Mama – What did you do to me?
Well! Really! First of all it’s been a weird week all round. Dad’s not been here. Maggie misses him loads – me not so much … although his voice is still floating around the house for some reason and Mom seems to talk back at him. Like I say, it’s been a weird week. Nana’s

Thanksgiving 2023
What a beautiful way to spend Thanksgiving. The weather forecast was good at the beginning of the week so we got ourselves booked into Tillebrook Provincial Campground for the weekend (what clever dogs we are). Mom was working nights Wednesday and Thursday so wasn’t able to help with loading up the trailer but she gave

What the Woof Smudge
Well. Let me tell you about Smudge. Firstly, yesterday and today he’s been off his breakfast. We suspect he’s had enough of this protein (pork). Yesterday he skipped breakfast and was STARVING by supper time. This morning was the same thing. We tried to persuade him but he wasn’t interested so we took it away

Breakfast time
We always work hard on patience with Maggie and Smudge. This is (sort of) what mealtime looks like, As this is being recorded I’m not in front of them and as such they are a little confused by my position when I release them to eat. We feed them both raw from Grand Dog which

Loose Leash Walking
We’re both pretty excited whenever we go for a walk and often we forget our training and how we should behave. We also know that if just Mom or Dad are walking us its a bit harder for them to keep both of us in check…… With our combined weight of almost 100lbs and Smudge’s

Tugging at the Park
Sometimes my energy and prey drive is pretty high so Mom or Dad get the tug out for me and this helps me to burn off my pent-up energy. Without this I find myself snarling at Smudge or lunging at a passer-by. Smudge sometimes tries to join in with the tugging but today he kept

Fun on the River
The other day, Mom and Dad took us to the river/. I love the river but I’m not yet sure about the whole Kayak Thing. The paddleboard is OK…. I guess. At least I can move around on it so its not too bad from that point of view. So, there I was doing my

My boyfriend Ted is having a sleep over.. We even might get to sleep in the same bed if Mom lets us. It’s been all play and little down time since he got here. He’s only tried to hump me once and I told him what’s what…..! The thing is, Mom has moved my bed

Well. Let me tell you about my day. I nearly got a big sister. Mom and I went for our walk this morning while Dad was banging about again in the basement (it’s such a mess down there but there’s lots a pieces of wood for me to chew on so I don’t mind too

I’m not drunk. I’m not. I didn’t fall down the stairs. I didn’t. It’s really comfortable in this position. Really it is! Try it !! Love and licks Maggie 🐕 🐾

Ok!! Let’s talk about nails. I hate them getting trimmed. Mom and Dad tried with a dremal thing for a while. I called it a nightmare thing. So Mom found an old pair of clipper thingys. But I hate those. Mom bought a new pair on Amazon this week and Dad sat down in the

This evening Mom is working nights and Dad had some errands to run early in the evening so we were late going to the park. Dad put me on the 50 foot leash as he said I’d been so good today. It’s so much fun in the dark there with my young doggy eyes and

My potential boyfriend came to visit yesterday. All hell broke loose when he got here (video 1). It was great to see Mom and Dad running around the house after him. Then we played in the back yard. That was such fun. (Video 2). I like big strong male dogs. Then he went into the kitchen

Dad just turned on Dog TV for me. I went straight to my bed. I may look relaxed but I’m not. My ears are up – tuned to every sound. My front paws are on the ledge – ready to spring. My back legs – well OK, they’re not quite as ready as the rest

We’ve been off in the house on wheels thingy again. We went for 10 days to a place called Boulton Creek. It’s a beautiful area where the Upper and Lower Kananaskis Lakes are in The Rocky Mountains in Alberta Canada and 30 minutes drive from any form of cell service so that was a big

On guard at the bathroom window. Or at least that’s what Mom and Dad think I’m doing. Really I’m on Rabbit Watch. I’m a coiled spring ready to burst. I’m a rifle bullet awaiting the trigger. I’m a lioness poised to pounce. I like to take the early shift … then the mid shift …

Dad was downstairs. Mom was in the shower. I was bored. So I went and found a toy in the sewing room that was in the ‘Needs Surgery’ pile. It deffo needs surgery now … Love and licks Maggie 🐕 🐾

Well we’re off in the house on wheels thingy again. The journey out was fun. There was loads of rain and hail all of a sudden but it didn’t faze me. But What the Woof. There’s gophers everywhere within 15 feet of the door. And there’s an elk hanging out just down the way. Not

Dad, I have a great cost cutting idea. This morning we counted 13 rabbits in the first 5 minutes of our walk. Think of all the protein that is. I could eat for a month on this. I promise I’ll spit the coats out and grind the bones properly. With inflation being what it is

Happy Canada Day ! 🇨🇦 Today, Mom and Dad took me to downtown Calgary. It was soooper busy and there were so many things to look at. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming and I was pretty quiet and very well behaved (I know – What the Woof!). We sat for a while in a

This week I discovered a couple of new and interesting things. Firstly, we all know when it’s hot outside we get thirsty. Especially when we’re running around. Well. I found a short-cut to water after a walk. There’s a bowl of water much closer than my official water bowl when we come back from a

Dad we have to talk! Sit on the couch with your coffee. Let’s have a chat! You know when we first go for a walk. I’m always amped up. You know that I am checking out all the usual locations for the bunny rabbits. You have to let me get it out of my system.

Distraction! Distraction! Distraction! What great fun! Mom and Dad took me on vacation this weekend to Waterton with a house on wheels behind the truck. The first thing I saw when we got here and parked was a deer. Oh dear! Oh dear! It was a Whitetail deer I know this because I could see

OMG!! WTF!! There’s another dog!! She keeps appearing in the corner of Mom and Dad’s bedroom. I don’t know how long she’s been there but I’ve just discovered her this week. She appears quite close to the chair I sleep in. I have to say she’s REALLY pretty. Now that spring is here and I’ve

This week started with a socialization walk with Mom. I couldn’t concentrate at all. I apologize to all that saw me there being norty. I think it was perhaps I could tell something was going on. Mom wasn’t her usual calm and collected self and her demeanour was rubbing off. Soon after the walk we

Does anyone else have this good of life? My Mom continues to say how lucky I am. And then she looks back at the computer thingy and shakes her head and mumbles something about how much I’m spoiled. The amazon guy comes a lot and brings stuff and it’s ALWAYS for me! Who needs their

It’s been another fun week. Nana stayed the week before Easter and decided to hang round a couple of extra days as both Mom and Dad were working. And then the snow came and Nana stayed another day. I had great fun doing my prancing deer impression jumping through the deep snow. Whenever we were

I can’t believe it’s 2 months with Mom and Dad. I love them so much. I try to show it but sometimes … well, let’s not get into that. Dad’s started working more from downtown. Mom and I went to see him one lunch time and we went walking for a hour. It was great

This week I’ve been doing a lot of ‘Look!’ Mom and Dad have been treating me every time I look into their eyes. It’s been OK most of the time but when I’m out and about they try to distract me with ‘Look!’ It’s so annoying. I’m straining to watch a rabbit or a squirrel

Well this week has been a week of contrasts. On Monday I went to Drumheller as Mom had some chores to do for Nana who I hadn’t met. I also had a chance to meet uncle Glenn and Aunty Kandace. In June, we’re going glamping with them (whatever that means) so that will be fun

So I’ve had great fun again this week. I thought last week was fun but that was nothing!!! I have more jewellery on my collar now. But let me back up a bit. We went to Nose Hill on Sunday afternoon. Dad put me on the newly repaired 30ft leash. It smelt and tasted funny.

It’s been another great week. I’m settling well into a routine with my family. I’m learning to walk to heal much better on leash and not needing too many corrections so that’s great. My recall is still a bit of a challenge when there’s distractions especially at the off-leash park and I’m still mouthing and

Another week is in the books. This week I went on vacation for a couple of nights in a hotel. I was very well behaved and I met a lot of humans. They were all very nice to me. Mom and dad say they walked 40km in 3 days so I think I did at

Well here we are at the end of week 2. Mom’s been home this week which has been great. I’m getting better at leash work when walking. I don’t pull as much. I’ve only chased after a couple of cars and rabbits this week. Mom says a gentle leader is in my near future. Mom’s

Well it’s been a great week with my new family in my forever home. I know where to pee and poop and I’ve only had a couple of little accidents which considering all the changes seems ok. I’ve had so many walks and I’m beginning to know the routes in the neighborhood. I’ve even started
