Maggie the Wonder Dog

Hi. I'm Maggie. I'm mostly an Australian Cattle Dog with some terrier from my uncertain past. I know many tricks and love riding in convertibles.

I have four puppies. We all know they're actually kitties, but I'm training them to herd and be herded. They like to play dog games like tug-o-war and shake the dolly. They even enjoy dog food and a fine Milk Bone after dinner. They are all confused - not quite sure if they're dogs or cats.

My old Internet site (Maggie's Guide to the Internet) was a k-12 educational resource for many school districts. It first went live way back in 1994 (ancient in Internet years), back when the Internet was still part of the National Science Foundation. It taught many students and probably more teachers to use the Internet in the classroom. It was written up in the September 1996 issue of Internet World magazine, was featured on CNN and named an Educational Resource by the University of North Carolina (Virtual Schoolhouse), the University of Illinois, School of Education and the US Department of Education (ERIC). It was receiving over 30,000 hits per month. We took it down in 1998, but I'm the same Maggie - a little older and wiser.

The old site has been posted here under "Internet Pioneer". Please remember it describes the Internet of the early 1990's, not today's Internet with viruses and spyware - it was a simpler time.

I live with my mom and dad - sort of a joint custody arrangement. All the "puppies" are at mom's, and I go running at the East Cobb Dog Park with dad - he doesn't run, he just watches, and lets me socialize with other doggies.

My favorite books are Caroline Knapps' Pack of Two and Elizabeth Marshall Thomas' The Social Lives of Dogs.

I'm 13 and going strong. My doc says I have the blood of a six year old.

May your face be to the wind,
and your tail to the sky
Love,
Mags
