Maggie
by Nicolas V.Maggie is my dog. She is a female shih-tzu. She has three colours white, brown and black. She weighs fourteen pounds. She is one year old. She was given to me as a Christmas present last year. She loves me, my brothers, my sister and my parents. My father trains her to stand on her hind legs, to give a paw and to roll over. Her fur has to be brushed every day when it is long or it gets tangled, so we often cut it short especially during the summertime. She is a good dog but sometimes she is not so good, like when she chases the cat around the house or chews on our things. Maggie tries to be a guard dog when new people come over but she is not very frightening. Her favourites activities are eating playing with her toys and sleeping but not as much as my cat. She makes me laugh when she takes a bath because when she comes out she goes crazy running around in the house trying to dry herself. I am glad that I have her because it is fun to be greeted by her when I come home from school, she brings joy and laugher in our home.
