Meet Maggie

It all started Thanksgiving weekend.  It was the first Thanksgiving I spent away from my family and our traditional Flagstaff Thanksgiving.  In a desperate attempt to hold on to a sliver of my family's tradition I made David watch the National Dog Show by Purina and do a "christmasy" puzzle with me.

Little did I know that the David had THE BIGGEST soft spot for dogs.  He oohed and awwed over the dogs so much that I wasn't quite sure who he was!  Midway through the show he got on the computer and started searching classifieds for puppies!  I thought he was just joking and that the interest in a puppy would fade in a day or two.  Nope!

The next day he spent even more time looking for dogs and setting up appointments to meet people's puppies.  He showed me dozens of pictures and finally I agreed to actually look into it.  I may not be a "softie" for puppies but I am a "softie" for my hubby.

On Saturday we went to the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall to look at a bulldog they had there.  Turned out they also had a Shetland Sheepdog puppy.  After seeing the puppy twice we were finally hooked.

So meet Magdaline or Maggie, Mags, Magster, & Maggeroni.
She is curious, mischevious, smart, & adorable.  She hops like a bunny, swats her paws like a cat, and sits on David's shoulders like a parrot.  She loves to be held like a baby, can get out of any attempt we make to contain her, and she is just plain weird.  But we love her!  Here she is....
