Quote of the Month

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Things I've learned...

... about Maggie.

She loves going on car rides. But she seems to hate the cat...

She eats, drinks, huffs, and prances, all like a horse. Funny enough, when the gate to the back yard gets opened up, she sees that as her open invitation to plow right out of said gate, showing us that she also runs as fast as a horse.

She does not know the meanings of the words stop (as in, "STOP RUNNING, MAGGIE!") and move.


She does not like to go into her crate and she is determined to let us, and all of our neighbors, know this fact.



She knows how to sit and shake.

She also knows how to lay down.

And she seems to be really fond of flashlights.

I've also learned that she's an extremely smart, sweet and playful dog. She walks great on a leash and she even knows to slow down and look back to let me catch up (here again, she runs like a horse, I tell ya'). In the past few days we've had a few trying moments, like when she ran out the back gate and got about 5 blocks away before Hector and I caught her in the car. But she follows me around the house like Maisy used to do, so it's just been really nice having her here. I am really enjoying her company.
