MADDY-n-ME

Hi, welcome to the Maddy-n-Me page. This page is primarily devoted to my dog, Maddy. She is a three year old black lab mix. I recently adopted her from the Boulder Valley Humane Society, and we have become great friends!

This photo was taken in my car. Maddy LOVES to ride in my Honda. Whenever I go to the garage she wants to go with me and get into the car. I love it when she rides with me places, however now that summer is approaching, I only take her if I know she won't have to wait in the car for me.

Maddy loves to go on hikes--especially if she doesn't have to wear her leash! This is a path near my home that we tried out recently. The photo is a little bit dark since it was taken at dusk, but it still conveys the beauty of the area!

Here is Maddy on another hike in Chataqua Park in Boulder, CO. She loved investigating in and around this river. We happened upon a snake (to be uploaded later)--which I thought was harmless, but some friends saw the photo and thought it might have been a rattlesnake! OOPS! (no wonder Maddy sniffed it and then jumped back...)

Maddy has very expressive eyes. She is such a joy. She loves to play with her "squeaky toy", and likes to get one of my socks and stand there with it looking at me! Each day she becomes more comfortable with me and I find another facet of her personality, which usually cracks me up! She sighs a lot, and snores.

Some thoughts: I strongly advocate adoption from an organization, like the Humane Society, but it is something I didn't rush into. I studied the profiles of the dogs I thought I would like to adopt, and was fortunate to find Maddy. She is not a barker, unless she is having a lot of fun, which was an important quality to me. She is playful, but not mischevous, like a puppy. She was trained very well by someone, as she knows the standard commands, and was potty trained (another IMPORTANT quality to me!) If you are considering a pet adoption, especially a canine or feline, I would recommend researching (possibly via the web...) the type of animal and the responsibilities faced with pet adoption. I was fortunate Maddy wasn't abused, but some pets may be aggressive towards, adults, children or other pets as a result of their former upbringing. Please select carefully as it is sad when pets are returned to the Humane Society (or other establishment) because the adoptive family discovered a quality about the pet they disliked. Maddy is a part of my family now, so I have to accept the good with the bad (like when she tracked clay-mud ALL over the new carpet!)

That is all the Maddy photo's I have for now, but this site is definately slated for improvements--feel free to check back.
