Maggie's first week has gone fairly smoothly. She has her favorite toys which she brings to us all the time. Today we took her to Petsmart to get a dog mat, doggie brush, a frisbee and she got some bling. She now has a shiny id tag that has her name and our phone numbers. So now when she runs around the house she jingles. We are able to take her outside without putting her on a leash and we don't have to worry about her running off. Fortunately we won't have to worry about that much longer. Today Brian and his dad put up most of the panels. I must say, it looks really nice.

Maggie Mae

Yesterday we went to look at Maggie to see if she was the one. We decided to give it a try and from the moment we walked through the door she has done nothing but play and make us laugh. It doesn't seem to matter what type of toy it is she LOVES to play with it. I think her favorites right now are the Kong and a stuffed squeaky buzzard that came with her. Speaking of what came with her...a giant crate, dog bed, a shopping bag of stuffed toys, balls and blankets, the rest of a years supply of Frontline and a new collar and leash. Basically she came with it all.

Update on the fence. The posts are up and we are waiting on the fence sections. Those are not coming in until Oct. 5th. So hopefully by mid October Maggie will be chasing tennis balls all over the yard.

Tropical Storm Hanna

I just wanted to give an update to everybody on Tropical Storm Hanna. Tropical Storm Hanna came and went pretty quickly. The only damage we received was to the garden. Our tomatos and green beans took a beaten. Other than that we woke up yesterday around 8 am and it was sunny and I had to go to work to help get our websites running. So far in my six year experience with hurricanes or tropical storms they have been very low key. They seem to be just very bad thunderstorms without the thunder and lightening.

A side note...we are going to start work on putting a fence up so that we can start the process again with trying to adopt a boxer. There are a couple of boxers that we are interested in. They are Maggie May and Gracie. This time we are going to ask more questions about them being left alone and making sure that they are crate trained.
