If any of you have taken the time to check out my “About the author” page - you have seen my cute little girl Maggie.  She is a Beagle we adopted in April of this year.  She has truly been a great blessing, and she is always a good form of entertainment around the house!

She was adopted from our local animal control office, and I know that if I hadn’t adopted her, she would have been put down.  The place we adopted from was very affordable, and they even provided her spay surgery as well as her first round of shots!

I am a huge fan of adopting - it took Maggie a couple of months to settle down and be comfortable with the whole family, but her personality has really been able to shine, and she is the brightest spot in my day!

“They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.” - Jerome K. Jerome

Did you know??  A US Customs Labrador named “Snag” has made 118 drug seizures worth a canine record $810 million. The greatest number of drug seizures by dogs is 969 in 1988. IN ONE YEAR! The team of “Rocky” and “Barco” patrolled the Texas and Mexico border, alias “Cocaine Alley.” They were so good that Mexican drug lords put a price of $30,000 dollars on their heads.

Well, Maggie loves pretty much everything.  When we first got her, she was so scared of everyone and you could really tell she had a hard life prior to coming home.  We got her in April from our local animal control, and absolutely fell in love with her at first sight.  We had been searching our local humane society with no luck, so we expanded our search and we are really glad we did!

Maggie has become so much more than our pet - she is so loving and playful that we just love spending time with her.  She has developed into a well-behaved dog (although it took some time), and I know that she will continue to grow and learn new things.

She is always an uplifting dog to be around - she loves to chase after things, and she also likes to run around our basement weaving in and out of the legs of our pool table, and jumping onto the couch.  She gets going in her circle so fast you’d think she was a herding dog!  She picks her toys up and will shake them from side to side - in fact, she has one toy that is just about as large as she is, and she loves carrying it around and shaking it!
