Maggie Mae

Six year old Maggie is difficult to photograph, since she is so black. Her hobby is hunting. She chases and corners the occasional possum that wanders through our backyard at night. When the backdoor opens, her keen sense of smell instantly alerts her to their presence. She'll charge out the door, and the chase is on! What a racket her shriek barking makes; it is very distinctive bark used only for this occassion. Her "language" also incudes a different yelp-bark to chase the squirrels that tease her from the rooftop and trees. All this exercise keeps her trim and healthy. Her best friends are Squeaky, our cat and Molly, Baranie and Mike's dog. draft
