Maggie Sue growls like a dog all the time!!! She growls if she wants to eat out of a certain plate and someone else is there. There can be plates of food everywhere but she wants the one that is occupied. She scared poor Pete so bad the other day. I had to laugh at the scene. Pete was casually eating and Maggie walked up beside him. She stood there and stared at him and started growling. Pete's eyes got the size of half dollars and he spit out the piece of food that was in his mouth and took off running!! Maggie, of course, just walked away then. She had proven her point....I AM QUEEN!! She is such a brat! Gotta love her though!
