Maggie The Lioness

She looks like a lioness...

when sprawling in the backyard or focused on chewing a bone. Look at her paws, those sharp claws and teeth--yep, could be a ferocious hunter!

Oh, but if she chases the bunnies... it's only because she thinks she can play with them. She never harmed our parakeets. When the baby fledglings try to fly and fall she would rush there only to nudge them as if to say get up and fly.

Maggie's getting up there in years, but still a puppy at heart! She is intelligent and so very human. God was looking upon mankind kindly when he created dogs...

St. Francis Feast Day SPECIAL!

So glad we had this picture to prove Maggie, in fact, had been a puppy once...

She grew so fast we don't have much memory of her as a puppy; that stage probably lasted only a few weeks!

Literate Dog?




Did Maggie really get the message on her new friend's paw? Definitely, she is curious as to where the squeaky noise is coming from! She just loves her plush friend and carries it around inside the house and even outdoors. At times she rests her head on her teddy bear- just like all of us little girls.

Only difference is that she will not be satisfied until she traces the location of that noisy lump of a squeeky and removes it. But, her love does not deminish for that poor little torn up pal- with stuffings spilling out.

She just loves anything tropical and especially, coconut. She would work hard at the fibrous sheath and the shell to get to the soft white pit, which she is crazy about. Watching her do that always makes me wonder!
Isn't that what GOD does? Isn't he always trying hard to get through our complex vanity and pride mesh and toughest greedy possessive minds, to get to our pure souls trapped inside?
Maggie loves Ice. The way she tries to chew the cubes without letting them slip through her mouth... is lovely to watch. You can see- she got her prize-a big chunk of ice. She would keep at it for hours-taking short breaks. She is very good at using her HANDS effectively!
