This is Maggie. We got her from the county shelter in November 2013 when she was just under a year old. She ain't nothin' but a pound hound...she has the nose and ears of a blood hound, but the deep chest, slim waist and long legs of a racing hound.
When we brought Maggie home, she was terrified of everything. Absolutely, abjectly terrified. But with a lot of patience and ample tender loving care (with some pharmaceutical help), she has become a happy, playful and loving doggie. She has recently been diagnosed by one of our vets this way: "She is so sweet!" He made it diagnostically official but already we knew that.
