Maggie needs a name!

[Stacy]

The last few months haven't been without their challenges. There was the peeing and the pooping, playing keep away in the yard (and not the fun kind.) The dog who left the room if I looked at her and panicked if I came near her. There was the great window escape of 2018. 

Then we started training. There was that first time that I forced her into a sit and we both ended up on the floor, because begging, pleading, treats, lures, and clickers did not work at that point. And it all changed. Now my beautiful, sweet girl has the best eye contact and attention. She mugs strangers for pets on the head and treats. 

Tonight was the first of all the next best things to come. Maggie earned her CGC! And she did it like a boss. She sat, she downed, she came on command. She sat for a stranger to pet her and walked by strange dogs. And she did it with a confidence that I wasn't sure she would ever have. 

And now she needs a name! I'm applying for her AKC Canine Partners number so she can start getting all the titles. She needs a fancy stuck-up show dog name because she's just as special as all the other dogs. So if you want to throw them out there I'm entertaining all options.

I'm really just so excited for her. She's figuring this life out. There's so much good stuff to look forward to.

I too LOVE Believe in Magic.

and CONGRATS!!!! I feel like a total lazy bag of bones now - haven't gotten too far in Truffle's training - only because I'm too lazy.

I like those too! 

[DonMarie and Picco]

I agree with Believe in Magic Maggie!

[Wendy and Myla]

I love "Believe in Magic" - so fitting for Maggie!  Now I'm humming the song and I'm sure I'll have it in my head all day.

Me too!

"Believe in Magic" is a perfect name, because that is exactly what you did, Stacy, you believed Maggie was worth all the effort of dealing with the difficult, and messy, first few months you and she were together. Now you both get to enjoy the magic of a rewarding doodle/human relationship.
