REALLY bad and I COULDN'T EVER do it again! Mama taught me that it was okay as long as it's not too much. . .

Happy Easter to all!!! Mama and the family went to Grandma and Grandpa's 5 minutes down the road. I got to come. Grandma is a clean freak and I wasn't aloud in, but I was barking at a purebred Mastiff neighbor of them. Mama told me to stop and I didn't. I was a bad girl, but it was Easter so she let it slide just ONE day...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She was going to take Delgado and me for a walk and then the kitty came. She had her finger looped around Delgado's collar and was holding me on a leash. She let go of Delgado right away because there was nothing she could do, but she had to hold me at least. I PULLED AND PULLED AND PULLED and her head went RIGHT SMACK into a chair!!! She was hurt and me and Delgado had NO CLUE what to do! Luckily, she's okay. No concussion, swollen ear, and huge egg right by it. Suites easter!

Also, this morning Mama was calling me and Delgado and I came but Delgado didn't. Mama called and called and called but he'd just come and then go back before she could grab him. I waltzed right over to him, jumped up and nipped his collar, and told him to come back. Mama was laughing! He's herded me before, but I was going to grab his collar just like Mama! It WAS funny!!!!

I couldn't stand it. I humped RIGHT back to him! 

Mama told us both to stop THEN HE HUMPED AGAIN!!!

She pulled him off then found a reasonable method.

Victoria Stilwell does, "Ah Ah!" Cesar Millan does, "Chhh!" and Mama says REALLY fast, "Delgado HEH!" and he stops dead in his tracks. Whether he's being too rough with me, humping me, or jogging out of the yard he knows it's bad and stops right there and then. :)

Thanks to Mama, life with the Big Boy has been WAY easier! The humane society told us to keep him for a bit longer and they'd help us try to find his owner. it won't work, but worth a try. They're contacting other pounds and shelters about it and putting it onto more websites. 

Our fifth day with the Big Fella and loving every minute of it!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ He had a chance to go to a great home. The man brought his Cocker Spaniel and we all knew that we'd have to bark goodbye to him. THEN, he was aggressive! I think it's just because the Cocker was a boy and I'm a girl! :))

Anyway, we're close to possitive that Delgado was abandoned due to lack of money, food, space, ya' know. That sort of thing.

We're trying to keep him out of the Humane Society, but that's not looking good. Anyone close want a Dobbie/Shepherd? Of coarse we wouldn't give him to jut anyone either. We're still looking.

By the way, Mama taught Delgado to not run away from the yard. He got out of the fence yesterday and just STAYED in the YARD!!!!!! I was so jealous! I would've run!!!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Day two:

Posted the surrounding neighborhoods, Craigs List, and checked around again. No sign.

Day three: May go to a new home. Whether it's today or tomorrow, it's sad. It's a home that has two dogs and no children. I think I'd prefer he has children but I'm not complaining. It's so sad to let him go when I've trained him and loved him and treated him like my own puppy. We just don't have the space to keep this huge dog. He's already gigantic and has another thirty or so pounds to grow into! So sad. . . It's not my choice either. It's not mine or Mama's because if it were ours we'd keep him. It's Mama's Mama. . . :(((

We'll see about today. Loving him as much as possible now. . .

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama went for a walk with me and we came across a friendly, but shy dog. We only took him because of all the roads and his calmness in crossing. Any dog, ours or from the outside world should be safe from cars. He was nice. Mama guesses German Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher but we're not quite sure. Hopefully a picture will come soon. 

Mama strived to keep him until his owner is found (He has a collar but no tags), but her Mama called the pound. Luckily, answering machine!

He was timid and skinny. He devoured his food and my mom said not to give him anymore. I gave him a lot of ice cubes and a lot of water. I even snuck some pretzels to him. Poor pooch. . . .

I SOOO want to keep him until the owner is found. It wouldn't be a disapointment then, but that will be hard. My mother knew that I'd attach to him and that's the only reason she called. It was litterally an hour of me and him playing  in the back yard and she called!

My Mama cried. Her Mama didn't care. We were all miserable and unhappy.

Delgado, we named him that for the moment from Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie, escaped through a 6 inch hole that even I never attempted to go through! It was funny. Mama luckilly was out or I would have followed him. She said, "No Annie!" and I knew to stay away from that crack. I was a good girl.

If anypup is missing a German Shepherd/ Dobbie then please tell us so that we can make the propper arrangements for you to have your puppy back.

He seems 8-9 months. He has a one inch black collar, he's a bit skinny, he's the size of a Pit Bull or so, and he needs his furrever home.

He knows how to sit, shake, and spin. I don't think lay down at all though.

If you're in Charlotte, North Carolina and need me to send you a picture then feel free to tell me. 

Please help Delgado,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How can Bizzy have a happy ending? He went to the pound, was separated from me and Mama, and has to live in a tight new envirement!

NO HE DOESN'T! I tricked you! He was rehomed RIGHT away! We're so happy and, get this, I use BIZZY'S old LEASH for WALKS! Pawsome! His Cheryl was selling it at the yard sale along with his kennels and Mama got the leash! I get to smell Bizzy all the days I go for those great walks!

Mama came home today from what she said to be training a friends dogs. THERE WAS A PUGGLE! YAY! His name was Buster and there was a miniature Boxer (Don't ask. He's the size of ME and is 10 months old!) named Bogey. They had a Pit Bull mix too. . .

She was a tad aggressive and is trying to be rehomed right now. Mama finished training and smelled like them. I wouldn't stop sniffing her!

Mama also got me TENNIS  BALLS! They're pink for parading against Breast Cancer. Stop you wicked disease!

Mama says she'll try to post a pic on Dogster of my PINK tennis balls for everypup to see. They sell them at a lot of stores with puppy things. Mama got it for birthday shopping at TOYS "R" US! Ha! Toys for kids and dogs there!

Anypup with these balls. PLEASE post a pick and tell your friends to get them too. One by one until there's none!

Yesterday, mama was throwing the keys around for me to fetch and they landed on her shoe. Just to be sure, I brought the shoe AND key in one mouthful! She was laughing!

Yay! You pups will REALLY like these ones!

Pray: I'll sit with my butt down and paws up on a stool and put my head down. That one was yesterday.

Today! I learned to go get Mama's keys when she 'drops' them. I'll go over and try to drop it in her hand, but I'll usually miss and have to do it ALL over again! It still means a tasty treat though. . .

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I looked at the sky on the beach on day,
As it blossomed with birds flying on their way.
My dog to the right and on the other, my friend.
It seemed that the peace would never end.

The tide grew and my dog ran away!
I ran to him so that with me he'd stay.
About to grab him, I fell with a jolt!
Then he in turn, he began to bolt.

I cried and wailed!
I knew I'd failed,
For my dog knew not
The trouble he'd got
Ahead of his nose as he goes.

My pooch jogged about,
 in and out.
Till he was done and came
After his game.
With his catch. A bird at my feet.

My loyal dog had done wrong
But who could be mad at his sweet bark-song?
He gave me the bird with a proud stride and a leap
As if saying, "I'm sorry Mama, and this is for you to keep!"
Who could say no to this precious gift!
Then suddenly my dog ran away, low and swift.

I was hurt, and couldn't follow him now.
If there was some way, How?!
After ten minutes of so I heard a small bark.
Distant or close, I knew not. It was dark.

Then I saw a light! A flash! Big and bright!
And I realized why my dog had run off that night.
He went to get me the bird, then I was hurt bad.
Then he realized and ran home to get my dad!

Our home was miles away from the shore!
My dog ran it to save me, and he'd have run a lot more.



This to all owners that get angry at their dogs. We'll show you at the last moment what we can do to help you in your diar need.

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bizzy, our neighbors pup with behavior issues and hard training obstacles is no longer here. His owner was so uncaring and so done with him that she took him to the pound!

Mama and I spent the whole day crying. The poor pooch won't get adopted! No one else sees past his behavior issues! 

It hurts me when dog owners take in a dog UNPREPARED and then end up taking it to the, GRRRRR! POUND!!!!!!! If you haven't heard Bizzy's original story and kept up with his and my life then look back at my previous entry entitled Bizzy. It's certainly a heart breaking story with a heart breaking ending, but I'm sure that God has a whole meaning through this whole thing. 

Mama's favorite song that she often plays in the house is 'For Good'. It's about Joseph in the Bible and is a great encouragement to us that no matter how bad it seems, God can work everything through For Good. 

Joseph had it really bad. He was one of twelve brothers and was born of a woman who was thought to have been barren. His brothers SOLD him into SLAVERYout of jealousy to him because in their perspective he was just a spoiled little boy! God worked through that for good and he actually ended up saving all of Egypt. If that's not proof that God works everything For Good then what is?

I hope this has been insperational for you,

Mama went out back and played with me. She built a fort at the corner of the fence and I broke it! I didn't know and Mama didn't mind. She just worked hard for nothing.

My friend, Kato the Boxer/Lab, came and he was in MY yard! I didn't mind that, but THEN he went in my house and HE was humping ME! He ate my food and drank my water and went potty in my yard and THEN the HUMP! I guess I'll forgive him. There was more fun in the whole thing anyway.

I jump into Mama's arms! Not quite I guess. She tells me knee up and then catches me. It works out great. I know when it's coming too.

I do a lot of distant commands now too like sit, down, bang, and I'm learning more!

Leave it to a new extent.

Catch a treat. Still working on it, but it's coming.

Touch it to MANY new extents.

And probably more, but I can only remember them when Mama tells me to do them.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bizzy is in one of my pictures. He's a Coonhound/Bassethound and here's his sad story.

He's less than a year old and he has an older woman and a handicapped man for an owner. He needs and deserves training and at least regular walks to drain his energy and neither of those two are provided for him. He 'lives' on a VERY short leash out on her back porch and doesn't even get the decency to have grass to do his business on. He does have food and water but is lacking on exercise and play which all of us know every puppy needs. 

Please keep Bizzy in your thoughts. He could use everything at this point. :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sometimes when I do the Army Crawl Trick, Mama catches me cheating. I'll walk VERY low to the ground and then lay back down when I get to Mama. She taught me through a command how to stay down AND she also retaught Head Down. She says that if she forgets to work on a trick with me that I won't remember them and then she has to RETEACH them to me. Head down I do as easily as RUNNING now!

Come is RENEWED too! Read Diary entry below!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Two days in a row, except today was a bit different. I did run. Someone put me out with the gate open! I went VIUM! No one knows exactly where I went. I could have been out there for ten minutes or just thirty seconds, but Mama went out and called me and there I was! I jogged up the road and stopped at the stop sign debating whether to listen to Mama or not. I did listen! She was SO happy! I came running VIIUUMM!!!!! fast fast fast to Mama! I got kitty-treats and even a chippy. I don't know if I'll RUN RUN RUN FAST FAST FAST! or if I'll just go to Mama next time. We'll see!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not really. I had an escape today. I got out and saw another dog. Our neighbor has bulls and I almost went in to play with her and him! Mama said that that would have been VERY bad! 

While I was chasing a squirrel through the OTHER neighbors yard and the neighbor on the OTHER side had a fenced in dog. Actually there were TWO! The biggest one was the size of a Newfoundland but not as hairy. I was so fixed on the big one that I didn't even see very much about the other one! Mama got my attention and I went over to her.

The GRRReat Reward is that our neighbor was walking her new pup named Kato. He was a lab/boxer and he was only one and a half months old! Mama asked if she could get me and I went out and played. I had WAY TOO MUCH FUN FOR BEING BAD! Hee hee!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, Mama was playing with me outside. She grabbed the yummy cat treats and wanted to see what I could sit and stay through. She sat  me on one side of the 1/4 acre yard and told me to sit and stay. Then she went all the way to the other side, set up two jumps and told me to come. She was so impressed with me! Hang on. Mama has something to say.

No I don't wanna write that! Oh, fine! I didn't stay right away. It took a few tries, but I did stay and come running over both jumps at the end. I ignored the kitty too! I barked at the neighbor and Mama told me to stop and I did! Not that too Mama!

Okay she had to tell me 3 times. I did okay and Mama says so too right Mama? 

She said I did great. I'll end on that note.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I haven't written in a while so sit back. . . 

On new years, my family and our visitors with a Mini Dachshund (who by the way has a bad attitude) stayed up for forever. We got to cuddle while watching a movie and I was still tired the next day when the attitude filled Princess left. Her name is really Princess and it fits her personality.

I wish I could say I had fun with her but that didn't happen exactly like planned. When she walked in through the front door, I went over to see her and she snapped at me right away. Whenever I'd eat a rawhide she'd steal it and when ever I'd go to get it back she'd snarl and bite.

My mama promises that she's NEVER seen me snarl to anybody or anything. At one poing I got a bit aggressive over a rawhide for a few minutes and I didn't even snarl then. I just growled. Luckily, mama stopped that because it was an un-fun bad girl thing to do.

Anyway, I've learned a few more tricks like jump, get it like when mama tells be to eat my food, and LEAVE PRINCESS ALONE! for when I try to play with her but she doesn't like it.

Oh yeah! Did I mention I now have a scheduled feeding? Mama thinks I was a bit plump. . . I get fed two times a day since mama looked up the breed Puggle and that they said that the Puggle needs a few meals a day instead of one. I like eating on schedule now. Mama's always motivating me to eat.

Well, it's time to eat now so I gotta go.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YAY! I get to tell you every little inch of my Christmas! Here goes. . .

A day or two before Christmas Mommy took me to Pet Smart to get a new collar and leash so I'd look pretty on Christmas. They were green with a pertiful design. (She added in a bag of cool Rawhides too.) I got to meet a kitty and a few dogs, too. 

On Christmas my Mommy woke me up and I got to get a HUGE surprise gingerbread-man Rawhide! I got to chew it while they opened presents. I was very satisfied. Now I'll describe that tasty gingerbread-man. He had three skinny white layers that were stranded together by red Rawhide strings and oh, man I gotta stop I'm gonna drool! 

Well when they let me outside they threw one of the layers of Rawhide for me to chew out there and I burried it. I don't usually burry stuff, but this was one acception. The next day, Mommy was still in the Christmas spirit and went outside to give me another Rawhide shaped like a candy cane. I'll describe that one too. It was basicly a white candy cane with a green Rawhide string going around the outside. 

Anyway, I saw her holding it and she said the word Rawhide so I went and dug up my old third of a gingerbread-man and I threw it up into the air for Mama to see. I teased her with it for a while and then she'd get it from me and make me do a trick to get it back. That was so fun and my Mama also gave me an EXTRA long walk to make up for Christmas. I was a Christmas gift last year so it was very special for me to have a Christmas without having a bow wrapped around my neck. One whole year with my Mama. . .

Puggle loves!
Annie
Special thanks to Mama's fingers for typing my woofs.

P.S.- I just recently added a pic of my Christmas pawresent that made me drool all over the keys! It's the last one with the gingerbread man.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just for fun, my mommy has been teaching me seeing eye jobs. I will lead her out of any dangers, and will ignore for other dogs and not sniff when told the word "Seeing Eye." We're still working on the stopping at bumps and hills routine, but this is just for fun and nothing more. 

My mommy says that when my brain isn't exercised I get extra heiper and a bit stressed. Like my motto- "I live to play, then please, then plop." Just a bit of Info on the Pawsome life of the Puggle.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Annie learns new tricks at a weekly basis if not daily. We always have more than one that we're learning. Annie is so smart that there's no reason that I shouldn't be teaching her so many tricks. They can really help her to cheer people up and make people laugh. I'm very proud to announce that on December 10th, about 5 months before Annie turns 2 years old, she knows over fifty tricks and commands!

I was so happy about that that I started the group Smart Puggles Unite. It's for smart Puggles like Annie that the group is on, and  with 3 members besides myself I need some serious help. I would just love to get this group off of the ground.

Puggle loves!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've always had friends in the neighborhood and with family and such, but my forever home here has a fat cat that DOESN'T like me. Like anyone wouldn't like a snaggletooth mutt! 

Now my mommy will pet Chelsea (the Fat Cat) with MY paw! I'm honestly terrified but I trust my mama. Even just last night the cat let me nap no more then a foot next to her! It's a BIG difference. I'm such a happy Puggle now!
