wow, what kind words :) This is Kelly, new and happy owner of Miss Maggie Mae. I finally logged on today to find a plethera of information and links..a little overwhelming at first, but I'm happy Stella told me about BPO.
Maggie is doing fabulous! We couldn't be happier. As soon as we get a working camera (both digitals have died in the past week!) I'll post some pics of her :) She is very well behaved and adjusting better than we expected. She seems so comfortable here even after just 6 days. She's getting very playful, which is nice to see :)
Again, thanks for the support!

I am sure you will like it here ;D

Well we were without a camera for the longest time, so I apologize I didn't post any pics until now! Maggie is doing well, still some issues we haven't quite worked out. We had her spayed a few weeks after we brought her home and she recovered from that well.
She's still gets REALLY hyper when daddy (sometimes me now)comes home, still growls once in a while (although this has gotten loads better), and she seems to pee in the house a lot. I can't tell if it's a nervous pee (I have seen her do that), but other times when she doesn't want to go outside (cold!), she'll pee just when you're trying to get her out the door! Can dogs have an overactive bladder, or is this a behaviour problem? Even with those few things, we love her to death and couldn't be happier. Thanks for all the kind words!
-
She is a looker! No suggestions to help with the peeing problem, but I would sure put up with it to have a beautiful girl like that ;) Haha
-
My Maggie has an incontinent problem and takes pills for them to help her hold her bladder. She's been on them for about 2 years now I believe and she'll be on them for the rest of her life but they have her tremendously, she used to pee in her sleep. Maybe ask your vet about that?
-
She is a gorgeous girl.
Could it be when you're trying to get her out the door she's submissively peeing? Some dogs get very nervous when you try to pull/push/shove them anywhere. ;) :D
-
You know what I just realized? All the picture I posted of Maggie show her in some silly outfit! (hat, sweater)..she's not our little dress up doll, I promise :) Will (Fiance) says he's never seen a dog that minds less when you cover her up, put hats on her, etc. It was chrismas, what can I say ;) I posted one more pic too.
I think at this point the peeing is both a submissive behavior and when she is overanxious or upset. We will try making pottying a more fun experience (special treats). Since the majority of the time we've had her has been ARTIC to her (she JOLTS back in the house!) it probably has never been fun :( Come on spring!!
Hi Stella! The murmur was present, but they didn't find any enlargement of the heart or anything else detrimental at this point, so we were told to just monitor it at this point. In the spring when we head to the vet I'll find out if that means annual ECGS, or biannual...?
Miss Maggie is a cuddle-bug and she thinks she's little and doesn't knock the wind out of you when she wants to be near you (or ON you)..its so cute.
-
Awwwe, what a total cuddlebug. Gunther used to be like that but has given the position over to Posey. ;)
I just love your avatar. She has the prettiest blue eyes. :)
-
Awww Maggie! I'm so glad that she is doing well and I agree, her skin looks amazing & she looks so happy.
