Together forever....

Its been 4 months since Maggie walked into our lives. It has been a wonderful journey with long winding roads filled with a new adventure. She has grown into a beautiful 40lbs puppy... we got her when she was only 11lbs. Her baby teeth fell out recently - I found evidence of that along the stairs and on the side of the doors which were chewed on to ease the uncomfortable feeling.
Everyday starts with a jingle of her collar when she finds a cosy nook to sit in right outside our bedroom door and tries to see if we are awake of sleeping. She is a lovely little girl who doesn't wake mom and dad up to go outside - she waits for us to wake up and then lets us know its time.
With all the training and playing - there is some training going on for us too - we are getting trained to be better human beings. I have never seen her angry or aggravated yet. There is the occasional bark - but that is not out of anger - just excitement. She never gives up or gives in. When we delay giving her food - she never stops asking for it. Following me with hopeful eyes that my hands would reach out for her bowl. The moment it actually does must be so rewarding for her - she sighs - thinking - finally they get my point!
She is wonderful to have around - always ready for a warm hug. Always ready for a good whack with her ever wagging tail. It take no effort to fall in love with her. Sometimes she is silly, sometimes naughty, sometimes crazy, sometimes just a darling, sometimes sleepy, sometimes playful, sometimes funny but always love-able.
When times are tough, her face is all I need to brighten up my day. Without caring or asking about my day - she knows I have had a bad day and comes with open arms to receive me everyday - no matter how late I get home.
May God bless her with many beautiful and healthy years of life ... and may we as her parents be able to make it the best for her.
