Hello Pals!
Wow! I've been so busy that I hardly know where to begin this Diary entry!!! Lots of news to share this time, so let's get right into it!
First of all, you probably noticed that I have a brand new Summer look to my page. That's just how my Mommy is! Just when I think I have the perfect Dogster page, she gets on a kick for an entirely different look! But I must say, I really like this one. I LOVE Summer! I love when it's warm, and I love swimming. So this is a special time of the year for me. I enjoy laying out in my yard, too. And BBQ-ing with my family! The only thing I DO NOT enjoy is firecrackers in July and ANYTHING that flies during the Summer months (bees, fly and mosquitos!). Of course, with a new page comes new pictures of me. So don't forget to check out my Dogster-Plus Photo Album ... there's lots more pictures in there! But if you want to see an older picture that I had on here, I have my own website on my Mommy's site! Hers if full of recipes and things like that. Mine is all about ... well ... ME!!!! You can visit my pages at: http://cheddarbay.com/Shiloh/shiloh1.html
And speaking of my Mommy's site, she & Daddy have a wonderful project that they're working on, and maybe you and your family might want to get involved. Did you know that an overwhelming number of those horrible puppy-mills are owned and operated by the AMISH??? It's true! And being here in the heart of Amish country (Ohio ... but it's bad in Indiana & Pennsylvania, too!), Mommy & Daddy are contacting every State Representative and Senator they can think of and encourage them to support legislation that will ban these Amish-run death mills from operating. There's no limit to the number of doggies they have in these places, and sometimes their barns house HUNDREDS of dogs & puppies in small cages stacked one on top of another. These poor brother & sister dogs of our NEVER GET OUTSIDE and in fact, their little paws never even touch the ground. And once they're too old to make puppies, they're usually shot or drowned in a pond somewhere.
Well, those Amish folk don't know what they're in for until they meet my Mommy!!! She can be a WILDCAT on things like this! And I say, "GOD BLESS HER!" She's even protesting with Krogers because they sell Amish potato salad in their Deli!!! Mommy & Daddy are boycotting EVERYTHING that's Amish made, including not eatng at Amish-run restaurants and especially not supporting their lifetype by contributing to tourism. We'll just stay clear of Amish County, thank you!
It's way too involved for me to into this here on my diary, but if you want to read more about it, just go to that section of Mommy's web site at: http://cheddarbay.com/0000Amish/amish.html (I'll warn you first, the pictures at the bottom are a little hard to look at ... but the puppy-mill dogs need you!).
On a much nicer subject, I want to say a very special THANK YOU to my friend Minister Misty (# 532808) for inviting me to be a part of a very special group here at Dogster called "Light a Candle" (it's found at http://www.dogster.com/group/Light_a_candle-8427). It's a church for dogs! I had never been to a church before, but now I go every day. You can pray, light a candle or just sit and meditate for awhile. And oh, you feel SO GOOD when you leave! Thank you, Minister Misty, for touching my life with this special gift! I hope all my friends can drop in and visit sometime soon!
This is getting to be a long entry, so I'll stop here for tonight.

Hello Friends and Readers!
I recently wrote in my diary asking if anyone had any information on a dear friend of mine who disappeared from Dogster. His name is Derek, and he is a beautiful, sweet black Cocker Spaniel. Along with him, his family members Natasha & Cosita are no where to be found.
On Friday, the 4th of July, my Mommy received an email from her girlfriend Linda. Here is what Linda had to share with us:
"The last time I heard from Derek, he had a bad infection from a sore on his lip that wouldn't heal. He had a compromised immune system anyway from prior abuse and infections were extremely dangerous for him. I've got a bad feeling that the last infection may have taken poor Derek out ... If I hear any more, I'll let you know...but it sure doesn't look good for little Derek."
Although the news is heartbreaking, we continue to hope for the best and we remember Derek in our prayers every night. We hope that his Mommy just got busy and felt she didn't have time to keep up with their Dogster pals. Should she ever log on and return to my page, I beg her to please pawmail me and let me know something.
Until then, we will keep a special candle graphic for Derek on my page in hopes that Derek is well and will one day come back to me, barking and smiling his same old sweet smile! I miss you, Derek ... I will always love you!

Happy 4th of July!
It's only 4:30 in the morning, and I just got up to go wee-wee. No one else in the house is up and I shouldn't be on the computer, so I have to be Q-U-I-E-T. But I just HAD to log on and let everyone know that Dogster's Dog of the Day is none other than my own wee little cousin, Morgan!!!!! I'm the first in the house to know it and I feel like SHOUTING IT FROM THE ROOFTOP!!! But DARN, I have to keep quiet 'cause if I wake everyone up, they'll be mad at me all day!
I just HAD to tell someone, so here I sit, pecking out a diary entry so all my pals would know the good news right away!
Well, I have to say that no one deserves it more than my little cousin! Of course, he's Dog of the Day with me EVERY day! I love him to pieces. He's the sweetest, most generous little guy as you'd ever want to meet. And C-U-T-E! And he's briming over with personality-PLUS! He's loved me from day one. When Mommy & Daddy first brought me home to live with them, he ran right up to me with kisses galore. After Gam-Gam passed over into Heaven, Mommy, Daddy & I moved in to live with my Aunt Linda and Morgan (Aunt Linda hadn't adopted Nico yet), and the day we moved in, I was laying in the living room floor and Morgan ran in and got his FAVORITE chew-toy and laid it right in front of me. He was giving me his beloved cookie-toy!!!
So you can see why I'm so happy that Dogster HQ has given such a high honor to Morgan. There's no doggie in the world more deserving. When the fireworks go off tonight, it's going to be like the whole world is celebrating and saying ... "HEY EVERYONE, MORGAN IS DOG OF THE DAY!!!"
But how in the heck am I going to keep this quiet for a few more hours until everyone else is awake?????
Happy Birthday, America ... and Happy 4th of July to everyone!
Wags & Wiggles,
