In any other situation, I am a very practical person. Ruthless sometimes, but this is one part of my life I have no control on. Yeah, this 20lb, hairy little creature owns me! She is a parti color american cocker spaniel. We got Maggy after my husband's year long persuasion. I love pets too, but wasn't sure if I could care for one. Well, we got her anyway. After the initial hiccups with potty training, it was a smooth sailing ride. She fit right in. With my husband out of town a lot, her and me became best friends and pretty much inseparable. She follows me EVERYWHERE.
She amazes me. How is it possible for a little thing like her, to be capable of so much love and devotion. There is so much to learn from her... whatever happens on day one is completely forgotten on day two. She starts with a clean slate every morning! Always happy and eager to please. She is sad when I leave everyday but never holds a grudge if I am gone for too long. She is elated to go out and exercise and passes out when tired! She is very health conscious too, she stretches every morning and keeps herself as clean as possible. Her antics are so funny I could go on forever. Her latest one is holding her own leash in her mouth while walking!!!
For all those who think of having a pet, take the leap. It is worth it. They are definitely a joy.
