It's All About Alex

Hello Again

2010-08-23T13:15:00.000-07:00

Well, hello again, Alex is back. Let's see... before I talk about myself, how's everybody? I hope the world is treating you right. There's so much to say and so little time. I've been so busy, I only get more than 15 hours of sleep a day. I just have to catch up.

To start with, here's more of my Aunt's creation of me as human. As you can see, I have grown a lot. I'm a big boy now. I'll be 5 years old in December. If you wonder who the brown haired little girl in the artwork, that's Lilly as human ( my Aunt's very good girl Cocker Spaniel)

Well, it's been almost a year and a half since I last posted. Actually, I forgot I have my very own blog. I'll be four years old this coming December, and I must say, not much had changed. Just take a look at me...

Very mature looking, right? I still love my everyday walks and occasional visit to the park nearby. A squirrel on sight even makes my day more interesting. I still like certain dogs I see on my walks and there's some that I don't like (the bigger ones) But there's a real giant one I saw on one occasion that I really won't mess around with. I truly thought it was a horse. I was smart that way. I just looked at it and went my way. I just pretended I was busy sniffing around. There are times that you just have to make wise choices like that for your survival. My mom was so proud of me, mind you.

The drawing above is one of my Aunt's creations. It's me and Zia, my very first best friend. I don't see her any more though.

Gift From River

Thank You River! I was glad you were my secret Santa. I'm enjoying all the toys and play fetch with them all the time now. Hope you see this post.

Just A Short Poem by Me Of Course

2007-09-22T10:22:00.000-07:00

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE…GRASS

Are you up? Are you up? Let’s get up and smell the grass
The sun is out, It’s warm out there, it’s time to be out and about
Have your coffee, get my leash and I’ll wait as you want me to
But please don’t be long, cause there's a lot to be missed.
Sniff, sniff, sniff oh what a wonderful world.
I smell the grass, I smell the dew, and everything else that I could
Hello little dog, hello kitty cat?
How long has it been that you’ve all have been out?
Got to go, got to sniff and let me take it all in
Because you’ll never know when I’ll be out again
Whose out there? Whose been there?
Whose been all over my domain?
Been to the alley
And around the block
Now what’s left
Is my favorite park
Sniff

Got To Say Something

2007-08-31T12:03:00.000-07:00

Trouble, Trouble, Trouble, What a lucky boy.
Been pampered all his life
And look what he gets...12 Million Bucks
I could see it now ...
All these other Maltese in the dog world
Trying to be friends with him

Just one word of advice
Be cautious!
Pick your friends, be smart and you know whose sincere
Look at them straight on the eye
(Cause I know you're capable of)
Ask them " what you can do for me that I can't"?
All you need is some true friends who don't care about your cash.
P.S.
I think we're cousins.

Christmas 2006, I was Santa

2007-08-27T11:27:00.000-07:00

There's not much to say.
Didn't like the red hat.
Took it off,
Fell asleep.
That's all there is to it.

Sometimes, I Just Have To Give In

2007-08-27T11:17:00.000-07:00

Well,every now and then, I just have to give in. Got to be in with the crowd you know. To be honest with you though, lately, my mom puts my shirt on so I don't get dirty in the park. It keeps the dirt off . For some reason, everything seems to cling on me as I run through the dirt. As long as I look great in it, I could wear one. This orange shirt is one of my few favorites. It doesn't look girly and it's very comfortable. I've had it since last fall. I'm very successful keeping them off if I don't like them anyway.

Halloween 2006

2007-08-27T11:07:00.000-07:00

Now, of all the costumes that's out there, why a pumpkin?
There's more appropriate choices for me than that...
An angel maybe?

Trying To Find My Muse

2007-08-27T11:02:00.000-07:00

It just doesn't come you know. Sometimes you need an inspiration...

It could be a cat's meow
Another dog's bark form the neighborhood
A flock of birds flying across the sunset background
A squirrel climbing up the pine tree.
The smiling faces who wants to sweep me up
The other dog in the park who doesn't want to play with me
Or the other big dog who thinks I'm a rabbit that's up for a bait
Or better yet, just the plain adorable look from my favorite human in the whole wide world who keeps me well fed, bathed, exercised, socialized, cuddled
and groomed and so on and so forth and all the good things that make me sing " What A Wonderful World"!

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?

2007-08-27T10:50:00.001-07:00

OK, OK, you all might think I'm a spoiled little brat. I'm actually not. I do get away with a lot of things I admit. I get disciplined and timed out like every other else when I misbehave. As the guru says "Exercise, Discipline Then Affection" .

Now that you all know my pet peeves and what nots, you'll get to know the good side of this cute angelic face.
I'm very intelligent- I could figure out what everyone's up to. I'm always one step ahead...Unless you change the routine on me.
I looove my favorite person- I keep an eye on her like a hawk. Anywhere she goes, I'm there. Even when I'm walking ahead of her. I make it sure that I look back and she's on my eye range. If I don't see or smell her on my proximity, I stop, look back, and no one else can force me to ever walk ahead again... Unless, I see a squirrel passing by.
I don't eat much. I could eat once a day. You could have all the kibbles in my bowl, if I don't want to eat, You'll see it untouched when you come back long after you leave... unless it's chicken with rice with some other flavorful human food thrown in it.
I love to be bathe. I don't wiggle and let you just make me clean and smell good...cause I know what comes next- My salmon treat.
I sleep a lot... so you can do your own thing. I'll be on the sofa, or by the window getting some sun, Or pick my favorite toys, play ball by myself and leave you alone... unless I'm ready to play fetch. I'll just bark till you give in.
You can tell me, "I'll be back" and I'll stay put or go under the bed, cause I know you have to work or have to go without me... but I know when it's time for me to be out there to smell the fresh air. I'll just look at you eye to eye right in front of you... till you give in.
These are just my few assets. I could tell you some of my tricks too but that's not necessary. I really have to know you to see them.

Ever Wonder?

This is a painting of Zia,Lilly and I as humans. My Aunt painted this.
I'm the one on the left, Zia in the middle,
And Lilly on the right who just barely reaches the table.

A Gift from My Aunt

Doesn't it look like me? She even made my striped cat.

WHO WANTS THEIR SHIRT ON?

2007-08-26T16:36:00.000-07:00

I DON'T!

WHO WANTS TO WEAR ONE WITHOUT THEIR PANTS ON ANYWAY?

THEY ITCH

THEY'RE ALWAYS IN THE WAY

THEY'RE BOTHERSOME

THEY GET HOT AND LOOK SILLY

My Friends

Oh my girlfriend Zia. She's in Southern CA now. I miss her because she loves to run and wrestle like I do. We had a great time together in the park. She used to put her front paws inside the water bowl after runnng around. It was so cute. Zia is a Maltipoo. I remember her with her Hawaiian shirt on.

This is Lilly my Cocker Spaniel cousin. Do you see her? Sometimes I don't. Especially when we're playing on my mom's chocolate carpet. I'll be looking for her around me and all I know, she'll be just sitting still on the carpet ready to pounce. We love to run around non stop and wrestle with each other... non stop too. But I hate to say this- I'm older than her but she's outgrown me by lots of pounds. By the time we're done after a few hours I can't walk any more and want to get away from her for a few minutes. But she'll come back to play again. That's when I get grouchy. I'll just tell her to leave me alone. I'll go to the highest place and rest for a minute or two. I'm the older one anyway, so I rule. Lilly is a good girl, everybody says. You can do anything to her and she'll let you. You can hold her upside down and sideways and you won't hear a thing from her. She'll just be still until you're done. NOT ME. I don't want to be picked up when I'm not ready. I know it's bad. But I just don't. Every one's suggesting that I need to stay in LA or New York with you know who for a month to make me a better boy. We'll see.

I have other friends in the park that I play regularly. All we do is chase each other around. They don't get as dirty as I do though. That's why I keep my hair short. It keeps me from bringing all sorts of stuff home.

This is really exciting. My very own blog. But I assure you, it will not be all about me. Of course I'll be talking about me initially. You'll get to know me better this way and eventually we'll all get to know one another on this wonderful site. Let's see, I'm a Maltese, you probably guessed it by now. I'm a Capricorn, born on December 27, 2005. I'm sure I have some siblings out there being pampered by some humans who love to share their love and affection to cute little creatures like me. I often pondered the thought that someday I'll meet at least one of them. I'm just curious how they've been behaving. Well, someday... maybe. Hope every one's okay.

As you can see, I'm starting this post. See the computer in front of me? I'm just taking a break. Every now and then, I'll let my mom share her ideas. After all this site is for all the small breed dogs out there who I'm sure will benefit from all these. Let's get started.
