About Maya

My name's Takas Neşeli, but everybody just calls me Maya. My Mum named me that after one of those funny dogs with no scent from the TV. That's an anagram for 'My Amazing Young Anatolian', whatever an anagram is. I'm five years old, I weigh 55 kilos, and I am fawn with a black mask, but I have a white tail tip too. I live with my Mum and Mum's pets in sunny Townsville, Australia.

Adventures at this years' Pet Expo



Pet Expo time again this weekend! It was way bigger and better than the last two we went to, plus, it took place at Jezzine Barracks, one of our favourite places. There was just one problem... Mum made me wear this T-shirt... 

Mum I want to choose my own clothes.

Unfairly sloganed T-shirts aside, I did have fun. We saw Creative Animal Portraits (my official photographer), Hear No Evil Deaf Dog Rescue, Australian Working Dog Rescue - that's who saved my newest brother Kipper and brought him to live with us - and lots more groups. I got a lot of attention and pats (which covered my t-shirt with fur, take that Mum!)

My new favourite human from Western Suburbs Vets!
I also got a special Pet Expo lunch, a whole sausage just for me! 

 

Mum usually saves the last bite of her sausage for me when we are at special events, but her idea of one bite and my idea of one bite are two very different things.

Mum, there's no meat on that. Put another sausage on it!
 Mum wouldn't let me snorkel in the water bowls though. She told me to quit playing in the water, and stop drinking it all so the other dogs could have some.
What? That sausage made me thirsty.
There weren't just dogs at the expo, either!


All in all it was a pretty fun expo, and already I can't wait for next year!

Happy birthday Mum!


This weekend it was Mum's birthday! She got a whole day off to spend with me, which I think is a pretty great birthday present. We went to the Strand and hung out before paying a visit to Work so I could get lots of attention and cuddles.

The Strand has awlways been one of my favourtie places to have an Adventure. There's lots of things to sniff...


All sorts of interesting faces to meet...
 

Some interesting challenges... 
 

Some great views...

And time for snacks!


Mum still insists that we have to follow the rules on the Strand though. I still don't understand why dogs can't play in the waterpark!

Come on Mum, all the others kids are in the waterpark...
At Work, I got a chance to do some shopping.

Two of each thank you!

And say hi to the fish!



I was pretty tired by the end of the Adventure though.


I'll just nap here.

 
But we did have a great day!
