“Maggie joined our family on Sunday, December 2nd. She immediately made herself at home by raiding the toy basket belonging to our other dogs Dolly and Buddy. Luckily, they were very accepting of this new little presence in their lives. The woods where we walk are a source of great joy to Maggie. She races around in the fallen leaves, up and down hills, but always just a short distance from us, making sure that her new family is still close by. Maggie loves food in any shape or form. After our morning walk in the woods, she, Dolly, and Buddy, join us in the sun room every morning to share "human breakfast!"
I think if I were asked to describe the defining moment of Maggie's arrival in our lives, it would be when we put the lights out the first night, and Maggie, who was lying on the bed, snuggled up to me, laid her head on my feet, gave a huge sigh of contentment, and fell fast asleep.
Maggie is now quite accustomed to her new family. When we first got her, she would sleep right on top of us at night, as though she was afraid we would disappear if she didn't keep us pinned down. This made it very difficult to turn over in bed! She now allows us a little more space. We took Maggie and our other dog Buddy on a trip to Charleston, SC and she loved chasing the sandpipers on the beach. She continues to bring us great joy and, as is typical of all rescued dogs, demonstrates her love and gratitude 24/7.”
