I LOVE my new fence!

Chillin in my new yard!



Napping in my new yard!



I was on the prowl for something that walked by outside my fence. Mommy laughed because of my tongue.



See my hair standing up on my neck. Mommy called me Monster Maggie.


I have had so much fun in my new fence. Mommy and Daddy laughed at first because I was afraid to go out by myself. I have been so used to being on a rope that it felt weird not having the rope attached to me. But I quickly adapted to it.

Mrs. Jennifer and Mr. Sean came over Saturday night for a quick visit. I took them outside to show them my new fence. (Daddy had only been done with it for about 30 minutes.) I had a big meltdown with Mommy. I ran all around and growled so big. It was really funny. My "MD" was so big that it wore me out. I ended up going to bed by myself super early.

Sunday morning was wonderful. Mommy and Daddy had breakfast outside while I enjoyed sun shining. The weather has been so wonderful that Mommy has kept the back door open all day so that I can come and go as I please - good thing to because I went in and out about 400 times yesterday.
Well - gotta go back outside. Daddy is working to repaint his grill and I must help!

And that's just the dog's life!

Noah Pics

What is wrong with this. Mommy keeps asking me to give Noah updates on MY blog. She created a blog just for Noah, but does she use it... NO! She asks me to use mine. I am not sure about this. I might have to vocalize my opinions.

Since I am already posting about Noah, I guess I can give you an update. All he does is eat and sleep. He did manage to sleep the entire night last night. That was very good for Mommy because she did not have to wake up. I kept an ear out for Noah though!

The best part about having Noah around is all of the people coming to visit. We had a pleasant surprise this weekend by Angie, our cousin. Angie lives in North Carolina but happened to be Nashville and decided to drive down and visit with Grandma. Angie and Aunt Audrey both came over Saturday night to meet Noah, and play with me of course.

Mommy does fuss at me for my barking, but it does not seem to bother Noah. Just because we have a new baby in the house does not mean that I have to stop protecting my corner of the neighborhood. If anything, it means that I have to protect it even more.

Here are a few pictures of Noah:



Mommy, Daddy and Noah (Where is Maggie?)



Noah sleeping like always.



Aunt Audrey meeting Noah for the first time.



Angie meeting Noah for the first time.

Even though Daddy and I both have red hair, you can see that Aunt Audrey and Angie both have red hair. Noah was destined to have red hair!

And that's just the dog's life!

Pray for Grandma

My Grandma Dison is in the hospital. Mommy is really worried. Grandma has not been feeling good and finally hit a point where she could not breathe very well. Nina and Aunt Audrey took her to the hospital on Thursday where they decided to keep her for the weekend.

She has lots of fluid on her lungs and now they think she has a heart murmer. Mommy is scared because Grandma has not gotten to meet Noah. Nina says not to worry because Grandma will be home soon!

Please say a prayer for her so that she feels better soon!

I love you Grandma! I can not wait to sit in your lap again! I love your petting!


This is me and Grandma at Thanksgiving!

And that's just the dog's life!

Our first family outing

Mommy and I have been very bored inside our house for the last week. You see, this is not normal for me and Mommy. We are always "on the go" whether we are going to Momma Gena's house or to Bubbles & Bells. But we have been in our house for over a week. Mommy says that we can not go "out" until Noah has his shots. I don't understand... Mommy and Daddy take me to Petsmart and I get my shots. Why can't we take Noah to Petsmart and get his shots? I asked Mommy and she said that Noah is not old enough yet. I just don't understand, but oh well.

Momma Gena, Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Paul and Jake have all been sick this past week and have not gotten to see me. Daddy said that if they all felt better (and their cooties were gone) that we could have our first family outing to Momma Gena's house for dinner. Well... we made it. Our first family outing! Jake got to meet Noah for the first time. I was so excited to finally check out my backyard at Momma Gena's house. (They have HUGE C-A-T-S in their neighborhood that feel the need to walk through my backyard. I have to protect my area!) While Jake was meeting Noah, I helped GrandDanny grill the hamburgers.

Mommy took some pictures of Jake meeting Noah. He did not know what to think. Noah had his Tigger outfit on and Jake really liked the Tigger feet.

Jake is such a big boy now. He is almost able to play with me. He really wants to play, but I am not sure. Those hands look like they will grab and pull my ears. Jake was playing in the floor with his toys and I felt the need to get my toys out also. Jake cried because he thought I had his toys. I jumped in Momma Gena's lap. It scared me.

Our evening out was fun. It did not last too long because Mommy still does not feel good but we had a good time anyway. Noah cried on the way home, so Mommy sat in the backseat with him. (I had the front seat to myself!)





And that's just the dog's life!

Thank you Daddy, GrandDanny & Papaw

My fence is almost done! Daddy, GrandDanny and Papaw have worked hard to get it finished. I am SO excited and can not wait to go out and play. Mommy said that she will take pictures when I get to explore my yard! It should be done in just a couple of hours! YEA!!

Here are a few pictures of me and Noah helping out!



I can supervise the boys from the couch!



All of the hard work gave Noah a headache!

And that's just the dog's life!

Sleep Walking Dog

Mommy says that this is me when I am dreaming about chasing C-A-T-S! Poor thing!

And that's the dog's life!

A New Beginning for Me!

My Little Brother



I am helping Mommy feed Noah!



Me, Mommy and Noah

Daddy introduces me to Noah

I help Daddy with Noah

I am sorry that I am just now able to update my blog, but Daddy has had Internet trouble at home. But we are now up and running and I can update you on the BIG change my life has had in the last week!

Noah came home Thursday afternoon. I was home and ready for them. Daddy asked Momma Gena and GrandDanny to go to Petsmart and buy me a t-shirt that said "Its A Boy". I was wearing it when they got home. Momma Gena and Aunt Dorinda were home waiting with me. Honestly, I was not too excited to see them. I think I hurt Mommy's feelings. But I could not stay mad too long. I quickly warmed up to Mommy.

Daddy brought Noah in and I smelled him. Daddy let me get close to him, despite what Momma Gena said. Daddy said that the nurse at the hospital said to let me get close to him.

Momma Gena spent the night with us. I did not sleep in my king sized bed with Mommy and Daddy. I slept curled up with Momma Gena. Good thing too because Noah was up a lot that night.

Nina spent the night on Friday night and Papaw on Saturday night. I did not sleep with Nina but I did with Papaw. Turns out that I missed a good night of sleep with Mommy and Daddy on Saturday night because Noah slept for 5 hours. But I did have a good night of sleep with Papaw.

We woke up Sunday morning with white stuff on the ground. Papaw and Daddy took me outside to play with snowballs. It was a lot of fun. Mommy and Noah watched from the window.

Family and friends have been in and out a lot. I like that. People keep bringing me food!

Mommy and Daddy say that I am being a good girl. They say that they are proud of me. Nothing really has changed. I still get my share of hugs and kisses and treats! And Mommy still snuggles with me on the couch.

Mommy keeps taking pictures so I will post them as they happen!

I do love my baby brother and I am excited to have him home with us!

And that's just the dog's life!
