Here's Maggie's story.
My Mom and I were walking through Petsmart on a Saturday after noon in January. Apparently, That's the day when Petsmart has adoption, and a shelter brings out a bunch of dogs and some cats, and lets people look at them and adopt them. So, Ussually when they have those and we just happen to be there, we go and look at all the adorable little animals, With no Real intention of actually adopting them. :) This Saturday was no different. So we were walking along. There were some cute dogs. Some really cute little Australian shepherds, but they did'nt seem to take any interest in us. A really cute little pup, I think he was a Chihuahua mix or something. And a Really Really Really cute little Beagle Dachshund Mix, Named, Little Maggie. There was just something about her that made me very interested in her. She seemed a little shy, but sweet and quiet. None of the other dogs really stood out to me as much as Maggie did. Me and My Mom both liked her alot. But, we eventually continued our shopping. I just couldn't stop thinking about that cute little dog! So you know how you kinda drop little hints like " Oh, that dog was just so cute." " Oh, that little Maggie seemed like such a good little dog" While we were still in the store. But I think my Mom already kinda knew. So on the way home we talked about it, And then She discussed it with my Dad, And Later that day we were going back to petsmart to make sure she got along with everyone, Including our Yorkie, Fuzzworth. And it seemed like she did! So we Decided to foster her for a week, and if everything worked out, the Adoption would occur next Saturday! So we took little Maggie Home! During that week, we found out why she was so quiet. She was coughing, and just wanted to sleep on the couch. She ended up having Pneumonia and two different types of worms! Luckily, Since we were Fostering her at that time, The shelter Payed for the treatment! She started getting better, Little by Little, and that Saturday we Adopted her. Today, Maggie is Not the quiet dog we thought she was! She is very talkative. When you've got food, " bark! Bark Bark! " When she's gotta go, " Arooorooroo bark bark!" When your'e making her wait, " Arooo Whine" LOL She's so cute. And she's really sweet too. She is a Skittish around people she doesn't know, But once she gets used to them, she wants them to pet her, " Bark! Bark! Arooorooroo Bark!" LOL
The funny thing is, the nickname we gave her is " Maggie Moo". I think she took it a little too seriously, Because sometimes, She eats grass! LOL
The above picture is from the other day, when we were chilling out together on the front swing after some Training time.
Like any dog, or Person, She's not perfect, But she is a Really Really Great dog to me :)
