I have been captive for about 421 days and I still haven't been able to escape yet. The captives feed me terrible food that they say is "healthy" for me. I killed the neighbor's cat for them in hope they would see that I am a force to be reckoned with but instead they started talking about how it kept crappin on the porch and told me that I was a good dog. The alpha male took the cat in the night out to the backyard and buried it. On his way in, I attacked him and bit his leg. Of course, it was dark and he assumed that I had mistaken him for an intruder. What a moron! Later on I ate the chicken that was for their dinner. It tasted so good but I had to crap someting fierce and I couldn't hold it. I crapped in their room. The female stepped in it and pretty much got mad and hit me with a newspaper. What I wish she could understand is that when I'm licking her face, I'm getting accustomed to her taste so I can fuuly enjoy eating her dead, decoposing body. But anyway, I must try to configure a bomb up and hide it in my poo. I will call this deadly weapon, a land mine.

Day 422:

There I am encased in my carrier. It seemed to be some sort of portable jail cell. The humans talked about something called fleas. MAN! I was been itchy. Hold on, let me itch my butt real quick...ohhhh....yes....mmmmm....OK back. The enemies doctor put me in a tub filled with toxic chemicals. I fought as much as I could and in the end, I lost. But I did get my revenge. Later that day, I puked in the humans bed under the covers after I ate some dead bird. Ohh the revenge was sweet. They were so angry and it showed my anger. Tonight I plan on puking on them while they're sleeping. Mwahahahaha! Oh yeah and the land mines are still in progress.

Day 423:

Today, the humans decided to give me some room to move around by leaving the house for the day. I decided to do some sabotage work and other miscellaneous things while they were out. I've finally came through with a formula proven to create the ultimate land mine. It involves an excess amount of poo, though. I plan on sneaking something the humans call a laxative to provide me with the extra surplus. I went through and knawed the top of all the legs on their table chairs. I had to go the bathroom so I left hidden puddles throughout their bedroom. Also, I went and knawed some of their light source cords so now when they get into their room, they won't be able to see where the hidden present are located. And finally, I got into the trash and ripped it out all over the kitchen floor. I can't wait to see their faces when they get home. I will report on this in my next log.

Day 444:

The humans were not happy when they got home last night. They were up to one o' clock. Their socks absorbed every bit of water I put into their room. Ohhhhh they were so mad. I got wipped by a newspaper but then they defended my actions by saying I was nervous because they were gone.What fools! I finished my prototype land mine and tried it one the neighborhod squirrel when they let me out. The mine did not go off but the squirrel was not happy and did not die. Instead, I put it out of it's stinky misery. The adults didn't appreciate the dead momento I brought to them. They kept saying it was a cute, harmless squirrel but I knew better. The squirrel was constantly speaking to the other animals about anarchy and overthrowing the human order. I found the squirrle anarchist unamerican. Anyway, I got hit with that flippin newspaper again. When I finally capture them human, I'm going to beat them over the head constantly with that newspaper then I'm going to feast on their dead flesh. Oh my revenge will be complete then. What they don't realize it that if I were any bigger, I would claw their eyes out. Yet, every night they sleep in their comfortable bed not suspecting a thing. Ohh I can't wait for my day of revenge. That's all for now, I'll post my next log of events tomorrow.

Day 445:

Today's been interesting. I actually hurt one of my captors. It wasn't fatal, unfortunately, but I did get a good laugh. The female was cooking when the doorbell rang. She began to walk while I ran between her legs. Yeah it hurt me for a minute but she wil feel pain for a week. She tripped over me and fell hard on her wrists. She told the male that her "arthritis" was killing her after the fall. He sympathized for her while I laughed inside. Later on, I worked on my land mine out in the backyard. The formula called for laxative and I finally got some by faking constipation for the past couple days and having it proscribed to me by the vet after he heard. The land mine worked. The explosion put out shook the entire backyard. The humans came out in a hurry and saw me just sitting there. They said something about the railroad and walked back in. I'm almost sure that this will at least blow off a leg. I can't wait to try it out. It's just a matter of time til all the pieces come together. Revenge will be finally mine.

Day 446:

Eveything is being put to the side and I am officially in high alert. The captors have decided to bring in another captive which proves to be my equal. The captive is a cat and no matter how I tried to kill it when it first came in, it's spped and agaility far outmatched my own. I then tried to get the cat to join my side but instead it sabotaged my doogy door and I got hit in the face by a piece of board. Mangey animal. I can't wait to kill it. The land mines, I have decided, will be used on the cat. I will try everything in my aresenal to rid the world of it. i will update everone tomorrow and hopefully the log will contain the animal's death.

Day 447:

The cat has proved to be a formidable opponent. It has matched every tactical move of mine and better. So I decided to try the explosive Poo Land Mines. The cat was prancing through the yard when it hit it. The smell was so bad, the captors forced it to take a bath. The cat put up such a fight that it just added to my intense satisfaction. I can't wait to kill the cat and move on to the captors. The cat will be hard but I think with a little bit of ingenuity I think I will win. I will report on my next actions tomorrow.

Day 448:

Mark down today as a victory. A small one but still a victorious day. The cat has not been eliminated but I'm sure he was wished he had been. Today, I made a slingshot while the captors were away. The slingshot was stationed at the door and was big enough to eject small animals like a cat 150 yards. IMPRESSIVE! Anyway the cat came walking through the door when it tripped the wire. The next thing you see is a flash of fur as it went out into the neighbor's yard screaming like a kitten. the next step was to frame the cat. I got onto the counter and ripped everything apart. I then took the chair that I used to get up there back into the dining room and took a nap. I woke up to a screaming cat who was getting beaten with a newspaper from the captors for ruining the kitchen. I barked so hard that I almost passed out. Finally, I went near the kitty litter box and pooped a huge one. I then buried it in the litter sand and hid behind a corner. The cat went to go to the bathroom and stepped right into my pile. The cat then tracked all over the house. The cat was beaten yet again then given a bath. Ohhhh, I haven't been this happy since I passed survival academy. I'll update everyone on my action tomorrow.

Day 449:

Today is another victory and the cat is gone or "has run away" as the captors put it. I have killed the cat and its poor limp body will never be found. The reason for its unexplainable death? My land mine finally worked. I put one in its litter box and as it went it tripped the mine and then POOF! No more kitty, just fur and some limbs. I took the limbs and buried them in the garden. Hopefully the captors never find it. The captors have put up signs eveywhere hoping someone will find the cat but I already know that that will never happen. Mwahahahaha! I can finally concentrate on getting back at my captors. I will update my actions tomorrow but tonight the dogs of the neighborhood feast...on the trash of our captors...Mwahahahahahahahah!!!!

Day 450:

Today is a bad day which I thought wouldn't have come so soon. The body parts of the dead cat were discovered today when the female captor went out to do some gardening. The first thing I heard was "Oh ****!" Whatever that means then i hear "Harry that dog killed our cat!" Then the male answers back "So what?!" The femal got extremely angry at the male and said "Harry you get up off that couch and do something!" The male replied "Harriet, you wanted the stupid cat and you can deal with the dog!" While all that was going on, I decided to take refuge in an extremely stealthy place that could easily be defended...under the dining room table. Finally after the two captors argued for a while, the female came for me...with the newspaper. I thought I could be seen but first thing she does is looks under the table. Wait I've hid here before! I realized that I had screwed up. She got a hold of me and gave me a beating of a lifetime. I'm currently in a cage with no parole. I'll update any new occurences tomorrow.

Day 451:

Well, I've been allowed out of my cage today only to go to bathroom. It sucks. All I've been able to do is sit and and scheme on my next plan when I'm out of this jail inside of jail. But here are some ideas I've thought might work when I get out.
1. I'll jump on my owner at the top of the stairs right before they start going downstairs. If I have enough momentum, I can cause the captor to lose balance, fall down the stairs, and hopefully on the way down his/her necks breaks. Then when the next captor comes in and sees the body they'll think that their partner fell and died not suspecting me at all. Then I'll do it to the captor that's left.
2. The next idea is to mine the entire sidewalk overnight since I've finally perfected the land mine and tested it on the cat. The captor will go out to get the paper, then....BOOM! No more captor. The other one will run out to see what happened and then....BOOM! That captor's gone and I'm now free!
3. The last one I've concocted is diabolical. I will get real revenge out of this one. While the captors are asleep, I'll jump on the bed and knaw their throats out! JUST KIDDING!!! I may be sick but not that sick. And you all thought I was serious...Shame on you! Well I got to go...Captor's coming. I'll update actions tomorrow.

Here's a couple to start you all off.

George Washington & Little Johnny
Little Johnny's teacher asks, "George Washington not only chopped down his father's Cherry tree, but also admitted doing it. Do any of you know why his father didn't punish him?" Little Johnny replies, "Because George was the one holding the axe?
Little Johnny Knows His Numbers The teacher asks little Johnny if he knows his numbers. "Yes," he says. "My daddy taught me." "Can you tell me what comes after three?" "Four," answers little Johnny. "What comes after six?" "Seven," answers little Johnny. "Very good," says the teacher. "Your father did a very fine job.
What comes after ten?" "A jack," answers little Johnny.
Little Johnny was digging a hole... One day little Johnny was digging a hole in his back yard. The next-door neighbor spotted him and decided to investigate. "Hello Johnny, what are you up to?" he asked. "My goldfish died and I'm gonna bury him," Johnny replied. "That's a really big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?" asked the neighbor. "That's because he's inside your cat!"

Are You a Martha or a Maxine?
MR=Martha's Way
MX= Maxine's Way

MR-Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
MX-Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

MR-To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
MX-Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix , keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

MR-When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
MX-Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you. MR- If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."

MR- If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!" MR-Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting
MX-Celery? Never heard of it in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

MR-Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
MX-The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.

MR-Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
MX-Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!

MR-If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
MX-Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

MR-Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
MX-Leftover wine??????????? HELLO!!!!!!!
As usual, if you don't forward this to 1 of your friends within the next 5 minutes, your belly button will unscrew and your butt will fall off.
Really ... it's true! Have I ever lied to you?
