Maggie

That's my dog's name. She is a poodle-terrier cross. Small, black, and really cute...

She is also very tolerant...

Now for some short facts about this particular pooch...

1. Maggie barks at anyone who comes near our house.
2. She becomes completely immobile when she is wearing her muzzle (this works to control the barking).
3. This dog eats only when she is hungry. I've heard this is odd.
4. Maggie likes to howl (or sing) along to my piano playing.
5. She runs away when the word "bath" is uttered.
6. We payed only $100 for her although we have spent much more on her since.
7. This dog spends most of her days curled up on a chair near the front window of our house.
8. Maggie can down a DentaStix treat in under a minute, forgetting to chew.
9. She can eat half of a chocolate cake and survive! She has a stomach of steel!
10. Maggie enjoys shredding used kleenex...gross I know.
11. Her favorite toy is a stuffed German Shepherd.
12. She has a white stripe down her backside like a skunk.
13. When going on walks, Maggie insists on choking herself.
14. She is an escape artist (she got out of her kennel when we left her alone).
15. Maggie "does her business" beside the house on the rocks only.
16. Her tricks include: sit, lie down, roll over, shake a paw, dance (on two feet), hug, kiss, and high five.

Even though my Mom originally planned on getting a chocolate lab, we like Maggie. After all, she was on sale ;)
