Hi. Yes. Hello. It is I — Magnolia, professional Velcro dog and full-time squish.

If you’re looking for personal space… I’m probably not your girl. If you’re looking for a 100-pound (ish 😉) brindle shadow who believes “next to you” is the only correct place to be? Perfect. I LIVE for together time. My favorite activity is simply existing beside my people. Couch? I’m there. Yard? I’m there. Bathroom? I mean… I can be there.

I’m what they call a gentle giant. Heavy on the gentle. Also occasionally heavy on the “oops I forgot I’m built like a small horse.” I may lovingly bump into you, the wall, the coffee table, and possibly the air itself. It’s all part of my charm.

Speaking of charm — when I run, I don’t just run. I gallop. Big dramatic strides like a majestic brindle stallion charging across the plains (or the backyard). I’ll do a few joyful jogging laps, bounce around sniffing everything, check in to make sure you’re still watching me, and then I’m ready for… you guessed it… SNUGGLES.

I do have some special talents:
*Leaving impressive ropes of slobber on your arm. You’re welcome.
*Creating large, abstract wet art pieces on your clothing.
*Sitting politely outside the door and staring through the window if you leave me. I will wait. Patiently. Sadly. Dramatically.

I sleep nicely in my kennel overnight, wake up, go potty, have breakfast, and then immediately resume my position next to my humans. Routine is great — as long as it includes togetherness.

I’ll politely let you know if I feel alone (I have thoughts and I share them). Being by myself? Least favorite. Being with you? Absolute best.

I love playtime and walks! I enjoy toys too, but stuffed ones need supervision because sometimes I mistake them for snacks. Oops. I bounce around like a joyful moose, then trot back to make sure my person is still there. You are, right? Good. Just checking.

I can be a tiny bit head shy if hands come down from above, but I always want the pets. Once I know what’s happening, I melt into full squish mode.
So if you’re ready for:
✔️ A brindle beauty
✔️ A slobbery cuddle expert
✔️ A galloping backyard superstar
✔️ A loyal “where you go, I go” best friend …
I’m your Magnolia — big heart, big strides, big love. 💕
