		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I is. Watching my mommy ...!  BUT in our home environment, its better because then i just go about and do my thing....

Mom would never allow me to interfere.... yet...she remembers reading somewhere, that this is a very simple reason why many 'upload' yorkies out the front door....because they are simply not 'trained'/ dealt with/ regarding these situations. ....

LP could have been a total brat, but given things to do - his lil' house.... quality attention, which goes without saying ...he knows and feels comfortable in his place...:)

He also has been instructed 'not' to go to mom's 'sore' side.... :)  All is well.... Lp is good.... but if he had his way, one wonders...

And so it goes...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nope... I jump, i growl, i pull pant legs.... in fact, they invited me to come upstairs to the ortho unit to visit mom - but mom said no way - no telling how i would react. She was right!  SO no matter who it is.... i tear at them.... bark, scream, yell.... so mom has to TEMPORARILY give me my own space , humph, .... then she loves me.

Such is life. Not an easy one for now. A rough row .... so mom is on my side. ..... ! Today our first day on the laptop..... but mom not in the best 'mood' .... 

Such is life, 
And so it goes -

Sheesh...can't a pup have a vacation in peace and quiet.... !  Silly girly pups...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh yes. They took me into Petsmart ( my fave of all faves) ... saw all kinds of pups... whistled at 3 lb female three years old but she was too young for me...IN short, they got 'stuff' for me - enough to make my eyes bug for a year.

Dental bones ... of course my basic staples... :)) Life is good. Dad bought me such a big bone that i could hardly carry it...mom laughed .... but its fun!

It was just my kind of day!  Then we had a planned 'power outage' in the area for repairs... 9 hours...so i chilled.... mom gave me my usual brushing this morning...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH is mommy laughing. Daddy never went fishing before...so, not having any bait, he took a piece of my dog food. SO, we're sitting by the water...and suddenly i see my food go flying by on a long string....

Mom had to grab me because there was also a hook attached to my pice of kibble. BUt, there goes my food, on a hook.... right before my very eyes. Lucky that i didn't pounce on it, says Mom. BUT she was ever watchful that I didn't. 
Some nerve...feeding one piece of kibble to the fishes. The fact that she mentioned that i would get a first take on the first catch .... but no catch.... and i'm minus ONE kibble.

A SHAME!!!! MY FOOD.... even one kibble of my food. GONE to the fish..... !  ...
I don't know why my mom is laughing so hard. Maybe thinking about the line getting caught in the tree first, then the fish stealing my kibble!

Oh well - and so it goes...

We just sat and looked, and of course i demanded an explanation. A baby hummingbird? Flying into MY living room!  Right over the dining room table??? Mom thought that it was a big fly ....LOL!

Nice and cool, and breezy .... Mom waiting for her surgery date!

Mom said that she is not going to let anything that 'happens' in Dogster bother her, because she loves it...and loves seeing my pictures all over:)) She calls me her chunky monkey among other things.....]]></content:encoded>

It was fun, a change of scenery, getting out a little bit .... but of course we were without power / to include computer...due to the bad weather!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ They said that it was only a parade. Okay. A parade. So, we watched the parade until the big sirens came by .... even mom had to run ...!  ...SO SO MANY POOCHIES to play with. 

The funniest part - the huge 120 lb. Newfoundland..... when HE heard the sounds... he dragged his mom all around the parking lot to get away from it all! We couldn't help but giggle...this  behemoth giant..  2 years old. Stole LP's water, ( which of course we didn't mind) ... then dragged his mom all around when the 'sounds' came. 

The weather was cool... lovely! A nice parade.... just small town American in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Never saw so many pups. 

Mom is glad to be home now...ice on her leg....(referred pain from the hip) ... but is tired of
missing the 'parades' go by .... LOL!!!

No more parades for this little yorkies. OH WE DID SEE a little piggy being pulled in a wagon!  Horses, a ton of pups.... 

And so it goes....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh well...I've been doing some unusual things..... first, i dragged mom's , uh, underwear into the living room in front of company .... now this might mean that i want to go home, or the thin air up here in the mountains has affected my little brain..... 

Now tonight i dragged mom's PJ bottoms into the hallway. She called me a perv dog whatever that might mean...

THEN, ( not a good day) .... mom was walking me, and some uggy lady said " that dog is beginning to show his age". Mom had to walk quickly because she wanted to retort 'lady you are showing your age."

In short, if you don't have something nice to say about a pup, hush up. Yeah, am getting long in the tooth but aren't we all...

Mom is getting nervous about her surgery so that is perhaps why i'm picking up on some things.... literally ! I guess i want to remove her from that situation so am helping her get her clothes ready to leave...

We're supposed to go to a silly parade tomorrow...we'll watch from the car, but if it is too stressful we'll leave. Mom is good about that...she senses my needs, and i sense hers....
...and so it goes...

LOVE my car rides. Just love them. Am as good as gold when we ride .... :) We stop for the necessary potty stops, and mom chuckles and says to dad - 'I wonder if he even realizes that he was out of the US for a month.."  ... we think not, because as long as the food was there, his basic diet, fruit and veggie treats ( fresh and properly washed) ... and life is good.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, the weather has been cool. My mom keeps a hoodie on....and being here, there are ticks.... More than ever said mom because of the warm winter. She is checking me constantly!

Okay, i thank you for recognizing my Diary .... ( Diary Pick of the Day) >... mom missed so much, but then living in pain, one is apt to slack. Hopefully after the surgery, she will be ok...

Mom also misses a lot of her old friends who have moved on to the Bridge or to FB. It's a shame.... !

All pupsters take care ....love you all lots....
And so it goes....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, today was fun!  I got to eat ice cream, checked out a few shops, and would you believe someone offered to give mom 2000.00 if they could buy me..!!! Can you imagine!????  

Mom said no way - ( actually i think she said for free) ... BOL..... 

Okay, after ice cream, and back here ..... i went on the balcony, and chased a hummingbird...then on a quick 360 back into the condo / i ran into the screen..I'm not used to screened doors....and bumped my head and screamed....

Mom said that i still don't realize that i left the country....:)) Am a pup of all seasons and countries....to include, the good old U S of A !  WHOOHOOO!!!!
And so it goes...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said that it might go away - but - we need the rain! YET, the moisture, the dampness, the mold, ... has brought back the bumpies on me. 

In 2 more days we go to North Carolina , to my summer condo. I'll have fun there, sniffing out bear ( on a short leash - me that is ) .... and mom has to have some sort of funny surgery - she said that she doesn't trust the docs in Fla. SO.... we'll spend time up there. Besides, it is cooler... and no rain!  

Last year we saw snow in October. ... 
So, we'll just move onward, hope for the best. I kinda' don't like it up there because they tend to be over protective. One summer i got in the suitcase and wouldn't get out. Then i took my lil' clothes and tossed them up and down the hallway! 

And so it goes.... it will be more interesting this summer -

I want to be surrounded by water the way i was one month ago... i love the water. So where is the pool...
Oh well, for sure she'll use the pool issue as a photo op as soon as i get it ...when i get it. 
The weather has been so terrible here, says she. Hmph!

And so it goes, another boring day in the life of a yorkie .... ! Saw a keekat the other day in my yard, and when i went to chase the cat, i ran one way and the cat ran the other way. Something wrong in this picture...as in ho hum....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It has come to Mom's attention that she positioned , me, LP , as a service Therapy Dog in order to board our Ship...... she knows the root source of the rumor.... HOWEVER, LP traveled via ship / because we are in shipping.... and the company did us a favor. Dogs as pets are ALLOWED , however, on the Cunard British cruise lines they must show the proper paper work. LP just needed to present the USDA forms from the USDA OFFICE, signed by our vet . This included micro chip information / and the UTD vaccinations for the USDA/Vet to verify. 

There was a service dog on the ship.  They didn't impose themselves on people who wanted a getaway ...even though they had the right to do so.

LP pretty much stayed in our cabin WITH US , but... the pups that were aboard the ship had a big 'sandbox' type litter box.... ! Mom was proud that i did not make any intentional mistakes in the public rooms, but then, i was confined to my carry on. And i used the sandbox and had fun.

Pups are to be properly tagged, and not left alone in their cabins AT ALL. Pups can disembark in the ports. The papers from the USDA/VET are photocopied and kept on board ship.

ANY SERVICE DOG that does not have the USDA papers cannot travel.  ALL LP needed was the USDA /Vet papers. Again, LP is NOT a service dog.

The comment 'all LP needed was to flash a service dog document'.... is not true. LP is NOT a service dog, ... but he did need to flash USDA forms and they are computerized. 

FYI in case anyone wants to travel...... some ships will say no, some will say yes... Cunard is very pet friendly...:)

Yours truly...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As in Bummer. Mommy promises to get me a tinier pool.....but we've had so so so much rain....!  Gots to get my pool.... plus, we've been traveling so so much. Mid June we will be up in our North Carolina place, but that won't be fun either. Mom might have to have hip surgery... so.... grrrrr......

In short, it has been so nice...met so many neat pups this year.... my close friend Abigale June... / of course Miss Dixie, and a whole bunch in YorkieVille United. Mom is distressed about Tiny Paws.... but people are all on Facebook.... 

BUT, we'll stick to this form of social networking. More social and friendlier, or so we've been told....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is so behind in writing. Where to begin. Let's start with meetups...:)) Would you believe that last October I was able to MEET my buddy Vern's Mom in Maryland, as well as my sweet Miss Dixie!???? Now that was a meeting!!!  We loved, ate, .... i got to stay in a hotel which i love . Love to jump from bed to bed. And free breakfast. 

Actually we stayed in the mountains of North Carolina. I love it up there. Nice and cool.

We are going to go again soon enough...only mom has to see more MD's for her hip/ and her walking issues....or so she says...:)) She wishes that she could go back to Miss Dixies and visit the moms' there but she has to settle her physical problem once and for all. No way to spend a summer...but my Daddy will help out.

Let's see - we also spent time with Abigale Junes Mom - they came for Easter this year....and it was wonderful!  Mom said that i was too aggressive...and its not the first time .... ANYWAY..stay tuned...mom missed a lot in her writing, but she'll make up for it. 

PSST/ had my fruit, yogurt, broccoli and kibble.... anti-oxidants help the skin issues..!

...and so it goes.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This means ; I have my sea legs back, but frankly, never lost them... !  I sure miss those neat fruits, veggies.... room service, WOW!!!  Mom certainly keeps the diet under control, now if she could 'control' hers. 

We've had some rains, winds here - but - being on the high seas has taught me a lot. Nature is nature, and it's all around us. We have to cope, to balance, and to keep on balancing. 

More good news.... 2 more cruise ships are now accepting pets. OPENLY accepting pets. That would be the Queen Mary - and the QE 2...but the paper work is different for British ships. 

For this ship/  i just needed my basic vaccination papers- and a document from the USDA from my vet to prove that i was in good health and fit to travel. 

When we got back into the states, they never asked to see the documents.... :))

Until the next time.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, I was whisked away by family, and on the ship we went. Greatest happening in my life. They even had a giant size littler box on the 4th deck  - and Mom said that i was very good! 

It was an adventure to say the least. As in Room service, where I would obtain bits and pieces of fresh fruits, veggies, my main kibble - and life was good. We would go on the jogging deck, mom would wrap me - and we'd watch the ocean go by .

Most exciting was finally reaching the Rock of Gibraltar ....we took pictures, Mom hugged me, kissed me, and cried. It was so beautiful. YET - her main goal was to protect me, because everyone wanted to pet me. We had to keep a low cover. So aside from our outings where mom hid me in her nautica bag, we kept to the cabin.

My legs on land: the Canary Islands. .... I chased pigeons. Pigeons on the Canary Islands? Hmm....strange. I expected to chase Canaries. ( Tanirife).

Then we went to Palma de Mallorjas - i stretched my legs as mom shopped for pearls...then on to Barcelona which was too noisy and crowded. I slept in my bag while mom shopped a bit - but we were all tired.

THEN on to France - Toulon ... i enjoyed the train ride tour!  I was 'so allowed' everywhere because over 'there' , wherever i was ( Mom said that i didn't realize that i had left the country)  - they love us little ones.

On to Civitavecchia ... where we waited for Dad to get the rental car. THEN the drive down to the Southern part of Italy south of Naples - where my / our loving family was waiting for us. OH what joy! Such love. One Auntie had a poodle...so, after the usual greeting sniffs, I headed for her food figuring that she had to watch her diet. Being a poodle and all. We stayed there for 5 days ( after 2 weeks aboard the ship) . Flew from Rome to Dusseldorf and then back to the US.

A screaming baby, as in non stop  - was amusing. Maybe to me, but not to mom. I just sat on Mom's lap and watch that critter make a fool of itself. We're speaking non stop here.

Landed in Ft. Myers Florida. .... visited our family friend in the nursing home...and now...am snoozing it off. 

Strangely enough, the house isn't moving. To all those that read: Make sure you have your papers ( vaccine) on hand, which they never look at when they see my adorable face ..... !  Mom took my food ( the Nutro in the little disposable tubs - my dry food ( kibble)  in little plastic bags - enough 'p' pads just in case - but i never needed them. In short, i had my own suitcase. 

In Dusseldorf Germany, mom took me into the Ferrari Store and bought me a teddy bear. Didn't like it. Couldn't snap the neck, and i was way toooooo tired. 

So here we are back in the States, all safe and sound - and Mom said that this was her objective in addition to seeing family, ( even if they hoisted my carry on onto the luggage rack) ...but to get me back to the States safely.

Ciao, 
Auf Weidersehen, 
Arrividerci Roma - in short - IT WAS GOOD! Life is good! And GOD BLESS AMERICA!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, plenty of pool pix on YouTube, mom is determined to make me a celebrity yet...but it's so so boring. No peace of a little pup.....sheesh!

Mom has finished a very very busy teaching year...and is looking forward to a long summer with me. We may not stay in hot Florida, but go to our mountains in NC for the summer.  We love it there.... :)) I love the fresh clean smells of the wild!:)) Being my own pup.... and going out for long walks, now that mom is walking better.

The year has not been to kind says Mom...... she and others am sure, are so so unhappy with our state of affairs..... and for some strange reason, 'nothing we can do, ' says she..... Hmm...if us Yorkies only ruled.

I miss so many of my pup friends....... all off to another book with a face. A shame really!  Can you imagine a book with a face, or a faceless book telling all to the world. Mom wishes it would dry up and go away!

Special huggles, .....

Also, had houseguests. Couldn't wait until they left because they didn't like me. And mommy said.......uh, never mind what she said, hehe........!!!

This cannot be March already!  Gosh!!!  BUT in the eyes of a yorkie..... time sorta drags. I took a few walks on my own, but, of course i get in trouble. 

Mr. Kitty hides in the bushes and terrorizes the heck out of me..... gee....at least meow that you are omnipresent, dear KAT. .... silly thing. I've learned to take detours to avoid that 'thing'..... in case he backtracks when i chase him.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep. Mom and Papi got me in 2004. They drove in the van on Sat., and there I was. Mom searched for 2 years....and even 'interviewed' the breeder lady........not knowing that she would be the one!

Yup/ she's was the one....! There she was, with me in her arms. My Pedigree ( not that Mommy really cared because she loved me at first sight) ..... was Juan Carlos of Spain...my Daddy was the breeder in the Royal Palace in Spain. Then my "FurDaddy' came to this country, met my mommy Patti..... and that was it. Seven of us. And i was the runt! 

Mommy held me so close. Now, she used to Adopt doberman , but for sure, she wanted someone like me. In fact, she started looking for me when her last doberman Jake was alive...so that HE could have a buddy....BUT... Jake went to the Bridge. And after moving from Miami to St. Augustine, she decided it was time to get what 'she' wanted/ always wanted. ME. Yup ME!!!

SO, at 8 and 1/2 weeks, mom was there. .... and oh.... we were all so in love. Our Valentine. Her 'funny ' Valentine....... and pure, unconditional love....:)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YUP, on February 14, 2004, - a Saturday, I was picked up from the breeder, and brought to this very house. They brought a little basket to put me in, ... but to heck with it. I JUMPED OUT, into mom's arms, and looked out the window of the car ..... 1/4 of a pound..... my ears still taped up!

And the story goes. They didn't know really what to name me ... Valentino? NO, Moses? ( because of the basket and blankie)? No. .... 

It was great. Simply great..... I slept next to mommy. Made the most precious little yorkie sounds, she said..... and learned to meander my way around this big house.

So this is 'my' day.....I got gotted.

When they brought the basket to pick me up ..... I jumped out, got on mommy's lap/ ..... and looked out the window, as best I could....I could never stay 'put'.....:)))  Mommy is trying to think of a nice surprise for me...maybe a ride out to my 'breeders'...... she and mom are close....!

Sadly enough, some day all the peoples there will realize that it's big brother all over again... !  Mom says that it is the most dangerous thing that has happened in communications.  Scary too... so I wave hello to all my relatives in Italy , and that's it.

Lots of little doggies there too!!!  .... yeah!

The weather is warming up here..... a fake winter if you well, here  in N Florida... no snow here..dang....

Okay... hi to all that read this, be safe, be careful, and stay warm...

The weather is supposed to get cooler, but it doesn't...it's in the 50's, and supposed to freeze tonight. They always say that.....!

Not much to report today... :)) Mom says to tell all pups - be well, stay safe and warm. Those that have REAL winters. This is a fake winter.....BOL!!!

OH but mom says that I was really a good boy!  A super boy.... ! BUT she likes to call it that. And I know I'm a super boy!

SO ENDS a season. It was a fun season. BUT, as mom put it ' it will be upon us soon enough.'
Let's hope that this is a better year for all! It has to be!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ......when you're having fun!  BUT as a little yorkie who can have fun in this 'cold' weather. Mom says that i haven't seen anything, since she is from New Yorkie, and the weather is different there.

I've been playing, sunning myself which is easy to do here, and  just playing TOP DOG!! Yup. I miss a lot of my friends who have left Dogster for that Faceless Book.... mom prays that it will go under....and she refuses to do anything on it.... 

And so it goes. All in the life of a healthy, happy Yorkshire terrior......!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Some dates. In spite of the cooler weather here in N Florida, Mom put me in the tub today. It felt good on my tiny ever so slightly arthritic hip!  ... but am feeling frisky and fine! Am wearing my hoodie today also which I love!!! SO many neat clothes for Christmas, but this is my favorite hoodie. 
Mom washed it this morning, and i followed her to my chest of drawers which are ALL MINE, cuz I own and possess.... and made sure she put my shirt away CAREFULLY!

Okay, that being done - we are enjoying some at home time together .  Now we are watching 101 Dalmations together. Ohhhh those puppy barks. 

Have a good day, in keeping with the Spirit....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Or so they say. This is sweater weather for me because I am so  chilly !  Thanks to the groomer who stole my fur! Sheesh!!!  They must have some perverse delight in torturing us lil' pups so much... 
Could think of better things to do with my time and energy!  Lots of it. 

BUT today I went to visit some family in the big condo, so i had time to run off the ounces i had gained during the holiday! Oh yeah......... !  It was fun!! I like that yard better. Full of all of these neat super smells........ to die for!

So ends a Sunday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, almost that time. Mom says that it has been a most depressing year, in more than one way! BUT, we have to think positive... live in the now, as us Yorkies are prone to do ( pups in general) ... and just take life by the horns. And go with it!:))

Mom said that we cannot let the external forces rule us. .. and she is right!  
Mom is also in the process of trying to get me to pose with my Christmas gifts...but , she's having a ruff time. Can't cooperate.  !

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ No way. Am just recovering from Summer vacation in the Carolinas. Needless to say, it's here. My Porta potty delivered....and a week from tomorrow , feet will fill the house!!   FEET, FOOD, DROPPINGS, DRIPPING, a pups delight! 
Am not so used to the cold weather though, but Mom is blessing it. Our summer was so hot/ am surprised that it got this cold.
Anyway .... to all my pup buddies, so so sorry for this diary lapse. It must not happen again. 
Mom is doing more teaching this year, not helping out in retail, and just busy like all the rest of the pups and their moms'.

Here's hoping that all furs are safe, protect, and warm. Nothing sadder than a hungry lonely pup on Christmas eve. God bless them, be with them, and may they find shelter! Someway...somehow...!!

Love you all...take care, and just don't overeat ..( hehe)  ....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Way too sad. My cousin, a basset went to the Bridge on Friday!  He was 12. Pooh. 
My Auntie Colette / Vern's mom made a beautiful picture of Pooh, and we sent it to my hu-sis. She is of course still crying....but we pray that she will be stronger with time. 

Mom said that everytime we went on an outing, Pooh would get more attention than me...
not funny, but now she's glad that he did. A great big basset... !  If you read this keep them in your prayers. It was the awful C word that the vets were not 'familiar' with. A different kind of c. !

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH yes, we had a good day!!  They took me for a grooming on Friday and today, we went to a special place for a nice breakfast!  I got to go!  Whoohoo!!!  It was neat to hide in my carryon and watch the feet walk by!
BUT now the weather is really getting 'hot'. It was in the high 80's today, and of course mom suffered . She says every year that this is our last in Florida.

Otherwise, things are slow!  Dogster seems different. Dogster seems impossibly slow...and mom's confuser in is the shop again!  
BUT THIS MORNING - she had the best mothers day gift ever:  I snuck up on her, and curled right in her legs, between her feet, and snuggled.  She said that I was the BEST Mothers Day GIFT EVER! Nothing could replace my love....nothing...she got a lot of kisses from me too... and she huggled me...! BIG TIME.

Silly mom, always hoping for a gold medal. They put me in this 'race' box for the yorkie races.......and when they said ready , set, go, i just walked about, sauntering, they cheered me on to race to mom....... but nope. I was taking time to smell the roses.... / err grass on the track....

It was really fun though.....fresh air.... the sky/ sun perfect. No heat. I got some extra treats.... because after all, it was all about me...........

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Life has started strange....... this year has started most strange.......and every day, says mom...... there is something to make it 'stranger'. 

We're finding it difficult to cope.... mom's walking is still not the best, but she thinks that she has found a 'team' that will help her. 

As a little yorkie......I feel sad.....I feel alone..... so much strife and anger in the world....way too sad.... even some of the pups are mean......mom doesn't know how long we can stay here even.........

To everyone who is reading, it's not about 'US', it's about the pups!!!! :)))  Treasure and hold them close.....:))

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ms. Dixie will be my date for the Valentine Dance. Such a sweet lil' girl with a sad story, but a happy ending... Of course, her mom went to great lengths to see that she could walk again, and it warms our heart to know that there are SOME kind people like this left on our earth!

Mom still not walking normally..... very discouraging......but we'll pursue. If MDixie can do it, so can mom:))

Meanwhile, it has been cold in Florida, and I've been sleeping a lot....Mom said i'm getting a little 'plump'....oh well. I'll burn if off as soon  as the Florida heat starts ...which will be soon enough. BUT we enjoyed the cold front.

I dash in the house, dash out.....even living in Florida!  We have the heat on. Have been negligent in my writing, cuz my mom has been just plain negligent this year...but we are working to get things on track. 

All in all, nothing to really complain, we have our health, and that is the most important thing:))

We can only say one thing: let 2010 be a kinder, gentler, New Year to everyone......everyfur..... :)

Little did we know, we were inviting everyone to our own surprise Birthday party!  Talk about a weird twist of fate...........it was wonderful!

Anyone who wants to read the party it is in the playroom!:) Adorable!!!!! Precious, loving kind Dogsters........!

It has been a year of our own trial and tribulations......health-wise for mom........and other issues......but to keep our holidays and love Alive, Dogster has helped, as have those that made up this group!

Fortunately , Mom had my Christmas Sweater on......but we couldn't take photos of the lights, because mom doesn't know how to use her camera and CHRISTMAS BULB LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

OH well....... !  It's that time of year, and we love it!! Got lots of pats, but my little leggies got tired, so Mom carried me in my carry-on.  Yup/ that time of year....

Actually, for any interested Yorkie.... Mom has been working on building/ rebuilding YorkieVille!!! 
So far so good. We are afraid in general, that many pups are onto other sites off of Dogster. In any event, it's December.

Mom is doing better..... has been through a trillion tests..... but is walking better than before!! A freak thing, said she.

OUR APOLOGIES for not keeping you all updated. We'll try and do better!  So many pups, so many things to do, so little time.... LOVE, and a Happy Holiday , Merry Christmas season to all, yours truly......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BOY, she is driving me crazy. Not mom. Mom loves her. So I decided to be just plain 'bad.' Go figure. She sleeps where I sleep and mommy lets her. She is a bag of wind, says I , the Lord Pippin of Pippington. 

Mom not really happy, though, because of the bad MD here. He wouldn't give her the shot... he wanted to remove her hip instead. That would look funny!  1/2 a mommy! BOL!   SO, she is still in great discomfort, but not enough to be sawed in half. No way!  She is trying some holistic methods.....but, time will tell on that one. ! Mean MD's...... and it might get worse says mom.  So what to do.... we all don't know.

MEANWHILE, MK, the real owner of Tinkerbelle ( yeah, she looks like a meatloaf) , will be back in a couple of days. IN fact, Tink slithered after me like a snake, so now i don't go on the bed. Tink takes it all.... hog for a dog!  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...............

Mommy is going to get me one. She said I could eat out of it  ( ewwww)!!!  
Anyway, some good news: Mom may be walking fully without pain after Friday. She is supposed to get some injections that will help ( in her leg/ hip) .......let's all hope for the best. Mom 'splained' it to me today, and I know those words, " fix' , ' Dogtor'...oh...I have quite a vocabulary!  And i understand !!!

SO.... October will move quickly, and we say Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian Friends!!!!!

Over two years now, and they cannot seem to find what the real problem is.......they have an idea/but time will tell. Mom is mad because of all the MD's in the area that are supposed to be good... she never saw such stupid people...BOL!  Someday she will walk normally again. It will be 2 years this Nov. 

Good news, Mom has enhanced the group YorkieVille.... and all those that want to join.... just us yorkies.... will have a good time :))  Over 20 new joins in the last 2 days.....:)))  It's fun.....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gosh we just started September, but this morning while mom and dad were having their coffee, I snuck into my toy box... I bit into a toy that started playing "we wish you a merry christmas."  Well, mom didn't know that i had a toy with that capability!  SO,  she and dad just looked around? It was strange....that toy keep 'whistling' ....! Even I didn't know where it was coming from and I was carrying it into my favorite bed. Needless to say, I thought that a kill would be in order. SO the more i tried to kill, which at that time, mom and dad were laughing so hard, the more the toy kept singing "We Wish you a Merry Christmas"... And so it goes....another day in the life of a bored lil' yorkie, yours truly,]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yeah.... was gnawing on my bone, and mom saw me walking to her breathing funny, ... i was calm cuz i know mom is calm..... ! Anyway, she lifted me, and saw that I was quietly choking on that silly bone. She calmly picked me up, listened to my chest, and went to the refrigerator and gave me a favorite piece of cooked carrot. I GULPED, so she saw that the carrot pushed that bone down ( or piece of it)! She didn''t panic because she didn't want to scare me or make me panic...!  Yeah, mom comes in handy once in a while.

Today is boomer day. They started earlier here in Historic St. Augustine. Tonight should be a big one. Pray for rain!

HEY, discovered something that i like!  Other peoples garages... ! Lately when a garage door is open i like to run in and snoop , so mom is running in and out of other peoples garages with a weird look on her face cuz she knows the dangers of anti-freeze on the 'floor.'....
BUT ITS FUN!!!!!!!!!!  She doesn't think so..... yours truly,]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh did i have fun today! Mom said that today was MY day ( all days are actually, but I'll appease her today) , .... we went to the St. Augustine Lighthouse, and walked around the park! It was great. Met two cute Papillons that got so excited when they saw me strutting myself through the park, they fought each other as to who would kiss me !  Mom sort of pulled me away cuz, the mama of the 2 was starting to get nervous. Thought they her tigers could whip me into shape. Not. All I have to do is LOOK.  The power of the LOOK. It works. Then ...  Mom let me play with the water hose, to cool off after my sojourn, had my bafffff, and life is good!  Took my heart room stuff.....whatever that is, and was totally spoiled today ( and sort of everyday as time permits.)!

Mommy told the groomer that she wants me shaved in the 'back private area'........well....... I was hopping like a frog all night. And when she ( the groomer) went to get me out of the CAGE  (I'm not a caged wild beast) ..... I cowered. I didn't want her to touch me ever ever again. BUT I heard my mommy's voice. And I flew out of da cage and into mommy's arms......!  Mommy held me close. Ever so close, but she saw this, but thought nothing of it. When we got home and all night.....i was a hopping leap frog. Mom checked me out/ and put aloe, because we think that she cut too close....... am resting now......wiff mommy......but i hurt.......didn't do my do = do this morning, but will after she feeds me. right now, i had a bad night, and i need to be close to mommy!!!!
Please please dear Dogster fans..... tell your mommies to look for all probable signs of a hurt. We will look for another, that goes wiffout say....... but do beware. Much love and huggles to all...... again, beware!!!

Last night 'they' caught me trying to get into a white, plastic pail ....  good smells from there, as in deboned chicken, chicken 'stuff', and wow, I had to have 'at it.' SO, I stretched my little self, but, Papi caught me... ! Now this is a first. I didn't quite reach the 'gar-bage' as they called it ( sounded too good to be called gar-bage). .... the pail was too tall. Papi says that I wish I were tall ....ho hum.... guess so.  SO, Mom pulled me aside and and had a talk with me. This morning, I glared at her in the kitchen, looked at the 'pail', and walked on by, knowing full well, that she was right... and of course, no good smells!  So what was the use of getting into 'trouble', when it simply wasn't worth it.......no smells..... wonder why! , yours truly,]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy says that I am a happy boy!  We had so many people on Mothers Day, and of course you know that I love feet. They were all over the house....!  Sometimes it makes me nervous, so mom let's me have her bedroom, or so she thinks that it's hers.... especially if it gets too much for me. SHE thinks it's too much but little does she know , i am waiting for food droppings but no such luck!  ANYWAY, it was a nice day. My skin sister checked me all over as she usually does and thinks that i am allergic to flea bites. Hate to say it, but i had a bite. No telling where that one came from. In short, I do miss Lola, but she has been a bit 'fresh' lately, which tells mom that she is feeling super. 
Anyway, what next: Memorial Day. Mom will get my pool gear all ready, and I'll have fun!!! YAY!  She whispered that she might get it sooner......

Ahh, the blue of the pool, right next the our beautiful ocean. From  the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans, white with foam.... God Bless America, our home, sweet home....., yours truly!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, she is home. She stayed another few days, but we spoke with the family today, and they are really going overboard to take care of her. ....  and they do love her.... but they need to care for her more... !  And it appears that they are. We told her mommy that the next time she comes for a visit, she would not be released from my mommy's clutches.... if she needed something, but wasn't getting it. And my mommy means it. It was all said diplomatically and tactfully, and we laughed a lot.... but it was getting old. Mom was paying way too much attention to her. She was frisky  and fun, but....they all went goo goo over her. SO, i headed towards mom's best carpet, but she screamed and got me......( I can be  a vindictive yorkie  you know) .....  
So, when no one was looking, i went for the coffee creamer, mom's good crystal, and started licking/drinking it. It sure got some attention!  I was so sleek, hehe.......  yours truly,]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh yes, Lola is getting better, and we all had lunch together today. She was very alert, bright, and wanted to go after a tiny schnauzer that also came into the shop. Mom is going to post some good pix !
We had a wonderful time.

Now here is a bummer!!  Mom and Moshe/Levi's mom got together but we pups had to stay home!!!  Why? It was too hot, and the mom's had a lot to talk about.  

Also, took a nice walk around the market that 'happens' on Sunday from 12-4. 
All in all, it was a good day, and Lola will be spending 3 days with us this week......
Yours truly......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup, mom had Lola visit me for a couple of days to do her mom a favor, because her mom is dealing with a husband who has dementia very badly!  SO, we were just too surprised, that Lola's eyes were sunken in, and she looked as thin as could be!!!  Mom's eyes were leaking, and she left a list of things for them to DO when they picked her up!  She bathed Lola, gave her lots of lamb and rice while i had my same ole same ole, but it is with a heavy heart that we write this. ( Her picture is on my front page).I've known her since she and I were both nine months. My little yorkie heart is very heavy for this lil' yorkie. She is too beautiful and too precious. BUT she isn't the same. Mom is going to keep spot checking to make sure.  The 3rd day she was more like her 'ole' self...we know she isn't being 'hurt', and she was so glad to see her mommy, but my mommy told her mommy a thing or two, and will report her to the authorities, if this continues. She is itching herself constantly! Mom says that she has no business owning a yorkie. Frankly, mom was tempted to NOT give her back....but we will monitor things very careful .... we are both sick over this. ...she never used to be this way, and stayed with us to keep me company now and then...but this time was different.....sadly, but yours truly,]]></content:encoded>

SO, I gave Dad a hard time today. He said: Let's go for a ride. I refused. Let him take Lola ... I don't want any part of it. SO i got stubborn, pouted and stayed HOME. THEN, I went outside...

Then she heard it AGAIN....well, she jumped from the bed, tore open the shutters, and thew up the sash!....... BLACK BEAR were raiding the dumpster. THEN, by the moonlight, she saw a huge black bear and its baby eating snow. WE could hear the crunching. Mom lifted me by the window, but I didn't react at all...after all.... in spite of their power, we are in their territory, all creatures, great and small..... I sniffed a bit, and curled up in my bed....., dreaming of the potential of black bear, and how my sweet buddy TomCat had cougar marks in his butt..... and how sad...BUT...we're in their land.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay. Have been one lazeeee Yorkie!  On Easter Sunday, I met up with all 14 dogs at my skin sisters house.... my usual snarl and they backed off. 'Cept Simona .  The basset with a starvation attitude. She stuck her face in the garbage and came up looking like an Easter Egg...elongated. She was multi-colored. ... in short, someone had thrown frosting from an Easter Cake in the garbage much to Simona's delight. 
Meanwhile, my buddy Earl, the redbone coonhound was chasing around in one of the ponds in the mud. I sort of tried it, but that was it. My face came up muddy... mom had to stick me in the sink . Ugh. 

THEN we left for NC. Stayed at a neat hotel. Nice soft carpets, felt like grass...mmm..... Ahem..... THEN we got 'here'.  Some patches of some white stuff called SNOW.  I put a paw on it, ugh... frozen pawsycle...whoa!

So am here, dreaming sweet dreams about all of my pup pals, gal pals, and so it goes..... will be here, said Mom, till Sunday!   Tomorrow, I go for a big ride in the car, and will sniff around.... special hellos to Ms. Abigale June, zoe, my sweetie, Kandi, my sweetie, Cwissy Edwina, another sweetie....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup/ the day that they finally picked me up!  WOW... what a day. Mom still claims that she didn't know what to do with me...... i was so tiny, and she wasn't used to Tiny Dogs. 
Okay, so , she didn't even know what to name me except Moses, cux she brought the basket for me all lined, and i didn't want any part of the basket or the name....so .... created my own identity and picked my name. SO, I found the CD sleeve that said Pippin. Her favorite music since she directly the musical in the school where she taught. I dropped the paper at her feet, looked up at her....and she picked it up and it said "PIPPIN"..... the broadway musical. She had  leaky eyes, and named me PIPPIN, but we had to put Lord Pippin because my daddy lived in Spain at the time, and ran around the Palace of King Carlos/ ....... hence, a line of royal pups. Mom calls me a royal......... hehe.......:)) ANYWAY, have a Happy Valentines Day..... EVERYONE....AND HERE I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yours truly, ( PS) , my furdaddy flew from Spain with 24 others)..... relocating in Sarasota Florida!!! He is 17 now....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup/ mommy is whispering to Papi!  She looks at me with love and says 'remember when.'.....
On Saturday, February 14, 2003, Mom and Dad went to 'pick me up.'  Mom had been searching for years for the perfect pup. She had Doberman before, but then switched to wanted a yorkie after they went to the Bridge. In short, she went to the breeders, a most trustworthy one, and was surrounded by 'us.' She said she was 'scared' because she never had 'one' before. SO, she got 'me'....even though i was in a loving home, with tons of brothers and sisters, ..... 
She brought a little basket. Wanted to name me Moses. No way was I going in that little basket. At 8 weeks, I had to sit on her lap, no basket for me, no name Moses, and I looked OUT THE WINDOW standing UP!  Mom almost freaked. I wasn't a basket boy for sure. My ears were still 'taped'.... she put the little basket by my bed, and that was that. My furrrever home. Although I missed my furmommy and furpoppy, .... we had a great ride home....and so far, all has been well with the world!!]]></content:encoded>

We had visitors for the night, and knowing that they didn't like me.... well, I acted up! yup, mom said like a naughty, spoiled child. They were going to realize my presence, or i would make my presence known!  I did. It didn't work. Mom can be as stubborn as me.
! So I suffered. BUT, I was at my best at 6 in the morning. I wanted OUT of the other bedroom, and started BANGING on the door of the guests. They got the message. ( hehe)!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ! So far wow!  Mom and da skin sister are really involved in pet rescue..taking pets from no kill shelters right into homes. My Skin sister found someone with nothing better to do, I guess, and uses his small lear jet to fly the pups right to their furrrever homes after properly vetted. We are soooo excited about this!!!  And guess what....SKY , one of my BESTEST Yorkie gal pals, is helping with this as is her Mom...!  Last night mom was on line furrever because of this horrible person 'near' us/ ... with 150 tiny exotic pets....some left to die..... because it didn't 'work'. ( Cross-breeding)!  So, mom got onto Dogster, and boy were those pmails, emails/ flying ....!!! Mom even posted two news items in the Orlando paper thanks to another pup who lives in Orlando!!!! (Binx) , and of course Thumper, and forgive me forgetting names Raven from Jacksonville ..... OH , Georgie Girl, .....  and it was a wild night. This horrible woman now has retained an attorney and all of our efforts have been blocked. SO...mom said steam was coming out of the laptop....BOL!!!!!  What did i do?? Watch. 

Had my baff today.....all my bedding washed/ and I'm a new baby! BOL!!!!!  Huggles all, and hey/ a special thank you to the Dogster Folks that really came to the 'rescue' . Literally!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is rather upset to say the least!  Spy's Mom passed away in her sleep!  It is a sad story, and sadder yet if you didn't really know what an awesome human she 'was' (said Mom)!  She switched from Yorkies to the Doberman Pinscher... but was very active in breeding yorkies. One of her Yorkies was the renowned CH Peppermint Patti. The web page is phenominal....and if anyone has it, mom  would like a copy of it. She is doing an all out search. In short, her Yorkies were as beautiful to the Yorkie kingdom as Spy is to the Doberman Kingdom......! So we will keep this short, but we will never forget her....! Never ever. She always had time to answer Mom's Yorkie questions....always. ...... and Mom knew that she was getting the perfect information! May she rest in peace! And Bless Nikki her daughter ...who had an unusual bond with her Mother. May the Angels hold you High dear Wendy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Imagine, the man in the white coat, picking me up and looking at my, um, errr, belly!  Sort of had some breakouts due to allergies, wet grass, which equaled an infection. SO, and get this: they even took a piece of scotch tape and pulled some hair off of my belly!  Now if that isn't the lowest form of low. Gee.... !  .....  they kept wanting to poke and probe cuz, says Mom, they aren't getting any business. No wonder people cannot afford to keep their pets... !  And that is a shame, says Mom.

So, I had my medicated bath, and am taking my anti-itch pills, and antibiotics. I'll be okay. Just a mere inconvenience. BUT imagine the humiliation..........]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oopps....just getting used to 2008/and now we have to change the numbers again said Mom.  Today I have to go to the vet... mom said something about my 'skin', but ..... it should be no big deal. someone else told her / a yorkie 'expert' that if I have allergies, then i should not be getting boosters... so we will see. It's okay with me. I'm a happy boy at the vet....flirt with the nurse, hop all over..... who cares. My mommy and daddy are there, so what difference does it make. I never make a fuss....in fact, I love going to the vets cuz it means a ride in the car.

Mom said that there is TP dance tonight, so i have to get into shape for that. She has the day off, so it will be a good day!:))  We have to start January good.....because that means x number of days till pool time....! Whoohoo.......!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was neat. Mom was riding me around in the shopping cart in the store where I am allowed. ... then up pulled another carriage. Mom looked in thinking that it was 2 babies/ well, yeah....furbabies.....!!! 2. All zipped up. We barked and communicated in the aisles while mom and their mom spoke. It was funny!  How we 'know' our 'own'. .... then we waved goodbye.... and wheeled our separate ways! If that wasn't fun. Problem is: I wanted to play with them but their mom had them so zipped up/ while I on the other hand, was sitting UP in my carry on .... casing the joint.  I wanted to play SO BAD.  I think that they were a Vern and Chloe type dog... hehe.... ! I wanna' play!!!!!!

Now off to my nap, home at least...... and......later on a 'baff'...........!?!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh woe oh woe.... something about numbers. They are changing mom said, and soon it will be another number. We don't really know what to think, because ..... well, there's nothing that we can do! Time passes, and soon we will be into that high number. She explains things to me. But she looks into the sky, and her eyes leak when she says it, and we both wonder. ... she says "what next."   She also says, "nothing will surprise her."
Yet...so many many beautiful people that she has met through Dogster. And she is ever so thankful for those who really know her, and have been kind to our family!  ME specifically.... am only seven lbs... what can I possibly do.
Anyway, she wants to take the time, through me, to wish every-fur a Happy New Year. And to those out there somewhere: help is on the way! Someway, somehow, help is on the way!
Precious friends - Happy New Year!  Love, Lil' Lord Pippin!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, if man can do it, why can our own. Sheesh!  Was supposed to meet Lola at the French cafe. Mom put a tie on me/ ( a Christmas gift) ....and I jumped into my carryon and off we went. Must say that I was looking pretty dapper. SO, we walked into the cafe and Mom put my carry on  / on a chair, and Lola was already sitting there in her carry on waiting.  I was so happy to see her. We are a month apart in age, and have been forever friends. ANYWAY, went to put my head in her carry-on and she snarled a snarl that would make my tail curl if i have one which we know i don't. Dang was she fit to be tied. I just wanted to say Hi!  Mommy and Daddy laughed. Yeah sure. Daddy said to me:  that will teach ya' son....!  "  

!  And she smelled so sweet!!!  I just wanted to see her. Before I knew it, they were separating the carry-on's.....and I was frozen stiff with fear.. !  In fact, I was quite paralyzed in the confines of my own carry on......gee, I even brought her a present. Oh well........such is life indeed.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, since our sacred night is on Christmas Eve/ Santa arrived early!  WOW... mom is going to prepared a photo of ALL my gifts/ .....Dogster loving buddies!!!  Pawsome!!!  We felt the love for sure!

Now, we were invited to Mom's best friends house. She had it all prettied up......!!!  For Christmas. The fireplace was going . Mom said that she'd rather I stay 'home' but not on Christmas since I am a well mannered pup with a horrible temper tantrum but then again, ho hum!  All in the day of a Yorkie!

To make a long story short:  they had an older Beagle there. We bonded.... and I sat at papi's feet  UNDER the table hoping that some scraps would fall!  Dang I was mad. None fell ... but then it beckoned.....in this lovely new house with a REAL CHRISTMAS TREE /aka Indoor Porta Potty....!!!  SO, I pretended to go out on the patio which was fine, but.....ahhhh.....the Porta potty on new carpeting, smelling so lovely, fresh and green ... it beckoned.  SO i accidently watered the tree with a mere squirt. Heck, don't trees need water. Mom picked me up immediately...... and carried me outside a/la Cesar milan.....but it was too late.  Plus, when she brought me in i pitched a temper tantrum......yet again...and...lucky mom that I didn't do 'Part 2' under the live Porta potty!  

Anyway, it was a lovely evening. Good food, company, a few scraps of turkey....and life is good. Stay tuned says mom for the photo of the gifts under the tree /hehe.!!!  I got something special.

Meanwhile, there is always New years. And Guess what!!!!  LAMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!! LAMB!!!! ........but it will be a quiet one as well it should be!! Thank Dogness.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Christmas Eve..... it is indeed a deafining silence. Everyone is tucked safely in their homes.....skin creatures and fur creatures.....well, at least most. Our hearts and thoughts move toward the skies...hoping that somehow  , somewhere, the endless mistreatment  and loneliness on the streets and in the puppy mills must be thought of . Never forgotten. And ended. There has to be ONE star, that reaches down, and protects these souls...there must be. In the meantime, we will look at our gifts, and enjoy the comfort of our beautiful hearth and homes....with good food. 
How can we stop the endless slaying of our babies......!  Let the New Year create more of a sensitivity and awareness to all of us....and most of all , pray , that there isn't a puppy in a box under the Christmas tree....that no one knows what to do with/ or will surrender because 'it was more than they expected.'

Let peace reign forever more...let it be a better year, and above all...Mom and I are going out now to stare at the star. That one special star.....we see it every year.
God Bless all my pup friends, pup pals..... !]]></content:encoded>

........ and the silence continues.... the silence roars, it is deafening.... because soon, we will go out together, and look up at our special star. The one that tapped mom on the shoulders, reaching from the heavens... a long time ago!  Now we look at it together. And she holds me close in love....and we say..."Thank you."]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The silence is happening. The mystery, the magic, the awe....... the Star in the sky!!!!  I look out, I sit. And I say a quiet prayer for all of my soul mates out there....with /without a home. BUT my little yorki mind can think no more, because then the pain starts....and Yorkies don't like pain.......what pup does. 
And so it begins. The magic. The unconditional love.......of magic in the skies.....where everyone looks up/ one night of the year. It really should be everynight.......everyday/ the on going unconditional love!

God Bless you all.....my dear Yorkie friends, here, there, everywhere. My new friends. And we say a silent prayer  ....... for those less fortunate.  Yes, the silence is so loud......

God Bless all pups..... all shelters....... and of course, God Bless America!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh joy oh joy!  Since I was a baby, mommy always held me in her arms when the trick or treaters would come by!  I always had a little costume. This year, I had a beautiful velour tshirt/with a pumpkin sequins on it.  BUT somehow I was out of it before Mom had a chance to take a picture. Anyway , the kids came by. OH I LOVE THOSE KIDS. They allllllll patted me on the head, and gave me a literal body massage. I love being held by just about anybody.....hehe...... and the kids with costumes didn't scare me because I am sort of used to the routine. OH all those thousands of fingers rubbing me.....ohhhh delicious....!;))

Mom and Papi gave them something in each bag..... I know that it is something that I am not supposed to have, but I enjoyed seeing the faces that came to my door. Old neighbors, new neighbors, and guess what: the first kids that met me when I was a baby, all grown up/ sort of. and i love those kids.....!:)) 
Mom was so proud of me. Moreso, that I did NOT try to escape out of the front door......!:)) I was a good boy. 

Today is November 1 now........... already..... getting ready for the big t'day and Mom's birthday!!!  
More feet will be coming to the house for sure, dropped turkey bits, you know the game.....hehe.........!:)

YAHOO!!!!  Mom said she has my Christmas gift in storage. Oh wowser bowser!!  TIS THE SEASON!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow a doggie transport. ...  was just asked if we could babysit a poodle / moving from Naples to Virigina....!  The g'ma doesn't want her, and the granddaughter wants her.... so....we connected. Our daughter, other than being an MD/ , does this on the side. SO, we told the nice lady in VA that we could hold the pup for one week.......!  She is 10 years old/ weighs over a little than 10 lbs...... and needs to get to her furrrever home. I am so lonely without my Lola...hope i can adjust to a poodle .....for a week, but mom has no worries. Always room for one more.....:))) Its the Naples to St. Augustine run that the lady has to take care of/ then she will pick her up here from Virginia.....!!!

This should be an exciting venture for all of us! :)) Will keep you posted. Huggles........]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ... and the leaves are turning colors.....what fun to splash in them, except that there are no leaves here. 
Only lizards in my back yard. And THAT is what I call Happy Hunting!!!  Wow!!!  Every morning I spend at least an hour on the hunt!  That is soooooo much fun. Better than in North Carolina where there are NO lizards. Just have to watch out for bear. The big ones that have parties in the dumpster at night! 
And so it goes..... and spring 'shall turn to fall, in just no time at all.' ( From the Broadway Musical-Pippin) ....!  One can feel it in the air here. Just a bit.  ... Today is my friends SKY's birthday!  She and I have been buddies for years now....:)) Happy Birfday Sky! She has all of her family coming over to celebrate!!!  Super!! Wish I were invited, but we live too far. Happy Birthday Sky from all of us here.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What  fast year. Well, since we are home from NC/ I can't tell you how puppy happy I AM. LIZARDS!!!!!!  Nice skinny lizards that slither down the throat easily! I play hide and go seek with them and SOMETIMES IF I am lucky, I really get one. Sometimes I bring the tiny ones in as pets and we play all day. mom has fits, but she'll get over it. I love my lizards, and am lonely without them. 

She wants to get me a beta fish..... (for a shelf), and it could keep me company, she said, but for now, no more yorkies, because she knows that I am equal to 10. BOL!]]></content:encoded>

SO, I stayed around mom for safety reasons. Her Newfoundland is so big that it almost tripped and fell on me , and then I would have met my maker sooner..... !  We had a nice day...actually both skin sisters had a birthday. It was a great day. Mommy is mad though because the groomer hurt me.... and i have been very uncomfortable.... !  In fact she is very angry. So she will speak to the groomer on Monday.  And so it goes..... life is ruff being a pup sometimes....cuz ya' can't say 'ouch'.!!!]]></content:encoded>

When I got to my furever home, as a tiny puppy, i picked up a piece of paper, that happened to be part of a CD jacket. It said 'Pippin", it was by the stereo....and mom knew, she said, that I was her Pippin! Always and forever.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, we weathered the Hurricanes in North Carolina, but the last one delayed our departure...so i was stuck a few more days. Mom said that we couldn't get gas. And guess who helped us! Minsters' Mom!!! She told us certain things that Mom needed to know about gas and was a wonderful help!

Anyway, they took pix of me sitting on pumpkins, mountains, and hey/ that camera has to go!  BOL!
It was nice and cool up there, except for the occasional 'bear' that made a nuisance of himself in the dumpster....and so it goes......! 

Today mom is going to see her skin daughter in Gainesville, and I get to stay home with the g'pa....he loves me so much. Am not in the mood for taking on her 12 dogs....that are rather unruly .....! And guess what, Maisies skin daughter has a birthday also and her mommy will be taking her out!! 

So today is special ....  and even moreso, September is almost over, and i used my pool only once!  What a drag. So here is hoping for a Happy FALL, into the interesting season!! yeah!!

Huggles to all of you great and small!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, not a nice day!  We are here in the mountains of North Carolina in our condo. Thank Dogness we are west..... !  Anyway, we are safe, but since we are so high up /altitude wise, I am very sleepy. So basically slept through all. Problem: Potty!  Mom put pads all over the place, ...... sheesh...... !  Another story there.
Lots of long rides looking around. It's been fun!!!

Now, we'll be going back to Florida mid-week. Mom hates it because it is always so hot/ and she loves the nice cool mountain air!  So do I. Lots of good smells...... neat things/ sounds/ ..... we love it!!

Can't believe that summer is about over. Just can't believe it. Soon we'll be doing our dogster Christmas thingies, and all neat holiday things.......!!!

WOW. And to think i used my pool only once...!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A  shaky for days for all of us!  We had that awful tropical storm Fay. What a mess and a menace. Mom felt so sorry for me being so housebound/ and no lizards around, that we went by the beach in the car and took some pictures. ...... that was before it got worse. Come to think of it/ mom will post a photo of our crazy ocean when she gets a chance. ANYWAY, it was blah. Mom said that I kept  my cool because I don't see them over-react!  SO, things are a little quieter now. 
Hope to spend more time on Dogster. After August 26, ....... :)))]]></content:encoded>

It has not been as 'bad' as the other summers, but we will be feeling the effects of the hurricane (Fay) the rest of the week.Today it is the calm before the storm!  Mom has my carry on packed just in case, and of course extra food. Luckily, i love my carry on. In case of extreme emergency, it looks like an overgrown pocketbook. And so it goes......!:)) We also pray for the pups south of us who will feel the rain big time, but know that all will be safe.....!!!]]></content:encoded>

Yup/ she puts me in a cart which is protecting me from unruly hoomans as well as buggies, and other such thingies that might go bump in the day!  SO, that is that. Now tonight it is thunder and lightening, so we stay home. It has been a bit crazy at the house, but so it goes....i enjoy it / cuz i get to do what i want. BOL!]]></content:encoded>

Less importantly, was the fact that i heard scraping on our garage door !   I started barking and barking.......and what do my wondering eyes should see, A KEE KAT TRYING TO GET INTO THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Of course I ran one way and Kee Kat ran the other way!  WOW!!! Bummer.......and a nerve at that!!!

Mom said that when she got into her car/ she saw tiny paw prints on the front window. We thinks that the kee kat was there for a while.......he's not my buddy for sure, but we know he wants to play!  

All in the life of a Yorkie....back to Babybear.......oh dear oh dear ! Mom cries a lot thinking of the Baby!]]></content:encoded>

We're about to fill my little pool as soon as mom can settle down a bit. So much going on here/ and she wants to make sure that the new 'stuff' in the background is settled in.....!
And so it goes. We are going on a one day cruise on Fathers Day, but helloooooooooo , i can't go. It's my Papi, and I can't go. Go figure. BUT, it's a short one.....!

IT looked at me tauntingly as if to say 'wanna play'......... no way!!!!!  A left paw hook would leave me blind and disabled!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOO....... I waited.... then I started to chase it.;...it turned.....made a LUNGE FOR ME........and I TOOK OFF knowing what the odds could be even if I am not a chicken... !!!!  THEN, i turned, glared again, in my stalk position, and IT RAN and jumped over the fence. Silly mom laughed. All it wanted to do was play said she.....Well, let it find another BIG BACKYARD.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ And the days fly by!!!  Mom decided to dedicate this page to those that gave their lives to our country....all wars....!
Mom thinks of her Dad, because he served in the Big WW2..../ and his untimely death..../...... ( not in the war though, but , as a result of the war)..... !  She cries cuz he never met me...... and yet, as each day goes by, lives are still being lost....what does one say! ?  Nothing I guess....except pray that ONE DAY all mankind can love one another....without bloodshed. And respect each others belief systems, and let well enough 'alone.'.... !!! God help us everyone. Mom says that as we play on Dogster, people are losing their homes... jobs........ and we have soo much to be thankful for!

ON a positive note:  Stinky Pete .... and his family, are coming to St. Augustine beach over the 4th weekend. Hopefully, we will have a meet up there.... if we are in town. They are coming from DeLand, Fl. He's a gorgeous Yorkie.....! So we hope this works out :)))

And my Lady Pal Sky , in Naples......well, we have to work on that too!  She is precious :)))) Gosh....so many pups, so little time. Huggles......LP!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was most interesting . After mothers day, and seeing lots of 'feet' around the house.....we went OUT today to a place called Amelia Island.... we had to put the car on the ship to get to the other side. Of course mom had me in my carry on, but when they blew the whistle of the ship/ i lost 6 pounds, ....and I already weigh seven!  BOL!!!! Go figure. Then we went to visit a ship .... Atlantis, that found the Titanic. Mom took pix. I was allowed on board, but guess what.... in the upper quarter / were TWO KEE KATS!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank Goodness for carry ons. I just about lost the last pound that i weighed between ferry whistles, ..... yikes. BUT, after the visit she and papi took me for ice cream!! The weather was lovely!  People fussed around me of course of which i am used to. The vessel , they said, was a research vessel..saw confusers.. weird things, but it was just good to get out!!! So ends another interesting day.....]]></content:encoded>

Mom says I need a lot of rest and liquids.....:)))  MY YARD has been filled with chemicals so , with my new harness and leash, I have to walked away .. because Mom is scared of the chemicals.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well,  Lola is here for the weekend. Am thrilled!!!  We always have a great time together, chasing each other around and playing silly games. NOW we are sacked out. Mom had to give Lola a bath, my turn to laugh at her, hehe, because Mom said that she was a 'dirty lil' girl BOL!!!!!!  She is resting now after a good chase and a run!!
The weather/warming up/will give us time to play in the pool pretty soon! Mom also bought me a new harness! One that is easy to slip on!  And so ends a weekend...but not without attending Laci Noelles and Kinko's wedding/ ......  I will be giving the bride away!!!  :))) Should be some feat. All so tastefully done..!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ho hum ho hum. Life a bummer. Yesterday my little back leg was so sore, that I couldn't touch the ground. Mom later finds out that I went in the car with Papi, was not properly placed in my carryon....and then LOLA got in the car, and I hopped like a rabbit all over the place .  Mom was mad.... !  I need to be restrained in the car, just like when she is with me....am restrained. BUT... // won't tell ya' the bad '''fight''. SO, Mom loved me up, gave me a baby aspirin, and cuddled me ....and moved the steps away from the big bed...because I always jump off. And that's a no no for a yorkie.....! I can't go down the steps, but can sure fly up the little steps and dive into the big bed. 
Today i feel better. Mom is not going to allow me to really jump that much anymore. PLUS, Aunt Lori sent me a new T shirt that says SPOILED ......hehe..... !   ( that is Chewbacca's Mom). Mom will take a picture :))
Huggles, snuggles, all in the day of the life of a yorkie!]]></content:encoded>

Mom is telling me all of these big bad wolf stories, and i don't know what she means, except that with her attitude, am a little shaken myself, and feel pretty badly!
It was nice though. A stroll. Without hoomans. Nice and cool, peaceful, even the kee kat gone somewhere....hehe.but.....Mom says that she still shudders when she thinks of what might have happened....

So, we both sat quietly in our carryons, hoping for a handout. Begging through the mesh , mom says. This is what we got:  a piece of banana, a piece of swiss cheese ( cheapo mom, ever so tiny) a piece of apple, ( i mean a crumb), el cheapo mom, and guess what the beverage of the day was:  half and half/ that comes in a little container for coffee. Gee.....am i full!  BOL!!! Now its pouring here in N. Florida, nice afternoon for a snooze! Mom is feeling so much better with her leg, .......... she cried this morning. :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bet Mom is typing while I am on my laptop wireless at the groomers.......sheesh!!!! BUT it will feel good to get my self in order for the Spring ..... dance coming up/wedding and all!  Mom said I'm a mess. ALSO, she let's me in the ja-cuzzzz-ie with her. I swim. THAT will be my next photo for sure/ the j and the grooming.....!  She said that my little paws just go to town, and i love to swim. If all works out, she will take a video of my swimming!
Such is life. Sort of Ruff now, with mom so under the 'weather.'...... 
They discovered that it is her back now/ and legs........and she is scared of becoming totally crippled, but I'll help her. That what us pups, big or small, always know how to do.....and for mom who used to be so physically fitness oriented....well..... just another day!  Meanwhile, my groomer is about to do my nails so I'll take a deep breath and give out a good hardy YELP even if I don't mean it. Yorkies have to do that to make sure people HEAR them...BOL!....and to remember, the earths axis spins around 'them.' SO a subtle reminder now and then never hurt a flea!

Couldn't eat before, couldn't eat now. Yuck!!! And tomorrow, to add insult to injury, I'll go to some groomer. She has crazy red hair, but mom said that she is good!!  It's at a Spa. BUT right now I want to live through today. She said that she might buy me a nice outfit for posing if I am a good boy!  Well, I learned this:  Be a good boy, get a new outfit, then a nip and a tuck on some unsuspecting victim will be the order of the day!!!
Sheesh. What a life. For tiny 7 lbs. of me.(Groan) .......back to sleep!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Spent a very quiet day indeed. In fact, I played with my buddy 'Tuba'.....and then watched Mom try to clean the ja-cu-zi. Scary, noisy big thing. She said that she has to soak her leg, and do special exercises. Tonight she said she hurts. BUT, she taught me one thing: when she calls Dad's name, I am to go and get him. I do. BUT mom has to remind Dad why I am there looking up at him! 
More good news. Stinky Pete emailed me, and said that they would be staying nearby this summer. We know just where it is.....so I'll have another pal to play with. THEN , Mom told Minsters mom, and she will probably join us all....!  This is the bestest news. A lovely quiet day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh WOW........I got me a new buddy! His name is TUBA. Since they call me Piccolo, we figured TUBA would be the right name for this little guy! Mom says that she will post it as my main picture later. Okay, to give you a hint: they put me in a shopping cart in mom's fav store. I saw 'TUBA" going by and actually reached out and grabbed it. So Dad said that I could have it!!!!!  Am I ever excited. SO, when they put TUBA in the car, of course I lost interest, but today, Mom is going to take some photos,and you will see Piccolo and Tuba, ..... I mean, if I can 'take on' Minster, Tuba will be a chinch!!! Can't wait. Ta'ta' till later! :))) BUT ( hint) when I reach out for Tuba, the little kid said that I could buy him, cuz, she wasn't going to buy him.. I just had to have him. And what I want.....I GET!!!! SO stay tuned for pix of TUBA.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, today begins another day called Life. I have to ponder as to what situation I can develop to remind people that it is 'all about me.' ..... Since Minster has left it has been a bit tooo quiet! Gee, and Mom is sulking that I don't jump into her lap like all 20 lbs of him did.... gee... see, I have to be gently lifted. BUT macho man ......wow. ... and Mom just brags about him. She brags so much that I gave him a healthy snarl as he left.... he didn't seem to mind though, cause with one lift of the paw, it would have been the power of his paw, not mine!  Am in deep thought. Mom will work p/t today.... I have to conjure up a drama. Maybe while she's gone...!  Cause see, she comes home and is happy to see me anyway, or maybe I can play in the hose today, ( when she gets home that is)! .... Enjoy your boring day all pups everywhere, and I don't mind if you tip all the garbage pails over. As in...what's a pup to do!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is really touched by the love and accolades for being Diary of the Day!!!  Meanwhile, while Mom works for me, thanking each and everyone of you, I am zonked out yesterday from my Fun Day with Minster!!!!!! I was so zonked / that I couldn't even greet her when she came home from Physical Therapy!  I mean, reckoning with Minster, guess i'll have to say, my hero, is no easy task!  YET, in spite of our size difference, he is the most gentlest, caring, understanding pup you'd ever want to meet . So much personality!! Just watching him brought tears to my Mom's eyes, and then of course, as his mom put it, I was the energizer bunny that just didn't stop! HAD to get at him somehow!  BOL!!!! Anyway, am going back to sleep!   OHHHH.... he's got the coolest car seat!!!  We'll not forget our day for a while!!!  Ok.....now to cop more zzzzzzz's ..... and dream of Minster the cool dude who captured our hearts:)))]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said that this Yorkie is a hunk!  He is ADORABLE!!! No wonder all the girl pups are in love with MINSTER!!!
PAWSOME!!!  Mom met them/ and we all went to the house. We had a wonderful breakfast, but, I wanted to play! I chased Minster around the yard, he chased me/ and we played and played. THEN, if that wasn't enough, we walked to the beach!  WOW, the tide was up, the waves huge, and we ( us guy pups) just ran on the beach. Of course Minster grabbed the shady spot under the steps that led to the ocean. I sat next to mom. He claimed his space. THEN he took off on a mission. Yup/ the hunk pup was on a mission to explore. Come to think of it/tiny me watching this agile body builder type of a pup.....I felt rather sissified. SO I 'parked' next to Mom and watch him race up and down the beach. No people there, because it is so private, / yet a few walkers looked good to Minster. He wanted to have a conversation, but they couldn't understand his language. Silly people. THEN walking along was a HUGE German Shepherd . Minster and I both wanted to 'chat' with him, but then, um, we both sat, and watched this hunk of a Shepherd walk by. Our moms said he was beautiful. The owner said he ( the Shepherd) was from Slovakia! Wow!!! The Shepherd sort of didn't want to have anything to do with us ...  so, he ignored us !
Minster got SOOOO tired from the ocean air, that he fell asleep with his ear in the water in his shade that he so claimed upon our arrival. ......... then home. THEN, we got in the van, and went to St. Georges St. We went to Lola's store, and Lola of course had a barking good time with Minster. THEN we walked, picked up a few yorkies to chat with, the street was full of yorkies today, ...... had some ice cream, and headed back . Of course Minster had to stick his head into every shop door that was open! Macho guy! All 20 lbs of him. I am only 7. He got lots of pets. Others didn't want to bend down that low to pet ME. ARGH!  In between HIS naps, I circled. I never rested. His mom said that I was like some energizer bunny rabbit whatever that is...... but hey, I was on duty! ...... and so was our pawsome day!!!!  His mommy brought us a toy, she gave it to us together , and we gave her a goody bag...!! :))  SO, pix will follow as soon as we get them sorted :)))
A day in the life of a yorkie.....and soooooooooooo many yorkies there were on St. Georges Street!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Something about the great trepidation that sort of 'happens', almost magical if you will, when knowing that you will meet another fellow Dogster Member. Mom said that her goal is to meet as many that will want to.....in short, am one nervous yorkie. I am going to meet MINSTER today. It's magic, it's almost cultish if you will, that one Dogster member is willing to make the trip, yet alone, meet the 'unknown'.... !  YET, we know each other!!!  From a cyber point of view.WOW!!!
So, this is the plan. We will meet in about 3 hours. THEN, we'll go from there. ... but the anticipation is a killer, Mom stuck me in the wash sink and scrubbed me till I hollared 'uncle'...... geeee..... but the great Minister is arriving and you can be sure that pix will be taken!!!! Okay , till later!!!  Wishing 'us' the best..!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it has been crazy busy around here. Mom has really no time for me at all..she has been in the kitchen with stuff all over the place. She says that she likes to 'bake.' ....... but I know it's not for me/ so i hang around hoping that SOMETHING will drop to the floor........but no dice. She's mean. OH, i take that bake. She gave me a piece of a sardine to pacify me. Yeah right  (sulk) ....sure, bait for fish, and I'm a yorkie , and what does she doe. sheesh! 
Anyway, her legs hurt worse now, she is sceered. and i am plain hungry!  BUT i was told through ancient folklore that she bakes a mean bread. Wonder what a mean bread is. ....... thought it was supposed to be 'nice'.
Oh well, another boring day for me. Skin family will come,i'll get ignored, they'll ruffle my feathers a bit to be nice.....but when or when, will the world truly wake up and realize that it is ALL about me. Lord Pippin! Hmm....maybe I'll see Ms. Abigale again. She's in trouble too....takes pens and pencils, hides them under the bed, tried to fight a snake already in coiled position......gee....she's some chick!  

Okay world...it's Easter Sunday, wake up and remember, its all about me. Lord PIpppin!!]]></content:encoded>

Well, yesterday her mom talked with me/ and said that Ms. Abigale was moving wheeling chairs around her office..... because she wanted the cookies that her mom had made. Problem is, the cookies weren't for her. So, the Mommy 'ignored' her, and went back to work. 10 minutes later, my dear friend Ms. Abigale, had wheeled a chair up to the counter and was getting ready to steal the cookies......!!!  Now she does have her own, BUT, she wanted the mommy's and daddy's cookies.  I'll have to have a talk with Ms. Abigale.....BOL!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I grew up!  I realize that it is not all about taking and being a spoiled yorkie. And since I rule this domain, it was pay time. Mom, as you know, has been virtually bed ridden with her leg. Somehow, she shifted the wrong way, or something like that, and called out for Dad. WELL, since this is MY domain, I know where everyone is at all times. Dad was outside changing the lightbulb ( maybe that is what mom means by her bulb being a bit dim lately)...and she yelled for him, thinking that he was in the house. I stood up, and said to mom "he's outside." THEN i ran to the door, and started scratching on the door to get his attention. He didn't hear my little yorkie paws.... ! I was determined to get dad. FINALLY, he came in. And i jumped all over him, and 'led' him to Mom. THEN, I jumped on top of mom.... and stayed there in case he tried to hurt her..... !!!  See, I did my good deed for the day!!!!  And I know Dad's first name too. He has many. BUT this one i knew. BOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ GEE, Mom has been 'sick' for too long now. Today i was totally on my own. Dad wasn't home......and mom fell asleep on the couch. I was roaming all over the house, totally neglected.  So, I decided to get cute. I jumped on the couch...and messed mom's hair, and did all sorts of funny things to get her attention!  She says her leg is bad, and all from a fall while ice skating whatever that is...... soft tissue damage... ? BUT, I wandered around, helped myself, and was such a good boy...Mom couldn't believe. I was sooooooo on my own!  She just huggled and loved me and gave me an extra sardine ( or piece of one) in my food.......and today is St. Pats Day..... she told me the Bunny will be on the way soon enough, and will ALSO have a surprise for me! :))) I wuv my mommy, and hate to see her this way, but i KNOWS she wuvs me/ and just cuddles and snuggles up to all seven pounds of me.
Happy Day!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today Mom dropped a gold earring on the floor. Now we all know that in Yorkie world, the floor is mine, and everything that drops to the floor is mine. Now Mom knows this. So she quietly , but frantically looked for it, because she was afraid that if I found it first, it would be a furr fight and scramble. Plus she was afraid that I would swallow, which i really would never do. BUT for some reason, Mom doesn't 'trust' me, and I haven't the slightest inclination as to 'why.' SO, she was on all fours, I was on my fours, and we both prowled my area. Everytime she scrapped her hand over MY FLOOR, i was "ON" her hand, pining the hand down so to speak. Well, we eventually had a 'furfight'......she had her hands on my property, and i went full force after her hands..........when it was all over and no bloodshed, she had found her earring. ....as if I cared. Who wants to swallow an earring anyway!  B-o-r-i-n-g.]]></content:encoded>

Hehe....and of course, she didn't think to look into the food pantry closet where i conveniently have been snacking on some German cookies that toppled over!!!  I snuck out but she caught me. SO, now my favorite door is closed and I am doomed forever. Darn good cookies too!!  See, am a sneaky lil' guy! Have to!  BUT, she was one step ahead of me today!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tomorrow mom must go again. she said that she didn't have the pix of the bones with her, but, oh well. She said more tests. She is scared, and wasn't in the best of humor. BUT she gave me my nice warm bath, and now I am sleeping on Dad's tummy!  We played outside a bit, I love to visit 'mailboxes' in the street. Good sniffles there. ... 
THEN i played with the Mini-dach next door. Nice and cool to just run and run. Mom cannot run, and she used to be a skater and runner.

However, the vet did tell mom that since she had the bad cough in November, she may have torn something, so she was relieved about that. Something called P/therapy that she might have to do. But I will post when we know everything. Meanwhile, I'm the little man of the house she says, and ohh.... I miss some of my dogster buddies so much....

Fortunately she can take her magic dog boxster to the hospital, cuz it works without wires there she says. Makes the vets nervous/ cuz she type and they do things.....and she says " wait, i have a dogster message coming in.'
She did that once also when she had the cough to Bandits mom. She pmailed Bandits mom from the emergency room, BOL....... dumb vet interrupted.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Already!  AND they had the nerve to run errands without me. Well, I have my bed in front of the door, and a peek in the glass, where I play my own "I SPY" ... Missy's favorite game. "I SPY with my little eye", and boy do i  see everything in the street . One thing that I see for sure, is my first mommy figure "Twiggy". A rotund Dachsund, she is my favoritist playtoy in the whole world. She thinks that she is my mommy, but i surrender, we wrestle a bit, and that's about it ... another exciting venture is my squirrel. I love my squirrel.....BUT....ahh.... they arrived home. What did they have for me!??? A bunch of paper bags!! What a nerve. ALL THAT GOOD STUFF and I get a lousy bag!??? Yikes.  Think I'll go and echo locate my imaginary friend ..who that may be tonight, remains to be seen. I do live on the ocean, so, this means, I can  echo locate a dolphin or something like that. Who knows. Mom did promise me longer walks when the weather changes a bit. When it gets tooooo warm, I have to walk way away from the water because some of the larger species shut off the radar, and beach themselves, and seven pounds of me ...oh welll......]]></content:encoded>

Guess I'll wander over and peek in Skys closet, she has some neat things, even though she is away for the week.....!
Have to pay a call on Ms. Abigale....... / so near yet so far...but this weekend will go check on Lola cuz she lives a mile away. I could run there. BUT Mom keeps a tight leash, BOL! ( or so she thinks)!  Not much else, except that Minster and his mom might come to visit us at our house. Can you believe that . Dogster visitors up close and personal. We will run the beach! Yeah!!! Can't wait to be Minster.!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, the dreaded day has arrived in the life and loves of Lord Pippin!  Lola's Mom will pick her up/ and I'll probably see her over the weekend!:)) We all met at the French cafe for Cappuchino and chat, of course they insist that we stay in our bags and hope for a handout! Mmm...white turkey, but no croissant. THAT would be for the mommies. And so Lola is anxiously looking at the main door, waiting for her Mom. The coast is clear, her daddy is in a 'day care' for the elderly, and can come home at night. This means Lola will be snuggled with her Daddy whom we know she loves so much...and he adores her. SO, all will work out!:)) She'll be back. She says Mom cooks a mean lamb. mmmmm..........! Mom also told me to grow up and time to settle down!:)) Nope. She can say it, but I'll always remain the little boy from Yorkieland running free in the wild green grass, and settling for only the best in good food, love, and my freedom! :))]]></content:encoded>

I know I will miss her, but such is life.  Today Mom and I played around and pretended we were in Ireland. It was nice. ... saw Ms. Livee in her pretty green dress:))  ....  and in general had a lazy day . Tomorrow mom returns to work.... ! And so it goes in the life of a yorkie.  Nothing really exciting to report. I thank all of my sweet buddies with keeping up with us and our  'story' of Lola.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are trying to make Lola as comfortable as possible....we spoke with the mother last night, ( will post some pictures) , and even Pippin has been sweet and gentle with this hurting little girl! 
We need to put our paws together for Lola and her family! The ravages of Alzheimers and what it can do to a family are really something else!!  BUT for now, she is cleaned up, well fed, and a little depressed. Now if Pippin will let her sleep/ which he usually does/ ........she'll be fine!!!  She's only 4.  We love her so much!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ AN EMERGENCY TODAY:  Remember yesterday I told you about Lola!? WELL, her Mom phoned us today, and apparently they had to 'baker act' the father, and left her in the shop alone! We raced over there, and she was trembling, wearing her new shirt that Madison made for her, but a little soiled. She seemed even thinner than 2 days ago, so.....Mommy gave her a bath, made a warm meal of chicken and rice, and now she and Pippin are sleeping so sweetly together. Alzheimers is a ravaging disease, and it hit this little family ( the Papi) too fast... 
SO, for a few days, until they can get their lives in order, Lola will be a part of this family! She loves it here.....! Mom noticed that she is emotionally drained, hungry, and just exhausted. It took a toll on her as well!!! !]]></content:encoded>

Mom is going to phone breeder Chris / and see 'what is going to happen.' Maybe, just maybe, my new brother and I can be together!  That would be soooo pawsome . To have a tiny baby bro!

To make me feel better, mommy bought me my own fire hydrant. It's perfect for me... and you put the garden hose to a fixture, and i can jump and play in the water safely spraying from a hydrant. MY VERY OWN!  Mom will post a picture when she can..!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today we went to see Lola and her Mommy at the shop!  We gave her the new shirt that Madison kindly provided for her, but Mommy cried again. Lola's Papi is very sick. Something called all-zheim-ers. Anyway, they couldn't find him for a while and he had taken sweet Lola. He was lost and confused, and when Mommy held Lola in her arms, Lola was very badly shaken!  She hung on to my mommy like a baby monkey!  Whoever said that us pups don't have feelings. Hmph! Anyway, mommy offered to take Lola to the house for a while, but her mommy said not yet.....but our door is open, and she is a good sport. BUT ALL OF US would have cried, if we saw poor Lola shiver and shake in Mommy's arms. Too sad. Ahh, we are so loved.]]></content:encoded>

My Daddy Rodger is 16, and Mommy is 8 . And she might be pregnant from my fur daddy!!!!  The breeder is waiting to see, because this would be the last line.....( in this lineage) ..... !!!  My Daddy is so blind, and just looks into the sun, seeing nothing. He brushes his little body  against the wall, to sort of guide him although Mom said that his senses are much more alert...SO, Mom said, THAT IF it is the case, and IF she is pregnant ( not a false pregnancy) , then maybe i'll have a new baby brother or sister!!!!  Oh yes!!!!  We will see......
Meanwhile,I will post a few dedicational photos of my fur folks on my page!!!!  My skin mommy cried. Of course she always cries..... !  And i KNOW that my furmommy  recognized me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was a wonderful loving Valentines Day!  Super!  So many pawsome cards, gifts, and so forth! Now, all is normal again, and so we begin our Quest towards St. Patricks Day. It's quiet here, just like it was four years ago, quiet and peaceful! And I think with a tear in my eye, of all of those that are less fortunate. ...... we have to focus more on the homeless pups....they have no voice !  And so begins my 5th year..... sort of scary. BUT on Sunday, we are going to my breeders to see my Daddy Rodger, in the nursing home. All of the yorks that she doesn't 'use' anymore, she had built, for them, a special room, climate controlled, comfort, and I need to see my furdaddy!  My furmommy is supposed to be there also... !!!  I can't wait!  A trip to Sarasota is fun also!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it was early on a Saturday, says mom, that she and Dad left for Sarasota Florida . A good four hour drive. She had my 'Moses' basket, a blankie, and 'whatever.' Mom was nervous. She was so afraid that Daddy wouldn't like me being that we were first time Yorkie owners. ANYWAY, we got to the house. It had signs all over "YORKIE CROSSING". BIG YELLOW signs, says Mom. And we drove in . Chris, my 'mom', had us all lined up in a special box, but she pointed to the one that she had reserve for me. There I was. The tiniest. The runt. I looked up and saw all these very nervous hyper type hoomans. Scared me to death. Then she saw Mom and Dad laugh as the 'stud' ( my Dad, named Rodger, strutted around. He was quite the stud. Strutting his stuff. That's my 'dad'.) ANYWAY, I saw my soon to be mom disappear. At least for a little while. She had some trans- actions to make with Chris, not to mention a 'set of instructions' on diet, shots, and so forth!  I was surrounded by my furblings, 6 , to be exact. We were rolling and playing but then I sort of moved away, because I sensed in my pindrop heart that I would not be with them much longer. My Mommy ( Patty)  was hovering around us.... !  We just had a great old time playing. THEN it happened. Someone other than my hooman birth mom, picked me up so gently!  I could sense that she was scared to death!  I weighed 1/4 of a pound. She held me close to her chest. .... and from that point on, we were so joined. SO VERY joined.  We got into the van. Gee, wish she would 'chill'. All was well. SO, she put me in my Moses basket, and in a matter of seconds I was OUT, hopping all over the place. Heck, I was no baby!!  No way!! My ears were taped 'apart'...and I settled on Mom's lap. NO basket for me. You ought to see the chicks driving by waving and oohing at me.....!!! Whooo hooo!!!!  It was fun! FINALLY, we got home. It was dark. And when Mom brought me into the house through our garage entrance, we both felt something special. I was home. It was quiet and dark. And TO THIS DAY, when she carries me through that doorway, I have a flashback / we both do/ of that February 14, 2004, when I came to my furrever home. We didn't have crates, and all that junk!  She had a soft little bed by her bed, but I slept close to her chest for a few weeks, and was like any other dog!! Mom said that i was smart...!  Like she has to tell me. Dad had surprised mom with the beautiful bed for me, but i rarely used it. Cuddled next to mommy was the sweetest thing in the world. And Mom said I smelled soooooooooooooo sweet. My teeth so tiny, and oh, the love that I felt...wow!!! Mom said that I made these little purring sounds when i slept. And more often than not, she and Daddy would just look at me sleep!!  They doted on me... and that love never ended, nor will those ties ever be severed. ...  but we ARE love, And that is what a Yorkie is all about. Pure unconditional love. ( of course other pups as well). They wanted to name me valentino...until I found the CD Jacket paper 'Pippin', the musical that mom directed,  and picked it up in my tiny teeth and dropped it at her feet. She jumped with joy, and said yes..."PIPPIN" it is!!!!  And as I gracefully age, she has me as Pippin the first.. because, there will always be a Pippin in our lives. Always and forever!!!! Amen.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, after 2 years of checking the Macbox, Mom tells me this:  she phoned this lady in Sarasota Florida, a good 4 hour drive. She said that they spoke on the telephone. Mom had a little basket with a blanket and some water. She said since I would be coming home in a basket, she would name me Moses.. Anyway, the plans were made. Chris said that she had a pup / a runt/ .....  so she made arrangements to leave on the Saturday, February 14, with Dad.She had wanted a Christmas pup, and told everyone that she was getting her Christmas Yorkie after all...well, I was born Dec. 21. I think. Again, plans were made, a little bed purchased, some fresh new warm blankets, and my moses basket. It was a Saturday, the 14th. Valentines Day! Four years ago!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, fortunately the camera still isn't here. BUT we did go to the Grand Opening of the Wellness Salon!!!  Now when I say pawsome and first class, to include Doggie sushi, i mean first class.  Dad had jumbo shrimp.....but you ought to have seen the cuties there!!! whoooeeeee!!! ( Sorry lady Dogster pals) .....!  Some wore dresses.... saw a bunch of yorks. I did embarrass mom though.....they were giving free nail cuts among a ton of other free things, and i yelped and squealed and attacked the scissors......she said i was a maniac and giving her high blood pressure. !  Saw poms, a gorgeous shepherd, just name it/ we saw it. There was even a fashion show. Of course duh mom forgot to sign me up.  Then when they did the drum roll, i knew it was time to split. Slipped right out of my collar. Dum drum rolls. And so ends a PURRFURRREctly wonderful day. (mom saw a big furbaby try tos snatch a roll of the turkey platter, and it succeeded. Lucky dog)!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh well..Mommy is foaming at the mouth again. Actually, it's good news. Her camera won't be returned until Tuesday...and the good news is of course, I can be au natural, and not have to pose, prance. BUT tomorrow is my live PAWDEE at the Spa...and I do wish that I had a special date to take. Maybe Lola can go. Everyone else lives too far away!  My groomer will live there and my new vet will be down the road. SO this is NOT good, but maybe good for Mom , but definitely not good for me. They will serve all goodies. Wish i could share. We love to share. We are going to try and help Mads' business by drumming up some stuff says Mom in this tourist area.
Will let you know, stayed tuned to Y-o-r-k-i.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW, am I ever getting the mail!!!  WOW!!!!  The post lady is confused. Mom says better that then seeing the person called 'bill.' BUT an onslaught. She is convinced that they will 'come after us in these white coats'. Especially this post office which she calls anal whatever that might mean. They usually use that word with regard to me , so the post office and i must have something in common!  Hmm...have to think that through. Yet, with the attention span of algae , it can be rather difficult at times. ANYWAY, stayed tuned for my coming home story on February 14, 2004. That is when it all began. :)  Got invited to a pardee. Mom said it is at the new grooming salon, grand opening, and she knows some of the people. They will have food, doggy food, prizes, a bit of a fashion show, and dogs that do tricks. ....  as well as dogs to be adopted, and the vet that mom says she will be changing over to. And so it goes. AHHH such a life. They have limo service to pick us up to take us to the spa. Mom won't let me cause she says I'll be all over the driver , BOL!  MOI!???? NON!!!! So far her camera which was dropped has not been returned... now this is what you call a blessing. She wanted it for Saturday....hehe....!!!  Gotcha' Mom!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hm. Lola is a snoot. They came by to visit us today, and I yacked my head off trying to get Ms. Lola la dee da to speak and play with me. Nope. She held her little head up/ with a pretty white bow in her hair, sniffed at me with all the disdain in the world that she could muster, and walked away!  Now she has the nerve to claim MY SPOT in the bedroom!  She has sissy white bows all over, and last week when it was cooler, a sweater with a white fur collar. Sheesh!  Maybe it's cuz I run around nekked with my Bad to the Bone collar....!  BUT she continues to put her little nose in the air, and in spite of my incessant yaking, she walks away!  Stuck up little yorkie lady pup! She used to be so much fun!  We would run in the fields together. NOW.....she is all grown up says Mom and i have to treat her like a lady. Yeah sure. I got the message. SO i'll go hang out in the other bedroom. So there. All for now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh gee......Mom is communicating with a KEE-KAT!!!!!! I mean, the very bain of my existence that drives me 10 ' in the air!! And she is sending messages back and forth to the KEE. Now, I don't mind this, not at all, as long as it stays in her MacBox.  You know, the little tiny white box with a chunk of apple bitten out. I didn't do that though ...I go for the real thing. Anyway, she said that the KEE is named "Something or other".....? ....am not sure. She said that it is the most adorable sweetie, and that I have to get used to it. SO, for the time being, as long as it stays in the MacBox. And not jump out. All will be well. !  What's a pup to do!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The last few days Mom took me into a place called My-am-ee Florida. OH it was fun! SO MUCH TO SEE. Mom was a trainwreck for some reason, but I thought that it was nice. I hopped all over our SUV like a bunny rabbit, and when we saw those coffee stands, I hopped more, but Mom said no. That's all I would need was the little taste of cafe con leche. (Bounce bounce bounce)!!!!! We saw some friends. Stayed there, but they had a dog what didn't know the meaning of the word 'quiet'. We had to leave. ... he stuck his face in my dog carrier but that's okay. We
just looked around, Dad had some business to do, and that was a trip! Sat next to the biggest pool ever!  Mom said no. I wanted in. It was coolish, but no go. .. glad to be home now. Mom is chilling out a bit!:))]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh what a day!!!!!! We met Lola at the French cafe today/ to try and convince her mom to sell / or at least put a sample of Mads work in her store here. But she couldn't because Mom says that her husband is very ill:((... so, there was Lola, all decked out in a  little white coat with a fur collar. She looked ravishing. SOOOOO, to make a long diary short, we all got in the SUV to go back to the shop after a cozy lunch!  WELL, of all the nerve, Lola who thinks she is a queen beeeeee jumped on Dad's lap/ so I flew into a purple yorkie rage, and jump right up into Dads lap also.....and there was a hugh dog fight on Dad's lap / right amidst the narrow streets of St. Augustine. Lola wanted nothing to do with me..... and boy she let me know it!!!  So now more love scorned, and am recuperating nicely on the big bed, comfy, pampered, spoiled, wearing my shirt that Mads made for me, and to heck with Lola. BUT she had a little white bow in her hair and that white fur coat. She looked beautiful!! Mom said so too. 

Mom wanted her to join Dogster, but her mom speaks very little English. I told her Lola spoke well enough for all of us, but no go ( sigh)!...... Stuck up little thing. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........]]></content:encoded>

So mom wants to make a tribute page for me. Roses. A special secret in our family, as to how Roses are the symbol of love, the unconditional love that only we have to offer. It's been good. And Dogster has made it better!!  So , we look forward to yet another pawsome year on Dogster!  And the enhancement of good friends. This has to be a softer, kinder, gentler year. God Bless you all!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, almost 2008. ..Today Mom took me to see Lola / we met at the French cafe and had some good stuff to eat. It is always so good to see her and her Mom!  BUT, her Mom said to my mom" Lola bit a lady in the leg this morning, but if you saw the lady you would have bit her too."  Mom just cracked up laughing!!!  It really wasn't funny, and Lola was rather sheepish in the restaurant this morning......cause she knows that Mom is her Godmother and doesn't tolerate her silly stuff.  In fact she crawled to mom this morning in a most apologetic manner. .. not that she had to, but that is my sweet, silly Lola!!  xxxxxxxx to sweet Lola. And Happy New Year to all of my beautiful lady friends on Dogster!!! Ohhhweeee......there are many!  They love me in my tux. hehe.......!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Can't believe that we waited this long to write, but it has been a crazy season with tons of feet all over the house. I, the feisty Lord Pippin sort of collapsed, too tired to even finish opening gifts. So Mom said that i could wait till Christmas day. it was wonderful to say the least. Mom said that there was more under the tree for me than for her. BOL!! True too!  One lucky dog. SO, we are doing a clean sweep of the older toys, and taking them to our local shelter.... our hearts ache when we go there, but Mom says that it is something that needs to be done.  SO, many of our dogs that almost 'lost it' during the holidays, are going to be fine. Thank Dogness. And now, we hope and pray for a super better New Year.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As mom always said, nothing horrible should happen around the holidays, more specifically Christmas.Especially with us creatures great and small.  Well, even in Dogster, we are all having nightmares of what happened to Tico/ not to mention my bestest friend Lola.
Yup. She dug under her fence and simply took off. (Her picture is on my home page)! They saw her hanging around Dunkin' Donuts ( where her pawrents go for coffee now and then. THEN she was seen at Corteses' , where her parents eat dinner ( now and then) . THEN she was seen trying to cross the super highway!!! My mom and I just about fainted when her mom called us frantically!  Some kind soul who happened to be a yorkie owner, picked her up and brought her home. Thanks to proper ID around her neck, they phoned her mom. See, the Papi is suffering from Alzheimers and thought that his wife had her. And Vice Versa. This is too sad. The yorkie owner who found her said that the mommy must be going crazy, so she phoned her right away!  When we went to see her, she look like a train wreck. Her flowing hair was matted , and awful! We just felt terrible and pray that this doesn't happen again!  Mom told her mom that if she cannot take care of Lola properly, then we will help her. This cannot happen again!  We are watching. We love Lola. Her mom cannot belong to Dogster because she is Hispanic and cannot write in English. SO, that is the happy ending to what could have been a sad story!  NOW , the sad story of TICO must end happily!!!  This has to end. We are watching our little one ever so carefully!
Huggles to all, and to 'all a good night'.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, last night was the big night!  Mom took me for my Street Walk on St. George St. and the Park in Old City Saint Augustine, Florida! OH WHAT FUN!!!!!!  Last year they let me ride in the horse and buggy carriage, but this year, no...only for the hoomans. BUT it was crowded packed. I played around, ran into every store, tried to pick up ciggy buts, moma screaming, but it was a great evening. She finally zipped me up in my bag. .. problem is, since i was a pup, a mere wittle pup, i went for the cig buts, / so maybe she doesn't know that i am highly addicted to nicotine, ....although we don't smoke at all, never did never will ( us Yorks don't smoke.....heck)!!!  ANYWAY, to make a long evening short, we ate outside/ a la fresco, in a restaurant....then as i walked, people did the usual "OH ain't he cute routine. Makes me wanna' barf'....THEN they have the audacity to ask my name. Like they care!? Geeze...so mommy tells them a different name every time, cuz it don't make no difference. BOL BOL!!!!!! The street was so packed that mom had to put me in my carrier...might get stepped on said she, but i think it was to keep me away from those nico-stubs that not even a patch whatever that is , will help.....but, she thinks i outgrew it. Nawww..she exaggerating. We had a good evening. Steaming warm. I hate it. Mom not to happy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, the porta-potty is holding its own. Mom is busy, and I am exhausted from supervising. I don't think that I dare go near it though, because so many boxes are arriving, and they are for ME!!!  SO, I'd best play it smart and stay away!!!  NOW, today, back to the home front. ... I ventured out, and there IT was , staring at me, from my neighbors yard. Only this time, it didn't giggle. Must have gotten word that I was writing about it. Anyway, it arched its back, and I stood on all two front legs balancing on the rose garden plank. I stood upright, and was going to take this furry monster to task. BUT I think that I got too close. It hissed louder, and I'll be dang, I lost my courage, and 'IT" backed away as I tore up the driveway, mom laughing, 100 mph!  That's fast in Yorkie speed!
Then she had to go out again, but I feigned exhaust, and plopped in my little guard bed by the front door. Alas, I had no interest in doing battle with something on my property!  This may be a never ending snarl quartet.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, it has. This morning Mom and Iwent to the Mailbox to send out more Dogster Cards and something called BILLS.  Now i don't have a notion as to who "BILL" is, but when she says his name she isn't very nice about it. Or so it would seem. BUT, back to the main TERROR of the day!  My home, my mailbox, remember, I do own, rule, and possess, well, a long furry arm reached out from the bushes to grab my leg. Well, my quick witted self, now a half wit with shock, but....IT reached for me. And rolled on its furry back and  laughed as I flew 1000 feet into the air. ARGH!!!!  Mommy laughed again, oh she'll pay. We know this. In fact, she went out and gave it a MORSEL of my BONE (biscuit) . THE NERVE!!!!  Reinforcing my killer!  Encouraging 'it'.???  
Okay, well, we like our stroll to the mailbox, so this time, we went through the garage to the driveway, with the invisible BILL arm in arm, and THERE IT WAS . IT HAS TAKEN POSSESSION!!!  MY DRIVEWAY!!! I FLEW again, and IT rolled on its furry back and laughed at me. Mommy did too!!!  I tore open the skidway and flew like a flash, and the front door was locked. SO gentle mommy to the rescue, picked me up, and we went back through the garage. She picked me up and put me down in the garage. I FLEW through the door!!!!  If it wasn't already opened, i would have boinked my head. SO WE HAVE NOW a problem of colossal proportion! My home has been taken over. At least the exterior. AND IT ROLLS AROUND AND LAUGHS AT ME!!!  WHAT a nerve. I would say  , a colossal nerve. IT does have a home. 
NOW the skin sister from you know where that also tried to terrorize me with her charming CD, has a rescue one she says, and it meows with a LISP. now that i have no problem with. Because it's in HER place. BUT this one that meows with NO LISP , and roars like a lion, well, that is another story!  IT MIGHT BE POSSESSED!  Yeah!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay. Payback time!  My skin-sister came over for a visit!  She had a CD that she made especially for me!!  I was all excited. She popped it in our stereo center and what do you think it was !????? My own skin sister!?  Doing this to me!????  IS WAS  a CHORUS OF KEE-KATS SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  NOW, after my last experience with them, um, was I supposed to dance with yuletide glee!??? I don't think so..... but they howled away ALL CHRISTMAS SONGS. Now Mom bought me one "Bark the Herald Angels Sing", and that I can tolerate. BUT THE KEE-KATS, as if they had ganged up on me!????? ..... The plot thickens. And I WILL hold my 'they'll rue the day!" ..... ( Yorkie giggle) !!!  And so it goes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Now we all know that there are many other creatures great and small on this late great planet earth!  YET, there is one that mystifies me to no end. Have never had an encounter with what Mom calls a  "kee-kat". I've heard of them. We have one around the house who likes to sit on top of the car. BUT, today it finally happened. The most horrific moment of my entire life. This kee-kat , must have weighed 1000 lbs, decided to chase me up my own sidewalk to my main door. Now....I never ran so fast in all of my little life. Mom is laughing as she types this, but it's not funny!  This horrific beast chased ME, LORD PIPPIN? UP MY OWN WALKWAY!???  No way!!!  Stealth as a bomber, it tore after my little fur self,  and I cried, I screamed, Mom laughed. They will both rue the day!!! Sniff. At least i have my dignity intact!! Mom says that Yorkies don't curse. But we get even. One way....or another.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The MONSTER IS UP!  Yup! My skinsister and Mom were whispering. They went into the garage and dragged this HUGE green thing in. OHHH...my own porta potty!???  Hmm.....sure smells good, ANYWAY, they put it up/ and the noises just scared me under the bed. Or into my own little bed. Too much to handle for a little guy like me. I mean a big boy like me. Anyway, they usually combine my Christmas and Burfday gifts 'cuz i was born around that time. Anyway, maybe that giant green thing is my gift. A porta-potty!!! On the other hand, if i do try to use it, she may use the name for which it was intended. (gulp)!  She put a nice soft pretty 'skirt' ( she calls it) .....around the base, but i call it something else. Nice and soft. A plush porta-potty!!! Charmin' maybe!?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH what a glorious Thanksgiving we had on my skinsisters 5 acres!!!  We ran, she has 11 dogs.... ponds, and just wonderful fun!  Got to chase my first chicken. Mom wasn't too happy!  And i salivated tooooo freely at the sight of ferrets...eeks..mom was 'mad'....so / we let that go for a while. THEN we drove into OCALA Florida to see Ms. Abigale June and her MOM and Dad!!! THAT was pawsome!!!  We sat a la fresco and they all chatted. Meanwhile i was giving ms. Abigale June the eye. She had the neatest red sweater...!!!  She is my pretty childhood sweetheart!!!  SO, we are back home in St. Augustine today!  It was pawsome...!!!  Best Thanksgiving that we all ever had in my skin sisters new place, and all the pawsome land....!!!  I growled at the goat with horns.... but he ignored me. Tried a growl on the horse, he just looked. My bestest friend is licory! She is as gentle as a lamb. She loves me. She is part Pit and part whatever, said mom. But she is tender and loving!!!  And we bonded. I love Licory! She is sooooooo black!!!  Special hugs, to all and to all a good night!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, that day is almost upon us!! NOW this is what I will be facing:  one skin sister, (and her husband) , 4 tiny bassets, 7 hound dogs, 2 kee kats, 4 pygmy goats, and a horse .. oh.....and a partridge in / oh well.... Now I am used to this. I do get along with them I really do. And they are really sweet to me..... but we sort of respect each other. The skin sister has 2 ponds on her property, and all of 'them' , ( not her for sure) love to stand in the pond dog ankle deep in mud,  but mommy doesn't let me go in there.  SO, in two days, we'll be in the car on the way. I really can't wait!!  And it will be T'day, and all of us will be waiting with baited breath to see if it passes the taste test. ....  I will, in the meantime, catch up on some rest, and get meself ready!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had mentioned earlier, dear Ladies and Gents, that Ms. Lola was at the house while her mother was away! 
One day, while Mom was cooking our boiled lamb, she went to rest a bit. She claims the two of us make her a little crazier than she already iz? Well, suddenly, Ms. Lola , typical southern gal, starting barking up a storm! Mom just wanted to rest. Lola continue to BARK!  FINALLY, mom heard a hissing sound. It was our stove. It had all boiled over, and was burning on the bottom as well as the kettle!!!  LOLA figured it out. What mom can't figure is why I, LORD PIPPIN couldn't figure it out!!! She said that it was a guy thing, and that  maternal matriarchs tend to be more protective than us guys. Humph!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I have really been brought up to be the quite proper British Lad!  Good schools, food, more food, and all that! SO, being the Lord Pippin that I am, I must be 'composed' at all time. You know, top hat and all!  Cane. Fob. Tux. The works. YET, my friend next door did say, that I should be named Marteeeen ( Not Martin) Marteen, and work for the Local Post Office. He said that I should ride a bike, and go from door to door in my delivery cap and deliver the mail!  My short yorkie legs would hardly carry me for certain, but , he said that if I were a Hooman, that would be my plot in life . Not bad. For sure. 

Lola's mom phoned and wanted us to meet for lunch tomorrow. Depends on my mood. Might have to take a rain check ...too much to do! :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh did we ever have fun!  We both chased and raced around the house. Our obsession was this one hugh bone that we would take turns stealing from each other. Too funny!  A delightful little yorkie says mom. We've known each other since the age of 8 months/she is one month younger than me. BUT she is really a ratter. Yorkies, says Mom were bred for ratting....killing rats, and her mom told my mom that she killed a couple .....but we can't imagine that. She is so pretty, gorgeous, and 'silky' like.....!  Mom felt badly when she left. We both cried. And I slept that night on the spot where she slept. I think a yorkie can feel True Love. I know I did:))]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Am still recovering from Sunday!  Mom wanted to take me for my walk on St. Georges Street here, just to feel the cool air. Well, I happened to find my pawsome bone, and stayed in my carrying case and wouldn't move. FINALLY, after she was carting ME in the bag/ chewing on this pawsome thing/ ..... she said i had to walk!! SO , she made me walk, and what do my wandering eyes should see:  another yorkie. We almost had a fight in the middle of the court yard. She got into my space, and we were growling and hissing at each other. Ya' know, the famous yorkie growl!!!  THEN, we walk down the street and there was another Yorkie with a pink pleated starched dress on.....  but since she was older than me/ i let her alone. She was so prissy and groomed. Mom ooed and aahhed ad nauseum at that pink girlie thingie , thought i would wretch the remnants of the bone.....!  Argh! So, we kept walking and went into the favorite pet shop. Guess that let  the pets in, but i'm not a pet. I'm ME, THE LORD PIPPIN, and I am no ones pet or property! I just OWN THINGS. To include people. Anyway, she offered me a treat to my already bulging guts, and i had to eat out of her hands. EWWWW....!!!  BUT I took a piece so as not to offend her..... We started the long walk back, my bone confiscated, my comfort zone destroyed which put me in a worse mood, and there comes that same dang Yorkie again!  This time, i was ready for her. Not the pink one, but the mean one. She took another lunge at me and Mom said " a night in prison for me if i caused any more commotion in the main street ".... (sure, headlines, crazed woman tries to break up Yorkie terrorist fight in the middle of St.George st. ).....they would print it too...... !  So now its monday, and I'll get up when I want to. So there.]]></content:encoded>

Five days. Am comatose now with exhaust. BUT what a five days it was. THEN those kids came to the door dressed funny! I recognize one set of kids.They used to be my neighbors and mom said that they were my first exposure to 'kids'. Now grown up!  I knew them!!! Wow!!!

Mom was proud of me because we all walked together as a 'pack' , and even though my 7 sevens wasn't quite on the par with the horse or the big coon hounds, I held my own!  OFF LEASH! Gosh, she was proud of me for being such a big boy!!!  I slept well that night for sure. My skinsister has 5 acres of land near Gainesville, Florida, ....  so we all did a lot of walking. BUT I held my own. One ornery goat kept sniffing after me/ he couldn't figure out what or who i was, but we got along.
Today was rainy though, and of course we got a flat tire....! but again, but said that i was a little prince in spite of everything. Gee, I know that.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Welcome October. I embrace the fall, the beauty of it all....and Mom is happiest in the fall. Just returned from another trip to North Carolina. Mom says we have to get our condo there set for the skiers....!  I love it there. The leaves were all colors, and so much fun to run through. Mom says that I was a good boy traveling. On the tv up there she was always watching Cesar Milan!!  He is pawsome. And when Mom sees some of the naughty pups that he deals with, she paints a halo over my head. Today, we are just resting. Saw lots of Pumkins up there. Pumkins everywhere. And guess what: they are so kind to us pups up there!!!  We even found a little rest stop where pups could go in , we could sit, have coffee....and just relax in front of a pot bellied stove. Meanwhile, mom worked on her book as well..... and i just stared out of the window. Saw another yorkie playing...it was soooo cool up there that Mom took my sweaters. Then on our last day, it was hot! ...  so back in the car in my travel bag....!  And we're home now. Love my home.:))) Love my castle!:)))]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I didn't, but my Mom did. She phoned Ms. Abigales Mom and they clucked about something or other. I could hear Ms. Abigale barking in the background but her sister Sabrina was very quiet!  We are planning on going to visit them when we return from our next trip to North Carolina. That will be for one week only starting this Saturday. Hope we'll have some nice photos to share. ANOTHER DOGSTER that Mom clucked with was Shadow Handsome Mans Mom. She is cancer FREEE... and she said that the two Yorkies helped her. I believe her. We have tremendous healing powers of the paw. SO, that is two Dogster FOLKS today!!!  Mom loves her Dogster friends.]]></content:encoded>

We didn't know that they sold the business, and a new groomer is on board. BOY, was she furious. In fact, when we got home, and I finally got my breakfast, because the groomer was 2 hours late, Mom had to trim my 'beard'!  SO now its off to find YET ANOTHER groomer. Grrrrrr....!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gee, yesterday was my skin sisters birthday party!  We had a houseful! BUT Mommy said that I behaved like a possessed Gremlin!  She was furious at me. Usually , I loves lots of feet, people, kisses, but i growled at everyone that came near me....!  They were surprised!??  THEN I pulled the coup of coups. Moms' newly redecorated bathroom. I left a pretty yellow stain on the white new rug. Am a generous soul! THEN, in our formal dining room, while everyone was eating, I was at my finest hour. I finished. A nice brown nasty!!! And I AM housetrained. ...says mommy with a red face apologizing to the guests who usually love me. She couldn't figure it all out. When my twin mini dach friends arrived, I was okay for a while. I bit one in the chunky butt, but she didn't care. she likes me. In short, it was a lovely day!  (ha)! says Mom. She is still 'mad' at me....so i put on the pathetic look but that still didn't work!  She took my video off right away. Mom says I am always so good at parties, and just love people. BUT yesterday was different.  Don't know what every got into me. Well as she says every dog has their day, but i don't think that she will let me forget this one. Next time says she: crated in my pup tent. She's about had it! Have a nice Sunday.My mommy won't. LP!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is Saturday! I have mommy all to myself. I miss my vacation time, but guess what !  All of my ole' friends are back!!!  Bandit just came back....and Ms. Abigale and I are chatting up a storm again, and the list is longer. We also talk to Auntie El once in a while ( Shadow Handsome Man's Mom)!  They are all doing well. Auntie El is through with her Chemo but the weather was so hot in New Jersey that she was too weak to make it to the computer. We can't wait until she gets back on line. Ms Muffin is also feeling better thank goodness. She has had a rough season but she and I are ole' Buds. She's a nice friend. A real storm trooper. Then Livee...! Another sweetie.
 We are trying to plan another week though to back to North Carolina to see the trees changing color. ....  I like it there. My friend Angel is doing okay as well. As is Livee, and Bambi, and my other Bambino.......!  I have to find Bitsy and then will life be complete. And life goes on. Some good days, some bad, some happy some sad. Mom still lets me play with the hose, but that's about it / weather too weird. ..........
I am worried about Mandy's Dad. He is under the care of Hospice. Life can be so sad.  But people like my Auntie Barb ( Bandits Mom) make it super brought. And CJ, Muffins mom is also a trooper. We can see where Muffin gets it from. And life goes on..... heading toward another season.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ And so the season brings with it a somber sadness. My mommy told me what happened. She put our pictures up, on our page, because she was out of the country when that terrible day happened. She said she was taking a Foreign Service Exam in Zagreb Croatia....and then she saw on the TV over 'there' that something had happened. She thought that it was a science fiction movie...it was tooo strange. And she didn't do well on her exam, having been there for 30 days already ( in Croatia)!  She said that this wasn't supposed to happen on our soil. But it did. 
Mom said that she received all kinds of emails saying to stay 'put' because 'our' country wasn't safe. She has her stories. It sounded strange. This was before 'my' little Yorkie time. She remembers the tanks escorting her plane out of Germany, and all sorts of things. SO , the sad music to honor and respect......what had happened on that awful day!  A day we will never forget.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well here it is September already! Today we went to my skin-sisters to celebrate her birthday. As time goes on , her sausage dogs ( louie and mia)  and I play together . We know each other better, and I just have so many cousins !  
I loves it when there are so many people around. Friday night, Mom's 'adopted' daughter ( a family friend but mom loves her like a daughter) Auntie Sarah stopped by!  I just love people. I love my familiar pup cousins, and I love my home. Mom is  thinking of us going to N. Carolina for a week again, to see the pretty colors. It is only 8 hours from our house. 
I am putting my paws together for my dogster buddy Angel, who lives in the Outer Banks ( OBX) .  They are supposed to be hit by a hurricane tonight, so we are praying that it will pass them by!  Mom told her to come down with Angel, and stay with us a bit, but she wants to stay by her property. Understandably so!
September. Beautiful September. I have another skin sister who has a birthday on Sept. 20......so we'll have more people over. The more the merrier. Me loves people.!!

News from Dogster friend Angel: they escaped the Hurricane! Mom offered for them to come down here, but one never knows living here as well on the ocean.

We also have our Paws together big time for Sweetie Pie!!!!!  A precious yorkie......!!!  She is in an oxygen tent now....!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Did we ever travel!  Mom packed me up, and off we went to see Grandma' in New York State, between Syracuse and Albany!  We went into the Adirondack mountains...was supposed to visit a Dogster friend in Otter lake but couldn't make it so she pitched a fit and carried on to her mommy. Oh gee..what's a pup supposed to do!! 

Then we visit tons of relatives, and of course I was loved by all. ( snarl)!  My new game called Freak the Folks was such that I would exit the back patio of g'mas property, watch everybody freak, and show up on the front porch and just sit patiently and wait. It was fun! 

Stayed in some hotels....nice ones. Pup friendly. Mom carried my pads in case ( blush) . ...... THEN we went to our condo in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.....wow......... air is thin . Bear. All things screaming in the night, but I protected everyone. Now, after a night in the Red Woof, in Savannah, Ga, I am back home. And so enters the Golden type years .... and the Glory of being back on Beloved Dogster to share all the seasons of love, thankfulness, faith, and a good home and friends. And we pray for Muffin, for all the sweeties out there, we pray that Bandit has a safe trip...... and most of all....for our good health, being home, and once again: Dogster!]]></content:encoded>

Then I stared at this thing with a head 40 x    bigger than my little yorkie head. It was called horse. The teeth ......  well, i wasn't about to even pretend that I was a dobie when that thing wobbled over to me. Mom says he's gorgeous. I say: he's my worse nightmare.  I could take on her dogs, the big ones even...hey, what is a hop in my hideaway safety bag......!  Well, we did have to leave before dark since we live a bit away.  BUT i love her house. I can sit as though i own it and see everything but the best thing is looking out the window! Am still confoosed about those pig - me - goats.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, Mom bought my skin sister a new suitcase. She filled it with stuff for her new home in the country. Now the story begins. While packing the suitcase, i sat in it because i am a traveler and know what that means. .so she had to pack stuff around me. THEN , we were greeted by 11 dogs. Um... I was not prepared for such a warm welcome. So i took a high dive into my carry on that mom always 'carries' me in for safety purposes, and when din din was served and the suitcase of gifts for my skin sister was emptied, I promptly crawled into that!!!  Was not prepared to me my maker yet. Mom held me, and felt a warm nuzzle on her lap.....it was a little female pit who was as gentle as can be. Mom nor i will never forget that sweetness that mama' pit showed. Adorable. BUT then we do have the terrier blood in us....( hehe) ...... !!!  Then it rained dogs and dogs, and no fireworks, thank dogness, and a good time was had by all. BUT i'll never forget that sweet mama ' pit. She wuved me. We would have become fast friends if she was the 'only' one.......!!  Always good to get home. Whew!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We couldn't believe it. Mom took me to the French Cafe yesterday!  Yup......they allow me in there. Anyway, when we were through, we visited the owner of another shop in St. Augustine. This would be Lola's Mom. SO, Lola was sitting on the ironing board ( her mom makes clothes) , and my mom sat in the rocking chair. This woman walked in the store......and she had a HUGE POCKETBOOK!!!  INSIDE of this HUGE pocketbook were 4 yorkies!!!!!!! One was pregnant even...whatever that means ..... But they were ALL so tiny! Mom said too skinny , but after my blimpy body everything looks skinny!  They all had huge bows on their heads....pretty lacy collars, and then there were all six of us lounging around the shop!   TOO FUNNY! We had that take over look......and when someone came in to look around all six of us barked!  We are all soooooooooo adorable.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I almost lost my little life. Evil Papi doesn't believe in car seats. Good mommy invested a lot in a big bucket car seat for me. The car door 'opened' ( wasn't locked properly) and i rolled out under the wheel. Am okay...just more scared at Mommy screaming. I froze......evil papi froze....and mom scooped me up! Lesson of the day: PLEASE use car seats. I could have been killed!!! USE CAR SEATS ......please!!! Mom is so shaken......!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I was regroomed. Mom took me back, and now I am spiffy!  Gotta' live up to my free spirited chick magnet personality!  My allergies did get the best of me though, so the DVM next to the groomer had to put me on antibiotics. Ugh!  SO, to all you outsiders who love to play, make sure your mom washes the allergens off your coat...especially us little ones.......!  Very cloudy today. Doesn't look like a pool day for certain. Drat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A Bad GROOMING!!! Mommy took me in for my summer butch haircut! New groomer. I came out looking the same way that I went in!!! Now Mom is fit to be tied. We did try a new salon near the world golf village in St. Augustine. "They " had breakfast at the beautiful Renaissance hotel...!!  While I suffered.  Then Mom picks me up....and was so shocked, that she quietly paid, and left!!!  But at least I got to go home earlier. So difficult to find a good groomer. One of them took a thing to my neck, those buzzy things.....and shaved 'into' my neck. OUCH. The next day, Mom noticed it, and felt it strange that the groomer would call to see how I was. It was a mobile groomer. I think Mom has to learn to do this herself!!!!  OH I CAN SEE THIS!!!!!!!  I'd be a PUNK ROCKER YORKER. BOL!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, one day without Dogster is torture. Who can live without the love of the majority, the kindness, the care, and all the good things that go along with being a member of Dogster. SO, here we are. We just needed to breathe...and are happy that Dogster was so welcoming when we returned to the community!  Just toooooooooo many fine people here!  Mommy wanted to share also that she spoke with Auntie El ( Shadow Handsome Mans mom) on the phone to check in on her. She is doing so super, and sounds wonderful!  She has 5 more weeks of chemo to go! So that in an of itself is good news. In the background I could hear Shadow. THEN I barked into the phone and Auntie El growled at me. That sort of shut me me ( BOL)!!!!  We love her and can't wait until she comes back to Dogster.
When you all get a chance try and find Bitsy the CHI, who just came back from an African Safari! BOY did she see some 'pets'....... furbabies? .... wow!!!!!!  .......... Meanwhile we have to vote for Sky our Yorkie who is lagging behind! Also thanks to super Megan Reese for being so generous in her samples. Don't forget to visit her page. 
And Congrats to Bandit's Mom who is doing a pawsome job with Photoshop/ her flags, stars, stripes, forever!!!
I just met a new pup friend. He /they/ live in Palatka Florida, only 45 min . from me..... Mom and I willl go out to visit them some day!!! And so are the days of Dogster. Always exciting....and God Bless Dogster!!!  So good to be back even if only for ONE day off....!:)))  Special love, cudos, to Misty, Sarge, and Rocky!!! YAHOO!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is not normally a quitter, but today highlights a decision making day for mom. Eventually she'll be 60.... and feels that this type of bickering, snotty back talk in a forum discussion about my food, is something she can no longer tolerate. So she will write to dogster, and consider leaving the group. Now i said consider. this is not an attention getting 'thing' she said, far from it. ...Mom has other issues as well.....But she has been going to bed crying more often than not, and is crying now as she types. I am by her side. She also feels that Dogster should change its motto: For RESPONSIBLE dog owners ONLY. Not do silly things, careless wreckless things, which yes we are all prone to do at times, but things that are 'stupid', conniving, and simply not right. Think of all the dog birthdays and calls for help because of the intense amount of focus placed in irresponsible PEOPLE, not one person, but PEOPLE in general who come crying to Dogster. Think of precious winston struggling for his life, think of a lot of these 'issues' that are very real and maybe the responsible owners such as wintons mom could need all the encouragment in the world  for all that she has done.  THINK of Miss Dixie Monroe and all that her Mom has responsibly done....wow! Think of all those mom's who post, and are in dire straits, but do everything to keep their baby(s) healthy and happy!. And all of this so obscured by the irresponsible which we shall always have on this late great planet earth!!! And so be it. All creatures great and small!  God Bless you, and maybe a few days off to clear my head which is maybe all we need. Huggles, Seven lbs. of Lord pippin who only asked a question; and Mom Jan.....who loves you with a passion!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ohhhweee....betweeen Ms. Dixie B'day party, ( pawsome food) , and Mia's, and my Daddys' ....... we had a wild weekend! 5 dogs were in the house to include me. My skinsister has 2 bassets, my other skin sister has two mini-dachs......and me. We chased each other all around the house. One mini dach was so fat she could barely move so i bit a chunk out of her butt / boy was she mad!!!  She finally turned to nip at me and I skittered the Yorkie Skitter that NO one can catch!!! hehe.....!!!  Lots of food, snacks, a walk on the ocean....I just love the feet passing by!
Mommy also printed out some photos of my deceased fur cousin Yogi, made by Gabby's mom!!!  Pawsome! We presented them to my skin sister at Dad's birthday! It made her cry! Rascal also made a Redsox 'card' for my skin brotherinlaw, he cried, and Connie sent a photo as well of Yogi at the Rainbow gate. Such beautiful creations for a beautiful creation! We ate a lot, shopped, i swam in my tiny pool ( see video clip....) ohhhh what fun!!! So much love all around.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes. The Call. My furbrother went to the Bridge. He was a mighty red mississippi coon hound dog. His face is on my page in memory!  He was 14. Mom cried terribly, but his Mom.....is unconsolable! He had battled cancer ( lung), and within a few months, gone. Just like that. Someone said something about him under a bridge. I saw him a week before, and I could sense that something wasn't right. SO,  that is that. He used to come and visit me in fact he used to come when we had real raccoons bothering us. He found every one and chased it away!  My big furbrother used to sit me by his big boney knee ( HE HAD HUGE FEET) and tell me allllllllll kinds of stories. Wow did he have his story to tell!!! My skinsister found him wandering around 14 years ago, and tried to find a home for him because she was in medical school. BUT, .....she came home one night and there he was, on her bed sleeping. So he found his furever home. Right with her. We love our Yogi.....!  Please see his photo on our page. BUT such is a dogs life...!!!
She did everything in the world for my furbrother........!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Life has been good!!!  Thanks to my buddy Bandit and his new red car. We decided to take a road tour of the country.....he drives like a maniac/ needs glasses/ but in any event....... check our pages to see the FUN all rolled into ONE. We picked up Frode , then Gin Gin who is definately a good sport...... and just hung out together. 
Then, upon a return for a short stay at home, Bandit bought me a red white and blue scarf which I will be posing in up and coming current photos.

My friend Lola ( posted on my page) also stayed with my Mom and pops for a week! We also had a good time playing around ...  No I don't mean Lola Duff..but she also accepted my pal invite. Was I surprised. 

So many loverly friends on Dogster. Boggles the mind. 
On Mothers Day we went to Amelia Island and visited the Ritz. Mom takes me everywhere. She sneaks me in her carryon/ but just as we leave, I mean this is a GIVEN, i have to yap out a loud RUFF!!!  Just to make my presence known and to make mom walk a little faster..... hehe........!

Other than that, not much else is happening. Am drinking more water, exercising more.....and will increase this even moreso when mom stops teaching for a while. Special huggles!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woof. Woof to all!!!  Mom said that she won't 'feel ' better until she gets me to the white coats and my liquid part of my body tested....!  Yet I race around...and with all the food scare, am actually on a better diet. I hope. We all hope and we all pray that our Dogster family can survive this horrible thing that is going on in our Dogster/ other/communities. We still can't get over the fact that something like this: in our wildest dreams could ever happen... !
And so it goes. .... 

Let's put our paws together and let the great Dog/GOD of woofdom get after these people.
So far, I am on just the holistic natural balance ( sweet potatoes and fish) ..... and boiled veggies for added flavor.
Stay cool dudes.....and hey...... Bandit and I are getting a new car compliments of Bandits mom so that we can tool around together and pick up chicks since we are the Great Chick Magnets!!!! Whoooo hooooodles!!!!!
Hugs to all , the last day of April!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Close call!!  Too much protein in my urine. "they" said that I am not drinking enough!!! So Mom is now cutting back on all protein. The boiled chicken was NOT NECESSARY on my already rich dry food. I will still have my boiled veggies, my Natural Balance with Fish and Sweet Potato.....soaked in water to make a gravy . IT WORKED!!!!!!  I ate it all last night and this morning!  

To my surprise, I walked like crazy, was drinking like crazy last night and this morning...and mom said that I was literally a duracell battery! SO NOW we have the problem solved. I will go back to the people in the white coats in a month.....and we will see !  They said something like renal/ but not failure. Mommy was like a crazy lady! SO what else is new. The solution:  my dry food only , moistened, my veggies, more exercise and a lot of water.

I am fine now. I will be fine/ and we will work at being fine!!!! Hugs to all for your concern, love and support!]]></content:encoded>

Unreal. ...........  overinnoculatons........oh the list goes on.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH help me someone....now she has discovered the fact that her digital camera does videos/short clips/ in addition to still shots. Oh mercy mercy mercy!  I barely gave her the time of day, but she snagged me anyway! Sort of. It was an evil trick!  My toys were the bait!  I lunged at my toys while granpapi was getting ready to leave cause i wanted to go with him. Toys became second. My outing became first. Just to appease her I looked somewhat 
interested.....but.....just to appease her. !  She drives me daft!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it's almost Easter. It will be a quiet one thank goodness. No feet. In fact mom is so cool that she checked out an Easter Buffet where I am allowed. It is outdoors of course. You know the damage us corrupt little creatures can very well do!  So she promised to leave me in my carry on. But I AM going!!!  

She said that tomorrow she has to run to a story!  Something about a bunny basket for me or something like that... she makes me crazy!!!!  I'm such a good boy!  She makes me SooooOO INSANE. But i know that she loves me.
in fact, to get a couple extra hours of snooze, i have to bury myself in the bed so no one can see me....!  Anyway, i will be fine, not to worry! Had myself groomed....but we'll not speak of that unmentionable subject!  In fact, when mom took me shopping today, she saw that all the women were raggedy looking and the dogs looked better than her and than them...hahaha.... they all got the message. We Rule!!!!!  Hoppy Easter.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YIKES WHAT A DAY!  FIRST Mischief turned into a Penguin, then a Chi Dog got all purple with the Troll stuff, then I got a Rosette that said "LOOK UNDER YOUR BED"... (freaked Mommy out)!!!!

THEN, to pacify my badly shaken nerves, I was to meet Lola and her Mom at the French Cafe that allows us fur folks to associate. WELL....... as we were waiting, the lady sitting across from my Mom, had a nice purse. ...BUT...APRIL FOOLS... inside of that purse was a 3 lb. CHI DOG!!!  Mom went goooocy gooooo and brought me over!!!  Well, that CHI turned into a 'beast dog,', tried to surgically arrange my face, Lola took off, the Chi dog having done its job, went back to sleep while we were darting for our little lives in all directions. Lola headed for the door, Mom on the other hand, got me back......cause when I know there is food around i don't go too far for fear of missing a tid bit.....well.....the owner came out, and all was well with the world.  So much for the most beautiful colored sweet looking CHI dog!  Actually, I'm glad Mom got the brunt of it/ because she was making too much of a fuss over them anyway!  Was afraid she would get one , and NO one gets a substitute for TOP DOG LORD PIPPIN!!!!!!! What a day!!!!Yikes. Even the birthday party didn't help that we attended after ...... I wanted to go home!!! Slept like a dog. spelled DAWG!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well...it finally happened. Ms. Abigale June visited me!!!  Woe is me, is she stuck up!  I was pretty aloof myself!  Us Yorkies know that we are the best, and if we want to socialize, we will. If NOT, we won't. It is our choice as you can well see. Mom is taking the liberty to put a few photos up of both of us. I was really terrified and confused at one point when we went to visit Lola and her Mom. Now get this, ME, THE LORD PIPPIN , in between TWO snooty females!? What's a guy to do!  ?     Am baffled . BUT, I love them both of course. But to everyone reading this out there be aware: we are our OWN DOG, and as Auntie El once put it: this is OUR WORLD ( where Yorkies RULE) and you aren't welcome in it. In short, we call the shots, we snob the snobs, we do as we please!  BUT I will say that it was ever so nice for Ms. Abigale to make the trip!  Her parents are super!!! And maybe just MAYBE when we meet again, we'll socialize ever so gracefully. If not, tufffff!!!  Our choice!!!!!!  And that's our Saturday!!! The last day of March, 2007.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This has to be the most difficult thing to have ever ever read. To take a 3 year old baby, ( My pippin is 3) , and have her spayed, and then....... A sort of rage wells up within me. A fury! ( I used to have a shepherd) . After reading all of the posts BEFORE she went to the vet, and then all of a sudden:... this is just too unreal. I can only imagine what her parents are going through!  All that I can say, with life is sadness, but I can also say... there are no words to express the pain that they must be going through. And dear mommy of Dutchess...you must not feel guilty!  You cannot!!! Even the Humane Society of the United States was calling a 'spay' day. Now, if you knew that something was 'wrong'...then, of course you wouldn't have hurt your baby!!!!  No way. Please don't be guilty!  You did what you felt was right!!!  While teaching this morning, I read your Forum entry, and sat at my desk with tears running down my face. This is unreal. OHHHH... I would report that vet. I would go public . Put an article in the newspaper!!!!!!!!  Get facts, then publish.That is what i would do!!! GO PUBLIC!!!
Special hugs, prayers, peace , and thoughts are headed in your direction!  Much love, Lord Pippin and all of us at home...and at the Bridge.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It started out as a swell day!  The weather was luscious, and the mom and dad put me in the van and off we went . First stop was PETCO. I got toothpaste, and some food, and a few free samples!  Of course I would have to run into some silly mongoose of a dog and he just wanted to talk!  You know that feeling when you want to shop and run, and then you bump into someone that has to tell you their life history!? Well, this dog didn't hush a bit.  

We checked out, mom paid the bill of course cause i left my wallet at home. And off we went to the outdoor Seafood Fest. I was promptly asked to leave. In my mommy's arms, all seven pounds of me....and it was an outdoor event! mom was furious! The biggest sign that she ever saw : NO PETS ALLOWED!!!!  Well, of course that could be understandable...!!  BUT....needles to say ...it didn't set well with us, so we packed our tent, and stole away into the depth of the night.  BUMMER!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 3 plus years ago this very day, as my mommy and papi tell me, they set out in the SUV with a little basket and blanket to the breeders in Sarasota Florida. 3 hours away! 

Mom had done an extensive web search for 2 years, wanting a Yorkie soooooooooooo badly!  Well, we found the place in Sarasota. And Chris, this awesome breeder, handed us the pup. 1/4 pound. Now, unknown to me, she had made a deal with the breeder that after one week i could go back if we felt that it was a non compatible mix. Mom had always dealt with doberman!

We gave Chris a hug, put the baby in the basket, .... Mom said she wanted to name me Moses. Then she said that Valentino would be a good name........ anyway...i wasn't going to settle in the basket. That lasted 2 minutes. I was in mommy's lap, in the SUV, my ears tape up, 8 weeks old.......and very much a solid mind of my own!

Mom did not 'really' coddle me/ but when we went visiting, she let me 'run around'.....i had no leash, nothing.......so.............on towards St. Augustine. 

it was dark ..... and i always remember to this day, mommy holding me so close to her chest, wrapped in a blanket......and I remember her putting me on HER big bed/ and we cuddled together!!!  .......... after 1001 phone calls to Chris... and now three years later, i am the star of the famly! Mom has severe anxiety issues when I am not around. But papi takes good care of me.

Mom said that i was her gift of LOVE. Pure UNCONDITIONAL love on Valentines day!!!

God bless you all......i am here, i found dogster, and better yet.....am a fit healthy loving pup!!!  They adore me :)))]]></content:encoded>

Yesterday, when Mommy was hurting so bad, i curled up in a tiny ball, and let her put her poor head 'on' and against my warm little body!  She said that she felt sooooo good ....and that i felt sooo warm.........! I knew my Mommy was hurting. 

So we'll spend a quiet day..../ Feb. 14,2007 in our home together, and just give thanks that i survived some pretty ruff years in my new home. See, Mom is used to dealing with dobes......but now she has melted into a big puddle cause of me.......! Mommy is so greatful for me!!  But we'll miss Abigale but decided to have it another time. That will be fine. Her mommy was very very sick!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Before I came to my forever home on Feb. 14, 3 years ago, my breeder called me 'ito'....which was short/ Spanish name for "little one".

However, when Mom named me Pippin, (that story is in my Diary) ....it just fit so well.

PIPPIN, was the illegitimate son of Charlemagne. He was not recognized, but was the out cast of the family. He was also a 'lost soul' in that he couldn't 'find' his corner of the sky!  .... he didn't fit in.

Hence, Pippin was adopted much later in life by other so called 'stars', but little do they know:  the name Pippin found its way from the Emporer Charlemagne, his times, and his illegitimate son:  Pippin.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Almost almost. Can't wait. I get to see Missy Abigale June, her mommy and Daddy!  We will have a fun day!  ...to celebrate my homecoming!  

Meanwhile, I have been a little under the weather. Not feeling myself. Very itchy, which they found to be allergies so i had to take an antibiotic for a while. Mom is a little worried, but she worries too much about me. 

She is taking a break from teaching so that is good for me. I have her home and to myself .  

It's cold here. So have to wear these weird looking pieces of clothing. The  minute mommy puts a jacket on me i sit thinking that i have to pose for that silly camera. Someone needs to take that gadget away from my mommy!  

Okay, but when Feb. 14 rolls around, am sure she'll show NO MERCY whatsoever!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom tried to capture the plaque of my late brother Jake. Mom still cries. I never really met Jake. In fact, Mom was on the search for 'me' as a companion to Jake. BUT, before she found me... our Jake was gone. A long tragic tail, but the big C got him ....He was a Hurricane Andrew Survivor found wandering the streets and picked up by Dobie rescue. Mom went right up to get him after they nursed him to some health, but then she took over. He was so greatful, and he died with dignity after 12 years of bringing us great joy!  

Mom tells me stories about  my brothers Jake and his brother before that, Yogi. Great dobies. 

Our precious Jake was a 'wobbler'.... he would have horrible head spasms, but Mom would comfort him  and it would go away. Dobie rescue wanted to take him back but Mom said NO. She would deal with it...!  And she did!

Dedicated to my great brother Jake, who went through much, and lived a long life!!! Techincally, Feb. 18 2002 he passed on to the bridge. And I entered mom's life Feb 14, 2004. 
Signed, 
Pippin]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In addition to my travels in Europe, I thought that i would add this addendum to help any of you who might be interested in going to Britain!  I checked this through very carefully, because i thought Pippin and I would be going to Yorkshire ( i wonder why)!

I will try to make this as clear as possible :   When you decide you want to go/ 6 MONTHS before your actual travel date, you must take your baby to the vet. They will draw a serum from him and send it to the University of Nebraska. The Vet will send the papers there with a sample of this serum. From the date the serum is drawn/ you are considered free to travel to BRITAIN AFTER  SIX MONTHS of that date. NOTE that i said SIX MONTHS!!!!!!!! 

Then to avoid quarantine, you must fly on a certain airline ( British ... Virgin for example) .... and you walk off the plane with your pup. BUT the papers must be dated properly. So in a sense you are HOME for the 6 months rather than the costly quarantine in GB.  From that point on / you are free to go back and forth as long as the Rabies shots are up to date and so forth!

But that serum test must be done. THIS was the information that i received in 2005. ...and am sure it's the same now.... !  But we won't be going anywhere for a while/ except maybe Italy this summer. We'll see. One day at a time :))  Hope that this was of help and is clear. 

Again,for the European Community you only need updated records of shots, his health Certificate from the dept. of Agriculture, and the microchip!  That is it. 

Ciao all!!!]]></content:encoded>

Us Yorkies need to be constantly stimulated mentally!  ...  so Mom promised me a good day tomorrow. She's been cleaning.. / but i need a break as well.

Am in a very bad mood today!  Stayed in my little bed and whiled away the hours. They call it the after Christmas blues i guess!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, the New Year. And i am 3 years old now.  Life is stable, calm, and we have a lot of good things wracked up for this year. And from this point i will keep the Diary regular and try to omit the verbosity and lingo that bores the heck out of anyone , to include this ever so proper Yorkshire Terrior. 

Now, if Mom would quit yelling at the TV SET!

Today, she set up my pup tent and put my little bed in it. ... my safe place. Because now when bigger dogs come to visit more often .....I can be zipped up in there if need be. 

Am not feeling the best tonight. Yesterday we went into Georgia on a day trip/ and i ate some junk food /samples at the pet store. SO i think i'm a little shall we say...... 'hurting' in the rear area.......? That happens. Plus my patella gets a little weird when the weather does. .... we have to watch the weight issues also . ...that directly affects a soft tissue injury which i had. ...

Later on in the month or before the 14th  of february when i visit my breeder ..... I have to have a complete blood workup and the usual!  

So we are cozy, happy, even though i peed through my new sweater..... s'okay. Life is gooooooooood as jim carey would say! GoooooooooD!!!! And Christmas was really GOOOOOOOOOD........ My dogster buddy Ginger sent my the most awesome blanket as well some treats and a toy!  I LOVE the blanket that she sent. You can see her with all of her badges. She is soooooooooooo pretty!!!! 

Lola my yorkie buddy will also visit me for 2 weeks. Her mom is going to Europe..and Lola and i knew each other since puppyhood. Her mom owns a little shop in St. Augustine here, and i go and chase Lola around the store or vice versa, but it is one store they allow me in. Mom often watches Lola so that i can have some company and realize that i am a Yorkie. 

OH...and last but not least, I was in the Petsfest Contest in December and won! ( my photo won that is) in Orlando Florida. We had fun going there... and showing my beautiful self off...hehe.....!  

......and that's all he wrote :)) . At least for Today , Wednesday, January  10, 2007.  CIAO!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ RATHER uneventful year. Feet still wandering about my domain. But that is life. We took our daily trips, Pops and i , and Mom would be teaching. She would smuggle me anywhere and everywhere because she happens to suffer severe anxiety when she is apart from me. 

We did do something silly! One day in mid July 2006, Papi was overseas visiting family, we got into the car and drove up to Charleston South Carolina. Just mommy and me. OHHH did we have fun! And ohhh did she cry!  The heat was so intense this summer that she spent one night after traveling 150 miles North of Florida / and came back home the next day!  Mom often said the  devil cooks his oven in SC / so it felt good just to return home. Nice and a/c'd in our lovely home .. life was good once again. Never saw Mom cry so much!  Heat and Mom do not a pleasant combination make.........

Other than that/ it was work for Mom / .... we rested a lot in the a/c ... and in all my dog years i never remember such a heat. She bought me a little pool....( we used to have a big one in Miami) ....... and filled it with water. Even though we live on the ocean she hesitates taking me there because of all the good smells &  yucky stuff that I would enjoy injesting..... / plus it was TOOOOOOO hot! 

The fall, not much better.....!  SO, nothing planned so far this year..but she is thinking taking me to Italy!  We'll see. We have to visit some people in Miami as well, and just go one day at a time.....!

And then came Dogster. The greatest thing that ever happened in the Fall. Mom just went crazy over Dogster, oohing and ahhing over the photos, giving bones and Rosettes like a woman possessed. ... so that fills her life when she isn't sub teaching. ... and i am a handful as well! haha..... !]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I saw my grandma' , cousins, we drove. I was sort of nasty in the car though. Maybe it was the heat.... but to see everyone ... some couldn't believe my size. 

Frankly speaking i wasn't 'welcome' into one home, so mom bought me a zip up pup tent where i had to stay 'caged' .....only to be let out. It was awful!  But then the owners of that uggy house were awful too!  Who did they think they were. Mom will not return there because i am not invited. And i never ever did a thing. Never a mess..nothing. Uggy people. 

Went through Cooperstown NY in Mom's handbag. That was fun!  Some places though just stared us down, so we weren't invited in. Not like in Europe......!

So .. is the life of little Lord Pippin. Learning that people can be the cruelest creatures on all of this earth. Mom often said that if God created us all, how could mankind be so uncivil, and we of the Kingdom of the 'wild' be so Civil....!

Life is good. Life is very good. And i hope to share more of my adventures as time goes on.....!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, life went on ... baths, vets, grooming, loving, going for long rides in the SUV, hot summers by the ocean, and visiting friends in Miami. Feet, always feet...!  People visiting MY home because it is on the ocean... !  And a lovely one at that. I have free run and reign. But i am always at my best when there are feet in the house. I watch and i study...and sometimes someone will pet me... but feet can be fascinating. One little girl in Croatia was wearing those HUGE slippers that looked like bear claws. I attacked her feet under the table ....  everyone thought that it was funny! 

Feet and More Feet!  ...... languages i'd never heard .... and spurts of calm ... after Mommy started her teaching. I enjoyed my papi and our rides in the SUV.....and life is good. Very good. 

Music / more music from Mamma's grand piano..... Fabulous awesome Christmas trees, holidays with my skin sisters........ and just a family of love!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, you can very well imagine the exhaust we felt, driving from Munich to Croatia, through the Alps, and finally our bungalow in Croatia. I fell asleep on top of Mom's face practically, and to this day she swears that we dreamed the same identical dream!  We were that tired and jet lagged that we hooked into each others brain cells and dreamed of the skeleton of this perfectly shaped gold fish! 

It was a shiny goldfish. ...  pure gold, with gems for eye. One could only see the rib cage. The dream floated  back and forth between the two of us allll night!  

The next 3 weeks were filled with adventure. I went into a fishing boat, climbed some mountains, and as i celebrate this venture, mom will scan some of these photos and make a special page. I hope. People were so friendly or they ignored me.... but that is the way it is here as well!

And we ventured on tasting the sites, smells, new walks, lots of exercise of a new country!  Mom always kept my travel Sherpa bag handy in case i got too tired or simply needed my nap. Am a nappy puppy..hehe.......I needs my nap. 

Mom said that i was a saint. I even used my wee pad in the middle of St. Stefano in the Plaza of the Italian Alps... I wouldn't wee in the car or on the plaza, but on the PAD, IN the plaza. AHHH... blessed relief and blessed St. Stefano. We went in for Italian cafe ...of course always asking the owners who about mangled me to death...but such is life. You love and learn..

We saw castles, even some snow in the Alps but the season wasn't quite open. THEN back to Germany! We stayed at a darling place near the airport. .... and before we hit the plane the next a.m., I voluntarily did 'all my stuff' outside the terminal...and was relieved when we got on the plane. Literally! Slept all the way back to Florida and then HOME .... ahhh.... ! MY HOME!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Needless to say, I was well received. They were so happy to see me that they didn't even ask to see ANY paper work, so we waltzed through the gate, picked up our rental car and off we went! Of course while waiting for the car, Mom took me outside to do what was necessary. She couldn't believe that i didn't mess my bag. BUT..she did feed me/and we were all on terra firma once again in a VERY DOG FRIENDLY COUNTRY!!!!!!  Mom couldn't believe it!!!  ALL DOGS sitting at/in cafes, restaurants...UNREAL!  Even in Austria, Italy , and then into Croatia... i was well received. 

Of course they know you are tourists and cannot leave your dog 'at home' which is 4000 miles or so away! Gee, how would they let me out and feed me..hehe.

We met one of our family friends in Croatia, and she shook the dickens out of me. Hey... am not a toy stuffed thing. Am a human wearing a fur coat!  When will people learn.

More to come......!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, as luck would have, I being such a portable dog, make me the apple of Mom and Pops eyes!!!  In May 2005 i had to get the documentation that I was UTD on all of my shots...then a short visit to the US Dept. of Agriculture in Gainesville Florida with the DVM's note, and i was set to go!

Prior to the trip we checked with the airlines ( United, pet friendly) to make sure that my carry on was okay in size and shape. I was not allowed to be sedated , nor could i eat 3 hours before flight time. SO, Mom put me in the carryon/ we checked in on the plane, me and my microchip, (that could be read with a European Scanner as well as an American scanner....make sure you have one of those chips) ......and off we went into the skies. Mom lifted my carryon into her lap as we took off so that i could feel more secure. She covered it even with a blanket...because hey........i didn't want to hear those sounds!  No way!!!  When we were airborne, Mom gently put me down. We were flying business class so there was plenty of room! 

Of course everyone ate and partied hardy so to speak, then when the lights went off and people were sleeping i decided to try my Houdini trick. I had practiced it for some time now. SO, i quietly unzipped my carryon/ climbed out and took a stroll down the aisles. One flight attendant even said 'excuse me' when she stepped over me...then about fainted thinking that i was a cat or a rat. Hehe.

Mom came chasing after me...but..instead of putting me into the carryon....she placed me on her chest, covered me with her blanket, and we both slept. It was against the rules of course, but Mom and i slept together ........ i poked my head up and that nosey flight attendant saw me..... hehe.... Mom taught me the word Shhhhh...and i knew what she meant. We slept until arriving in Munich Germany!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since my birthday was before Christmas, and there were a few nice kids on the street, Mom baked me a cake and invited the kids over. She bought each child a book and and they came to see the tree and brought gifts! We had a wonderful party!  I received so many stuffed toys and 'things' ..... and then the 'Santa' man came ..... and so began another year. Lots of feet. I was a bit overwhelmed... but in time things quieted down. 

It's been wonderful!  I have a special seat in the SUV and go everywhere. I even go into the BANK and sit on the counter of Bank of America. They give me bones. When Mom goes with Papi, she says to make sure i don't start counting the money cuzz' if there is glue on my paws, i'll be quite stuck so they say!?

So far, it has been wonderful!  I used to get sick a lot, my tummy is very sensitive, but the vet put me on a special diet for yorkies, and it seems to be working. Gee, i survived my first year. 

We go and visit the breeder for my 'checkup ' in addition to the vet checkup!  ... she is a pro with us yorkies, but she stays objective so i'll remember who my real mom is ! ... and papi!

Will fill you in on my trip to Europe... !   That is next... stayed there for a month. !]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was the biggest risk of Moms life. 'Getting' me. My forefathers were Doberman Pinschers. Mom thought that they were the King of Beasts...but after losing two of them, decided to be 'dogless.' Well, this didn't last, but she was quite confused about the breed not wishing to adopt another doberman. Dobie rescue was her life. At the dog show she fell in love yet again with the Dobes.....and just couldn't believe their stately beauty, and henceforth, decided to get yet another one from rescue.

Flash forward....... Me. Lord Pippin. After moving from Miami when Jake ( my older brother went to the Bridge) , Mom just couldn't stand being 'dogless'......!  For 1 year she searched the internet under breeders but just couldn't imagine people shipping Yorkshire Terriers via Fed Ex or whatever it is that they do to deliver us to our furrrever homes. Mom even emailed someone and asked what would happen if a frozen speciman appeared on her front door via DHL /whatever. SOOOOOOOO she phoned a Lady in Sarasota Florida .  She was happy. But Mom said the lady lived too far from St. Augustine, Florida. But for some reason, she phoned the lady again and asked if she could ( mom that is) make the drive to Sarasota Florida. We were met with bundles of JOY. Pure JOY!  Mom wanted them ALL...but took me/ wrapped me in a warm blanket/ and put me in a little basket and called me Moses.  Finding a name was a little difficult.

Pippin. Papi calls me Piccolo which in Italian means "little one"...but I picked my own name out. I really did. All 9 weeks old of me picked up a piece of paper from a CD jacket named Pippin. After the broadway musical. And mom just couldn't believe it because as a Music Director, that was one of Mom's favorite pieces of music not to mention that she had directed it with her students in the Middle School!!  Pippin. Little Lord Pippin!!!!!  So , my papers say Pippin, when she's mad at me she calls me Pippin, but otherwise, i respond more to Piccolo. Thats the gushy gushy name!

Ironically, i was already born. Dec. 23 to be exact. And waiting for a furrrrever home. That Saturday, Valentines Day, February 14th....Mom pleaded with my step dad to PLEASE drive her to Sarasota. She was scared she said that 'he' wouldn't like me.

The breeder confided in Mom and said that if we seemed not to bond, she would rather have the dog returned than being put into a shelter or 'whatever'..... That made Mom feel quite at ease. However, Mom said that all of her life she wanted a Yorkie. And that was the core of her heart...a Small Yorkie.

She drove to Sarasota.......and met Chris. Chris explained the lineage .... King Ferdinand of Spain / and that Chris ( my birthing mother) lived in Spain for 25 years and won awayrds for her outstanding yorkies!!!  She gave Mom the 'runt' of the litter...hated that name.....!  My ears were taped 'up' .... and I weighed 1/4 of a pound. She brought a little basket but i needed to be close to her chest, so i stayed there. Forget the basket.  ....... there were sooooooooo many yorkie babies there. Daddy loved me right away. Mom was scared cause i was small, and she felt as though she just had her first baby!  

We drove the four hours home... and for the following 8 weeks, i slept next to Mom...... !  Daddy bought me my own bed .... and so the story begins. Mom had to return to work ... don't like that... but i was enjoying my Dad ( Papi) during the day! Oh we would play and he would kiss me to death!

And so it goes. My life is good. Free reign of the house and i RULE!!!!  

We did have some minor passive aggressive issues, but through consistant behavioral modification, some patterns changed.

I was put on this earth to be loved and that my parents do very well. Every photo is plastered on the wall.

Mom often says that when i  was tiny, the sleeping sound that i would make in her ear made her want to cry. They were so beautiful! We had dietary issues, i was finicky , but all has more or less resolved itself. Now begins my First Birthday two days before Christmas.]]></content:encoded>
