This is my (our) girl Margo. Her name is Margo because that is the name our Humane Society chose for her and when we went to get a dog 5 1/2 years ago, our youngest, Ryan, felt that once named, we could not change it. So Margo it has been since.
I think she likes her name, but I am sure she prefers "pretty girl", as that will elicit the rolling on to the back for a tummy rub. She is actually quite demanding of affection, I guess wanting constant affirmation of her status.
She is a very good dog, though in the beginning, her separation anxiety resulted in many chewed articles of clothing, all of them my husband's - lucky for me - and caused many an argument as to who's idea it was to get a dog in the first place.
She has of course gotten over that and her fear of abandonment has increasingly lessened over the past years.
Many of our friend's and I guess a lot of people in general, feel that Margo is a lucky dog - having been "rescued" by our family. But it has been us who are the lucky ones.
