I am exhausted.

Our dog is awesome. But she has been a lot of work in the first few days. We named her Maggie, even though I sometimes secretly call her Taco. What's so tiring is constantly trying to figure out what she wants.

She gets up at 5:30 whether we like it or not, and will sometimes whine while looking into the middle distance. I've narrowed down the possiblities to 1) our house is haunted or 2) our dog is retarded.

Either way, she's been a lot of fun. I have more stories, I just can't think of them right now. On account of being so tired. But here's some pictures of her.




During the day, she usually hangs out in her crate. This was awesome though. She slept like this for a good 10 minutes.


This is what Maggie looks like a lot of the time. A low thyroid condition meant she lost most of the hair on the back of her thighs. It ought to grow back. But when she sprawls out on her side, with her ribs, hairless belly and butt on display, eyes half closed and her mouth hanging open, she looks like a dead dog on the streets of Calcutta.
