This is the newest member of our family. She's a 6yr old yellow lab. She recently belonged to my sister Liz's father in law. He passed away a year ago. The brother in law was living in the house after the dad died, then moved out. Maggie stayed with the house. My sister Liz would go over to feed her and to play with her for a little bit. She couldn't take her because she had another big dog. She has a Newfoundland dog that is a little aggressive with other dogs including Maggie. Liz knew we were looking for a dog so while we were up in Salt Lake she asked if we wanted to see her. So Liz brought her down for us to see her. Liz lives up in Farmington, Utah which is about 30min north of Salt Lake. That's the longest Maggies ever been in a car. Liz said she has taken her down to my moms a few times but that's been the extent of being in the car for her. But she said she does fine in her kennel in the car.

I was really impressed with her.She is VERY sweet. She gets excited but she doesn't jump on you very often. But she is VERY much a people dog. She wants to be around people. Carl was moving his dad stuff into a storage shed (that's for another story!) and came back to see Maggie. He fell in love with her almost instantly. I knew he would as soon as he saw her. She is a beautiful color. Her markings are almost perfect. Liz doesn't know if she's ever had a bath but you couldn't tell from her coat. It's a very soft and clean coat.

She was a little nervous being in the car so long. The hardest part was at Hoover Dam when we had to slow down at the checkpoints. It was an hour just to get past the dam (which is common on holiday weekends because of security). She kept thinking we were stopping but then she slept the rest of the way.

She doesn't run if the door is open. She goes out and then comes right back in -mostly because she wants to be with people.Carls family has been in and out. Carls Aunt Dian and Uncle Lief drove Liefs truck down with some furniture in it. They will stay at our house till Thursday. They love Maggie too. Everyone says how sweet and loveable she is. She's hyper to see everyone then lays down on the floor.

Anyway here are some pictures of her!
