      <description><![CDATA[<p>Boy did I feel rough over Christmas!!! Christmas Day was grand, I got passed a few extra treats by all the guests in the house and was loving it. But in the middle of the night I could feel a rumble and it didn't feel good. As you know I sleep in my crate and I like the door closed so there really was nowhere else to go :-/</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I started howling at about 7am cos I seriously need out, through the eye of a needle doesn't even come close!!</p>
<p>Mum got up and let me out but I could hold it no longer and had to go on the living room floor! I was waiting on Mum exploding but thankfully she could see I was ill. We had visitors later that day and I'm ashamed to say I let myself go right at the lady's feet, the smell could have killed a horse and this time Dad was not best pleased. But wait, the best is yet to come.........I actually went on the good sofa!!! Can you believe I lived to tell that tale?!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyhow it got so bad Mum rang the emergency vet and I had to spend the night there, then the whole next day at my own vets..........not nice!! I hate being around people I don't know (I get that from my Mum).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With a more strict diet and some TLC I'm back to fighting fit, thank goodness!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Chat soon</p>

      <description><![CDATA[When I woke this morning I reached for the IPad, as I always do, to read the news and catch up with whats happening in your human world. Lately all I read is about the recession, recession, recession, anyone would think you humans took delight in depressing each other.

I'm getting side tracked, today I came across this fabulous story about Jasper the daschund. Jasper had been paralysed for four years when he took part in a medical trial. After using cells from his nose, Jasper is now back on the treadmill and fighting fit!

Nothing short of a miracle and it makes me proud to see that us pooches are still paving the way for medical advances in humans.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Police today found puppys in 2 cars in Ireland being trafficed from puppy farms in Ireland to the UK.</p>
<p>I can't stress enough how important it is to stamp out these puppy farms!!</p>
<p>These puppys are kept in terrible conditions and so are their mothers.</p>
<p>The puppys found today were not even old enough to be removed from their mothers, how heart breaking. I know Santa time is just around the corner and loads of little children will be asking for puppies so now is the time to start looking for a reputable breeder from which to get your pup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>please, please, please don't buy from a puppy farm</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Jimmy Saville]]></title><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
      <link>http://www.calvinknine.com/blog/jimmysaville/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Was anyone else shocked when they heard the claims that Jimmy saville had abused young girls during his time at the BBC?</p>
<p>My Mum definately was!! She says she used to watch "Jim'll fix it" as a child and had considered Jimmy Saville to be a charitable man.</p>
<p>It just goes to show though that money and status can allow some people to get away with anything. Some of the girls involved said they had spoken out but that no-one took them seriously. Many at the BBC are coming out now and saying it was a well known secret that Jimmy Saville abused young girls............why didn't anyone speak out about the so called well know secret?! Shame on those people who knew about it and kept quiet.</p>
<p>I'm not surprised the charities set up by him want to drop his name, would you want to be associated with someone who took advantage of young girls? I should think not!!</p>
<p>I'm going to try to find a good news event to talk about in my next blog post, I'm sick of all this doom and gloom!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>My mummy keeps cying when the news comes on and she's glued to the TV when she sees the police updates about poor April Jones. I find it difficult to understand how some humans can be so cruel to each other. Us pampered pooches just don't have that kinda badness in us.</p>
<p>You would think if the police have the right man in custody they would have got from him the information required to find this poor young girl.</p>
<p>The weather has been so terrible this last few days, it can't have helped the situation with the search.</p>
<p>I just wanna encourage everyone to keep praying, hopefully God will return April safely to her mother.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>How awful it must be to be told that your 5 year old child is missing. My big sister is 5 and I know it would kill my mummy and daddy if anything happened to her.</p>
<p>We all need to keep April and her family in our prayers, hopefully this will have a pleasent ending. I will never understand anyone who preys on young children, innocent and vulnerable. Even as a pampered pooch I can only imagine the heartache.</p>
<p>Keep praying</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Well I was raging last night when Rylan got through on the x factor!!! Didn't he just look ridiculous in his Kylie Minogue style outfit.</p>
<p>Besides looking ridiculous he can't flaming sing!! There were much better contestants in the boys category and there was better put out at boot camp. I thought Joseph Whelan was fantastic, and easy on the eye ;-)</p>
<p>I don't even know if I can bring myself to watch it this Saturday as it's a bloody fix!!</p>]]></description>

      <link>http://www.calvinknine.com/blog/ashamed/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>After what happened with Cody and now the story in the news today about poor Scott Vineer I actually dispair of you humans!!! What has gotten into some of you??!! I was already losing my faith in the human race after reading the story of poor Cody on facebook when I read today about Scott Vineer.</p>
<p>If you haven't read the story, you can do if you follow this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19546194</p>
<p>What is it that possesses a human to willfully harm another human or another living creature? Surely it is a much more rewarding experience to help one another than it is to harm? You could do with taking a leaf out of our pampered pooches book, we wouldn't harm anyone or anything unless acting in self defense, no matter what breed we are ( that's a rant for another day!)</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I had to post just as soon as I heard (of course through facebook). It's so sad that after all the bravery, poor Cody has passed away. The only saving grace is that there will be no more suffering.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lets hope that justice is served on the two evil men that carried out such a vicious attack, and I mean proper justice!! Not the kind handed out by the courts</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>R I P Cody, hope you're enjoying the dog hotel in the sky</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Springer spaniel Theo will be awared the Dickin Medal next month and a more worthy pooch you wouldn't meet. This part if the story is heart warming I'm sure you'll agree. What struck me was that the dog died just hours after his handler was killed in Afghanistan. How very sad!!!&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's being suggested that the dog died of a broken heart and this I can well believe. My Mummy says people die of broken hearts all the time so why could a pooch not.&nbsp;</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi I'm Lady, a short haired miniture daschund who likes to air my opinion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was shocked to read on Facebook about Cody, can you believe what those people did to that poor pooch? I have read that Cody is slowly but surely recovering, which is GREAT news. I've also read on Facebook that 2 people have been arrested, also great news but really what those people need is a taste of their own medicine.If you haven't read the horrific story, you can do here</p>
<p>http://www.u.tv/news/Aggressive-male-sought-over-Cody-attack/75d678ed-833f-4105-87d8-1acb96ed4add</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, as I'm sure you've picked up, I like a bit of facebooking. In fact that's where I get the biz on all sorts of things from what's happening with Cody to where's the best place to buy treats. I'll let you all into my secret, I love a wee biscuit with my tea of an evening and you would go a long way to find better bickies than the ones these guys make</p>
<p>http://www.facebook.com/the5dogbarkery/info, again found on facebook :-)</p>
<p>On that note, I'm off for a cuppa and a wee treat, I am a Lady after all :-)</p>]]></description>
