More on Maggie

Maggie has been in the family for about 6 weeks. On Wednesday she will be 12 weeks. We love having her around, despite the craziness involved in having a puppy. A few friends have not had the chance to meet her yet because they decided to move far away *insert bitter sigh* so we thought we would "introduce" her on the blog.

Maggie's Likes:

- waking up early needing to go outside

- eating leaves

- playing with other dogs

- tearing all toys apart

- chasing after Ben in the back yard

- homemade dog treats from my cousin Kati

- sticks of all sizes, especially sticks 10 times her size

- playing fetch with tennis balls

- cuddling when tired

- going to the vet (isn't that strange?)

Maggie's Dislikes

- being in the crate during the day

- cold weather

- having to be calm around strangers (meaning she just isn't calm around strangers)

- being told no

- wearing a collar

Here are a few pictures from the last 6 weeks. I really need to be more intentional about taking pictures. I also want to learn how to take better pictures with the camera. These pictures are better than nothing...

She always wants to be leaning against you. It's pretty cute.

She was very "helpful" when putting up Christmas decorations

Maggie and Margot. You can see more of the cattle dog in her when she tries to herd all of her friends.

Yes, this picture is dark, but I love her eyes. So cute. So earnest.

Christmas morning she helped me unwrap my gift. How kind of her. I have never seen so many tiny pieces of paper.

She also was on team Jen and Joe during The annual New Years Eve The Office Trivia game. Pretty sure she is the only reason they won again this year.

She is FULL of character and we love her.
