Magpie (Formerly Known as Mindy) - Adopted October, 2008

November 2008 - Magpie's mom sent in an update on her sweet girl:

We adopted "Mindy" from All Dog back at the end of September, and when we figured out she had only been called Mindy since the summer, we changed her name to Magpie, calling her "Maggie" for a while to get her used to it. She is so gentle, loyal, and is just an absolute sweetie. She has bonded to me from the get-go. At first she was a little scared of my husband Martin, men in general being a little scary to her, but his steady diet of affection and no discipline (I get to be the bad guy) has made her relax with him. He also takes her for long walks to the lake, where even in October she tried to swim off after ducks. She also loves the dog park, where she tries to play with every single dog, from chihuauhas to great danes. In general we are enjoying watching her age backwards-as she feels more comfortable her puppyness is emerging. Training is next on the agenda. We can't thank All Dog enough for the work they do and for taking care of this sweet girl.
