Things we have learned with Maggie


Maggie is doing quite well and she is quickly finding her place among the family...we have learned that she is ok with the snow...but would perfer stretching out on the hardwood floors indoors bathing herself with the warm sun as it streams thru the windows.....loves going in the car..truck...whatever might be moving at the time....loves her new dog bed.....she is a big fan of sleeping on the pillow on the bed....thinks Dylan ought to share his toys....we tend to agree most of the time....she has finally made good friends with Mr Mooks the cat...I think she feels honored when he rubs up against her or decides to share the water bowl with her....Winston has finally decided that she is really such a nice girl....that he just doesn't have the energy to be mean to her....he has though learned to eat quick....and to get what he wants...because once Maggie gets to the bowl...well the dog foods disappears quite quickly....they play often...ride well together in the car....and on occasion you can find them sharing the morning sun...sacked out on the dining room floor...Maggie has also found her voice....and can put together a pretty good barking session when someone comes to the door that she is unfamiliar with....I think she has claimed us as her family and her home...and feels it is part of her job to take care of us.....she has become quite the caretaker...from trying to lick Mr Mooks ears...to curling up with Winston....going on snowblowing jobs with Collin....giving Dylan a quick lick when he cries....and keeping me company when I take my evening bath....
