		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's what Spike always woofed about while on the Earth and now he keeps sending that message down from above.  It appears us doggies are too much fur mom to allow us a little Dogster time every now and then.  Guess there are too many of us who would take up her personal puter time!!  GRRRR!!   Of course she's not on as much due to life's circumstances.  Anyfur, we're just barking real quick today.

Bella & Rosie are still at odds with each other.  Jiffy barks like crazy at them to stop when they even look like they want to attack each other.  They were doing good until mom had to go run errands the other day.  When she came back it wasn't even five minutes they started to light into each other.   It could be because dad is sick in bed and they're not getting any attention from him except his hollering to get off the bed and leave him alone.  Life's little ups and downs as mom says so she tries to keep us out of the room as much as possible.  We sleeps with her on the pull out sofa bed at night now leaving dad all alone in the big bed. 

Jiffy and Rosie are going to the vet tomorrow fur their annual check ups.  That's a whole month over due, but again it's cuz of the unforeseen things going on in our lives.  Then next week Bella, Scooter, Jiffy and Rosie get their hairs cut before the Christmasy holidays.  They're looking quite shaggy right now.  Because of the fighting issues with Bella and Rosie there won't be a group photo fur Christmas this year.  Mom's trying to create us a nice card to get in the mail before this week's over. She started putting up our cards the other day when hooman brofur came to visit.  Somefur grabbed the little box of Christmasy clothespins and took it in the yard.  Thankfully Miss Rosie didn't get the box completely open and all the little pins is safe from her reach again.  Of course, she got called "bad dog" a few times.  BOL!!!  

We gotta go...must help mom with some decorating.  We're gonna have a Christmas tree this year!  Whoo-hoo...first time in a LONG time!!  Mom says the little sparkly lights are calming to sit in the darks and watch fur awhile.   

We'll try to sneak back on before the holiday so we can send some pressies to our furiends.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMD!!  We want to bark up a storm about the furtastic time we had from last Thursday afternoon up until Monday morning with our furiend's mom.  But we can't get no computer time in between mom's photo uploading, her answering FB messages, e-mails and working outside trying to get that flower bed fixed up so it's purty.  We promised not to trample over the stuff she plants, but sometimes Rosie furgets.  BOL!!!  

When Bacon, Beanie and Izzy's mom came to our house on Thursday evenings we lit into her like a long lost relative.  Rosie hit her like a "tank" and knocked her over backwards.  It was fun times fur sure cuz not many visitors let us jumps all over them and give kissies.  Scooter gave tons of kisses to Auntie Mel, Rosie wanted all the attention, Jiffy wuffed her but stayed his distance while Bella barked to get everyfur in line.  All them angel furs was grinning from ears to ears at the grand meeting of our Dogster pawrents.  We know Ernie George and Spike kept the ugly weathers away while them mamas went on adventures to New Orleans, Lake Martin, Avery Island, Laura's plantation home, the welcome center and the gator farm.  OMD!!  The weathers was pawfect despite what the weatherman said about the rains.  Good times were had by all!

We gotta run now, but will try to come back and write more and post some picfurs cuz we had the bestest of times.  We wuffs Auntie Mel!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ and we're not ready.  We don't even have our cards to put in the mail fur our furiends.  Every day we bark at the mail truck in joy hoping to see that box of cards; will they arrive today?  The only good thing we knowed about is our pawresent cuz we seen the big boxes of Greenies yesterday.  And, we finally got some odor free bully sticks cuz the pawrents don't like the smells of them others...they all good to us!

Yesterday Bella, Scooter, Jiffy and Rosie got groomed.  At least they look spiffy fur Christmas, but they Christmas card shows 'em in they true what dad calls "scruffy" look.  BOL!!   

All the angel furs are pawtying up there with Cookie and the gang who speaks of the wonderful adventures through regular diary entries.  

Many times mom thought about changing our fambly name here on Dogster, but we are keeping our name cuz it all started with Spike, Sheba and the gang in Lafayette.  Mom thought of changing it after we moved, but can't cuz we is famous in Geoffrey Bain's "Just One More Day" book.  We sent POP to his beloved Abby before she went to the bridge and there's almost two pages about Spike in the book.  Abby went to the bridge approx. a month & a half after Spike.  Our name remains cuz it includes all us furs here on the Earth and in the Heavens above.  

Merry Christmas to all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We haven't barked collectively in a long time, but think it's time today with all that's going on.  Rosie came to join us unexpectedly last month.  Sheba, Spike and Miracle say they had paws in this by guiding her to live here.  

The four of us on earth are not very happy campers today cuz some worker peeoples tore down about a fourth of the back fence and left it wide open.  That means we can't run and play outside like we want to cuz mom says we'd probably want to go exploring beyond our properties.  We've been in harnesses ALL day since them peeoples got here and mom takes us outside on leashes so we can't run too far.  I bet the neighbors had good laughs to see her handling the four of us at once.  We got crazy fur awhile then did pretty good.  Good thing we live in a neighborhood that don't have traffic running through like the old hood or she said we'd probably be walked one at a time. BOL!!!  Anyhoo, these peeoples will only finish up the gap they left so mom says we can run and play late this afternoon and up until bedtimes then another fourth of the fence will be down tomorrow fur them to do the same thing.  Gee whiz...this are ridiculous!!  

Jiffy and Rosie both are visiting the vet tomorrow morning. Rosie has to get check up before being scheduled fur spaying. Yikes, she says.  Mom was only planning to take Rosie, but called the vet to see if Jiffy could come in a week early fur his yearly checkup cuz he is due on the 15th.  Mom wanted to relieve dad of having to watch over three of us if she went with Rosie. And, since Jiffy is so attached to his new fursis mom said that would be good fur both of them to go together.  
Mom says she gots to make some notes to take so not to furgets to asks important questions.  We have an important question?  Do we really have to go??!!  BOL!!  Aaaarrrooo!!

Bella and Scooter will keep dad in line tomorrow.  BOL!!  

We will be glad when the week is over and life gets back to some kind of normal if there is a normal around this house.  We can't wait to get back to chasing each other all over the yard.  This is more like prison around here having our doggie door blocked, being put in lock-down (confined to inside), being in harnesses all day, and having to be put on leashes like a chain gang fur when going outside.  We'd better get something extra special for dinner tonight cuz this just ain't right!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy it was a HOT day, but that didn't stop mom from taking us (Bella, Scooter and Jiffy) to the groomer fur spiffing up.  What did we do to deserve that?  At least it's over, we're back home and happy to be running free again.  We went to a new place much closer to home; only a couple miles.  It's the same place where Bella & Scooter spent lots of time when they was younger before they came to live in their new furever home here.  It's called the Happy Dog Hotel.  BOL!!! BOL!!!  We made a new furiend here on Dogster.  His name is Ripley...how cool is that name?  We gotta run over and send a pup pal request.  Mom says he's a handsome guy with pretty colors.  
Gotta go back outside and rub this grooming scent off again.  It seems to stick to us.  We want our own smells back!  BOL!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We was only doing what comes natural and knowed Spike woulda done the same thing if he were here too.  You see there was this little birdie in the bushes that we was trying to get, but mom didn't appreciate our ridding the yard of the little fellow.  We were only doing what comes natural when mom says fur us to get out of the bushes and leave it alone.  The little fella ran right out onto the pool cover.  Good thing it was still on the pool or he woulda drowned fur sure.  Mom told us to get away from the area so she could flush him back to his pawrents who was squawking on the fence.  Well, if them pawrents don't want us messing with they babies then they'd better find another place to build their nest!  Anyhoo, baby bird is still somewhere in the bushes.  We'll look fur him again tomorrow while mom's not watching us.  BOL!!  Not sure when that will be cuz she's always watching us.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We got groomed today fur free after mom muddled through the issues she had wif the groomer's BIG blunder.  We won't go into all the details, but we were scheduled fur grooming on March 24th.  When we got to the place all them ladies had the big shocked looks on they faces like we'd stole a Georgia mule.  There was a problem wif the person who was doing scheduling from they home and didn't write us in the book after mom talked with them on March 15th.  Mom knowed them dates cuz she always writes things on the calendar.  And she'd called them twice during the day to ask about getting scheduled; once in the morning and then again in the afternoon when nobody had returned the call.

Anyhoo...the lady who owns the place and mom talked today.  All that are behind us and mom furgives them peeples, but we gotta tell ya our mom was sweating over this problem fur two weeks.  Her biggest problem was deciding whether she dared to trust us in they hands again.  She likes the place and WE do too because they don't lock us up in cages.  Theys lets us play in a special room.  Mom stayed fur awhile, but then she left to run some errands.  When she returned theys had no idea what times she'd be back...it made her smile to see us running around having fun times while the ladies was grooming other doggies.  It sounds like we will be going back there again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ and don't even knowed what it means, but our mom has been sweating over our name now that we moved out of the city and living in another town.  She says we need to change our name, but then she has issues with that cuz the name come mostly fur Sheba and Spike since she always called them "Rascals."  And they both home place was Lafayette.  They never knowed this place called Arnaudville, but they've been flying down to check us out often.  

We are scratching our ears right along with mom as we roll this thing over in our heads.  Why mom's always "sweat the small stuff?!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy, we have a BIG back yard now to run and play in.  We moved on March 4th and haven't slowed down yet.  We're having the times of our lives.  Sheba, Spike, Miracle, Peppy and Cricket have all flown down from the Rainbow Bridge to check it out while the rest of us mortals have been busy sleeping at night from exhaustion.  BOL!!   

Sheba spent her second year at the Rainbow Bridge on March 11th and we all wish to thank everyone fur thinking about mom's "Pretty Girl."  It was an emotional day fur mom as she was thinking about her.  Mom couldn't bear to throw out Sheba's bed railings so they traveled to our new home and now are in the work shop.  Mom's so crazy about those kinda things we know.  She set up the memorial lamp stand right next to her side of the bed.  It has Sheba, Spike and Peppy's ashes; one on each shelf, along with special mementos of each special angel.

Bella was Dog of the Day on Sheba's second year at the Rainbow Bridge.  If it hadn't been fur Lucy and Daisy's mom posting on our mom's Facebook page we never would have known about it until later cuz mom's been bad again fur not letting us play on Dogster like we want!!  Bad mom!!  Bad mom!!  We guess she would have gone in to "talk" to Sheba's page, but might have missed Bella featured on the Community Page.  Now if we can get some help in fixing our banners we may keep mom around fur awhile longer.  BOL!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ and we haven't barked collectively fur quite awhile now.  So much going on this month.  Jiffy's been here fur two whole months.  He's really adapted very well.  Everyone loves that little cutie!

Peppy celebrated 10 years at the bridge on the 19th.  Mom said it doesn't seem like that little lap baby's been gone so long.  Scooter will be four years old tomorrow and Sheba would have been fifteen later this month if that nasty C hadn't taken her away from us.  Miracle came to be a part of our furmily three years ago this month, but it's sad she didn't get to enjoy more time here.  We have to keep reminding each other she got to know true love before going to the bridge.  

Bella goes to get dental cleaning tomorrow and Scooter gets an annual check up on his barkday!  Then next week we all have a big announcement to make.

We must apawlogize fur not getting Valentine's cards mailed out this year.  We wuf the pretty cards we got from Daisy and Lucy.  Those will go in our special scrapbook after mom scans them to show off.  BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lots of stuff to catch up on, but we don't have time to write much.  You'd think it was Spring times around here already cuz mom's been hauling out lotsa stuff either giving it away or chucking it in the garbage can!  OMD! She even threw out a couple of our old toys cuz they had some strings hanging on 'em.  Jiffy wufs to remove tags from all the toys and he shredded the rope to the point mom say it's dangerous fur us to play with now cuz we might eat the strings.  

It's been a cold winter.  Today was a good sunny day, but now the temps dropped again and it will rain tonight...more winter weather up until the weekend.  We hopes the weekend comes fast!  We wufs to be out in the sunshine.  At least we gots to enjoy it today...even Jiffy was laying out on the concrete by the pool just like Sheba used to do.  Mom say she needs to take a trip to the pet store to get us some more bully sticks cuz we are out.  She gotta look fur place online to have them delivered to the front door!  Some fur posted a long time ago about a place to get 'em bulk at cheaper rates so she gotta find that information soon...maybe we won't run out if she orders on the Internet.  Good grief...we could do that fur her!!  BOL!!

Mom sad cuz she found Rupert lifeless at the bottom of the bird cage so now Tweety lives alone in that big old cage.  Mom say Lovebirds need lots of attentions if they don't have a mate so mom has to spend more time with Tweety so she ain't so lonely.  At least we don't gets the blame fur Rupert going to the Rainbow Bridge although many times we've wanted to catch a bird.  Now he's up there probably teasing Spike again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href ="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f133/rmhand/Dogs/Jiffy.jpg">Jiffy</a> the cutie little Sheba, Spike and Miracle all rolled up into one will soon be part of our fambly.  Mom just gots to get him here all the way from the Nebraska.  

Mom posted big Facebook announcement last night to let all her friends knowed about little Jiffy.  This is what she said last night after reading the e-mail message from HUA (Hearts United for Animals):  "BIG Announcement!!! HUA Adoption Committee has approved the adoption of Jiffy into our family. I'm going to faint...can't wait to pick up this adorable little fellow. Tomorrow I'll go get him a special doggie bed of his own and start making plans to go get him."   She say this in post today:  "It happened so quickly I haven't been thinking rationally and need more divine intervention to get little Jiffy home safely for Christmas. It's been MANY years since I've been exposed to snow, ice and all that type weather, but if roads are clear I'm up to driving the 907 miles to get him. It's less than half the distance from here to my hometown in Maine, which I've driven at least three or four times in my lifetime during summer weather."

Mom say Jiffy gonna be wuffed furever and ever.  She on missions today to get him special bed and say she can't wait to spoil him.  He probably gonna have to fights fur lap time with Bella, but Bella say she'll share mom's lap wif baby Jiffy.

We must get off puter and start making plans fur welcoming Jiffy to the fambly.   Thank you Spike, Sheba, Miracle and our dearest furiend Ernie George fur sending little Jiffy to our home.  Bless all the little doggies...especially those looking fur homes...we wish they'd all get a new furever home too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ But that's all because of mom playing games on the Facebook instead of fixing our pages and letting us play in the forums.  Bad mom!!  Bad, bad, bad, Mom!!  Look at our background.  She tells us we are just early fur the Christmas holiday like all the stores have those decorations out now.  Good grief!!  Then she gots to get our banners fixed, but fur some reasons she can't get her act together long enough to work on them!  Bad, bad, bad, Mom!  Neglecting us is not a good thing!

She did do something really cool though and that was finally get a painting done of Sheba & Spike.  She fretted over that fur a long time and then ding, a light bulb went off after she saw the beautiful work of a fellow Dogster pawrent.  Bella & Scooter posed with the special painting before it gets framed & hung on the wall.  Now she is fretting over leaving it anywhere and said she's going to go find a nice wood frame and do it herself.  What is wrong with moms!?  They worries about the littlest of things...that was dad's words!  

Bella did a pawesome job in helping get cards to the Pet Postcard Project to help feed the shelter pets.  With mom's help she did 251 cards using a few furiend's pictures too.  We hope the furiends like what we did.  We've had issues with the  Dogster site too in that sometimes it don't let us always see pictures or it will give errors and we can't get to the site.  Lately, knock on wood, it's been working okay, but mom got frustrated when we couldn't get in when she wanted fur copying pictures fur making the cards.  

We gots to get off the puter already today, but will hopefully come back and bark some more notes in our diary or else we furgets our activities.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our furiendly mail delivery guy brought a package to our door.  Scooter wanted to go outside with mom to greet him, but she said no, fur us to stay in the house.  OMD...Bo sent us some cool goodies, not to mention a pawsonalized copy of his very own book titled, "Bad To The Bone."  Not to get off track here, but isn't it ironic how mom dressed us all in those bone bandanas last year and called us bad to the bone!!  BOL!   Those picfurs are still posted here on our page.  

Bo's book would make the most <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Bone-Memoir-Doggie-Blogger/dp/0806531290/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260582331&sr=1-1">Pawfect Holiday Gift and is available at Amazon's site</a>.  Mom said she's gonna start reading it to us a chapter at a time and we can't wait. We knowed it's gonna be good cuz it's about Bo, but since we haven't read it yet we can't rate it.  But mom says twenty customers rated Bo's book at the Amazon site and all twenty gave it five stars each!!  The highest rating.  Way to go, Bo.    Condogulations on a pawfect rating!!!   

We gots a really cool blue ball made by dogtronics.  It's a lot of fun to roll around the floor cuz it flickers constantly. The only problem is we can't tear it apart....it's hard plastic and no way that we can destroy it.  We're almost sure Sheba would try if she was here, but mom says she don't even think Sheba could have destroyed this ball.  It's like indestructible!!   We also got a hedgehog hop, also made by dogtronics.  It scared us cuz it hops around all over the floor like he's having spasm attacks....he's so funny.   And we got a light toy in the shape of a bone.  It's also made by dogtronics and is orange in color so should be easy to find should mom misplace it.  

The Christmas card has seven bulldogs with Santy Claws hats on.  They is so cute!    All this come to us cuz we won that big stocking drawing we barked about in a previous diary entry.  Aarroooo!!  

Now all we need is that gigantic stocking to arrive so mom can get busy with that picfur taking.  She said if it don't get here on Monday she will take one without it cuz we needs to send a card to all our furiends.   

Needless to say we had a purty good day today after all, but we still is a little sad that our dear furiend Casper is battling that nasty C.  We all say extra pawrayers for her every night.]]></content:encoded>

We'll send a special card to any pup who sends us one...we have a few on our list already.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our sweet furiend <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/812092/diary/Mama_loves_me_second_best">Izzy barked about gratefulness better than we could say it ourselves</a>, but we are thankful for so many things despite it being a sad year fur us.

Bella & Scooter are grateful to spend a second year in their new furever home.  They learned the ropes from Sheba and Spike who continue to look down on them every day.

Sheba is thankful for thirteen years with mom.  What a wonderful life she had after dad rescued her from that evil man who was planning to take her for a ride and dump her on some country road.  She is also thankful to so many furiends on Dogster who she got to know and have fun with, especially in the KKC as she danced up a storm in those red high heels and to her best furiends in SBU where she could be top dog every single day.  She is thankful for so many in all the groups for sending so much love & prayers when she was ill & went to the bridge in March.  

Spike is thankful for ten wonderful years with mom.  He was King of the Yard and all of  his domain.  He done a great job of keeping out unwanted critters.   Spike is thankful fur so many furiends in many groups on Dogster who he had fun barking at and playing games with. Spike barks he is also thankful for so many Dogster pals & their moms who pawrayed he could beat the big C and stay with mom longer.  Mom  is missing him & Sheba on this Thanksgiving Day; the first without them right there by her side. Sheba and Spike was always at her feet in the kitchen when the foods were getting ready cuz something just mighta falled on the floor.  

Miracle is thankful fur all the help in making her #1 in the brickfish contest earlier this year and fur her furiends continued love showered upon her.  She is thankful mom rescued her from the doggie jail last year and she got to know lots of wuf before going to the Rainbow Bridge.  

Peppy and Cricket are thankful fur having been wuffed and treated like princesses during their times on Earth.

Despite the year being a sad one mom says she would have gone to the nut house if not fur so many of our Dogster furiend's moms giving her support through the worst year of her life.  She is thankful fur Dogster and all the moms who reached out to her this year.

Dog Bless our furiends and their pawrents on this Thanksgiving Day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We cannot believe today is Sheba's eight month anniversary at the  Rainbow Bridge and tomorrow will be Spike's first month anniversary there.   Mom's trying to get her journals & scrapbooks in order before she forgets those special times with Sheba & Spike.  They was her constant companions for thirteen and ten years and left a big void in this house.  Mom misses them so much....there's a stillness in the house without Sheba's demanding barks and Spike's comical antics...not to mention their special pawsonalities and so much more.  Mom expects to see them coming through the doggie door any minute now...maybe they'll come to visit tonight.

Here's a special poem mom read today..it's called  "A Dog for Jesus," and was written by Rudyard Kipling.


A Dog for Jesus (where dogs go when they die)

I wish someone had given Jesus a dog.
As loyal and loving as mine.
To sleep by His manger and gaze in His eyes
And adore Him for being divine.

As our Lord grew to manhood His faithful dog,
Would have followed Him all through the day.
While He preached to the crowds and made the sick well
And knelt in the garden to pray.
It is sad to remember that Christ went away.
To face death alone and apart.
With no tender dog following close behind,
To comfort its Master's Heart.
And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn,
How happy He would have been,
As His dog kissed His hand and barked it's delight,
For The One who died for all men.

Well, the Lord has a dog now, I just sent Him mine,
The old pal so dear to me.
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone,
Knowing they're in eternity.
Day after day, the whole day through,
Wherever my road inclined,
Four feet said, "Wait, I'm coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.]]></content:encoded>

She's been sick with the vomiting and getting weak.  We've all got our paws crossed that it is just an upset tummy.  Here's hoping all our furiends say extra pawrayers for Izzy that all her tests show she is the picture of excellent health as she visits her dogtor tomorrow.
We also got Izzy's whole fambly in our pawrayers cuz we know how stressful and frightening it is when a fur gets sick.   God Bless Izzy, Ernie G., and their pawrents Mel and Ezra.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since our last entry we lost our furbro, Spike to sarcoma.   We all prayed for a miracle to happen and was hoping that mass would shrink or at least not grow, but it grew so huge within two months it seems unreal.  It grew three times the size it was originally seen in August and was taking up 3/4ths of Spike's chest area.   Mom's little buddy fought a courageous battle against that nasty C, but it beat him like it's done to so many other furs.  Mom says life will never be the same for her again.  
Two weeks ago today Spike turned ten years old.  Mom thinks he wanted to make sure he made his tenth barkday before letting the C take over.  Now Spike is up there in doggie Heaven with Sheba, his bestest pal whom he thought was his new mama.  Mom's missing them both something terribly and wonders how/why both ended up with cancer within such a short period of time of each other.   

God Bless our newest angel, Spike.   We miss him here on Earth...he is gone from here, but will never be forgotten.   We know he's watching down on us from doggie heaven. Until he meets mom at the bridge with all the other angel furmily members he will always be right here in her heart furever and ever!

We won a Snuggle Sack from the <a href ="http://betterwords.typepad.com/petpostcardproject">Pet Post Card Project</a>.   It arrived in the mail on Thursday and it's really cool.  Bella is enjoying it cuz she loves to get under blankets.  <a href ="http://www.petsnugglesacks.com">Check Out The Snuggle Sacks Here</a>.  Ours is red/white striped and really cool.  Mom says she'll try to take a picture of Bella snuggling in it real soon.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMD!   Here we are into the month of August already!   We just can't believe the way time flies.  Mom says it has something to do with age; the older we get the faster time flies, but we don't know about that.  The most important times for us is when it's time to eat, time for a treat, time for play, time to run around outside, and time to sleep.  Hey...we are dogs...we don't get the time flying thing, but we do know mom has been stingy with our Dogster time a whole lot!  BOL!  BOL!!   And if anyfur is interested in knowing why it's because she has been farming so doggone much!!!   What in the world is this farming thing?  And, she's also decorating an apartment...OMD...our mom has become addicted to farming and yoyo land.  What's a dog to do around here to get some Dogster time???

In June we had a visitor hanging around our front door.  It was a cute little gray kitten which finally got adopted by the neighbor's kid next door.  Mom was feeding Smoky for awhile, but was happy she's got a home.

Spike got a few teeth pulled in June, but he's doing well with no problems eating without those teeth.   He was also a diary pick during he month of June and barked about it in his diary.  

<a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/794702">Sunny Lee's</a> mama made a pawesome CD for our mom and included a big bag of delicious natural dog treats (Charlie Bears) and three small squeaker tennis balls for us.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful furiends.  Mom started buying us Charlie Bears...we got one of each kind last week and wuf them all!! 

Spike was also chosen as diary for the entire week at one of his groups.  He also barked loud about that.  And, Spike barked loud about our gigantic Greenies we got from Ernie George & Izzy's mom.  Aaaroooo!!! 

We got some BIG news about winning cards in the  <a href ="http://betterwords.typepad.com/petpostcardproject">Pet Post Card Project</a> for the month of May.   SHEBA had three winning cards, Spike had one and Bella had one!!   Aaarroooooo!!!   Some of our fantastic prizes already got here...the cleaning products we got earlier this year when we won before and a picture is in our photo album here.  The rawhide chews arrived too, but mom is giving those away.   It's fun winning prizes, but more exciting knowing we helped homeless pets get food.

Miracle was a diary pick on June 4th and Sheba was a diary pick on our dad's birthday, July 27th.   We thank all our furiends for sending our angel furs special messages and rosettes when their diaries were picked.  

We have to bark about <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/forums/Plus_Informational/thread/558808/1" target=new>Mica\'s IMHA Research</a> as it is so dear to us pawsonally.  All of our furiends know it took Miracle away from us all too soon just as she was starting to enjoy her new life here.  Mom still misses her a whole lot and it's hard to believe it's coming upon a year since she went to Rainbow Bridge.  And now Sheba is there with her sprinkling angel dust on mom every night while she sleeps to help heal her  broken heart.  Mom's doing better and will be okay cuz she's farming these days.   We are happy she has something that is helping to heal the constant sadness that overwhelms her.

Big hugs, licks and tail wags to all our wonderful furiends.]]></content:encoded>

If you don't want to be greeted with paws and swinging tails
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

If you don't like the feel of a cold nose or wet tongue,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

If you don't want to step over scattered toys,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

If you think a home ought to smell of perfume,
Don't come inside, because DOGS LIVE HERE.

But if you don't mind all of this,
You will be instantly loved when you do come inside,
Because DOGS LIVE HERE.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom became very depressed after Sheba's bridge crossing on March 11th.  Yes, it's already been two months since our "Pretty Girl" left us.  It's been such a sad time for mom, but the rest of us have been working hard on cheering her up.  We also want to extend a great big thank you to all the pawrents who have sent special messages, cards, etc. reaching out to our mom during this most difficult time.   Anybody who's lost a fur knows how hard it is; losing two in less than a year took a toll on our mom.  Losing <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/744404">Miracle</a> was a crushing blow cuz mom fell head over heels for that sweet little girl who seemed to be improving and doing well.  Miracle was so happy here then that nasty AIHA had to latch onto her.  Thank dog she came to know love and happiness in our home before she crossed Rainbow Bridge.

<a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/706858">Sheba</a> was mom's special baby who slept beside mom on the bed every single night.  She's been sleeping there for thirteen years so you can only imagine how lost mom is without that big furball next to her.  Spike was showing signs of grieving also and mom was worried about him, but he is doing better now.  Mom always said she believes Spike thought Sheba was his adopted mama cuz he came to live with her as a baby.   She was almost four years old when Spike got here and Sheba mothered him from day one.  They had a strong bond and each would become upset when separated from the other.  

<a href ="http://betterwords.typepad.com/petpostcardproject"> Dogvice got a overhaul and is called the Pet Postcard Project</a>.  We have been blessed that most of our cards have been accepted and posted on the site.   It's great that we helped feed homeless pets.  Mom plans to do some more cards real soon.  We have also been very blessed to have one of our cards chosen as a winner for the month of March.  Today mom got two boxes delivered by Fed-Ex.  They contained what <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/695843">Marley Bob</a> called the "Dingo Motherload" cuz there was a whole bunch of Dingo treats, along with shampoo, conditioner, some spray, bath wipes, and Natures Miracle.  We posted a picture for all to see.  What a wonderful surprise.  

Power of the Paw to our dear furiends <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/870782">Hanna Banana</a>  and  <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/781465">Monnie</a>.  We pray they and any other furs who are ill will soon be well and back to normal very soon.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow!!!  We are so honored to be on Dogvice and Dogfessions.  

Today Spike, Bella and Scooter are on <a href ="http://www.dogfessions.com"> under the caption "Pack has your back"</a>.   If you go further into the site you'll also see Spike on the second page under the date March 16th with the caption that says " I confess . . . I need to taste it" and Sheba under the date March 13th dressed in her pink Tutu costume with a caption that says "Maybe Dog Lake."

Bella's on Dogvice under yesterday's date. You can see her on the back of the couch in an enhanced photo mom made using the Blingee site to celebrate her barkday.  Miracle is on Dogvice under March 13th with the caption "For BillieBob and Family."  

We've been seeing a lot of our furiends from all over Dogster on both sites too.  How exciting that we are all helping a great cause.  The site's card goal is 6,000 and the current card talley is 993.  Mom said she will be printing and sending some more real soon.  

1 card received = 1 pound of dog food!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a month it's been. It all started out with Miracle entering the Brickfish Campaign then ending up in 19th place despite a big boost with help from her Dogster furiends.  She's now in a new campaign to bring attention to the Animal Rescue Site in hopes of educating more people about a click a day helps feed & care for homeless pets.  If we win any monies will be distributed to Mica's IMHA Research Fund and our local rescue group in Miracle's memory.  She continues to do good as a very special angel. Current ranking in the contest is number 3 with a total score of 5367.73.  We have a good chance at winning this one for Miracle.  

Bella & Scooter spread Kleenex tissues all over the computer room on the 5th cuz our pawrents left us all alone for about two hours.

Spike and Bella are part of the KKC Aarroo Band. Spike plays guitar and sings while Bella is the lead singer.  

We all got tagged, some of us more than once, and we all barked about it in our diaries.  We even barked in here!  

Bella got a surprise package in the mail from her boyfuriend, Dugen.  She wanted to keep everything, but the collar was way too big for her so mom sent it back.  It was very pretty too....pink with rhinestone bones...perfect for Bella.  Her Valentine entry in the Schnauzers Rule group tied in third place.  She wrote it for Dugen.

Spike asked Kady to be his girlfuriend on the 12th and she barked "Yes."   Sheba won 3rd Prize in Spreading Love in the Nannerlicious-Contest on the 12th!

Bella's Valentine and boyfuriend is Dugen.  Spike's Valentine was Kady.  Sheba's was unofficially Ernie George, and Scooter had two Valentine's (Lilly and Sophie Bean).  What a month it was with all the wuf going around!  

Our diary was a pick of the day on the 17th.  Spike was also named the Kit Kat Club's Comedian of the Week on the 17th.

Sheba was a diary pick on the 18th!!

Scooter is entered in the Spay Day 2009 Contest.

One of our dear furiend's, Lassie, crossed Rainbow Bridge on the 22nd.

Scooter turned two years old on the 22nd and Sheba turns 13 tomorrow!!   

And we now all have our very own Kong, which we barked about yesterday.  Sophie Bean barked at Scooter and told him to call the police cuz it must be a crime against doggies not to have Kongs!!  Now you can send 'em back cuz mom came through.  She's pulling down recipes from the Kong site.  She put those few little biscuits that came with the Kongs & the peanut buttery stuff in them earlier this morning and she said we were all "quiet as church mice"  for a change.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We've been wanting to bark in our diary since yesterday afternoon when mom returned from Petco.  She didn't even take one of us with her.  Shame on mom!  We heard the ad on TV that says Petco is where the pets go so how come we couldn't go??  We barked for an answer, but mom says we're too much of a "handful."  

Thanks to Scooter's furiends for making him the winner of the January Luv My Pet contest.  He got two $50 gift cards in the mail earlier this month.  Mom finally cashed them in for a big bag of dog food for him and Bella, one strong tough Kong for each of us with some of the peanut butter stuff that goes inside, some of the Halo treats she said she'll stuff inside too, and each of us got a St. Patty's Day bandana that says 100% Irish with big red lips, and Spike got a St. Patty's tie that says "Kiss Me I'm Irish."  He really is the TB cuz he's the only one who got a tie.  Mom said it's cuz they only had one and she couldn't resist not getting it.  She also said Spike can share that with Scooter.   Scooter's got a picture on his page posing with everything.  There's also one here of Bella & Scooter.   We're so excited to have Kongs cuz we've heard so many pups bark about them.   <a href ="http://www.dogster.com//dogs/544478">Sophie Bean</a> shared some recipes with Scooter and we can't wait to try some of those with cheese, with yogurt, with peanut butter....yummy, yummy.  We wanted to try them all in one day, but mom says no; one at a time!   Sometimes mom is no fun but we are so happy we got Kongs!!!!

Aaaaroooooo!!! Aaaaroooooo!!! Aaaaroooooo!!!   BOL!!!  We all got KONGS!!!!]]></content:encoded>

Peppy had a pretty blue suede collar with clear rhinestones and Cricket's was brown suede with colored rhinestones.  

2. What kind of food do you eat? Mom has to maintain three plastic bins for our food cuz Sheba eats Science Diet D/D, which is a hypoallergenic type food to help with her allergies, Spike eats Purina Overweight Management (OM) prescribed food cuz he's on a diet, Bella & Scooter both eat Nutro Ultra Holistic Food for Small Breed Dogs.  Mom mixes a little bit of Duck Formula soft food in all of our dishes to make it tastier. Actually it was for Sheba's benefit cuz she refused the dry food!!

5. Do you get Table Scraps? No we don't get any table scraps unless dad sneaks them behind mom's back. She knows it has happened, but he pleads the fifth!!  

6. What is your favorite toy?  Sheba's favorite toy is the  Glo-Ball, but she says mom needs to get her a new one cuz she's playing with a chewed one now; Spike's is the big knotted rope, but he also loves Loofa dogs and a Milkbone puppy which you can see him shaking in our video posted on our page; Miracle didn't play with toys; Bella & Scooter's favorite is the laser light when mom plays with us, but without mom it's the Loofa dogs.  Mom pawromised to get us all dog Kongs when she visits Petco to cash in Scooter's big winnings!!  We are still waiting mom!!!  

7. When is your Birthday?  Sheba's barkday is February 28, 1996 and she will be 13 years old this month; Spike's is October 10, 1999 and he will be be ten years old this year; Miracle's gotcha day was February 27, 2008 , she was approximately ten years old, and she crossed Rainbow Bridge on August 19, 2008 ( a very sad day for us all); Bella's is January 20, 2007; Scooter's is February 22, 2007; Peppy's was September 10, 1986 and she crossed Rainbow Bridge on February 19, 2001; and, Cricket's was June 22, 1988 and she crossed Rainbow Bridge in the 90s, but mom has to find her diaries for the correct date.

Miracle is still here with us in spirit and we're all trying to win a contest for Miracle so donations can be made to causes in her name.  Sheba has another vet visit tomorrow; follow up on her eye problem.  Mom says it feels odd to have another visit on the 19th cuz Sheba's last visit was the 19th of January.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are all running around barking and arrooooing like crazy cuz we're a dairy pick today.  Mom says we are quite a bunch of barkers when we got something to say!!!  BOL!!!  

We only got one thing to bark about right now and that's Miracle's message.

Miracle's Message:

Thank you all my wonderful furiends! We came in at number 11, but now mommy decided to enter a new campaign to bring awareness to the Animal Rescue Site and now hopes to win. My new entry is under "What are you Passionate About?" Most of you know mommy is very supportive of the AIHA/IMHA research fund and our local animal rescue foundation. She has no intentions of going to L.A. if she wins (that's the grand prize). She hopes it can be cashed in or she can raffle it for money for these two causes. Same with any other winnings from this campaign; if we win one of the makeup gift packs it will be raffled to help the causes.

The voting ends on March 9th, but furs can vote more than once a day. I am currently at number 33, but with the power of Dogster furiends we're sure to win. After all we went from number 235 all the way to number 19 within four days during the first campaign!!!

If you choose to help me win go to <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?picid=822831_16887590&pid=1771937&scid=409" target=new>Miracle's Campaign</a> and vote for me as often as possible. It will tell you once you've voted how many hours you have to wait before you can return to vote again. 

And if you would pawlease leave a review; brief comment or long review cuz we believe it helps with the rating.  This has not been confirmed, but I was told this during the first campaign.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ THANK YOU to ALL our WONDERFUL DOGSTER PALS!!!!!!!   You truly are the best!  <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/744404">Miracle</a> is smiling down from Heaven above at all the outpouring of love.   It is truly amazing how we were at number 235 last Friday, but after posting here on Dogster we ended up at number 19.  The power of Dogster furiends is pawesome!  We asked for help and everyfur came through, but we should have asked sooner. Mom entered another campaign with <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?picid=822831_16887590&pid=1771937&scid=409" target=new>Miracle's beautiful photo</a>.  

Mom was so touched by some of the nice comments left about Miracle.  One said, "...you can see the love in those eyes."  Another comment came from the mother of an entry mom had been supporting.  She said, "This picture really captures the personality and heart of this little one!!!"  That brought tears to mom's eyes, but she went back and posted this reply:  "Thank you for the wonderful comment about Miracle's photo. I guess that explains why it's my favorite photo of her. It was taken approx. two weeks after I rescued her. I was sitting on the couch talking to her while taking pictures. Needless to say she stole my heart right away and I still miss her so much."   The photo is still one of her favorites.  She thinks Miracle was saying thank you for saving me, bringing me into your home and I wuf you already.

The comments came from our furiends here on Dogster, from mom's fellow Toby Warriors and from strangers.  What a great place to reach out to others and bring awareness for the pets like Miracle who end up in a pound somewhere wondering if they'll get another chance before they're number is called.  

Our new entry is also getting attention as it is at number 31.  Mom entered another campaign to bring attention to the Animal Rescue Site... to those who may not know about feeding homeless pets by simply clicking the purple button.   Most everyfur we know already is aware of this pawesome site so we won't go posting all over Dogster to drum up votes for this one.  Mom is passionate about this, but is not excited about the  prize this time around unless it can be turned in for cash.  It's a makeover trip to L.A. for herself.   She would rather be home with us doggies than travel anywhere again.  If there's another campaign with prize money she will post more vigorously here because a portion of any monetary winnings will go to <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/504880" target=new>Mica's </a> IMHA Research fund in Miracle's memory.

One of our dear furiends <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/406755">Rufus</a> posted a special review on the new entry.  Thanks, Rufus.  You will always be special to us too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a month it's been.  We've won a few contests and had lots of fun here on Dogster.  

Spike has been Comedian of the week a few times at the KKC, had a blast in the Secret Pal exchange at Schnauzers Rule and luvs Dogster very much.

Sheba has a few medical issues, but those are under control for the time being.  She's still taking several meds and is on a special diet for her allergies.

Bella turned two this past Tuesday.  She's one popular little girl now.  She won KKC's best dancer last night with her pal Dugen.  They were dancing up a storm!

Scooter's a diary pick today.  He luvs to play and give kisses more than write, but he's in a photo contest which we hope he comes out the winner.  If he does he'll win $100 to spend at Petco.  We're all rooting for Scooter to be the winner <a href ="http://www.luvmypetphoto.com/votenow.php?pid=2640">HERE</a>.  Just for voting some other lucky pup can also win a $100 gift card.  

We still miss Miracle a whole lot and wonder where she was this time last year.  She is still here furever in spirit.

We support the <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Dogster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/71113/?refer=7938.08.1230088687.1164" target=new>Animal Rescue Foundation of LA</a> and hope others will help the foundation win $10,000 to help keep doing the great work it does by finding pets new furever homes.   Our wish is that all our furiends and lots more dogs here on Dogster will help by voting for this foundation.  
With all the doggies in the house now this could also help us cuz our mom could win a $50 gift certificate for being a top recruiter.  We are delighted to see some of our furiends have voted and we appreciate their help.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Throughout the past many stories have been told,
Some very new - some very old.
Stories of guardian angels may have been said to you,
Of Angels in many different forms, but all of these are true.
You see - guardian angels take the form of something close to you.

One may be wondering how they find that special one,
The one they care and love for, to play with and have fun,
What isn't told, is the simple fact that the angel chooses you,
The bond that you would share isn't made up, it is true.
They may finally choose to take your side - when you least expect it,
They will cheer you up when your depressed, their love - you can't avoid it.

When your together you feel free,
When alone you're lonely and sad.
The fact that their life is just so short,
Just tends to make you mad.
Love them while you can,
And be happy for them when they're free,
Because a pet's life is a precious thing,
A rare commodity.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/602634">George</a> nominated Sheba for <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/658660">Emma's</a> "Christmas Paws" Baskets!!  

George's nomination says:  "I nominate Sheba.
Sheba is a rescue who had back surgery over 5 years ago when she ruptured a disc and her regular vet said she would have to be put to sleep furever. Thank dog her Mom said no and she is a happy, healthy baby now."

Emma wrote in the <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/forums/Plus_Fun/thread/570908/12">Plus Fun Thread</a> "Sheba....... we wanted you to know, that as part of our gift to you.... we are mailing off a donation - on behalf of you and your family - to Mica's IMHA Research Fund."

We're so thankful to George for this nomination because part of the gift is a donation to help <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/504880">Mica's IMHA Research Fund</a>.    Sweet Angel <a href ="http://www.dogster.com/dogs/744404">Miracle</a> is smiling down on all of us right now!  We're so proud and happy about this.  God Bless every one and especially all the furs who were taken from us too soon by this horrible disease.]]></content:encoded>
