Maggy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maggy
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie
Home: Williamsburg, Ontario, Canada
 
   We were thinking for a while about getting a dog, but I wasn't too sure about the idea because of our schedules, my husband had owned Siberian huskies in the past, he wanted something different and he always loved Border Collies. So he looked around and found a breeder not too far from us and called to make plans to go out and see the pups. I knew that day we were not going to come home empty-handed. So we went and there they were, all in their cage they were so cute. Maggy's sister caught my eye and my husband wanted Maggy. I hadn't even paid attention to her as she was the one huddled in the corner, not wanting any attention so Maggy it was who came home.

    We brought her home and everybody loved her. She loves her ball - that is the only toy she will play with. She wears you out, she will not stop until you hide it then she will find another one she has stashed in her hiding spots. I really enjoy the breed they are very intelligent dogs and I never have to worry about her wandering away. Except when she has spotted a chipmonk - she likes chasing them. I'm glad we picked her, she makes us so happy each and every day. The thing I love about her is she listens to everything you say and honestly I think she understands me. I'll say to her "Gammy is coming," (my Mother) and she gets all excited just because she knows she is going to get a treat and a toy.

    Border Collies are such good family pets some people think that they are strictly for work but they bring you much more than that. After owning her I think there will always be a Border Collie running around in our yard and our home. We are truly blessed for owning such great dogs as we do.
