Introducing.....

MAGGIE

Isn't she just the cutest little thing! She joined our family on Saturday. She is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and has the sweetest disposition. She was really nervous her first day with us, but yesterday really started to show those good ol'puppy traits.
We did lots of research to make sure we found a breed that would be great with kids, didn't shed (a high priority on my list!), and would stay a medium size dog. Some friends of ours have a Wheaten and just love him, so we decided this would be the dog for us.
Connor is constantly in her face. This is so funny because he has always been a little nervous around dogs and was not too sure about getting a dog that would actually live with us. This is one of the reasons we wanted to get a dog now, we didn't want him to continue to be timid around dogs. Let's just say that Maggie is the dog for him! Saturday night I was kidding with him about not wanting a dog, and that he wouldn't leave poor Maggie alone, and he says, "But I like this dog!"

It has been a long time since I had a puppy around and today I'm feeling pretty tired. It has been a couple of late nights and early mornings trying to get her crate-trained. We took her to the Vet this morning and she checked out great! She was a very good girl getting her shots and letting the doggie dr. check her out.
And needless to say the boys are loving having a new puppy. You should have seen Chris have her dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller". The boys were cracking up, and Maggie was not sure what the heck she has got herself in to!
We love you Maggie! And I promise to not let those boys torture you too much!

Thanks again for visiting!
