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!
