Maggie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maggie
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Shih Tzu
Home: Maryland, USA
 
   Maggie is our little miracle girl. She adopted us eleven years ago. Not long after she came to live with us, we noticed that she was behaving strangely. It turned out that she had an abnormal abdominal shunt that was causing her to wander aimlessly, bump into walls, and drool constantly. This gave us a real scare - we thought we were going to lose her. She came through her surgery, though, with flying colors. In fact, the people at the hospital called us and asked us to take her home a day early since her barking was keeping all of the other patients awake.

    Since then, Maggie has been our "daughter", best friend, and little Princess. She loves to sleep in our (or is it her) bed, under the ceiling fan. She is always asking for snacks. She will stomp her feet at us and at anyone who comes to visit. Strangers think this means that she is mad, but it just means, "Run around and play with me." We love her very much - love that is returned many times over every day.
