Our other canine buddy in here in the backcountry is Maggie! I am sure it is normal for a pet to have one or two nicknames, but Maggie (~3yo) has acquired quite the handful of aliases: Mags, Magdalena, Moo, MaggieMoo, Chickamoo, Chickamoo Chief, Moo Bear, The Sherriff (because she is always trying to herd the horses or cats...mostly cats!), and I'm sure there are others, but this is what comes to mind! :) She is a very interesting little personality...can be content as can be on the couch then crazy the next second while outside! A good lab and pointer mix dog!
Maggie LOVES to run! And, I think the only thing she loves more then running amuck is tending to baby animals! She actually likes to get close to baby horses to give them kisses on their nose and if we have a litter of barn kittens then you can't hardly pry her away from them! Maggie LOVES kittens!...She herds them so they stay grouped in a little pile...hours of entertainment! Thankfully, for the sake of hers and our sanity (haha), no kittens right now!
Ok, ok...I know it's silly to put a coat on a dog, but it was in the negative 20s for almost two weeks here and if you're familiar with pointer breeds, they don't have alot of hair! :)
Another quirk...most dogs stand when they eat. Mags, on the other hand, prefers the luxury of breakfast and dinner in bed every day...well, her kitchen bed that is! ;)

It is customary for all baby horse to get Moo smootches!

Maggie is pretty fun to have around...She's a good girl! :)
