Hi hi. I am Smudge. Or Smudgey Wudgey, and other cutsie names my family calls me. That Gramma especially.. Always scooping me up for kisses and making fun of my name.. I have a sister. She looks kinda like me, we’re both American Cocker Spaniels, but we aren’t really related. She doesn’t like me though. I’ve tried hard. Guess I gotta keep trying. She’s a little on the grumpy side… I will be 7 months in 10 days. I’m almost a big boy now. I do a little bit of agility. But I’m not as good as my sister. I do have a lot of ribbons though. I like to snuggle with my mommy, and chewy toys.

I live for food. I’m a little like a piranha if I see food.. I’m afraid someone will steal it before I can eat it. Mommy calls me piggie sometimes. I also love to play in the water bowl. I learned how to swim all by myself at 16 weeks. Lots of people clapped for me. I thought my Mom wasn’t going to come back so I went to go get her.

I show in conformation.. people have been a little mean to me, but I know I’m all handsome. Mom says I need to grow up a little more though. Maybe we’ll try rally obedience like my sister this winter. I like to go to trials with her. I get to meet lots of people and their puppies.

I sometimes like to chase tennis balls. I don’t really notice squirrels yet. I only have eyes for my mom. I love when she comes outside for potty time with us; we all play together, sometimes a little bit of agility. I’m good at tunnels, and jumps. Well.. little jumps.

I think I have to go. Mommy is really busy and says I have to go potty again.

Lots of Love,
Smudge
