Yup, Maggie is definitely going to need plenty of playtime. I'd suggest engaging her in an activity that takes advantage of some of that boundless energy. She sounds like the type who may enjoy a game of *catch the ball*. Then too, the more you work with her on learning a few commands, those inside manners should improve. Sara perhaps has you all a little spoiled when it comes to living with a dog, but don't dispair, Maggie just has lots to learn and in the end you'll find it to be a blessing because Maggie has lots to teach too.

The *switching the dogs* story made me smile. My neighbors and our family once became the owners of sibling puppies. One day about 3 months into raising Bailey, the neighbors decided to do a switch on me. It took about 10 minutes for me to figure it out, all the while they were having a good laugh.
