Hello all!
Well, I guess the first thing I should tell you is about my school!
I really like it! There's another cocker, a black and tan boy who is very handsome, we flirt a lot when we see each other! His name is Harley.
I like all the doggies in my class, and I am very good too!!
The first two times I got a little bored because we had to repeat my "down" and "sit" command a lot, and since I already knew it, I got bored after a few times, but now we started doing more things, I know all the command they teach us so far, but it is fun and auntie says it's good for me.
I am doing very very good with other doggies, but with people I'm not having much luck, they are scary!!!
I was starting to be nice to people, but the other day there was a lady at the dog run, and she looked scary, so I started barking at her, and she started barking back at me!! I got more scared, auntie got mad!
Now I bark at them when they want to pet me! Auntie said they are not going to hurt me, but I don't know, I don't want them to scare me like that lady did! I thin men are scarier than woman.
I will do an exception once in a while and let the ladies pet me. If they give me a treat I don't bark either.
I made lots of doggy friends at the park, and a lot of cocker friends too!
Three of them are Daffney (a buff girl), Penelope (red & white) and Abby (tri color).
Abby is just a little baby, she is only 12 weeks old, I don't know what to make of her, but I'm nice to her as long as she doesn't jump on me!
I like to flirt with some boy dogs too, auntie thinks it's funny.
That's all for now! Till next time!
current mood:  good

Hello!!!
Auntie said my socializing at the dog park is finally paying off! She is so happy
and I am proud!
Yesterday I said hello to all the doggies that came to see me, and wagged my tale
to everyone of them, after they left I sat in front of auntie and looked at her
waiting for my reward for being nice!
She said she'd rather have me wait for treats after saying hello than not being nice
to the doggies. She is so happy I've been such a good girl, and I am too!!
I also let a lot of people pet me yesterday! I am still shy but at least I behave like
a lady most of the time!
Yesterday we saw two cockers at the doggy run, a red and white 6 month old
boy, and a 15 month old chocolate boy.
My friends Valley and Cocky's mommy said they should make a special run for
cockers!
Today I start my obedience training, I am a little nervous but very excited, auntie
and I waited a long time until we could start!!
I'll let you know how it went

Well, yesterday I went to the doggy run again!With Mommy and Auntie.
Auntie is a little worried because I wont go far from anyone, and if she calls me from the other side of the run like she did yesterday I won't go. I used to, but she is worried I got scared yesterday with the doggies and now I am afraid it would happen again, so she said she is going to have to work on that....
On a happy note, I finally saw one of my cocker friends I met a few months ago! Remember Valley and her sister from last August? Well, her sister, Cockie, was there yesterday with her owner!!
It was nice to see them again, we are going to meet today again, and Valley will come along too! Their mommy seemed interested in taking Cockie to the obedience lessons I will attend so maybe she'll go too!
Here's a picture of Cockie and I.
And here're a couple of pictures at the doggy run, I was in the "small dogs" section.
From a distance.
Just hanging around
Waiting to take a drink
Auntie also gave me a bath yesterday! Yuck! I hate baths! But I like it how everyone tells me how pretty I look afterwards!! Here's a picture of me after my bath.
I am not supposed to go on the sofa, but auntie said it was just for the picture. :)
That's all for no

Yesteday I had a blast!!
They opened the doggy run at the park near my house! So we went to the "grand opening"!
It was so much fun!!I was very very very good and didn't pick a fight with any dog! There was
the occasional growl, but auntie says I have the right not to like every single dog!
I did get a big scare one time, auntie was on the other side of the run and I
was with my grandma, when auntie called me, I came running to her and 4 other big doggies started chasing me playing "follow the leader"! It was scary!I didn't want to be the leader!!
They just wanted to play, but they looked big and scary, so I went running back to my grandma whining and scared, I didn't know what to do to make them stop! Thankfully when I went up to grandma they left me alone!
I got over it and was ok after a while!
We stayed there longer and I sniffed more doggies, had a drink of water at the doggy water fountain, etc.
Then auntie and I entered two contests!! And we won one!!
The first one was the owner-dog look alike contest, we won 2nd place!
The first place went to a Boxer and his owner.
And we got 1st place in the Best Trick contest!!!!!!!!! I did my "play dead" trick and charmed the audience!!! When I did it everyone said "AWWWW".
Mommy came to see me for the contests and cheered loud for auntie and I from the audience (with granma too!)
I did very well, everyone is so proud of me and I am proud of myself!
Auntie says I am such a good girl!!
The audience and doggies everywhere didn't bother me at all!
We saw a few cockers, but we mainly ignored each other, auntie said they were cute but non cuter than me.
The doggy run is divided in three parts, one for big dogs, another one for small dogs and the third one for any size dogs.
They have water fountains at doggy lever and human level, and more!
We went to the small dogs section first and started upgrading little by little so I got to be
with different sizes of dogs not only small ones.
The doggies didn't bother me much, auntie was glad, a few came to sniff me and that was it, everyone was in their own world/game, and if they saw I didn't want to play, we just sniffed each other and left me alone.
Auntie thinks we did a big step yesteday, I do too, I didn't leave auntie's or grandma's side much, but we got to see tons of dogs and people and I let a lot of people pet me without them giving me treats!
Mommy's camera was out of batteries, and auntie couldn't find hers! So they couldn't take the camera, it's too bad!
Have a nice day everyone!!
But here're two pictures of me at the park, they were taken on November.
That's me wearing a t-shirt auntie made for me.
And here I am covered with leaves, auntie and mommy covered me with leaves, we thought it was funny! I even smiled for the pict
current mood:  happy

Hi all!
Auntie has been so busy lately I haven't told you about my "outing" on Sunday!
Well, We went to the beach with my uncle Fede, his wife(Jamie), auntie and two of Jamie's Sister's dogs!
Katy (a 10yr shih-tzu, here's her pic)
And Andrew (he's about 7yrs he's a sheltie, here's his pic)
The pictures are old but now can see how they look like!
Anyway, I was very very very very very good!!
I was very comfortable around them, auntie rode in the back of the car with me, but I didn't care for the other doggies!!
On the way to the beach I laid beside Andrew and took a nap with him, and on the way back, auntie had Katy on her lap, but I didn't care as long as she was petting her, I even laid beside auntie, so close she was touching Katy and non of us minded:). I took a nice relaxing nap on the way back!
While we were at the beach, I wanted to play with Andrew, but I didn't know how and he wasn't in playing mood, that's too bad! It would have been fun!
Katy is the "playful" one, that's why auntie brought her, we mainly ignored each other, we sniffed at each other a couple of times, but nothing much happened!
Oh! When we went to picked them up, I went to the house and was very good (Jamie's sister's has 5 dogs).
All of the dogs were pretty nice with me, except for one who wanted to "play" bully and would follow me around and stare at me, sometimes even stand on my way and not letting me go through a door, that wasn't very nice of him, I didn't like it, I wanted to be with auntie.
We only fought one time and he started it, I think it is a "face" he is going through, since
I knew him before, and he was very nice to me. Oh well! Boys will be boys!!
It's been a while since I saw them, so maybe he forgot about me!
They also have a few cats and one of them thinks he's a dog, hehe! His name is Patrick, auntie thinks he is so cute, he walks around like a dog, follows humans around like a dog, I like him a lot!
Here's a picture of us taken a few years ago
Unfortunately, auntie forgot the camera, so she couldn't take any pictures that day!
Also, they couldn't stay at my house when we came back because they had to go.
So now auntie wants to see how I react to a doggy in the house. All this talk about a puppy she want to get....
Tomorrow is the grand opening of the doggy run! We are going to go see it!
Also, the obedience classes start on Feb. 11, auntie has to see if there's still a spot for me, she forgot about that!!!Silly auntie!
well, that's all for now!
Have a nice weeken
current mood: pleased

Hello all!
Yesterday was a strange day!
In the morning I took a long nap on one of my bed, well actually two, there's one
on top of another, auntie tried putting one in her room, but I didn't sleep there, I
like them both together for extra comfort, here's a picture of me sleeping,
yesterday.
Then, in the afternoon she cleaned my hind legs, I get them a little dirty sometimes
at the park.
Auntie says it's funny sometimes I get little sticks stuck on them and I walk like
nothing happens, she is always taking them off.
After that they took me to the vet, they were a little worried because auntie felt a
little lump in one of my nipples, mommy and grandma didn't feel anything, but
auntie was concerned about that, so she and mommy took me to the vet.
I am happy to say that I passed the exam with flying colors, I am very healthy.
I was a very very very very good girl there too! I didn't bark at all, I behaved like
a lady!
They took me in a back room to weight me and trim my nails, and the vet tech
said I was very good.
So we are all happy about what the vet said, and auntie is now relieved.
After that uncle Fede came with his wife Jamie, and they played (with auntie) a
little silly game with my tennis balls, and I was supposed to fetch them! It was
fun!!
It's getting a little cold now, yesterday was about 48F but it felt like 40F, I wore
my sweeter every time I went outside!
Oh! I wore my sweeter to the vet too, and everyone at the clinic told me how
pretty I looked and what a nice sweeter I had!
My friend's Carol, Tessa and Tristan
have Live Journal now!!
Well, that's all for now!!
current mood: pleased

Today I had two people coming over two my house, two little people.
Leah, who is 1 1/2 and Hannah who is 4, auntie had to watch them and I helped her.
I knew Leah already because she came before, but her sister Hannah never stayed to play, well today she did! And she brought me a new toy!
I had so much fun!!
We went to the park, first they were on a funny looking thing called a stroller, but then they got down and I played with Hannah with my tennis ball (not the big one, a little one), while Leah run all over the place and auntie tried to keep an eye on all of us.
Then when we all came back Hannah and Leah had snacks and I helped them eat them, they were yummy, auntie made me do some trick so I didn't get all of them for "free"
I am really tired now, I am going to take a nap! (I missed my morning nap today

Today I went to the park with grandma, I love going to the park! It's like my second backyard.
I am making more doggie friends, and auntie is thinking about making a birthday party for me, but it isn't a sure thing yet.
There's a doggie run they made where the doggies can go play off leash, but it opens on February 1st! So I am going to have to wait!
Auntie is not feeling very well today, I went to her bed to say good morning, and then got up and stayed with her on the bed for a while, (I don't usually do that, I usually say good morning and go see what everyone else is doing).
I hope she feels better soon! She says my cuddling makes her feel better already, that makes me happy :)
Well, that's all for now! I'm going to take my usual morning nap

Today I played with Lizzy, first I was playing with auntie running all over the house
with my toy, and then auntie took a brake, I saw Lizzy walking around the living
room and started doing play bows at her, and she just looked at me, it was fun!
But then auntie told me I got too excited and she told me to stop because she was
afraid I'll be too rough with her, so I stopped and Lizzy went to her cage with Loui.
In the evening auntie took me to the park and I made two cocker spaniel friends!
They were both girls, one was a red parti (Valley) and the other one was a tri parti
(I don't remember her name)
I liked them both very much! Specially Valley, I even touched her with my paw
because I wanted to play with her, but she was a little shy, she just smelled me and
look at me.
Auntie and they girls' owner were so happy we liked each other so much, they said
we should meet again and maybe they could come play in my backyard someday!
I also let two strangers pet me (the girls' owner) and another guy, but auntie didn't
like him very much so we didn't pay much attention to him.
All in all it was a good day, and auntie is so proud of me, and I'm proud of myself!!
I better go now! I smell barbecue!!

Hello All!
Today I'm happy! I met sooooo many people!
First auntie took me to pick up mommy somewhere, she was with the bike.
After that we stopped at a new Petsmart I've never been before, and boy! Was it fun! All those new smells!
I made a doggy friend, and auntie was happy because it was a puppy girl and I liked her (something about her getting a little cousin in a few month, I don't know about that).
The best thing about Petsmart is that auntie bought me treats! Yumm! I love treats!
Auntie was so happy I was such a good girl at Petsmart she gave me one!
Then we went to Ruby's barn, and I saw my human friend Stubby, I really like him he is so nice!!
I met 4 new people at the barn, at the beginning I barked a little at one of them, but they all gave me treats and I was fine,two of them have to leave but the other two stayed and they even got to pet me!
Then I came home really happy, and a couple of minutes after grandma and grandpa came with 3 strangers, and a dog, I made friends with all of them and was a very good girl.
After that my neighbor, her granddaughter (a 1 yr old baby) and her daughter in law came to invite mommy and auntie to a birthday party and I said hi to all of them specially the baby! I like her as long as she isn't ruff with me!
I had a great day, and I just eat yummy chicken with veggies and my dog food.
Auntie started giving me yummy healthy stuff with my dog food, because I took a long time to eat the dog food alone and she wanted to give it a yummy taste for me, and I do love it!
Auntie said she is very proud of me because I was such a good girl with everyone today!
Thats all for now! Till next time!

Hi all!!
Yesterday was a beautiful day! Auntie and Grandma took me to the beach, and boy! Did I swim!
The water was very nice! Neither cold nor hot, and the weather was beautiful.
There were other doggies swimming and I also saw a ferret, which auntie and grandma laughed at when they saw him swimming!
Auntie took one of those inflatable beds for the water, she said it was for herself, but I liked it so much that I ended up using it!!
I used it mainly to rest after swimming so much, and auntie and grandma helped me up.
After a long time of swimming I layed down there (auntie and grandma were also holding on to it) and I took a little nap, but I kept on the look out for doggies, which I like to watch from afar.
And I also watched the people walking by and many more things.
It was really nice day! But, when we left it started raining a little bit (that's Florida, you never know what the weather will bring you!). I'm glad we left when we did! But I had a blast! I love the beach!
See you soon
current mood: happy

What a fun day I had today!!
Mommy and auntie, a friend of theirs, and I went swimming!
Remember yesteday I told you about auntie taking care of her friend's dogs, and that she has a nice big lake right behind her backyard?
Well, today I went swimming there! I had to much fun!!! We also went for a boat ride, and I loved it!!!
After about an hour of fun, they took the boat out of the water and mommy, auntie and their friend got all excited about a weird big sort of fish they called a manatee.
They were so happy since yesterday they saw dolphins and today they saw manatees, and they were only a few feet away from us.
I wasn't paying much attencion to the manatees, I was busy doing my business (#2) and smelling all over the nice big backyard.
Today I was a little nicer to the dogs, but not very nice yet, I have to get used to them, they are so big and one of them won't leave me alone, auntie says he wants to play, but I like to have my space, and he doesn't seem to understand that, oh well, boys will be boys, right?
Well, I'm tired now, I'm going to go to bed.
Good night!

HI All!!
Today I had the most fun!!
I went out with mommy and auntie Sofi. First we went to auntie's friend house, because she is taking care of their dogs while she is on vacation. I don't like the doggies so much because they are too big for me. But I do LOVE her backyard, it is really huge! And in the back they have a huge lake, I saw big big fish my auntie and mommy called them dolphins, they were pretty near us, but I was more interested in jumping in the water. I really wanted to swim, but mom and auntie said no, maybe tomorrow. I run lots in the backyard and did my business.
Then we went to see Ruby and I saw my human friend Stubby at the barn. I love him, he is so nice, I always run and bark of happiness when I see him!
After that mommy, auntie Ruby and I went to the horse trail, it was so HOT! But I love going there! I always run a lot, and I get really tired, but Im so happy when I go, and my humans always bring water so I can drink lots of it!
Now its only noon, but I'm so tired that I'll probably sleep a big nap!
But I smell food so I better see if mommy or auntie have something to eat!
Oh! And Grandma is coming back today!!! She went to Miami for work on friday and I really miss her when she goes away, I can't wait till she arrives!
See you soon!!

Wow!!! I can't believe it's been so long since I wrote last!!!
Well, the most important thing that happened was my birthday on April 23, and I had a blast! I went to the beach AND the horse trail, and auntie made me a really really yummy food, beef with veggies and rice, which I ate all! Yum!!
I'm not really friends with Lizzy but we learned to live with each other, the best thing about Lizzy and Loui, is that everytime auntie gives the something yummy to eat Lizzy always drops something and I get to clean it up!
Auntie said you can always tell when I've been around the cages looking for food, because I always get feather stuck on my nose *blush*
I can't remember everything I did since march, but I'll tell you a few things and what happened latley.
Now when I go to the horse trail, I usually get to swim on the lake thats at the end of it! And I LOVE it, I love to swim!!
Hurracaine season started on June, that means lots of rain (we don't get a lot of rain in the first months of the year, sometimes months go by without rain).
Anyway, but I don't like it when it rains, I hate to go potty on the wet grass! My humans always keep a newspaper on the floor at the laundry room for "emergencies", they dont think rain is an emergency, but I sure don't like it!
I dont like when my grandma waters the plants either, I always make sure I keep my distance in case the water decides to come on my way.
On another subject, auntie says she is so happy with how well I've been behaving around
strangers, she hasn't been doing any particular training, but I'm not afraid of them as I was before, I still bark once in a while, but I've been making friends at the park which I now greet like long lost friends everytime I see them!
This past week I've met a 10 month old baby, which I was really
courious about. Everytimes I meets a
new baby I'm always courious about them, I've never barked at a baby, and even
though I am a little afriad of those little usteady (walking wise) people, I usually like them, except when they pull my ear or are too rough with me, thats when I run away from them!
I also saw Ivy, the 6 year old my auntie babysits, I already knew her, but I was a little afraid of her. Well, now auntie sayd I greet her like a lady, and I even got to play
with her and do a few tricks for her!
We just arrived from the park, it is so nice, the grass is reaaally green and nice, we played with a stick and practiced a little
obedience.
Auntie wanted to see how I did a down stay while she got away from me a few feet, and she said I passed with flying colors!! And she didn't even teach me how to do it, I knew "down" and "stay" but I never did that of her getting away from me. Aren't I smart?
I also made a doggy friend today and I was a lady with him aswell.
Well, that's all for now! Until next time!

Hello people!
Sorry I didn't write for a while! But here I am!
Guess what?? My auntie finally took me to the beach! and what a fun day I had!
you can see pics of me swimming at my website
http://maggieplace.tripod.com/mb2.html
Then that same day, I went to see my friend Ruby the horse, first we weren't going to go to the horse trail, but I was so excited and I really wanted to go, so we ended up going! And I ran and ran and ran :)
After all of that fun, I was really tired, but I had a blast!!
Today I might go to the horse trail again! I can't wait! Last time I went was last sunday, I went with Grandma and Mommy.
I'm makinf friends with Lizzy the parakeet. She is my auntie's, Lizzy bothers me sometimes, she chases me around the living room,and I don't like it cause I want to sleep.
But yesterday auntie was holding her, and I was looking, then Lizzy jumped on the floor and I made a play bow to her :P But she didn't really pay attention to me.
Auntie tought me that I can only chase the birdies outside, not Lizzy or Loui (Lizzy's boyfriend)
Loui never bothers me, Lizzy is the one who wants to get into everything!
I like when auntie gives them yummy stuff, cause Lizzy always drops something and I clean it up.
I always help auntie when she is feeding them, in case she drops something I can eat. :)
Auntie says I'm such a good helper!
I love helping at the kitchen, specially when they are cooking, I make sure I clean up what they drop.
Well, thats all for now!
Until next time!
current mood: happy

Hello all!
Well, I'm sorry to say, I couldn't go to the beach, the weather got cold again, and when it's cold and I go swimming I get really cold, so auntie rather takes me when its warmer.
These days is not that bad, so maybe tomorrow, if auntie doesn't go to Busch Gardens, she'll take me :) We'll see!!
Last week, mommy and auntie took me to my new vet.
They were so happy I liked the people there! I didn't bark at anyone and the vet didn't have to give me treats so I'd let her pet me. So mommy and specially auntie were very happy.
Auntie asked the vet. about spaying me, but she is not very convinced about it.
The vet. told them that my knees popped out of place, and they should keep an eye on me, put so far I'm not showing any signs of pain, which is good :P
Another good thing is that I like doggies more now!!! I almost don't bark at them anymore! And I pull on the leash when I see one so I can go and say hello. I don't know how to play with the yet, but it's a good thing I'm getting along much better with them!
Today I met a little pup, he was only 12 weeks old, I was happy to meet him, but them I got a little crunky when he started jumping on me to play with me and I growled at him, then auntie started petting him and told me that he wasn't going to hurt me, so I wagged my tale at him one more time and we went our own ways. Then I went and chased the seagulls and run and run and run!
Grandma took me to the park in the morning, and auntie took me in the afternoon, and grandma and now Im going again! I love going to the park! It's one of my favorite places in the world!
Well, that's all for now!!!
Until next time!!

Hello People!
This last week I had a good time. On wednesday my auntie Sofia found a new
trail near my house, it was very fun, it was like a little forest and I had such a good
time in it!
Then she took me to petsmart for my training, but I didn't do very good, I barked
at a little boy, it seem like that day, everyone decided to take their kids to
Petsmart, and I wasn't very happy about it, little kids scare me when they scream
and run, if they are gentle with me, I'm ok with them... auntie wasn't very happy,
so she decided to take me home for the day and let me calm down.
Today I learned a new trick!! Roll over, Im not very good at it yet, since I just
learned it, but I'm getting there!
All together I know, sit, stay, speak, give you five, lay down, play dead, roll over,
come... I think that's all for now, when I master the "roll over" auntie is going to
teach me to stand in two legs and jump, this should be fun!
Mommy helped teaching me the roll over tick ;P
Tonight auntie took me to go potty outside, but it was raining so I got really wet,
before I got into the house she picked me up and took me to the bathroom to
rinse off the dirt and then she dry me with the hair dryer, I wasn't very happy with
it, but at least I got to go out :)
Well, that's all for now! Auntie said that she want to take me to the beach before I
get a bath (I have to get a bath next week (Yuk!), she is going to try to take me
on Saturday on Sunday! I hope she does! I love to swim! And I hope it doesn't
get too cold either. I'll let you know if she takes me!
That's all for now!
