Oh what at great thread! Congratulations. I am sorry to hear that Maggie had such a horrible life, but I agree with Rachel, someone brought her to you to be healed physically and emotionally. I am so glad you and your family were able to take this little girl in and give her a great forever home.

WOW, she must think she is in absolute doggie heaven! Congrats, Tonya, and a special hug to Maggie Moo. I **love** boxers.

WOW Maggie Moo you are so adorable & sweet looking.. Looks as if you have found the perfect loving home & just at the right time..

Ms Zippy, now that you are over on the Dog Side, you need to know that we are a needy bunch....need to know any developments...any *getting acquainted* stories and definitely need more pictures. I'm personally eager to see her with Sara. I just can't get over her being a boxer and with the same coloring. Most of all I'm have all my fingers crossed that she is able to be a good dog with the other critters.

What a face! What a Love! She may have wandered a bit before finding your house, but once there, I am sure she saw the "visible only to critters" sign that says "Pet Talk household - all are welcome!" posted in the front yard. We look forward to many tales of Maggie Moo - especially the "meet the family members" ones - wonder what she'll think of Piper! And K'cee!

Congratulations, she is absolutely beautiful, and you can just see the love and happiness in those sweet soulful eyes. What a wonderful happy story.

Ya got it!

They are indeed very similar in coloring (though Sara is darker and overall just plain bigger -- not to mention MUCH more CALM lol). We are SLOWLY working on introducing Maggie to Sara and cat intros haven't gotten further than meeting thru a glass door. That said, until we are sure of reactions (both canine and feline) Maggie's primarily an outside dog (crated, inside at night tho).

Back to the "look alikes"...
My sis and I decided to put the cats in her room and switch the dogs... Sara outside, Maggie inside... then we booked it (both of us laughing, not wanting to call attention to what just took place). After a few seconds we here, "Settle down, Sa-- HEY! How'd you get in here?!"

Lessons learned from that experience:
Wildchild is a counter surfin' couch hurdler. (One leap and she was on the other side of the sofa!) Yeah... gonna hafta seriously work on those house manners. lol

Don't get me wrong, Maggie is PLENTY helpful. Why, she broke the broom in half sweeping the cobwebs out of the garden (now that's a lot of "sweeping" isn't it? lol), "weeded" the flower garden roots and all (opps! who knew the red ones were actually suppose to be there?), re-worked (read: chewed) a solar light, and brought the cat pan back to the porch to dry off (despite the fact it was supposed to be soaking in soapy water). Could any one ask for a better helper?! lol

How "handy" she is!

Sounds like Miz Maggie brought a LOT of great "Talents" with her!

Have you offered her a TOY instead of the broom?

Your family used to raise them, didn't they Jo? I was thinking you had a "boxer connection" somewhere.

Maggie Moo-ski, too cute!

Maggie was actually "Gretchen" before she was "Maggie." It was kind of a toss-up but "Maggie" won.

Thanks guys, for your wonderful replies! Thanks for welcoming our new girlie!
