We have a dog-friendly design studio and on any given day there will be at least a couple of our furry friends hanging out with us. Today we\u2019d like to introduce you to Benji, a six-year-old Morkie Poo who belongs to <a href=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/our-team\/\">Abigail<\/a>, our office and design assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8469\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/D6DFBEF7-.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A Morkie Poo is a blend of Maltese, Yorkie and Poodle. Abigail adopted Benji when she was a senior in high school. Her family had always had big dogs that lived outside, and she desperately wanted an inside dog. They relented \u2013 as long as the dog didn\u2019t shed. After much research, she discovered Morkie Poos are hypoallergenic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8470\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_0625.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though her buddy is six, Abigail says looks like a puppy and is full of puppy energy. For example, Benji is obsessed with socks. He dives into piles of clean laundry, finds a sock, and takes off running. He also loves walks. \u201cBenji would literally go on twenty walks a day if we let him. He must sniff EVERYTHING, even though we usually walk the exact same route,\u201d Abigail says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8471\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_3017.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Benji has just started coming to work at MDI, and he loves all the attention. \u201cHe looks like a little mouse compared to his big coworker, Mable,\u201d Abigail says. When he\u2019s not working at MDI, he hangs out on the guest bed where he can people- and dog-watch from the window. He knows a few tricks, including \u201cgive kisses\u201d which involves licking your hand or face. Abigail says if he\u2019s mad at her, he\u2019ll turn his head away and won\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8472\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_0465.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to the Designing Dog team, Benji!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At MDI, our dogs are part of the family.
