The "If you don't have a lot of time, come back later" blog

Hey, everyone; Maggie the two year old Cavachon here. Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while, but I’ve just been soooo busy. Thursday(The 16th ) was my second birthday and Casey left to visit cousins in Iowa. She got back on Monday and Sugar came to stay at my house on Wednesday(the21st).



My birthday was AWESOME!!!! It all started Wednesday(the 15th ) night when me, and my sisters Peyton and Missy had a party. I had so much fun!!!! Our other friend, Molly also came to the party. She weighs under 10 pounds!!








When I woke up on Thursday (the 16th) it was my birthday ! Casey gave me an extra large breakfast, and Abby and Emma came over for birthday brunch. We had eggs, bacon, and pancakes.







A while later, Sugar came over and we wrestled! I had so much fun! We ran around in circles chasing each other’s tails!



After Sugar left, Casey and I had some time together before she left for Iowa.(Whatever that is) I was really sad at first, but she talked to me every night on the phone. When she got home, I was really excited. She kept talking about my friend, Sugar, for some reason. Little did I know…..

On Wednesday(the 21st), Casey spent the whole day at water-park. I was so angry. Did she love water-park more than me?(Later I found out that water-park is actually a place. Ooops!) A couple of hours after Casey had been gone, Sugar showed up at my house to play. But strange things started to happen.. Sugar brought a box of food over-waaaaay too much for a snack. She also brought her bed- I thought mine was comfortable enough for Sugar to take a quick nap in! The last strange thing that happened was that Sugar’s owners left. They just dropped her off!!
Well, by the time Casey got back from water-park, I figured out that Sugar would be here for a while. When Sugar was smaller, I went easy on her in wrestling. Now that we’re the same size, she’s a good match for me.




I hate to say it, but I’m getting tired of blogging. I think I’ll go play with Sugar now.

Do you know that that old saying that St. Bernards carry a warm drink in a barrel around their neck for their rescue is not true? Yep! A total fake! They do carry a bag on their shoulders
With other life saving supplies, though.

Bark in the Park

On Saturday night, me, Casey, and Daddy went to a baseball game together. Our local team, The Dash,has a special event called Bark in the Park.

At Bark in the Park, dogs came to the baseball game with their humans. We also met Holly and Chelsea at the game. There was a contest at the top of every inning, and I got third place in “Best Trick” by balancing two Milk-Bones on my nose.

Holly and Casey got chosen as judges for “Largest Dog” and this Great Dane named DiMaggio won. I think I could’ve taken a ride on him, me and Chelsea.


Casey and I also split a hotdog! I got mustard all over my nose. Casey and Holly seemed to think it was pretty funny.







A foul ball flew right over my head! If it was going slower, I would have caught it for sure!
In between contests and hotdogs, Chelsea and I got really interested in the game.






After Bark in the Park, I went home and fell into my bed. I was asleep moments later.I hope your Saturday night was as fun as mine!

My Weird Week

Hey guys! As you know, my weird week started out with Casey being at Summer Camp. I started out the week being really sad and feeling lonesome. Who would slice my fresh apples?Who would invite Abby, Sugar, and Chelsea to play with me? And who would stare at me with an annoyed look when I didn’t “come”?

But Daddy and Mommy actually did a good job handling my daily schedule. I even was out on a walk once and saw Peyton(my sister), I forgot about being sad for a while.

Casey got back on Thursday night and she let me sleep in her bed with her! I was so happy to see her, I stuck to her like glue. She told me all about Summer Camp. It surprisingly sounded fun. She even told me that while she was there, she read about a camp where us K9s can come along! I hope we can go next Summer!

Today was the 4th of July. I don’t really know what that means….. Except that the neighbors are setting off huge fire-balls that are like, as loud as a herd of elephants! They look like little glowing dots in the air, then they explode!!

Tonight while Casey was taking me out for my final potty break, some neighbors set off a huge fire ball! I ran as fast as my little six-inch legs could carry me- ’till I got to the end of my leash. But that didn’t stop me! Casey was stronger though, and managed to get me to do my business.

When we turned back to the house I didn’t budge. I wasn’t about to head back into the fireballs’ lair! Casey eventually scooped me up and carried me home. I ran down to the basement until the fireballs had gone away to bother whoever else turn for 4th of July it was.

Have an awesome Sunday! Maggie the Cavachon
