MaggieMoose: Back In School WOOF & LICKS

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Confidence comes from discipline and training."
Robert Kiyosaki 

Maggie 

  Maggie lays confidently on her bed in the living room as our family gathers. It reminds me of her 'school days' of learning. As a puppy, she was trained to 'go to her bed' when she needed to settle down or get out of the way - for whatever the reason. Now with confidence she goes on her own and takes her place. It took Maggie discipline and training to achieve her confidence. We call it 'competence equals confidence'. Maggie sends kids everywhere WOOFS & LICKS as they work on their discipline & training for their own confidence back in school

MaggieMoose: Encouragement & Raffle?

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
 "There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend."

Maggie, the pup with moose antlers, Polly porcupine, Charlie (5 years old), sister Livvy (7 years old), Flint, the feral cat, and Alfonso, the big alligator 

  Encouragement is a big word that Alfonso, the alligator likes. All of his forest friends cheer him on as he works out by doing his push ups. They all gave him fist pumps to encourage him to get active by doing his push ups. Oops, he ate too much on his vacation. No worries, it happens to everybody. Maggie thinks a little encouragement means B-I-G results of happiness! WOOF! WOOF! Friendship rocks!

MaggieMoose: Happy Friendship Day

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"The language of friendship is not words but meanings."

Tommy 4 weeks & "B" 3 years (Boxer/Pit Bull mix rescue dog)

  Friendship. There's baby boy Tommy & B the dog or Maggie & Flint kitty. Two beings who shouldn't get along, yet do. The meaning of friendship is a feeling both chose to accept. This acceptance of each other binds these two together; like B accepting Tommy's baby cries or Maggie laying still when she knows Flint kitty is about to pounce on her....

Happy Friendship Day! WA WA WOOF WOOF PURR PURR
