Just an update on our new member of our family. I lost my yellow lab after 14yrs of a wonderful long fulfilling life. I enjoy having 2 dogs and thought we would try a lab rescue. Specifically Rudy's Lab rescue. Well we found Maggie after keeping watch of the site, saw her an immediately wanted to meet her. It was truely love @ first site. She stole my heart and continues to do so everyday. She and Clover, my chocolate lab get along great. Clover older then Maggie was a very good teacher. Although MagMoo didn't need much training. I did take her to dog obedience 2 wks after she joined our family. We continued through a couple of sessions and Maggie obtained a AKC good citizen canine certificate. My only regret is not having her since she was a puppy. She brings a smile to my face daily she is truly a joy. We enjoy our walks in all the seasons. We take both dogs most every where we go, as long as its not to hot or to cold. Last year was the end of the swimming season. Maggie, not familiar with swimming in an above ground pool and a bit heavy she still jumped in while we were in the pool. We helped her up the pool ladder. She would look at Clover with astonishment as Clover would jump high and far into the pool. Well, this year Maggie has truly mastered the swimming pool. She is like a life guard keeping watch for us to throw her water toys into the water as she rescues each toy back to the deck. She, actually swims under water to retrieve them, she is amazing I have seen it on u-tube, but for my dog to do it, its unbelievable. She also enjoys just swimming the perimeter of the pool with us as we swim laps. When I first adopted her she was almost 100lbs her legs were bowed she was so heavy, a short walk up the street she would pant, I thought she would have a heart attack right there in the street. With exercise and a good diet she is a healthy 72lbs and solid. Thank you for giving us the chance to adopt Maggie. She is truly beautiful inside and out. We just love her.
