Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Sassy!
Happy birthday to you!
Today my most special, cherished and beloved friend is turning 11 years old. Sassy and her mommy and daddy have been with our family through thick and thin, since very soon after we discovered the wonderful, fun and loving Dogster community.
She has helped us in sooo many ways that I can't even begin to list them. There is one very special gesture she made that I will write about in this entry...
When my baby fursister, Teddi Sue, was stolen along with my mommy's car, nearly three hundred miles from home, Sassy barked loud and hard to all of our wonderful Dogster friends and asked them to join forces and Power of the Paw to find our Teddi Sue and bring her back home to our family.
Sooo many friends joined in and, low and behold, after nearly 8 weeks of hard work, persistance and prayers, my mommy drove those nearly 300 miles and came back home with Teddi Sue!
I truly believe that without Sassy's help and support, along with many, many other true and devoted friends' help and support, that Teddi Sue probably would still be lost, missing, stolen... somewhere out there. Our family thanks God every day that we are whole and happy again due to such amazing love and friendship.
I recently read a special poem in Sassy's Dogster Diary that struck a very special place in my heart. I would like to print it here, as a gesture to my beloved friend. I know the following poem must have an extra-special meaning to Sassy, as she has battled many health issues and come very close to making the journey to The Rainbow Bridge, and away from her family, much too soon. I would like to help Sassy spread this important message so that other furbabies may benefit from the wisdom of it's words.
And happy, HAPPY birthday, dear Sassy! You're like a sister to me and I love you with all my heart.
XO, Penny Ann
I Am Your Dog -- Author Unknown
I am your dog, and I have a little something I'd like to whisper in your ear. I know that you humans lead busy lives. Some have to work, some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, often never noticing the truly grand things in life. Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with age. The gray hairs are beginning to ring my soft muzzle.
You smile at me; I see love in your eyes. What do you see in mine? Do you see a spirit? A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world? A spirit that would forgive all trespasses of prior wrong doing for the just a simple moment of your time? That is all I ask. To slow down, if even for a few minutes to be with me. So many times you have been saddened by the words you read on that screen, of others of my kind, passing. Sometimes we die young and oh so quickly, sometimes so suddenly it wrenches your heart out of your throat. Sometimes, we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know until the very end, when we look at you with grizzled muzzles and cataract clouded eyes. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep, to run free in a distant land.
I may not be here tomorrow; I may not be here next week. Someday you will shed the water from your eyes, that humans have when deep grief fills their souls, and you will be angry at yourself that you did not have just 'One more day' with me. Because I love you so, your sorrow touches my spirit and grieves me. We have NOW, together. So come, sit down here next to me on the floor, and look deep into my eyes. What do you see? If you look hard and deep enough we will talk, you and I, heart to heart. Come to me not as 'alpha' or as 'trainer' or even 'Mom or Dad', come to me as a living soul and stroke my fur and let us look deep into one another?s eyes, and talk.
I may tell you something about the fun of chasing a tennis ball, or I may tell you something profound about myself, or even life in general. You decided to have me in your life because you wanted a soul to share such things with. Someone very different from you, and here I am. I am a dog, but I am alive. I feel emotion, I feel physical senses, and I can revel in the differences of our spirits and souls I do not think of you as a 'Dog on two feet'. I know what you are. You are human, in all your quirkiness, and I love you still.
Now come sit with me, on the floor. Enter my world, and let time slow down if only for 15 minutes. Look deep into my eyes, and whisper to my ears Speak with your heart, with your joy and I will know your true self. We may not have tomorrow, and life is oh so very short.
Love today!

Oh, boy! A new game of Tag, and this one's a little bit different! These Tag games are so pawsome! It's fun learning a little bit more about all our furiends here on Dogster and Catster. Thanks fur Tagging me, Prince!
***This is how ya play... Oh! And don't furget to send a pawmail or a rosette to let your furiends know you've Tagged them, and that they can find the rules in your Diary.
***Name 4 jobs that you have:
1. I help Zelda Marie guard our house while Mom and Dad and Teddi Sue are at work.
2. I snuggle up and keep Mommy warm at night while we're sleeping.
3. I groom Mom's feet fur her every night. She says I give the best pedicure she's ever had - not that she's had very many! Ummm, one, I think! Bwahaha!
4. I make sure that Zelda and Teddi Sue don't leave any food in their dishes. Well, you know! I'd sure hate to see pawfectly good kibble go to waste! *blush*
***Name 4 places you have lived at (or stayed at):
1. Well, I don't really remember, but I must have lived with a nice family here in Eugene, where my fur mother lived.
2. Then I lived in Bobcat Pets, here in Eugene, fur a very short time, with my furbrothers and my fursister.
3. Next I came here, to my furever home, with Momma, Dad and my two biped brothers. Rosie lived here then, too, and so did Daisy and Rooty. Zelda and Link & Teddi Sue all moved in here after I did.
4. When I was a little puppy, I once stayed at my Grandma's house up in Renton, WA. I pooped on her carpet. Oops. But she still loved me anyway. Grandmas rule!
***Name 4 places that you have been:
1. I've been to the new dog park here in Eugene. The one near Ziggy Moonbeam's house.
2. Shopping fur clothes and treats at PetSmart.
3. I've been to Lafayette, CA fur my human uncle's birthday pawty.
4. All us Tater Tot grrrls - Link couldn't go :( - went to Coquille to the Oregon Dogster Pup Meet last Fall. We got to meet Princess, Grandma Dutchess, Red and Scooter, and their Mommy Nancy. There were treats and pressies and we all got to run around playing and having a grrreat time! it was pretty cold, though, so we all had to bundle up in our sweaters. It was lotsa fun!
***Name 4 places you'd rather be:
Well, I really can't think of anyplace I'd rather be than here at my furever home, but I can name 4 places that I would like to be... alot!
1. Sleeping in my basket near the nice, warm woodstove is always nice. I'd love to be there!
2. Walking in the woods, rooting around in the duff and barking at chipmunks and birds is another of my favorite places to be.
3. Swimming - just about anywhere, except the bath tub. Even a nice big mud puddle will do! I think my very favorite is swimming in the ocean, though. It's soooo much fun with the waves and trying to catch me a seagull!
4. Last, but not least, I would love to be snuggled up, under the covers, right between my Momma's knees. Now that is a grrreat place to be!
***Name 4 furiends you wish to tag:
I can think of about 4 thousand furiends that I'd like to tag, but I'll try to choose just 4 who haven't yet been Tagged this time! Let's see....
1. Okay! Gonna get my cute, li'l Rattie furiend, Penny!
2. And, next, my dear furiend Skye, who's like a sister to me.
3. My super pawsome, super-Chi pal, Nickolas! You're it, Nick!
4. and... hmmm... let's see.. how 'bout... my beautiful new furiend Maggie! She's a real cutie... if I do woof so myself! BOL!
Have fun, everyfur! Thanks fur playing Tag with me!
Smoochies & butt wiggles, Penny ♥

Last night I had quite a scare! I think I came within a hair's width of losing my couch rights.
You see, Mom and Dad put this nice little stepping stool in front of the couch so I could climb up without jumping and hurting my back. (It's actually some doo-hickey that goes with my human brother's electric guitar) Anyway, Mom folded up a nice, soft, black blanket and covered the step with it so I wouldn't slip. I love Mommy! *swoons*
Unfurtunately, the step, covered with the black blankie, is just about invisible at night, when the lights are off. Yup. You guessed it. Mom went strolling through the living room, in the dark, and bashed her toe on the step really, super hard! She fell down and just layed there saying all sorts of words I've never heard before! I think she was speaking some foreign language??? Her eyes were leaking and she shooed Daddy away when he tried to help her stand up.
You should see Mom's toe now! It's all kinds of pretty colors... mostly black and, my persoal favorite, purple. She keeps practicing that new language she learned, too.
I thought fur sure that would have been the end of my nifty step, but it's still there! I think I'll go take a li'l nap now... on my couch.

So. Not too much is new with me lately. Since Buster disappeared I haven't really known what to do with myself. At furst I cried day and night. Then, I was like... Wow! I can't believe he'd do that!!! And I would wrack my brain to try and figure out "why he would just... up and... disappear... without a woof! I mean sheesh! I was his WIFE!!!
THEN! Then came the anger! I'm a li'l embarrassed to admit, but, fur awhile, I was feeling like.. "Well! How dare he just desert me??!!! The least he could do is try to let me down easily!
But anyway, I'm doing much better now. Aside from having my feelings hurt and a broken heart, I'm really doing okay! I'm even thinkin' about MAYBE going out to socialize a bit. Maybe, who knows? Some handsome dog might even ask me out! Ya never know!
I did meet a really sweet pup named Prince. He's just a furrifically handsome Chihuahua, and such a gentledog! Too bad he's so young. He pawbably wouldn't be interested romantically in an grrrl as old as I am. He is just such a nice furiend and he always manages to put a smile in my woof. He had a less - than - pawfect experience with romance, also. We sorta have that in common and it makes the basis fur a special furiendship.
Well, it's time fur me to go burrow under the covers by Momma's feet. It's my job to make sure my family stays safe from intruders and whatever other threats may happen to arise while they are sleeping. Goodnight everyfur.
Wiggles 'n woofs, Penners ♥

So, looks like I'll be living without the pleasure of one of the perks of residing in the wonderful Pacific Northwest. Teddi Sue and Link finally got their ridiculous wish fur snow on the Valley floor.
When we woke up yesterday morning and went out to go potty, we were greeted with a bright whiteness! Yes. Much to my lament, it snowed here in Eugene. It wouldn't be so bad if my legs were a bit longer. My legs are only about two inches long, and it snowed about 6 inches. You do the math! It makes fur a chilly tummy fur us weiner dogs.
It's a good thing that I'm a "weinie", but not a "weenie". I do go out and do my duty, like a good little wiener dog should, unlike my younger MinPinChi sister, Zelda Marie. She just poops on the rug by the front door when it's cold outside! Sure, Mom gets mad at her, but all of us pups know that we're so cute, and Mom loves us so much, that she won't stay mad fur too long. Then it's back to snuggles and kissy-mwah-mwahs. Sheesh, Zelda! *rolls eyes*
Teddi Sue and Link absowoofly looove the snow! They are complete and total fools! Of course they have long legs, which keep their tummies up out of the snow. So, yeah. They have a grrreat time running and tumbling and biting the snow, and knocking each other over, and zooming in and around the arborvite trees. But, HA! Try to get them to do it while Mom has the video camera on! NOOOOOOO! They just stand there and look at her... or poop... or hug the side of the house where there is no snow because of the eave.
Well, I'm going to go claim a good spot near the woodstove where I can stretch out and warm my tummy up. Woof ya all later. - Pens

Wow! Have you seen how absowoofly beautiful my page looks with all of the furbulous and splendid pretties and gifts that were bestowed upon me fur my birthday?!! I am truly humbled, by your kindness, love and furiendship. You do not know how good it feels to be loved by so many wunnerful furiends at this pawticular time in my life.
I am dealing with extreme sadness and the feeling of abandonment since about the 22nd of December. That is when my beloved husband, Buster, disappeared from my life without a woof. His whole furmily...gone!
I've not a clue as to why he decided to go. I always thought we were happy... and, I thought he loved me, the way I love him. I adore him!
Maybe he will come back. He could. I'll just pray... and I'll send him a letter. Another one.
So, all you really pawesome furiends, ya see why your sweet woofs and showin' me some love are feeling pretty good to me right now, especially! I just can't woof thanks or wag my tail fast enough to express my gratitude to you all fur your furiendship and love. It's just pawesome, and so precious to me. Thanks fur being my furiends. I love you all!

Hi all my favorite puppers and kitties! Today is my 9th woofday! *YIKES* Mommy says she can't believe it, but... ummm, why would I lie? BOL Yup, Momma. I'm definitely getting into my senior years, but don't worry! I'll always be your baby!
Seems like just yesterday, I was the baby around here and Rooty and Daisy were "the big dogs"! Since they went on to The Rainbow Bridge in 2005, I've become the big dog, with Zelda Marie and Teddi & Link being the babies.
Now, in spite of the recent turn of events that has taken pawlace in my life, I've made up my mind!
I'm going to have fun today! And be happy! And not think about Buster fur ONE minute... or the fact that he left me...without a woof.... and I don't know why... and I always thought we were so happy.... and, and....*Sniff, sniff*
OKAY, then! Yes! I'm HAPPY!!!!! See??! *starts dancing and singing the woofday song*
So, furst thing I'm gonna do is go potty outside, then eat a big bowl of my nice kibble, and then have a nice, loooong snooze on a soft blankie, on the floor in front of the woodstove! Aaaah! Yes! This is the life! I hope all of you have as much fun today as I'm going to!
Sniff ya! *waddles off toward the door*

I'll be waiting by our mailbox out on the street. Hmmm... I wonder if Momma would bring my doggie bed out there fur me. It's kinda chilly here in Eugene lately.....

I went to send my husband, Buster, the love of my life, a smoochie under the mistletoe, but when I got there, he was nowhere to be found! My handsome beau has disappeared from Dogster! With out a woof! Without a kissie goodbye! I am totally and completely devastated. I can't believe that after all these years, I finally found true love... and he is gone!
Well, I have one thing - and one thing ONLY - on my Christmas list this year. I want my darling, wonderful, sweet, handsome hubby back! PLEASE, SANTA! I PAWMISE I'll be good!
Totally destroyed and broken-hearted, Penny Ann Lenhart ♥

I am absowoofly the happiest, proudest and luckiest grrrl in all of Dogsterland! Buster and I are now married and I so look forward to sharing the rest of furever with him!
Buster and I met, and began going steady, in November 2006. We had originally planned to be married on April 21, 2007. We had it all planned out beautifully... all the groomsdogs and bridesdogs, my li'l brother Link was to be the ring dog, and Teddi Sue was to be our flower dog, a pawbulous menu fur the reception, etc....
Then, Momma took Teddi Sue on a trip up to Washington state to visit our uncle. While Momma and Teddi were up in Washington, some bad guys stole Momma's car... with Teddi Sue inside! That happened on April 16th, just 5 days before Buster and I were to be married.
Well, we decided to postpone the wedding until we could get our li'l Teddi Sue back home. It just wasn't a happy time fur a wedding and we wanted our sweet li'l Teddi Sue to be our flower dog. Soooo, with an incredible amount of love and pawrayers and help from our Dogster and Catster furiends, Ginger's Pet Rescue , The Auburn Reporter , and others, too numerous to list, we began a SAR mission fur Teddi Sue.
Low and behold, nearly two months later , Teddi Sue was found, up in Seattle, and was reunited with our family!
We were then happy and willing to go ahead with our wedding! We had our sweet li'l flower dog back home with us!
So, on July 7, 2007, Buster and I were joined in Holy Matrimony, with Buster's brother, Prince Brutus officiating. The wedding took place on a pawbulous cruise ship in Yor-kie To Happiness Cruise Lines with many of our closest furiends in attendance. Prince Brutus presented us with a gift of a two - week cruise to The Bahamas as a wedding gift!
That day was, needless to woof, one of, if not the most, special an' wunnerful days of my entire life!
I can't believe I can be sooo lucky as to be able to spend the rest of furever with my beloved Buster! He is so very good to me! He is devoted an' romantic an' jes' the most understanding and loving pup I've ever known. An' he's MINE! ... FUREVER!

Well, here it is. The day I have been waiting for fur sooo long! April 21, 2007. This is supposed to be the day that my Buster and I join one another in holy matrimony. I guess life just doesn't always work out the way we plan.... or hope it will.
Li'l Teddi Sue is still not back home with us yet. My family and our Dogster friends are trying as hard as they can. As soon as Teddi Sue gets back home to us, Buster and I will have the most beautiful wedding and Teddi Sue will be the prettiest li'l Flower Grrl!!! Until that happens, I will just cherish the love that we share and look forward to the happiest day of my life. I hope Buster knows how much I love him. And my li'l sister, too.

Mommy's leavin' in jes' a few hours to go on a trip out of town. She's goin' to visit her brother up in the Seattle area and she's LEAVING ME AND ZELDA HOME!!! *pout* Now that's a fine how do ya do! I always go bye -bye in the car with Mommy when she goes to visit Uncle Bruce! She says it would be too much work fur Daddy to leave both of the twins home with him! So she's taking Teddi Sue with her instead of me and Zelda!. I think I've had about enough of these li'l twins stealing all the attention around here! I used to get to go fur my walks with Zelda, too, but not anymore! Now I go with Teddi Sue, then Mommy brings us back home and she takes Zelda and Link fur a walk. It jes' isn't the same! Me an' Zeldy... well, we're really close. Or, well, we were! Now Zeldy always wants to play with her li'l fur sister and brother all the time. I don't really like playing with the twins too much. They always bite my soft, li'l, floppy ears and it hurts! If I bark at 'em Mommy yells at me. Gee. Life jes' isn't as simple as it used to be. *mopes*
*perks back up* But my bridal shower will be on Monday evening and Mommy pawmises to be home so we can have a grrreat time there, at Cammie's Restaurant, in Admirable Stars! I can hardly wait. I guess I'll jes' have to stay home an' guard the fort. At least there will be one less li'l brat bitin' my ears fur a couple days! BOL
I'm sure gonna miss all my pals while Mommy's gone. We aren't allowed on the 'puter when Mommy's not home. I hope she remembers to use her friend's 'puter to vote fur Cammie and Cheech and Reesee while she's gone.
Well, I better go make sure Mommy doesn't furget anything. Maybe I can hide in her suitcase! BOL Nah. It wouldn't work. So long fur now, dear Diary. I gotta go guard the fort! *waddles off to go guard the fort*

What a wunfurful day! I woke up this mornin' and the sun's a-shinin'! Pawed me a nice cup of coffee and took a li'l sniff into my pawmail box.... and THERE IT WAS!!! Woohoooo!!! A pawmail from my best beau! My hunnee buns! My sweetie pie! My darlin' Buster woofed me!!!
Appawently, he's been havin' lots of pawblems gettin pawmail to work. Hopefully that is all in the past now and we can get back to our regular woofin' schedule. I mean, it's already hard enough... him bein' in a different time zone than me. It's a couple hours later fur him than it is fur me.
I got a really sweet rosette from my hunnee, too. *sweet smile* I'll woof ya! I'm jes' on cloud nine today! He still loves me and he still wants to marry me!!! Life doesn't get better than this!!!
So, looks like April 21st will be the big day! We're having our wedding in Yor-kie To Happiness Cruise Lines on the cruise ship. Prince Gus, Buster's brother will be officiating. He's the captian of the ship, so it'll be all legal and everything! We're havin' a huge wedding and all are invited! Even a few kitties will be there! We'll have a big, wonfurful reception afterwards with a pawsitively pawesome feast! Buster planned the menu all by himself and he included my favorite dishes. *bats eyelashes* OMD! I mean... could any grrrl woof fur a better husband?? I think NOT!!! * stands straight and tall, nose in air* I am sooo proud to be the grrrl he wants to share the rest of time with! Well, I better get my tail busy and pawmail my Princey!!! *ambles away humming 'From This Moment On'*

I wonder why my Baby hasn't woofed me. Haven't heard a single woof since February 27th! Oh, well, I take that back... he sent me a rosette on March 8th woofin' if I've been gettin' his pawmails. Hmmmm.*rolls eyes* What pawmails???? No! I HAVEN"T been gettin' your pawmails, Busty! Ya furgot to SEND 'EM!!!!!
Awww. I guess maybe I'm bein' too sensitive. He really is a good boyfuriend. He's super sweet and jes' the most handsome doggy I ever sniffed. I guess it hasn't been THAT long. "Cept, ya know, when you're engaged and all in love an' everything, ya sorta expect your hunnee to wanna woof ya ALL the time!!! Well, at least I do.
Gee. I wonder if he's gettin' cold paws?! Havin' second thoughts! Nah....he wouldn't do that.... do ya think??? He sounded pretty excited and started woofin' everypup when I accepted his proposal. Oh, wow! THAT was sooooo romantic, too! I mean, the way he proposed. *sigh* I really do love my Buster sooo much! And he even planned a big, fancy menu fur our wedding reception and already picked out the wedding pawty..... right down to who would tend the guest book! I mean... I was like, "WHOA! You are excited!!!!"
Hmmm. Maybe his mommy is jes' real busy. Maybe it's finals time??? I know he's not allowed on the 'puter when she's not home. I know it isn't cuz Gus has been hoggin' the 'puter! Heck, poor Camille's been waitin' lots longer than me to hear from her hunnee.
Thank Dog fur Camille. *smile* She's such a pawesome furiend! She is jes' about the sweetest, bestest furiend a grrrl could ever woof fur. We can woof about anything to each other. It's real important to have a furiend like that. I jes' don't know what I'd ever do without her. She's gonna be my Maid of Honor, fur sure. I'm sooo proud that she agrrreed. It feels real good when ya know your furiend really, really loves ya jes' because you're you.
Well, I guess it'll be another night dreamin' about my Baby and hopin' I hear his sweet woof tomorrow. Maybe if I scrunch down on my li'l knees and woof a li'l pawrayer.... who knows? Couldn't hurt. Goodnight, dear Diary. 'til next time... woof!

Well, we just had our Penny For Your Thoughts February 2007 Shiny Penny Awards Ceremony! It was actually the furst ceremony we ever had. It was alot of fun! Awards were given out to Bambi, Bear, Beatrix, Charlie, Chatchi, and Spanky. What a bunch of pawesome pups! Maybe next month we can give an award or two out to some kitties. That would be nice. I just hope that lots of pups and kitties get nominated because I know there are lots of them that deserve some special attention and a trophy to put on their page.
I'm kinda thinking now, though, that the pups who got an award in December should have been honored at the ceremony, too. We didn't have an official ceremony that time. It was brand new and I hadn't really thought about a ceremony. That was kinda dumb, too! If awards are being given, of COURSE there should be a ceremony!! DUH! Hmmm. I'll have to work those pups into the March Ceremony fur sure! Hey! That even includes ME! Hehehe! I got an award too! I was nominated by Sassy fur helping to save my sister, Zelda's, life. Yep. I think that would be the right thing to do! I'm going to go plan it right now! WTYL!

I've been feeling a little bit down lately. Mommy and Daddy brought Zelda's new little fur sister and fur brother home to live with us furever. I like 'em okay, but they sure do hog alot of Mommy's attention. And Zelda... she just always wants to play with the puppies! Her and I don't play nearly as much as we used to.
Then our friend, Aurora, went to the Bridge. She was Link's beautiful li'l sweetheart and he is really quite devastated. To have lost his li'l darling at such a young age is very sad, indeed. Bless her li'l soul.
So, this morning I woke up and dragged my long, little bod over to our dogmail box expecting the usual. Not to say that I don't LOVE woofs from all our pals... I do! Very much so! But it seems like nothing really EXCITING ever happens! Well, today is my lucky day! It doesn't get more exciting than this! My sweet,handsome beau has asked me fur his paw in marriage!!!! Yep! Prince Buster and I are GETTIN" MARRIED!!!! I am the happiest grrrl in all of Dogsterland!!! I've been waiting fur this moment furEVER!!! My Busty an' me!!! Isn't it sooooo romantic??? *sighs* *wanders away humming ' Chapel of Love' * *big smile*

My pal, Molly, is asking for prayers for her friend, Maggie, who got into poison and is in the vet hospital . Please copy and pastethis link to light a candle for Maggie.
http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=Cha d
The following is Molly's diary entry for February 12, 2007:
Please, please friends at Dogster & Catster, say a prayer for my moms human boy and his puppy Maggie. Maggie got into some mouse poison and is very very sick. She is at the animal hospital and is not doing so well.
Mom's human boy is just sick, because Maggie got into the poison in the basement by accident. Maggie is not allowed in the basement and moms human boy puts a gate up before he goes to work. But some how Maggie pushed the gate down and got into the basement. Mom's human boy(his name is Chad) feels so terrible. So if you could all say a little prayer, we just know it would help.
Thank you so much....
Update:2/24/2007
Maggie is back at home, happy and healthy and playing with Chad! Thank you to all who gave prayers and wishes that Maggie be restored to good health! She certainly has been! *wags tail,bol*

I have a friend who is just the sweetest, kindest little Chihuahau that you could ever hope to meet. We've been friends fur a few months, almost since I joined Dogster! I won't mention her name, I guess, but she is very special to me. We have grown very close, and we can woof to each other about just about anything. That is why I am sooo sad and very worried about my sweet friend. Sometimes she seems to be sad and she will never really woof about what the pawblem is. I really, really want to help her if I can... even if it only means being there to listen and let her lean on me. We Doxies are very short and stout... pawfect fur a friend to lean on! Anyways, I haven't gotten any woofs back from her fur awhile now, and her other friends, and even her handsome beau, have started to woof me, asking about her! I'm sooo worried and it really makes me sad to think that she isn't happy. Valentine's Day is coming up and her boyfriend has finally started to woof her on a more regular basis. I can tell he really loves her. He sure sounds concerned that she isn't answering his pawmails. I just hope that my dear, little friend knows that I will always be here fur her and that she can woof to me about anything and I'll never woof a soul! I woldn't even woof you, dear Diary, if she didn't want me to! Well, I better get ready to go to work with my pawrents fur another looong day wondering if I'l hear from my sweet, special friend. I miss having her to share my joys and my tears and I miss her cute little laugh. She really is such a sweet friend. If she reads this, I hope she knows how much I love her! "til later, Diary.*sits quietly, thinks about her friend*

My baby woofed me today!!! :-) He really has been such a good boyfriend! I should be ashamed of myself! Buster has been woofin' me pretty regularly and what do I do? He doesn't woof fur a few little days - his mommy's been busy studying fur Geometry*YUK!* and she hasn't had time to turn the computer on- and I start whining and crying about how he isn't sending me pawmails! Now, how selfish is THAT! I shall never doubt my handsome Prince again! NEVER!!!
I wish the sound would work on his computer. If it did I would put a really nice "our song" on my page fur us, like Rosie has fur Gumba. Hmmm... I wonder if Buster will ask me to be his Valentine?! Ya know, I think he's been hinting around about the big "M" word!!! Wouldn't it be romantic if he pawposed to me on Valentine's Day??? Ah well, I guess we really haven't been dating fur that long- only 2 or 3 months, but we aren't children! I am so certain that I love him! I really feel like this was meant to be! Maybe someday I'll be Mrs. Prince Buster. Hmmm... that sounds nice! I'll just have to wait and see. Goodnight, Diary! Maybe I'll woof ya tomorrow.

Well, I really hope this feeling I have turns out to be wrong. It's been a few days again now. I'm startin' to miss my baby. Prince Buster finally got his internet troubles all worked out and he was pawmailing me everyday! That was sooooo nice! Don't get me wrong! I don't expect a pawmail every day, but I really do love to hear his sweet woofs as often as pawssible. After two...or three....or four days go by, I start to miss him! Why does love have to be sooo complicated? Why is life sooo busy??? Wouldn't it be nice to just have, like maybe, oh, say a week or two to just to be together... alone... or even with friends! But , just to BE TOGETHER! And not be wondering... and waiting... and wondering...

Dear Diary,
A couple of weeks ago we had a very scarey thing happen at our house. Zelda got a plastic bag all wrapped around her little neck so tightly that it started to choke her. Well, I was the only one right there with her so I did what anypup would have done in that situation. I barked for help! Daddy heard me and he came running. Yay, Daddy! He came and he saved Zelda's life! Now all my pals and Mommy and Daddy are going onand on about what a hero I am! Aaw, heck! I'm no hero! I just got scared and I knew my sister needed help! My little paws just couldn't untie a plastic bag like that so I started barking for help! Isn't that what anypup would do? It is pretty nice to get nice woofs and rosettes from my pals, and it's absowoofly grrreat to have won a Shiny Penny Award, but somehow I just don't feel like hero. I really think that my daddy is the hero! Whatever the case may be, and whoever the hero may be, I am just soooo glad that I still have my little sister here with me ! The Rainbow Bridge might be beautiful and special place, but it just isn't Zelda's time to go there yet! I am really glad for that cuz I love my little sister, even though sometimes she can be a real pain, and I would sure miss her if she were gone.
Zelda wrote her Diary the whole story. You may read it on her page.
Well, goodnight, Dear Diary! My eyes are getting sleeeepy!.......

My dear Diary,
First, let me woof you for always being here to listen. You are the perfect friend. You may not be big on words (hehe) but you always listen and give me your full attention!
I've been lying in my bed, trying to sleep, but I just can't stop thinking about my sweet Prince Buster. He lives soooo far away from me! He lives all the way in Cookeville, Tennessee! I asked Mommy how long it would take for me to walk there and she just said "Way too long, sweetie". I guess I better not try it, cuz I always listen to my mommy. She knows just about everything and she always tells me the truth.
It just makes me sad to think that I may not ever get to play with Busty, or give him real life kissies.
I love woofing to him on Dogster, and I suppose we could go play in forums or one of the groups somewhere, but it would really be grrreat to actually rub noses and run in the grass together!
Who knows, maybe someday.......??? I found a new song for my page that is the perfect song to describe how I am feeling about my Prince Buster.
Well, I better go back and try to sleep. I don't want Mommy's feet to get cold. Goodnight , dear Diary.

Hello, dear Diary!
Well, you're listenin' to the happiest, little weiner dog on the face of the earth today! *wiggles and jumps up and down*
I have THE sweetest, most PAWTASTIC boyfriend! Prince Buster has been pawmailing me quite regularly! In fact, the past few days I've been receiving at LEAST one pawmail per day! He is just such a cutie, too. And he is always the pawfect gentledoggy!
My Busty is still having internet problems but he is going to the library so he can pawmail little, ol' me! *smiles and bats eyelashes* I even found out that he loves to go to weddings! Now, how sweet and romantic is THAT?!!!
Aside from being treated like the princess that I am by my handsome beau, I had my 8th woofday yesterday! I got a new fancy coat! It is a horse-blanket type so it fits me super pawtastically! It's pretty tough to keep a sweater on ya when your legs are only like an inch and a half long! hehehe! Ya just kinda step right up inside your sweater, then ya stumble and trip! OMD!!! What a scene! Not to mention embarassing! *rolls eyes and shakes head slightly* So, anywoof, yeah! I got that grrreat coat and a whole boatload of yummy organic, home-made cookies from the Holiday Market! I am sharing those with my sister, Zelda. I don't HAVE to share them, but I feel sorry for Zelda because she's never even had a woofday celebration of her own yet and she won't for another, nearly...*counting on paws* 5 months.
I also got a new squeaky toy and a new bone! I feel like I scored pretty good, especially since we just had Christmas! Oh yeah! Mommy even let Zelda and me have turkey and mashed potatoes and stufffing for dinner again! She sorta skimped on the portions ( I'm s'posed to be on a diet!) but it was soooo goood!
Today at work was jungle day! That's every Thursday when we go up to Staffordshire and we get to go for walks in the woods and down by the river. It is Zelda's and my favorite workday! Mommy likes to take pictures of s up there because it is sooo beautiful.
I'm glad I finally got to write to you, dear Diary! This time of year seems to be pretty busy for just about everypup!
It's time for me to go snuggle up under the covers behind Mommy's knees now! What a life, eh? No wonder I feel so doghere happy!*runs away smiling to go find Mommy*......

OMD! Oh Diary! It's TRUE! Dogster has chosen mine as Diary of the Day! How grrrreat is THAT???!!
Gee, it IS a little, teeny bit embarrassing, but I'm sure I will get over that! I hope that Prince Buster and Kiko will get over it! bol
I sure am excited about this! I've only been chosen fur something special once before in all of my (nearly) eight years! That was Paws Club Friend of the Week! I was soooo proud when they chose me fur that honor!
I have an EVEN BETTER diary entry for today! Well,duh! I actually mean another one I am going to write, but this one here is a real classic!
I wish I could go woof to all my friends, but Mommy said that I should be humble and not go bragging too much. Mommies sure can spoil alot of fun sometimes!
Well, thank you, Dogster, fur choosing my entry! I absowoofly LOVE you!
Wags and Wiggles, Penny

Oh Diary! I am soooooo excited! Very soon after I posted my last entry to you, I got the very sweetest pawmail from my beloved Prince Buster!
Appawrently, he has had some big problems with his internet connection or his computer or something. He even said that he would snailmail to me so long as he didn't lose me! Isn't that just too sweet?!
Maybe I'm too hard on him! I tend to sort of compare him to my sister's boyfriend, which pawbably isn't fair. Gee, Kiko is soooooo attentive and he does such romantic things for her! He even gave her a picture of them TOGETHER! I guess most boys just aren't quite so expressive to their girls, but it sure is plain as day that Kiko is paws over tail in love with her! She really adores him, too. They make SUCH a PERFECT couple!
I keep hoping that over time maybe my Princey Busty might become a little more open and communicative with me. Being a girl is tough! Boys just don't understand how sensitive we can be. I sure do love Prince Buster. I hope he's telling me the truth. Maybe he just has more important things to do. I'll be patient for awhile longer and hopefully the internet problems will get solved. I still don't like the thought of that other cute little Penny-dog being on his page as a pup pal........
Goodnight,Diary. Thanks for listening, as always. - Penny

Dearest Diary,
It has been a whole week now since Prince Buster has pawmailed me. Last one came at 6:38 a.m. on last Wednesday, November 29th.
Have I done or said something wrong? Is he seeing somepup else? Why wouldn't he tell me if he has changed his mind and no longer wants to be my beau? Oh, I am sooo sad!
My sweet Prince Buster... he is sooo handsome and strong. He knows all the right things to bark. Now if only he would bark them.... to ME!!!!
Well, diary, looks like another long night. It is hard to fall asleep when I miss my love so much.
Well, goodnight, dear diary.
Not too wiggly tonight- Penny

I wonder how many other pups are laying awake tonight, with something on their mind troubling them, not able to sleep. I can only be certain of one. That's me!
I finally find my true love. My handsome, wonderful, sweet,big and strong Prince Buster. I think to myself, 'Oh, I will never be sad and lonely again!'. But, woe is me. I am beginning to wonder if my handsome Prince really loves me the way that I love him. It has been nearly three days since I have received one of his sweet paw mails in my doggie inbox. He did tell me that his internet connection was giving him trouble, but I can't help but wonder...
Today, as I was looking longingly at his page, I noticed a certain ( raises two fingers on each paw and makes "quote" signs) "PUP pal" named PENNY who is a very, very cute little Yorkshire Terrier. SHE lives in Tennessee! I wonder how close Knoxville is to Cookeville??? Sounds close. Sounds a little TOO close, to me!!!
Oh Diary! Do you think that my Prince Buster has fallen in love with a cuter, smaller Penny? One that lives closer to him and can play with him and chase squirrels with him, and give him real-life kissies??? I just don't know what I will do if it's true. If I have lost my Buster to the 'other Penny'!
My mommy says that I shouldn't be too possessive. She says that may drive him away. I just can't help myself! Prince Buster is the perfect dog for me! I love him with my whole little weenie-dog heart! My mommy says not to worry- that there are other dogs in the doggie park- but I don't want any other dog! I only want my Prince Buster.
I wonder if I will hear from my love today. It is only 1:30 a.m. on Sunday morning here in Oregon. I guess all I can do is go chew on my donut cookie and try to get sleepy enough to catch a few z's before everyone gets up around 8:00. I know that Mommy has lots of shopping and stuff to do tomorrow, what with Christmas coming and all. She needs to get our howliday photos ready and that kind of stuff, so there won't be much time for the computer.
On top of everything, I have run out of rosettes and zealies a week and a half early, so I can't even send my love a rosette! Oh, woe is me. Woe is me.

I never knew that a girl could be so happy! I recently met the most handsome and wonderful boy in the entire land of Dogster! He is actually a prince and his name is Prince Buster.
Prince Buster is a strong and very good-looking Labrador Retriever. Some say that we will never last, with such a size difference, but I do not agrrrree!! I may be a little bit smaller, and alot shorter, than Prince Buster, but my love for him is greater than any ocean! It is greater than the tallest mountain, greater than all of the stars and planets in the the solar system!
I know that Prince Buster loves me, too. He gave me a beautiful, lovely rosette and he always sends me the sweetest paw mails every day!
My darling sweetheart lives very far away from me, which rather breaks my heart, but someday we will be together. I just know that we will!
Until that time I will be true to my handsome Prince and I will think of him every day and dream sweet dreams of him every night.
I do believe that I am the luckiest girl in the world and nothing makes joy in my heart more than my sweet Prince Buster!*sighs*
Goodnight, dear diary, until next time - Penny

Well, I was just laying around, soaking up the heat from that nice big, black box in the living room, when I started to think about what a lucky girl I am. Here I have this nice warm, snuggly furever home with a nice,warm, big, black box in the living room right next to my choice of three baskets to sleep in! I have a really, really nice mom and dad who love me and feed me and play with me and keep me safe. I have a cute little baby sister, Zelda to play with and to snuggle with (when she isn't driving me CRAAAAAZY!!!! ) I have my pretty sister kitty, Rosie , who is really sophisticated and cool. I have my own bowl, my own toys , ( but I do share with Zelda sometimes - if she's really nice!), I have my own sweaters and raincoat to keep me warm and dry. And I have the nicest, sweetest, bestest furiends anypup could ever ask for - right here on Dogster! Mommy can't even remember how she found out about Dogster, but I am really glad she did because I really, really love my furiends here! I think that Mommy is really glad too, because I think she really, really loves my furiends and their mommies and daddies, too!
So, this seems like a very appropriate time of year to woof to all of my Dogster furiends how much I love them and how much they mean to me. They really add alot of happiness to my life- and to my mommy's life, too!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my furiends. I love you! And be ready for some nice, happy, adventure-filled dreams, because eating lots of turkey can make a pup VERY sleeeeeeeeeeeepy! Ahhhhh...... sleepy..... yeah..... Zzzzzzzz .....Goodnight!

I am so excited and happy and proud! I have been named 'Friend of the Week' in PAWS Club! I can hardly believe it! Duke and Maggie thought I looked so pretty in my Princess costume.I even tied for second place in the Paws Club Halloween Photo Contest! This is just so exciting for me because I have never before won anything! I am just one proud and happy feelin' hotdog today! Uh Oh! Reminds me! I need to pick a new Penny of the Week for my group!!!

Today Mom took Zelda and me shopping for our Halloweenie costumes! It was kind of fun at first, but we had to try on a million costumes and after awhile it got kinda boring. Zelda and I both just wanted to get it overwith already so we could go outside to potty and take another ride in the car. Riding in the car is SO much FUN!!! Whenever we stop next to another car I like to bark, bark, bark at the people in there. They always smile like they think it's cute, but I know they really are scared and would NEVER mess with us! So, anyway, I got my costume. I'm going to be a princess, which is totally appropriate for my beautiful self! Zelda's gonna be a wizard... HA!!! Yeah, right! I guess she's kinda smart, but she's got a WHOLE lotta learnin' to do! In a couple days I'll put my princess outfit on and show all my pals on Dogster! Woof, Woof! - Penny

Today I'm kinda sad. Seems like all I hear about is my baby sister. Zelda's soooo cute! Zelda's itchy! Zelda's a zebra! Zelda got a rosette! Zelda got her puppy shot! Zelda, Zelda, Zelda!!! I'm sick of it!!! Momma won't let me eat Zelda's baby food. She lets Zelda sleep with us. She makes me share my basket with Zelda. I do love Zelda but it's not all fun and games having a new baby sister. Momma said tomorrow she is going to take ME out shopping for a new toy and a new outfit- and ONLY me - NOT ZELDA!!!!!! = ) I can hardly wait 'til tomorrow! - Penny

Today when Zelda got home from getting her puppy shot at the doctor, we wanted to go outside to our "booth" to play in the grass. The grass was really tall (for a weiner dog and a chi) so our Daddy mowed it nice and short for us. Then Momma let us out to play. I found something that smelled sooooo goood it made me want to roll all around in it! I rolled and I rolled until I smelled really great. Zelda couldn't stop sniffing me!
When Momma let us back into the house, I jumped up on the couch and Momma came over to give me a kiss. I guess Momma didn't like my new perfume because instead of a kiss, I got a bath! Yuk! Momma seemed kind of miffed and after my bath, she put some stinky ol' powder stuff on the couch, then used that loud, scarey machine to suck it up!
I wonder why Mommy doesn't like my perfume? People are strange! -Penny

My name is Penny and I am 7 years old. I have grown up with my big sister, Daisy, and my sweetheart, Rooty, and my kitty sister, Rosie. I have been very sad recently because Daisy went to The Rainbow Bridge on May 30,2006. Then my husband, Rooty also went to The Rainbow Bridge on July 3, 2006. I was very lost and lonely so my momma and daddy got me a new baby sister - Zelda! I love Zelda alot. I love to play with her and protect her, but sometimes I get tired and she starts to get on my nerves. Then I have to snap at her and tell her to quit bugging me! We always try to sneak each other's food which makes my momma mad. Zelda needs her baby food, but it makes me fat if I eat it. I am really happy to have a baby sister. Our kitty sister, Rosie, loves her, too. We all like to play and run all over the house. Momma says it's like a zoo in here!
Some of the things I like are grooming my momma's and daddy's owies and my momma's feet. I love cookies and greenies, but Momma put me on a diet so I don't get them very often anymore. I love to go swimming in lakes, rivers, mud puddles, and sprinklers. Most wiener dogs don't like to swim , but I do! I even went swimming in the ocean a couple of times! The only place I don't really love to swim is in the bath tub. Go figure! Some of the things I don't like are skateboards, light reflections and laser lights, and violence. I bark at the t.v. when Daddy watches football and boxing.
I'm having lots of fun making new friends at Dogster. I love you all! Penny
