Hi Everybody, this is Maggie again. I'm a four-year old now, and I have been in my forever home for three years!! Yup, May 10 is my three-year "Gotcha Day". The time has gone fast. I think back to the day I first left my foster home with my new Dad and Mom, and remember I was sort of scared. I was changing homes again, and I was worried--but I was brave. But it all worked out!!
I still have my fur sister, Oreo, who came to live with us about a month after me. We are the best of friends!! And I have my friend Lucy, my two legger sister's fur baby, who comes to us for doggy daycare. Boy, do I get happy every day when Lucy arrives! I am not afraid to show my happiness, either. Every morning, I get my morning happies. Mom lets me and Oreo outside to do our business, and as soon as we come in I streak through the house as fast as I can, with Oreo right behind me, to go find my Dad in the bedroom. Then we run back out, grab stuffies, and I run around in silly circles, pull my ears back just right, and get the zoomies. I am so happy every morning!! Mom always says, "Are you happy, Maggie?" And then we get to eat. Yippee!!
I am really bonded to Dad and Mom, and I like to be with them. I like to be outside, too, but I always want to come inside often to check on Dad and Mom. Oreo likes to be outside all day long now that the weather is nice, and she doesn't seem to think she needs to check on Mom and Dad, she just likes to be watching for critters. I like to do that, too, but I also have to make sure Dad and Mom are OK. And at night I sleep up in bed with them all night long. I stay at the bottom in my own spot until I hear them waking up in the morning. Then I come up closer so they can pet me and love me (and I give them some kisses). Oreo doesn't want to sleep up in bed with us. She likes to sleep on one of the dog beds in the bedroom, or even out in the living room sometimes!! I can't imagine that!! I would never want to be in another room from my parents!!
Every day is fun for me. I'm glad that the ice is off the lake again so now we can swim! But I did love to play in the snow in the winter, too. We always love going for our daily walks, and me, Oreo and Lucy love to run, wrestle and play together. We enjoy keeping an eye on the chipmunks, rabbits and squirrels (and we would like to catch them). Of course, we still like going for rides on the Ranger ATV, and we get really excited to go for evening Jeep rides and see deer, wild turkeys, geese, swans, rabbits, squirrels and other dogs. We never get tired of all these things.
I'm a happy girl, and I like to be a little goofy, too. Dad and Mom call me their goofy baby brain and I make them laugh a lot. I'm a long, tall girl, too, and they call me their runway model. I love it when they tell me how much they love me, because I love them so much, too! I am so glad I got to be a RAGOM girl and they helped me when I needed a new family!
There are some pictures of me below.
Love,
Maggie May
Me and my sister, Oreo.
Do I look pretty in my Easter flowers?

Mom, how did you know I buried my bone?!?!
