Leave a bone for Mikail
Nicknames: Stinky-doo (no idea why this came about "cause he doesn't actually stink), Mikail Edward, Mikailie-Whiley
Doggie Dynamics:
Likes: Playing with his ball-and if you won't join in the fun, no problem, he rolls it around with his nose and hides it under his blanket all by himself-he even runs to the top of the stairs and pushes it down! Also, going for "walkies" &having his chest rubbed
Pet-Peeves: He's a worry wart-even has an ulcer from it. He can't stand to be behind closed doors-I mean honestly-how's he supposed to protect Mommy? He THINKS he's a BIG dog and his sure if he barks enough (well, actually it's more like SCREAMS) then we'llall agre
Favorite Toy: Any thing that even remotely resembles a ball--and that even includes a grape! He doesn't like squekie toys. He will occasionally toss around a stuffed animal. He likes to be under the covers, and also inside his "pup" tent!
Favorite Food: Not dog food, that's for sure,but Mom insists it's what's best. He's such a fussy, finicky, picky eater. Once he went 3 days without eating-he was holding out for "real" food (aka "people food")...after 3 days, yes, Mommy gave in and he got some chicken!
Favorite Walk: ANYWHERE that is outside--regardless of the weather! Never mind he's only 7" tall and the snow's 12 inches deep! He even loves to watch out the window-I think he may have been a cat in a former life, 'cause he likes to lay in the sun!
Best Tricks: He can find his ball anywhere! He will show you where it is when you ask him, including going and staring, pointed nose & stiff legged, if it's in a place he can't get to. Dancing on his hind legs and also spinning in circles-it's how he got his name.
Arrival Story: Prayer of a Stray
Dear God please send me somebody who'll care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain
And dear God I pray as I run in the rain
That someone will love me and give me a home
A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone
My last owner tied me all day in the yard
Sometimes with no water and God that was hard!
So I chewed my leash God; and I ran away
To rummage in garbage; and live as a stray
But now God I'm tired; and hungry and cold
And I'm Oh so afraid; that I'll never grow old
They've chased me with sticks; hit me with stones
While I run the streets; just looking for bones
I'm not really bad God; please help if you can
For I have become just another; "victim of man!"
I'm wormy dear God; and I'm ridden with fleas
and all that I ever wanted; was an owner to please
If you find one for me God; I'll try to be good
I won't chew their shoes; and I'll do as I should
I'll love them; protect them; and try to obey
When they tell me to sit; to lie down or to stay!
I don't think I'll make it; too long on my own
Cause I'm getting so weak; and I'm Oh so alone
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry
Cause I'm so afraid God; that I'm gonna die
I've got so much love; and devotion to give
That I should be given; a new chance to live
So dear God please; oh please; answer my prayer
and send me to somebody; who will really care
That is dear God; if You're really there!

Bio: A Dog’s Plea
Treat me kindly my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world’s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Keep my pan filled with fresh water for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.
And my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing, and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my face was always safest in your hands.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Blessing of the Animals
Yesterday was a bit of a boring day. Mommy was busy making 300+ cookies (and she said I couldn't even have any-hump!). That kept her so busy we really didn't have a lot of time together.
I kept waiting for us to go to sleep, like we always do in the day because she works at night...and just about the time I was giving up all hope of fun, mommy surprised me----she took me out in the yard and threw the ball to me over and over. I was having such fun!
Then she went and got that black thingy with the flashing light that I really don't like (she calls it a camera, I call it a monster). She made me put on a few outfits, too-yuck, yuck, and more yuck!
But, after that was over, guess what she did? She hugged me and told me what a good boy I am and that she loves me and that I am mommy's baby (I like when she talks like that)--but BEST OF ALL---she got down in the grass and rolled around with me and let me jump on her tummy (which must tickle 'cause it made her laugh!). I wish every doggie and kitty and other companions all had mommies to "fuss" over them! I think, no I KNOW, that us dogster pups are so lucky to have mommies like that! But my mommy says it's the mommies that are so lucky to have US...she says that we "fuss" over our mommies too---and here I was, thinking that she didn't understand what all my yapping was about!
WOW! I can't believe these old canine eyes of mine! 26 Apr and I am DOGGIE OF THE DAY!! Mommy was soooo excited, she kept hugging me and kissing me and dancing me all around! Once I could get her to stop all that people non-sense, she showed my the Dogsters Home Page and..yup, there it was...a picture of little ole me! Then, she explained to me about what a great honor this is! And then, well, then I got all excited and starting licking her face all over and wagging my tail so fast I could hardly stay in her arms! Then, my mommy showed me all the special presents I got: bones, stars, all sorts of those different pretty rossette thingys and lots and lots of mail saying CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy that mommy joined up me and my sister, Angel Sasha, here at Dogster. You are all like family. I can't thank you all for making me feel so special! It's totally PAWSome to have such BARKarific friends! I am HOWLING HAPPY!! (only mommy said she;d prefer it if I tried to keep the howling to a minimum..jeez...what's a puppy to do?) PAWS UP TO YA"LL!
Paw hugs, Your new Dogster Pal, Mikail!
