Maya in Disguise (again)

Maya has taken on a new role and has been assigned to infiltrate a local high school. She believes that this hat will help her disguise herself as a teenage girl.

Maya believes that people will look past her furry face, long nose, and floppy ears as long as she acts the part. 

So, for this investigation she has learned to act like a teenage girl. She has mastered everything from gossiping to putting on makeup.

Maya the Duck

 For Maya's next CIA assignment she will be traveling Europe in disguise as a duck, CIA officials have stated "Nobody ever suspects the duck." Unfortunately, experts have found that the same is not true of dogs. In fact, everyone always suspects the dog. 

 Maya has been working on her duck impressions, she has definitely mastered the art of looking like a duck, but will she be able to master quacking like a duck? No one will believe that she is truly a duck unless she can quack like a duck.

 Fortunately, Maya is a fast learner and she is certain that by the time of her departure she will have mastered all aspects of looking, acting, and sounding like a duck. Good luck Maya, on your brave and serious mission.

Maya in Disguise

Maya has recently taken a job working for the CIA, as her first assignment she is going undercover impersonating a cat. She has high hopes for the investigation, although that is all that she can release to the press at this time.  The investigation has so far been successful and the CIA is looking to close the case. Congratulations Maya, on your success with the investigation, you are a valued agent of the CIA.

Maya's New Favorite Cat

Maya has recently discovered the wonderful world of "Hello Kitty." This adorable little cartoon cat has changed Maya's views of the entire feline species. She no longer sees cats as the enemy, she now sees cats as potential friends.

Maya wants to shout out to the world "I love Hello Kitty!" Maya would like to share her story with other dogs around the world so that they might see that they should not hate cats, that they should strive to create peace instead of conflict, and that they should befriend their feline co-workers and neighbors.

Maya's Trip to France

Maya recently took a trip to France. As it turns out Maya is very good at speaking french and she made many friends while in France. However, she does not appreciate how pretentious french poodles are and is glad to be back in the states.

One thing she did enjoy while she was in France was the all the delicious bread and cheese. She found croissants to be quite enjoyable even though they were different than anything she had ever had before.

However, her favorite thing was having a picnic in the evening on the Champs de Mars. She loved seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle! And the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower was spectacular!

Maya was so happy that she was able to take this trip to France, it is her first time visiting Europe and she would love to return some day and see more sights! Whats next? Italy perhaps, or Spain. Maya just wants to visit another place with excellent food.

Maya's Newspaper Hat

Maya has recently discovered that she has quite a talent for folding newspaper hats. Despite the fact that she does not have opposable thumbs, she has managed to be successful Maya really enjoys folding paper, and finds that wearing the folded paper hat makes her feel more like a pirate, or perhaps a sailor.

 

Fortunately for Maya, people are very interested in purchasing newspaper hats that were folded by a dog. It looks like she might spend the rest of her life folding paper hats for her loyal human and dog customers.

Maya's Trip to Antarctica

Maya's interests have taken her to the great unknown, to the vast continent of Antarctica! However, she has to adjust to the climate. The cold weather requires warm clothes, and Maya needs to always be nice and cozy! She has had to sacrifice fashion in the name of comfort and survival.

Her new warm hat will keep her cozy and safe on her adventure! Maya will now be able to enjoy the cold, the snow, and the glaciers!

Maya's New Hairstyle

Maya has decided to change up her appearance by trying out a new hairstyle. At first, Maya was concerned that purple wouldn't look good on her, but she decided to try it out anyways.

Maya has found that trying a new hairstyle has helped her to open her mind to new ideas and has helped her feel more comfortable with trying new things.

Maya the Cowboy

Maya has decided to take a break from life in New York State and take an adventure to the wild west! She plans to travel the countryside on horseback and live the life of a cowboy.

 

Maya knows the importance of wearing the proper attire for her adventure, so she is wearing her new favorite hat on her journey. She hopes to meet some other cowboys on her adventure and forge lasting friendships.

Maya the Firefighter

Maya is taking a break from being queen of the world, and has decided to spend her time fighting fires. She feels that being a firefighter will help her to give back to her community. As it turns out, Maya is a very good firefighter and she has recently been promoted to fire chief!

Maya is proud to be the first ever canine fire chief, and she intends to create a more dog-friendly environment among her co-workers. The position of fire chief is traditionally given to a human applicant, but Maya plans on creating a different community dynamic. With all the changes she is planning for the fire department it is now possible for other canines to aspire to become fire chiefs just like Maya!

My Dog Maya

My dog Maya was born in the Bahamas in June of 2008. As a stray dog from the Bahamas she is known as a "potcake." She was rescued by a veterinarian and brought to New York state, where my family found her in our local SPCA. She was 4 months old when we welcomed her into our home, she was a sweet innocent little yellow puppy. Now, she is almost 3 years old, and she is the queen of our house. That's the American dream; she came to this country as a stray and she has made herself a queen.
