I am writing to say hello and update you on my precious Maggie - she came to me in Spring 2009 (DOB: 12/07/2008).
She is the most amazing dog I could ever imagine - she is loveable, cuddly, smart (sometimes a little TOO smart!), inquisitive, and an amazing athlete.
This past summer she completed advanced canine training and came in valedictorian of her class - so now she has a trophy, medal, and certificate. She has completely mastered "sit," "down," "leave it," "heel," "crawl," and most of the time "come" - sometimes she can be a little stubborn if there is a deer or chipmunk in the woods.
She LOVES to hike, mountain bike, and run - she just loves to be in the woods. And it is almost impossible to fatigue her; the one day that we decided she was finally tired involved a day of hiking 8 miles, swimming for an 1 hour, and mountain biking for 15 miles.
She is such a perfect addition to our family. 
I have attached some pictures of her, so you can see her in action.
