Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi Everyone!
My name is Marvelous Miss Maggie and I’m an amazingly happy Bichon who is as affectionate as I am adorable. (Now, I’m not bragging! That’s what everyone says about me!) I’m a fluffy and sweet girl of 4 or 5 weighing about 17 lbs., with a sweet face to match my sweet spirit! I love to be held, petted and cuddled. And I’m so darn lovable that someone is always ready to do just that, thank goodness! I am a sensitive girl and always know people who love pups like me — and I greet them with lots of doggy kisses.
Speaking of things I love, I LOVE to sit on your lap and LOVE to snuggle (and maybe even catch a few winks.), I LOVE the little people called kids and the big ones called adults. I also LOVE to go for rides in the car and walks. And I love ALL the things that bichons love – like ‘helping’ you do anything you want to do — and keeping you company. I also love to make Mom laugh. I do this thing that she calls the “Copacabana shake”. It starts at the top (of me, that is!), continues down my middle and ends with a shimmy (just like a dancer!) It’s really easy to get Mom’s attention when I do it because she stops whatever she is doing to watch.
Just about the only thing that I don’t love is those strange creatures called cats. Although I do love to chase them, does that count?
Mom suspects that before I became a FurKid, I probably didn’t have the easiest of lives and no one took the time to teach me ‘the basics’. I definitely want to learn, though, and am happy to show my interest and appreciation. Mom says you can definitely win me over with kindness and praise! That’s why I have already learned to come when I am called and I’m working hard on other commands too!
One important thing you should know is that I am completely housebroken (and that’s no typo!) There is something else that I want to tell you and that makes Mom love me even more. You see I have these funky teeth! When I smile (I am a very happy little girl!) you can see that I was born with teeth that are not quite straight – but I can run, jump, play and eat just fine. Mom says that they are just another endearing trait. (I’m not sure what that means but I think it means another thing she loves about me!)
So if you are looking for a sweet little girl who is quiet, loyal, well-mannered, eager to please, who will snuggle with you for hours on end and be your best companion ever, then please ask for me.
Wags and kisses,
Marvelous and Magnificent Miss Maggie
