I love to chew on things.

Chewing is great fun.



I chew on my toys.



I chew on the grass.



I chew on my Daddy.



I chew on my fox. I chew on my feet. I chew on my Mommy's feet.



Anything that moves is fair game. So is everything that does not.



May I chew on you?

the joys of puppyhood

A list of happy things by Maggie.


I love to lay on long laps and take short naps.

1. Everybody loves me wherever I go.
2. My life is very simple: Sleep, wake, pee, eat, poo, play, pee, play, pee, eat, poo, sleep--repeated 4 times a day.
3. I have lots of toys and flip flops to attack and chew.
4. I never have to clean up after myself, someone follows me around constantly picking up my messes.
5. Everything is new. What's this? What's this? A flower? Is a toy? If I chew it, will it squeek? Is it food? Will it bite back?
6. Belly rubs. Mmmm belly rubs. I love belly rubs so much I bite the hand that rubs me.
7. My ducky. Oh how I love my ducky. We play "kill the ducky," then I cuddle up to him in my cave when I nap.
8. Ice cubes! How fascinating.
9. I get treats for doing simple things like sitting, running, and being quiet, which is essentially doing nothing at all.
10. My daddy didn't want me to be a "couch dog" until he fell in love with me and couldn't resist scooping me up to be with him.


Andrew holds me on our first weekend together. Aren't I cute?

The Voyage of the Beagle

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a beautiful little princess who needed a castle.


"At long last, we meet again!" says the fairy godmother, who wisks away the Princess Maggie on a long journey.


During her travels the beautiful princess takes a nap. She makes some new friends there.


But upon her grand arrival in Ye Olde Havertown, she becomes smitten with a duck.


"Please, can't you see we're busy?" she declares to her loyal subjects.


The duck woos the princess and they fall madly in love.


They marry and live happily ever after.
