I am a shelter dog, waiting for the day
When someone will come along and pick me
Take me home, forever I will stay
Until that day here I am in this home
She cares for me, she took me in
Now I am no longer alone
This is not bad although she says it’s only for a short time
Why not forever I ask?
I think this house is rather divine.
I love rolling in the dirt and chasing the black cat
Snoozing the sunny days away, lying on my comfy mat
One week passed and sadly she said it was my time to go
I did not want to return to that place
I wanted this to be my home
She looked into my eyes and that was when she saw
The love that I was capable
And that was what made her sure
I was battered and broken
No spirit left in me
She wanted to restore that
She had faith in me
So off she went back to that place
She signed the forms with a huge smile on her face
She returned home and said to me
“You wont return, you don’t have to worry
Everything will be fine you’ll see.
We’re in this together, you and me”
Sharna was my very first foster dog and the very first dog that I ever adopted. She was with me for two and a hlaf short but wonderous years. She will always hold a special place in my heart and I am honoured to have know such a special dog.

This is extremely unexpected, I hardly ever write in my diary since I went to the bridge but I did write an entry for the Adopt 09 Contest recently. Thank you HQ for this honour!

Well last year I entered and mum put her everything into my entry, there is no way we could top that so this year I'll be entering in the new category.
My mum has been working with animals since she was 11 volunteering for a year at the local horse riding place. She sure did love it there but she wanted to move onto her true passion which was dogs. Mum had to wait until she was 12 to start voluneering at the shelter but before she would go with her mum to spend some time with the cats and give them some loving since people tend to pay more attention to the dogs.
Then one week after her 12th birthday she went in to volunteer for the first time and it was amazing. She loved being around all the dogs and doing things to help them even if some of the jobs were not very pleasant. She felt fantastic when she would adopt a dog out knowing they were getting their happy ending.
Over the 5 years mum was at the shelter she saw alot of things, some too cruel for words and some too amazing and happy for words. There are still certain dogs that she grew attached too and will always love. It is so great when you run into the adopted dogs with their new families and seeing just how happy the dog is and knowing that you helped that.
The happiest moment are when the dogs that have been at the shlter for over a year get adopted. There are always tears when a dog that has been in the shelter care for so long gets adopted, they are both sad and happy tears because this dog is finally getting a second chance at life.
Mum was even interviewed for the newspaper about her work at the shelter. Of course she saved Shandi, Zara and I from the shelter. Mum also recently held a contest on dogster to help raise money for the local shelter. She also takes Shandi to the Million Paws Walk every year, where all money goes to the RSPCA to help animals in need.
Now she is studying to be a vet nurse and has almost completed her first year. Now she can help save lives of animals in a different way. The clinic has a perminant "adopted" dog, she wasnt adopted from a shelter but she was saved from a life of pigging.

Today my sweet Sharna is I listened to 'our' song. The song that I listened to over and over when you first passed. Helped me so much! Now I havent listened to that song for months now but today I was telling a friend about it and I found it online. I started listening to the song and about half way through the tears started flowing I couldnt stop them. Now I havent cried over your death for a while now, I have come close but I'm more focused on the good times now. But today it was different, I have cried a few times when thinking about you. I miss you my darling Sharna!

While uploading pictures to your page yesterday just made me think of all those wonderful times we shared together. I remember the way you used to do zoomies after every bath, the way you would always nudge my hand with your head, when we used to play wrestle downstairs. Then the not so good times when you peed on my bed or when you brought that lovely dead rat inside. No matter what you were an amazing dog and I'll love you forever. We shared a special bond and even though it has been over a year now you are still alive in my heart.
Always missing my little flea,
Sharna's mum

Well my sweet Sharna, it has been over one year since you left my life although you will neve truely be gone. One of my friends mentioned a song that brought tears to her eyes, a sweet song played on the piano. Now I am not really in to that kinda of music usually but this song truely is something special. The first second that I heard it I started to think of you and it brought tears to my eyes. I dont know what it is about this song but it just gets my right in my heart.
Please stop by Sharna's page and listen to this amazing song!

Mum was looking through some old photos of when she first got me and I had no grey around my mouth at all. She scanned them and uploaded one yesterday. She's still trying to find the photo on the day of my adoption. It used to be on the fridge but since we moved she doesnt know where it is.

I know this may confuse you all because my crossing date is Sepmber 12th but here in Australia we are 11-17 hours ahead of the USA so today is actually the 12th here which is when I passed.
Sharna's Mum:
This is Sharna's mum talking now. I know that it came as a shock to everyone when Sharna passed, mostly because it was so sudden. It was a terrible day for my whole family and I still remember it very cleary. I dont want to remember Sharna as the dog I saw on the vet table that sad day, I want to remember her as the strong, loving and gentle dog that she was.
I was reading through her diary entry yesterday and I found one from the day before she passed. As I read it a huge smile went across my face and I couldnt help but laugh. Here is what it said.
Did I hear a dog?
September 10th 2007 1:44 pm [link to this entry]
Last night I was lying on the floor next to the couch scrathing myself and mum was flicking through the TV channels. She saw Air Bud and stopped on that channel because she loves Golden Retrievers. Anywho, it was up to one part when Air Bud was whinning and barking. As soon as I heard the whinning I turned around and started whinning back. I got up and looked every where for that dog and the noises just kept coming. I just couldnt find him. Then mum started laughing at me and I couldnt figure out why. Silly humans.
You were happy up until that sad day and I am thankful for everyday that you were in my life. You will always hold a special place in my heart no matter how much time goes on.
I found this song by one of my favourite artists, Delta Goodrem and I thought it was good for this occasion. So I will end this diary entry with those lyrics. To all you other mums out there cherish every day with your furbabies because you never know when it will come to an end.
"A Year Ago Today"
Another year older
A little bit stronger
A little bit wiser than? a year ago today
Looking over my shoulder
I was so much younger then
I can't believe what happened
A year ago today
And I just can't forget about it
It wouldn't mean a thing
You went away
A year ago today
Another year gone by
Oh the tears have run dry
Life seemed so unkind
A year ago today
And I just can't understand it
And I don't think I ever will
You went away
A year ago today
And I just can't understand it
And I don't think I ever will
You went away
A year ago today
And how many times have I questioned myself
What more could I do
And how many times did I fool myself
Over you oh? yeah
You've gotta pick yourself up,
Take another look
And dust yourself off cause life's too good,
I'll say it to myself and I'll say it again
Love will never end
And though we're so far apart
You're forever in my heart
Another year older
A little bit stronger
On this anniversary
You're watching over me
You went away
A year ago today

As some of you know mum is in training to become a vet nurse. Of course it will take a few years but she just started her ceritificate 2 months ago. Right now she is at a new clinic that isnt that busy but mum gets to learn alot. Mum was working there yesterday when the vet told her that she would to try and get her into working at a busier clinic when days are slow there. She is good friends with some people that run a clinic about 20 minutes away.
It turns out that this clinic is where mum used to live. She did some work experience there about a year ago, the people are very nice. It is also the last place mum saw me alive, where she said her final goodbyes. Mum knows it will be hard to go back and be in that room again, she hasnt been ther since my passing, but I think she will be able to do it. With my one year anniversary coming up in about 3 weeks she is very emotional about it all but I'm sure she will cope.

Well just after I passed a flock of crows were hanging around the house. Eventually it was just one that would come every few days. Mum saw that as me looking over her and making sure she was ok. This crow was around for 3 months before mum moved 20 minutes away. The day that she moved the crow was sitting around watching the whole time. Mum was worried that I might not watch over her anymore because she had moved away. She has been living in this house for almost 8 months now and the whole time no crow.
This morning mum noticed a crow sitting out the front on the bush next to my cross. Then she remembered that she had seen it for the last 4 mornings sitting there. My 1 year anniversary is coming up soon, maybe this is my way of showing mum that I am still around.

I found these lyrics online and it really hit me right in the heart.
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me
[CHORUS]
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still she'd a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying but too fast
[CHORUS]
I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still she'd a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still she'd a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
It has been almost 1 years since you passed over the bridge my sweet angel Sharna and miss you just as much as when you first passed. You will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget you.

I may not be on earth with my family anymore but that does not mean that I can't celebrate my birthday. We have big parties up here at the bridge. On June 1st I would have been 8 years old. Mum is going to use this day to think wonderful thoughts of me and remember all the good time we shared together.

Three years ago today mum adopted me. She still remembers it like it was yesterday. I was so shy and terrified to go inside the house. I tried to stay outside but mum brought me inside and comforted me. Then I ran away from her and plowed head first right through the back door. My previous owners must not have let me inside. I was covered in scars, mum doesn't think that they were very nice people. Mum tried to play fetch with me but I was to scared of sticks. My new family taught me to trust humans again and I am glad that I was given a second chance with them. By the time I went to the bridge I was a completely differnt dog. I loved everyone a met and I wouldn't want to go outside, BOL! I was such an affectionate dog and enjoyed every day with my new family.

Lassie has been such a great friend on dogster. I have known her family for a while and they love Lassie very dearly. Sadly today she had to join me at the bridge. My mum was lucky enough to know Lassie in real life and she knows how much her family is hurting right now. Me and Lassie will be having alot of fun at the bridge but I know she will be missing her family. Please stop by Lassie's page and offer her some words of comfort

I remember sitting at the computer looking at the local pound website. Seeing this beautiful ridgeback girl. 2 weeks had passed and no one had come to claim her. She was going to be euthanized but the pound decided to take her to one of the local shelters. She was taken to the shelter that I was volunteering at. I remember she was so frightened and terrified of people. Would just lie there in the kennel. After a few days passed she came out of her shell and I could see that she was a wonderful dog. The shelter staff had called her Sharna.
Everytime I showed her to someone she would lie in her kennel, wanting to have a new home so badly but no one ever showed any interest. She was part of a group of 4 dogs that were very good pals. They would go for walks together, play together. 4 long months went past and Sharna had still not found a home. The holidays were coming up so we decided to foster her out for a few weeks. She fit straight into the family although she was very frightened at first. She even tried to bite me a few times. She was terrified of sticks and water. Especially men who wore hats. After that one week we knew that we couldnt take her back to the shelter so we decided to adopt her.
Sharna was the best dog that I ever had. She was such a sweetheart that just wanted human love. She just wanted to make us happy. I may have only owned her for two and a half years but the bond we shared was amazing. I never thought that I could be that attached to an animal. She was there for me on my bad days and always greeted me with a wagging tail. She put up with all the foster dogs I brought home and after a while got rid of some of her bad habits ( and picked up some, BOL!)
I still remember the day Sharna died like it was yesterday. It was the morning of September 12th so mum was still a little upset from the day before. (September 11th in the USA). It was a terrible day for everyone. Sharna was so happy and healthy the day before and when I found her at 7am she was very close to death. I knew that she wasnt going to make it as I comforted her in the examination room at the vets. You could tell that the vets didnt think she was going to make it either. As she lay on the steel table I stroked her head and was fighting back tears. She was given a dose of anti vemon but it was to late. At 2:30pm that day we got a phone call from the vet saying that they had done everything that they could but she had passed away. It was a sad day for everyone in our family. I was overwhelmed with grief and cried for many days.
A paralysis tick caused Sharna's death. I miss her so much. She will always hold a special place in my heart. She was such a kind and devoted dog. I am so glad that I got to give her a happy ending to her bad life. I am glad that I tought her that not all humans are bad and that there is such thing as love. You could tell that she was very thankful to have a great home and she enjoyed it very much.
This is why you should opt to adopt. Shelter dogs are always so thankful to be given a second chance and that feeling of being able to save a life is just amazing!

I dont know why but for some reason mum has been missing me alot lately. Everytime she sees my picture or hear about other bridge pups crossing the bridge she thinks of me and gets all teary eyed. Right now mum is working on a video of me and she can only make it in little amount because it make her cry to much. I guess that Shandi's near death experience has shaken her up a bit and made her think of me. Mum may have moved house but I am still watching over her. She knows that.

Well today mum was volunteering at the local shelter and this dog came in. A medium sized Lab/Ridgeback mix. Mum just fell in love with her and after spending more time with her felt like this was the right dog. So just as she was about to leave she decided to buy her. Her name is Shady right now but mum would like to change it. We are not sure what to yet.
We are moving house in about a week so she will be staying at the shelter until then. We just can't wait to bring her home. She is going to be spoilt rotten. The reason she was taken to the shelter was because she jumped the fence and killed the neighbours chickens. Lets just hope that she doesnt jump the fence at the new house and that all goes well:)

Well this year had its ups and it certainly had it's downs. Where to start?
Well the thing that stands out to me the most would be my 7th birthday. I got so spoilt and fussed over. I had a great time and just loved hanging out with my mum. I got lots of walks and run on the oval. I even met one of my good pals from dogster. I got lots of Christmas cards even though I am not on earth anymore. 2007 marked my second year of being with my family. I would have to say that I am very greatful to have met such great humans even though I was only with them for a short amount of time. They showed me that not all humans are bad and helped to heal lots of emotional scars that I had because of my previous owners. To this day I am watching over my family and keeping them safe. I hope that they find another dog that will make them just as happy and I made them.
Now for the bad. Well at the beginning of the year my mum was away for 1 month and I missed her like crazy. Mum never got to spend a Christmas with me:( The biggest down of this year for me and my family was that I passed away and went to the rainbow bridge a few months before 2008. It was a shock to my family because I was so healthy. They always thought that I was going to live a long life. My mum still cries when she thinks about me.
I would like to thank all of my dogster pals for the support when I passed away. I have made such good pals on dogster and I am so glad that I stumbled across this amazing website. My mum would like to give a special thanks to Bonzer and Peaches. She would like to thank Bonzer and his mum for making me a special memorial tile which mum put on her bed side table. She would like to thank Peaches for all of the lovely gifts that she sent a few months ago. Mum would also like to give a special thanks to Tillie for the amazing book that she sent my mum. Mum just cant put it down. I will be sending you all gifts as soon as mum gets back from her holiday.
Thank you for a mostly wonderful year

I want to start off by saying how thrilled and honoured I am to be chosen as RBAB's (Rainbow Bridge Angel Babies) dog of the week. This couldnt have come at a better time. I want to thank all the pups for sending me gifts and special rosettes. I can tell that this is going to be a very fun week. I want to give a special thank you to Daisy for choosing the angels in my family and for making us the pawsome animation. I also would like to thank Brandy for making us the great badges so that we will always remember this special week.
Thank you all so much!

At the beginning of the week a low was being watched which was between Papua New Guinea and the top of Queensland. The became a tropical cyclone at 2pm on Tuesday afternoon.
Everything was fine. It was predicted to be moving north away from us and it was only a catagory 1. Over the last 24 hours it has increased to a catagory 3 and has started to move south towards us.
About 6 years ago cyclone Steve hit Cairns and he was a catagory 3. He totally ruined the whole city. We dont want that to happen again.
Please pray for us and hope that the cyclone turns around and goes back out to see.
Here is a tracking map of the cyclone if you would like to see where the cyclone is heading. We live in Cairns. Cape Tribulation is only about 100 kms away.

Well last night mum was very upset so she went into her room to chill out and clam down. She saw my picture and just couldnt contain herself. She cried for about 20 minutes. Then she decided to write me a letter. So this is what it said:
Dear Sharna,
First of all I want to start off by telling you how much I miss you! Life is just not the same with out you. I feel like there is something missing. You brought me so much happiness and joy. Now you are gone.
What kills me inside is the fact that I never got to say goodbye to you. The last person that you ever saw was a complete stranger. I know that you know how much I loved you. You were and still are my baby girl. Nothing will ever change that. I just wish that I could see you one last time. I wish that I could say a proper good bye to you.
I know that you are watching over me from the rainbot bridge. At times I still find it hard to accept the reality that your gone. I may act all happy on the outside but on the inside it is the complete opposite.
You will always have a special place in my heart. No dog could ever replace the special bond that we shared. I love you and I wish that you were still here on Earth with us.
Love Always
Your Mum

Mum is very angry at the moment. Yesterday the gardeners came to trim the trees around the house and they practically cut down the tree where mum found me. It looks like a log is sticking out of the ground. Also when mum got home she went to visit my memorial like she does every day and it was just lying on the ground. The gardeners had taken it out of the ground and just thrown it on the ground when they left. Mum was furious. She fixed up my memorial and put down some fresh flowers.

I remember the first time I saw you. Lying alone in the kennel at the shelter. All the other dogs where barking and you just layed there looking miserable. You stayed at the shelter for 4 months. No one wanted you. I just couldnt stand you being miserable any longer so we decided to make you the newest addition to the family. That was the best decision that I could have made in my life.
Although you where only with us for a short time you really did touch my heart and I feel blessed to have owned a dog as wonderful as you. You where so quiet and affectionate. It took some time for you to warm up to us at first but when you did you would never leave my side. You were there for me when I was going through bad time. You would always come up and lick my cheek as if to say "its ok". You were always so happy and cheerful. You put up with me dressing you up and giving you baths even though I know that you hated it.
What I am saying is that I am so very thankful that you picked me to be your human. You filled my life with years of joy and you are very missed. I love you so much and I miss you even more. I know that you are watching over me and making sure that I am ok. Everyone that met you fell in love with you. there was just something special abvout you and I will never forget that.
You have made my life what is it today and I am so greatful that you can into my life. We all miss you very much and I love you with all of my heart. I hope that you are running free up over the bridge and having fun. You can breathe properly again and you are having so much fun.
The last thing that I wanted to tell you was that I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry for not picking up on the tick earlier. All the signs where there but we just didnt pick it up. Maybe if I had seen it when I bathed you the day before you would still be here and I would be cuddling with you right now.
Some people say that you never know what you have until its gone but in this case its not true. I always knew that you where a special girl right from the very start and I am honoured to have had you as one of my dogs.
I love you!

The other day the whole sky was full of very dark, grey clouds. Mum was walking to the library and she had a feeling it was going to rain. She hadnt had a very good day that day and was feeling a little down.
The clouds looked amazing. She was walking a looking at the clouds. The whole sky was grey. Not one patch of blue to be seen. As mum was looking at the clouds something caught her eye. In all of the grey clouds was a gap. In this gap you could see the rays of sunshine coming through.
As soon as mum saw it a huge smile lite up her face. She thought of me. It reminded her that I was still around and was watching over her from above.

Today is the 1 month annifursay of my death. I think that by now mum has accpeted that I am gone. She doesnt cry anymore but she has her moments. I think that now she thinks of the good times that we shared together rather and the fact that I am gone. Its very hard to get past the greif of loosing a dog but it is even harder when you dont have another dog.
Alot of my things are still around the house. Mum still has not put away my bed. Sometimes she goes and sits on it. Just to think. She also goes and visits my memorial alot and she talks to me. She hopes that I can hear her. It just gives her a feeling of comfort talking to me. Just the other day mum got rid of my food. She gave it to the people across the road that have a dog called Ruby. She was one of my pals.
Anyway mum is still thinking of me and I am still watching over mum. Just thought I would tell you all that she is doing alot better but still missing me like crazy.

Well you would be glad to know that the crows have gone. Mum has now starting to look for another dog but with no luck so far. It is going to be a slow process but once the right dog comes along it will be worth it. I will guide mum along and let her know which one is the right one for her. She knows I will always be watching over her and I want her to be happy.

A very strange thing has happened at our house. Everyone knows that crows are the symbol of death. Well, we have lived in this house for just over a year and have never seen a crow in that whole time. Then suddenly the day after I die there are many crows around. They are one the grass, on the veranda on in the trees. Its very strange.
Mum feels like my spirit hasnt gone yet. That I havent moved on and that I am still around. Now mum isnt religious or anything but she believes that I have sent the crows as messangers. To watch over my family and make sure that they are all ok. The crows normally sit in the tree above my memorial and just watch mum go about her things.
Mum thinks that when the crows have gone that means that I would have moved on and that will allow mum to move on as well and give another dog a chance at the great life I had. I'm not sure how long the crows are going to be around but I just want my family to know that I am still there watching over them.

Well so far I have enjoyed my time at the rainbow bridge. So many pups have shown me around and welcomed me with open paws. There is a beautiful lake and lots of fire hydrants;) There is huge open fields filled with toys where you can tun and play all day long with all the other bridge pups. There is also an area where you can eat any food you want. Even the food you where not allowed to eat on earth. It is such a pawsome place!
I do miss my family though but I know that I can look down on them and keep them safe. I somehow have a feeling that mum knows that and when the time is right they will get a new dog but not right now.
Every night mum says some special words to me and I can hear her. She tells me how much she misses me and how she loves me very much. She also told me that I was the best dog that she has ever had and that she can still see me around the place. She says that she is still very upset but isnt crying as much which is a good thing. Right now she is thinking of all the good times that we have spent over that last 2 1/2 years. Whenever she thinks of something funny we used to do together is brings a smile to her face which I love to see from up here. I know that I will never be forgotten and that my spirit will always live on. I love my family so much even though I am at the bridge now. It doesnt change one single thing.
Love Angel Sharna xoxo

Me and mum would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone here on dogster. You have been so supportive durig this hard time for me and my family. Thank you to everyone that sent me rosettes, stars, pawmails, PPR's and have made me picture or wrote a diary entry about me. Mum knew that she can always count on her dogster pals no matter what the situation is. This has been proved during the last two day. Words can not describe how grateful we are to everyone that has helped us get through this. You are all amazing and I wish I could repay everyone of you.
Love
Angel Sharna xoxo

Sharna crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. She will always be loved and remembered by all that met her. She just wasnt strong enough to beat the tick. I still cant and wont believe that she is gone. It just fels so strange. Like a huge part of your life is gone. Thank you everyone for your prayers but unfortunately it wasnt enough this time.
Sharna xoxo

This morning mum got up and couldnt find me anywhere. She called my name and whistled for me but no response. She walked around the back of the house and saw me lying in the bushes. She called my name but I didnt come. As she walked closed she new something was wrong. I was lying there drooling and heavily breathing. I couldnt move and I was shaking.
As soon as mum saw me like this she broke into tears. She ran to get help and the next door neighbour came with her car and help to take Sharna to the vets. This all happened at 7:30am so the vets where not open yet so we called them and they came as fast as they could.
When we got to the vet we weighed Sharna and carried her around to the back. We took her collar off to help her breath better and there it was. A huge tick that was hiding under her collar. I dont know how this had happened. We check her everyday and the day before I had bathed her and couldnt see anything.
The vet put a cathater in and gave her a dose of anti venom. He also gave her an injection to help her breathing. The chances of her making it are very slim. She needs all the prayers she can get. Please pray for her. We will be calling the vet at lunch time today to see whats happening.

Last night I was lying on the floor next to the couch scrathing myself and mum was flicking through the TV channels. She saw Air Bud and stopped on that channel because she loves Golden Retrievers. Anywho, it was up to one part when Air Bud was whinning and barking. As soon as I heard the whinning I turned around and started whinning back. I got up and looked every where for that dog and the noises just kept coming. I just couldnt find him. Then mum started laughing at me and I couldnt figure out why. Silly humans.

Well today mum got up really early. It was about 6:30am and mum was watching some TV. She heard me running around and barking. She thought that I was chasing a bush turkey or something like that. She decided to check it out so she walked onto the balcony and looks around that yard. To her suprise there was a HUGE Rottweiler walking around in the yard and me and him where playing. Mum yelled out OI and he ran under the fence and down the driveway.
Mum thinks that it's my new boyfriend. BOL. This Rottweiler lives at 2 houses away from us on a Strawberry farm. Him and a female rottweiler are 2 guard dogs that breed as well. Mum was scared the he would attack her. Thats what he has been trained to do. She was also relieved to see that my kitty sister was on the balcony not down in the yard!

Last night I had the best dinner that I have ever had! Mum put all kinds of wonderful things in my dinner bowel. I was so excited that I was jumping up and down. In my dinner bowl there was a huge meat patty, sausages, turkey, ham and chicken! I felt so spoilt and I am having the same for dinner tonight as well. I just cant wait! It's my favourite meal of the day:)

Well this morning when mum woke up and came downstairs she saw that I had dug a huge hole about 30 cm deep. There was dirt everywhere. I had flung the dirt so high that it was all over the trampoline which was 2 meters away from the hole I dug. Mum came outside and kept saying "naughty girl". I gave her my innocent look and then she started patting me. I think I got away with it;)

I know that this is a little off topic but mum's friend could really use your thoughts and prayers at the moment.
Mum's freind Rebecca was walking with her other friend this morning when someone walked past and threw a glass bottle in the bin. They missed the bin and the glass smashed everywhere. A piece of galss about 6 cm long went into her leg and cut her all the way down to the bone. Her other friend took off her shirt and wrapped it around her leg. The doctors said that if she didnt do that then Rebecca would have died from loss of blood. .
She is in the hospital at the moment and we are still waiting to find out whats going to happen.
Please send her good thoughts and prayer.
Sharna and her mum xoxo

Yesterday was so exciting. I thought that it was going to be another plain boring day but boy was I wrong. Mum took me for a walk down the road when we ran into Abby(http://www.dogster.com/dogs/527103). I was so excited to meet another dog off dogster. We didnt get to play for long and unfortunately mum didnt have her camera on her because the meetin wasnt planned so we didnt get any pictures:( It was so much fun and I was hyper for the rest of the day. Abby was such a sweetheart.

Lately I have heard mum talking alot about a hydrobath. I have no clue what it could be but I know that it has the word bath in it which can't be good. She said that it will be coming next week and I will be getting pampered. She said that they are going to give me a flea and tick rinse, clean my ears and clip my nails. All of these things are bad to me but mum seems excited. BOL

About an hour ago mum was sitting at the computer when she heard barking and growling. She ran out on the balcony and saw me and the next door neighbours dog trying to attack each other through the fence.
Mum had never seen this dog before and by the looks of it neither had I. Mum called me and I came running over to her. I had all of my hackles raised and I was ready to go back and finish the job but mum didnt let me.
The next door neightbours dog, which was a border collie, got into alot of trouble with his mum. Behind the Border Collie was a little fluffy dog pretending to be big and tough. It was funny!
Both of us are ok and I am sleeping on the couch as mum types this for me. I am not ment to be on there but ssssshhhhhh. The humans dont need to know:)

Well today mum added some new pictures to my page. She thinkg that they are really cute. Sugar also made a pawsome animation for me and I put that as my main picture. Thanks again Sugar.
Well I havent gotten out for a while now and mum is very proud of me. Mum ran into a woman from the vet that has her won hydrobath and she is going to come over soon and make me all pretty. I dont want her to though because I hate baths but I guess I can put up with it.
Thats all for now

Well this morning mum was looking everywhere for me but couldnt find me. She looked around the back of the house, the front, in the house, everywhere. But I was no where to be seen. She started to panic and called out my name. She looked down the drive way and there I was. Running up the driveway trying to sneak back in before she noticed I was gone.
Mum wasnt very happy with me. She made me stay on my bed and kept saying naughty girl. I had fun though. Dont think I'm going to do it again any time soon though. I dont like it when mum is mad at me.

This dog that mum has known since she was 12 weeks old has been taken(once again) to the local shelter. Mum wants her so badly and might be adopting her. Wish her luck. She will need all the luck she can get:)

Well today was a pretty cruisy day. Nothing much happened. My paw is starting to get better which is good. But mum also found a punture wound on the tip of my ear. She has no clue how I am getting hurt.
My mum thinks that who ever owned me before them abused me really badly. I am really scared of caps(the hats). If I see anyone with one on I go mental and start to bark like crazy. Well while me and my mum where having our daily snuggle she saw some scars on me. She looked to see how many I had and all together she counted 7 scars. I have 2 on my back leg, 1 on my stomach, 1 on my front leg, 1 on my head, and 1 on both of my ears.
Nothing else excitingf happened. I slept almost all day. Had a bit of a run and came inside. Cuddled and snuck onto my mums bed. I'm not alowed on there but I go on there anyway.

This morning my mummy was giving me lots of cuddle and bully rubs. While she was rubbing my belly she thought she would check my paws (she checks my paws to make sure I dont have any grass seeds or cuts on them).
Well today she checked them and on one of my paws I have alot of grazes around one of my pads. Mum has no idea how I did is and when she was holding my foot I didnt like it one bit. She is going to check it out again and hopefully it will heal soon.
If it doesnt then mum still has some cream left over from when I had an imflamed paw. Actually now that she thinks about it its the same paw that is hurt now. She hopes my paw isn't becoming inflamed again.
Well hope my paw gets better soon

Well today was a pretty good day. i got up. My mum gave me breakfast. I got some salmon which was good. Then I slept a bit and relaxed. My mum came out with the hose when I was sunbaking and I knew straight away what it was for.
She tied me to a pole and bathed me. I hate baths! I dont know why humans do it. You spend all that time perfecting your smell and dirt levels and then they come along and ruin it. To top it off they put this gross smelling stuff on you. Yuck! I go crazy after my bath(check out the video).
After my bath they took alot of photos of me. Which I love. I guess im just a natural infront of the camera. BOL!
Then I had another snooze and later on we went to the oval. I had heaps of fun running around and chasing the flies. Those flies taste pretty good.
Well that was my day. I had alot of fun and hopefully when I get plus I can put lots of the pictures mummy took of me on my page:)

I got so spoilt today! I got heaps of presents to and my mum is getting a portrait draw of me. How cool! I am seven today and I dont feel any older. I still act like im young. I'm going to get the biggest bone later on in the day and I'm going to maybe even get a visit to the groomers and be pampered for a day. That would be heaps of fun!
Love Sharna xxoo

my mum came home last night. it was about 1am and i was really tired and i saw the car drive up the drive way. it was wet so i didnt want to go down to the gate and i stayed on the patio. then my mum jumped out of the car and called me name. i was so excited i ran as fast as i could down to the gate and started whinning.
then we went inside and i was so happy and excited that i started to run around in circles and roll around on my back. i had waited so long for her to retun and now she finally did. i must say that i was the happiest dog in the world!
