I adopted Maggie Mae from Adopt-A-Pet in Shelton about a year ago and I wanted to give you an update on her.

 

She has been rather difficult to take pictures of because she tends to come bounding up to me when I try to snap a shot.  She hasn't quite learned the "stay" command.  The attached picture is from a camping trip at the beach over Labor Day weekend.  I took her and my other dog to Kalaloch for the weekend and Maggie had a blast. It was our second camping trip together.  I found that she loves napping on air mattresses.  She's a bit chubby in the picture, but has since trimmed down.  The poor girl can plump up just by looking at food.  She enjoys walks, but tires out quickly.  She would very much rather be the couch potato type of dog.  :)

 

Maggie has been an incredible addition to my critter family.  She and my other dog, Indy, are attached at the hip.  They eat, sleep, and play together.  I haven't seen them snap at each other once.  Maggie gets very upset if she can't find him.  She also seems to like my cats, although they are less than thrilled about her.

 

I found out quickly that Maggie gets car sick. That probably explains why she was less than thrilled about the ride to my house when I picked her up last year.  Thanks to our vet, she gets a bit of Benedryl before a ride, which she takes like a champ, and now seems to even like car rides.  I no longer have to lift her into the truck... she jumps right in!  She hasn't had any health issues at all and is known as a stoic little girl at the vet. She didn't whimper a bit about her shots or microchip.  I can even give her shots by myself now.

 

Thank you so much for bringing Maggie Mae into my life.  She has been an absolute dream and definitely has a home for life.  She is so quiet and well-behaved that I'm considering making her my horse show companion next year when I show my horse.
