Allow me to introduce myself

I never thought I’d be writing a blog. The fact that I don’t have opposable thumbs is a hurdle - it does make typing hard!  But my human companions are gone at least nine hours a day, so I find that I have a lot of free time. (Time I can spend crafting witty blog posts and learning how to type). Left to my own devices, I become bored quickly. I guess you could say I'm not very self-sufficient. Not to mention, a girl can only nap so much.

So where do I start? I feel like I'm writing a dating profile. Not that I've been on a dating site but I've seen the commercials. I'm an adorable redhead that loves long walks (beach not necessary), cuddling on the sofa and playing fetch. I'm outgoing and haven't met a human or animal that I don't like. And I guess I need to get this out of the way... I'm a dog. I don't really like that word. It's so one dimensional and ordinary and I am anything but ordinary. My companions (who I call Mommy and Daddy) coo that I look like a stuffed animal and that I'm "so expressive". I take this to mean I'm extraordinarily good looking (agents - call me) and intelligent. Plus, I'm a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. For those of you not in the know, that means I am not just an ordinary dog. I'm the dog of royals. My ancestors lived in palaces. There's even a rumor I'm allowed in all government buildings in the United Kingdom (America - get on board). Hence my blog name - The Pampered Princess. If my ancestors lived with royals, then of course they would be royal too. I certainly think I could handle a royal life. I imagine myself lying on a plush sofa all day and being handfed. Alas, I was born in America where royalty is frowned upon in principle but adored on the simple basis that most kids have an unrealistic goal of growing up to be a prince or princess (thanks fairy tales!).  I have no explanation why adults are equally as fascinated by royals, except maybe it's just the whole prestige and celebrity factor.

Back to the blog though... This is my space to write about my life. I hope you enjoy but if not at least I can put my newly learned typing skills to work.
