OMG, so cute! Yes, Magic is half maltese and half poodle. LOL, it was a fortunate happenstance that her name worked so well for a pun 😀

My dread of missing her has kept me from traveling much for the last few years. I'm getting that wanderlust though, so realizing I'm going to have to leave her with friends for at least a month soon.

The coming home will be so much sweeter for your having left, and Meeko is going to throw a fit of joy!
