Maggie D ~ Our beloved Shar Pei

My First Shot Of Maggie D

Two months old Maggie quietly sat on the living room floor as she watched every visitor roam across the room. Watching her mommy closely in a distance, she remains on guard even at a young age, glancing on every strange movements. It is her first time to be left on the open with strangers. Maggie, whose eyes fixed in her mommy wherever she goes, is always protective and observant. As for my best friend, who is Maggie's mom, being patient and loving to Maggie are one the the important things that should never be forgotten.

Chinese Shar Pei is considered as one of the world's rarest dog breeds. The breed originated from China and they are also known as Chinese Fighting Dog. I somehow can't describe what I felt when I saw Maggie for the first time. At first I was hesitant. I mistook her for a Pug because of her looks specially her wrinkles but later I realized that she isn't a Pug. She is much bigger than a Pug. Shar Pei's has many wrinkles but there is a tendency that these wrinkles will disappear as they mature. Her coat is off-standing and rough to touch. Her cute ears are small and fall forward while her deep set eyes shows how protective she is.

Behaving Like Her Mommy Told Her

Maggie's mom who is my best friend is so happy to have her. It is only Maggie's first week on her new home but she seems to know her mommy even for a short period of time. Later that day when she is kinda used to other people, everyone is touching and playing with her but of course we always warned our friends to remain gentle at her.

That day we all welcome Maggie D as a new member of the family.
