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.

Camping Adventure Part 1: The Journey

This year is shaping up to be AMAZING! On Friday, Mum started packing bags and initially I was suspicious that she was going on holidays. But then I saw her packing my bag, and biscuits, lead and treats too - it turns out that dogs can come on some holidays! 

First came a reeeeeeally long car trip. I don't mind car trips that much because the shaking of the car makes it easy to sleep, plus there's always somewhere great for an Adventure when you get out of the car. The first place we stopped was a town called Ingham.

Turns out they take their trees pretty seriously at Ingham.

It was great to stretch my legs and have a cold drink after so long in the car, but it was pretty hot - since Mum wouldn't let me swim in this most excellent dog bath, I was pretty happy to get back in the car and have Cold Air on instead. 


The next place we stopped was called Cardwell. Mum knows it pretty well because she often visited it when she was younger and she lived on a boat. (She says it's a bit different now though).



I approved of Cardwell because of this:

 It's a dugong play tunnel! Mum says it's actually for kids, not dogs. Doesn't make much sense!
Townsville doesn't have a Dugong.
 So we stopped in Cardwell long enough for lunch. (I had a beef ear with liver on it. Yuuum...) Then it was back on the road for the next leg of our Adventure, but I'll tell you all about it next time!
