Seth and the kids have been wanting a dog for some time now. I have been able to put them off for awhile. Seth really wanted a Beagle and has been, at random, searching. Occasionally we would stop by adoption days at Petsmart and let the kids get their fix of dog petting. However there was never really any dogs we liked, so it worked out.
Sometimes just for something to do on Saturdays we would go looking. We found one online, that looked like it might be worth seeing so we headed that way...with no expectation that we would like it.
We got there and the dog was twice the size of what we thought, a little disappointed we looked at a few others. It was not for us. As we were looking this little girl was being put into a cage straight off the transport from Louisiana, having been saved from a kill shelter. We took her for a walk and, well she was pretty much exactly what Seth had been look for in size and overall look. She is only about 15lbs and maybe 15 inches high. She was sweet, and we decided to give her a shot.
Since she came straight off the transport the rescue group hadn't done any testing and what not, so we had her for a few days and then dropped her off again for her to be properly vetted.
She got shots, was neutered and got an overall check up and we got her back the following week. So far she is a pretty good dog. She is very tolerant of the kids, super sweet, she loves to be petted and so on. She is about two years old and seems to have had someone who had her inside before, because she just wants to be inside on your lap. The kids adore her and her cage. I can keep Emily out of that dang cage.
Here she is... Meet Maggie.
