This is my puppy Maggie. Well, okay, she's not much of a puppy anymore. We had lost two dogs and Cory and I both knew that we wanted another dog. Cory got a Jack Russel. I did a lot of research on what kind of dog I wanted before I actually picked a breed. I looked at Great Dane's, but they have so many health problems. I thought about getting another Rottweiler. I had one when I was a teenager that I got from my uncle. A trip to the animal shelter changed my mind though. I seen a solid white boxer, but his card said that he wasn't good with kids or other pets, so I knew he wasn't the dog for us. I started watching the paper for boxers. I looked in the Sunday Oklahoman and I seen an ad for boxers and it said they had some white ones. I called the lady and I went up the next day. When Maggie came out I knew she was the dog for me. She was so adorable. She had a cute little half mask on her face and a few little spots that you can see in this picture. She is such an expressive dog and absolutely funny. She still thinks she's a lap dog though. I think she gets jealous because Cory's Jake Russell sits in his lap all the time, so she doesn't understand why she can't be up in my lap. I let her up in my lap and we cuddle up. I can't take her sitting on me for too long because she has a tendency to lay on my belly, or she lays on my legs too long and my legs go to sleep. I would get another boxer in a heartbeat though. I don't think any other dog will ever live up to my Maggie though :)
Well, I'm no a big dog fan, but Maggie is precious....
