Corregid mi español, por favor :)) - Issabela, JUN 9, 2010
personalmente usaría "estaba tan animada" pero no está mal usar "era tan animada". - Mokay, JUN 9, 2010
Not sure if we need Ser or Estar here Issa? I opted for estar, found an example here - http://es.thefreedictionary.com/animado - but of course I could be mistaken. :P - galsally, JUN 9, 2010

Mi perro está muy animado cuano ella vea una ardilla o un gato.

My dog is very excited when she sees a squirrel or a cat.

Please correct if necessary - should their be a direct object pronoun before "vea" and would it be "les"?

Have you seen the animated movie "Up"? Squirrel!!! jeje - Lrtward, JUN 9, 2010
You don't need a direct object pronoun if you have already written the nouns themselves. If you omit 'squirrel' and 'cat' you would say 'cuando los vea' I think. You don't need or want 'ella' either unless I am much mistaken! - galsally, JUN 10, 2010
Maybe pm a native or advances spanish speaker, because I'm not sure either about your use of the subjunctive 'vea'. Sorry, not good enough to tell you for certain. :( - galsally, JUN 10, 2010

Second try

Bien, en realidad, no duermo bien en la noche y la única cosa que me guarda animo es visitar SpanishDict.com.

Well, in reality, I do not sleep well in the night and the only thing that keeps me lilvely is to visit SpanishDict.com.


Soy más animado cuando dormir bien toda la noche y despertarme a una hermosa día (con algún tiempo para el Spandict.com, por supuesto).

I am more cheerful when I sleep well all night and wake up to a beautiful day (with some time for the Spandict.com, of course).
