Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Margie. The world's most perfect dog. She takes everything in stride - that's just how she is!
Margie is a sweet, gentle soul. She is just the most perfect, loving (and loveable), smiley girl. She is so quiet, and just rolls with everything. Nothing bothers her, and she never complains. Just smiles.
Margie came to us when her person went into a nursing home, and Margie found herself in a Kansas shelter where no one wanted her - but we did! This gal was a bit on the plump side - okay she was obese at 16 lbs! But this sweet pumpkin is doing great on her weight loss plan and has already lost 2 lbs! She has several more to go (ideally we think she should weigh between 8 and 9 lbs), but that will take some time. We are looking for a home that is committed to her weight loss plan and will continue to feed her a special diet, take her on a couple of short walks each day, and give her lots and lots of snuggles.
Here’s what her foster mom shared with us:
“This sweet, beautiful girl is perfect in every way. Totally housetrained, she would rather die than have an accident in the house. She alerts you when she needs to go out by simply coming to find you and then going to the door. She's super sweet, super quiet, and loves to sit with you on the couch watching television. She sleeps with me at night, along with my 2 little Chi guys. She sleeps with her head on my pillow, and loves to burrow under covers, pillows, anything. During the day if she thinks it's nap-time... she goes to her playpen, gets in her bed, and yes... she pulls her blanket over herself until you can no longer even see her. She loves all of our 'fur kids', and it's not unusual to see this big pile of fur laying in the family room consisting of Margie, 2 Chihuahuas, and 2 cats. Our Bostons and our Frenchie are bundles of energy, and Margie just blends in with them... ignoring their childish ways.
You would think with her weight being what it is that she would be very food-driven, but she's actually not so much. She enjoys mealtimes but doesn't beg for food, and in an effort to get a few pounds off of her...she gets a limited amount of food twice a day. She doesn't beg in-between meals, and eats her kibble just fine. Margie’s good on a leash, and she LOVES to go for rides in the car! At least several times a day she gets the zoomies. You'd think with her size that might not be possible, but she CAN run (sort of). She loves throwing her favorite toys in the air, shaking them, and then chasing them. You can tell she has a funny little sense of humor, as she always has a 'smile' on her face. This sweet girl has the cutest little face and spotted ears. Once she's lost some more weight and gets closer to her perfect weight.....she will be such a stunning little girl (she's already stunning in my eyes). She's beautiful, she's sweet, she's loving and she gives the best kisses ever. “
We believe Margie is around 8 years old and other than being a bit overweight.... she's very healthy. She has a mild heart murmur that does not require medicine at this time, and recently had a dental and has five teeth left to smile at you. This special girl is located in Berthoud, CO and is looking for her forever home!
