She looks cute. But also looks not happy.

Is Maggie smiling?

Good work on your avatar! That's a great pic. Maggie is so cute. It looks like she's smiling!

[sheilabgroomer]

What a smart alec look she has on her face. You can almost hear her saying....BRING IT ON!!!!......lol....she is darling.

Maggie is so cute. Maybe one of these days I will figure out how to do this.

[pugnacious]

How cute! Is she grinning? That's the cutest thing a dog does IMHO and second cutest is picking up their own leash.

[furrybestjob]

That is a really cute picture of her. I'm currious...with that mix what is her personality like? Does she have the "intense" characteristics of an aussie?

[Kim in SD]

Good call on the not looking real happy..lol..she was grinning until I brought the camera up to my face. Shes a rescue..severely abused, not adoptable. Until I talked them into it. 2 yrs later, shes finally coming around, I can even take her to dog parks. Shes great and yes, way intense like an aussie, shes 20 lbs. and as sweet as can be. Shes the best. The shelter had her marked coyote mix..but shes clearly not. Shiba inu and australian shepherd.

She is cute!! she is giving you the same look I get from one of my shih tzus every time I pick up a camera. She looks at me like I'm killing her or she just gives that "would you just take the dang picture mom"

[Sassy Shih Tzu]

That is so awesome. I am glad you talked them into letting you adopt her. I know she doesn't look happy in the picture but I bet she is a real lover.

Camera shy dogs!! lol. Yes, shes cuddly and sweet and super super smart. Her face is so expressive, I take her to one of my clients houses when I'm slow he has a shiba/aussie x too. The customer usually comes out to the bus and gets her while I'm grooming his dog and they play in the backyard. Last time, he walked in and looked at her, looked at me and said why is she in trouble? LOL.. (I had told her not to bark, about 20 minutes before hand)..She was still sulking and boy could you tell!

She's adorable! I think she looks like she's smiling. What a cutie!

[rapuzzled]

What a doll! I love it when dogs look like they're smiling!

[misscatahoula]

She looks very sweet! I love it when dogs smile. My best friend sent me a Xmas pic of her family and front & center is their little lhasa, grinning away.
