MAGGIE

Hi! My name is Maggie and my mom calls me an angel....I think that is a good thing, cause she is smiling when she says it. I am a very pretty girl as you can tell by the pictures, I am also very affectionate....I love climbing up on your lap and doing this funny little baby-step thing up your chest until I am nose to nose with you....("just precious" mom says)

Mom & Dad just sold our house cause my dad is real sick and they are going to be living in a motor home for a while...I love traveling, but mom says that I just can't be trusted doing it, she is afraid that on one of my adventures I am going to get hurt and make her cry....you see, I have this little thing that mom calls a "trait" that makes me unable to control my need to see what's going on outside, down the street, or around the corner....I try really hard to control it, and most of the time I do real good, but every once in a while I just can't help myself and I dart out the door around someone's feet and I go....fast too....I just love feeling the wind in my face, smelling all the new smells....ooooh.....I really do want to be good, but darn it, there are so many things out there I haven't seen! (blushing cutely now) 

Mom says I need a home where I have definite boundaries, a place where I have a backyard to play in, but can't get out.

I love kids too, I have a 3 year old that comes to my house and calls mom & dad "Papa & Nana"...I just love her....and I am very patient with her! She sometimes pulls my hair, and sometimes even steps on my foot, but I know she doesn't mean to hurt me so I just move away....we play chase a lot, most of the time it's me chasing her....I just love getting the back of her pants and tugging on them!

Oh! And I just adore baths and showers!! When someone is in the bathtub I always try to get in, or the shower....I shower with mom almost every day...sometimes she forgets to take me in with her and I have to scratch & scratch at the door until she remembers that she forgot somebody....(imagine that...)

I do sometimes still potty in the house, but geez, the house is sooo big, and I have to go all the way down the stairs, thru the hall, thru the family room, then out the backdoor....and once in a while I am just too tuckered out from playing to go alllll that way....But I am working on that too! Oh, and I guess I am what is called, "Alpha", I like other dogs, but Hey, a girl as pretty as me shouldn't have to compete with another pretty girl should she??? (blushing cutely again)

If I sound like an angel to you too, and you think you might like to have me as your own, then fill out that thing they call an "Application" and send it in to the nice people with SW Cairn Rescue and they will arrange for you to meet me.

I really am a Doll, mom tells me that all the time!!

Sincerely,

Maggie
