Yeah, we posted this version of one of our favorite songs in May, the last time Maggie was quite serious with a pancreatitis attack, but we'd give absolutely ANYTHING IN THE WORLD just to have her mess our bed, and in the morning kick us in the head just one more time. Please, sweet, sweet Maggie. Please pull through sweet baby.
Oh, Maggie sweetheart, we are praying for you here at our house. Lots of doxie love being sent your way. You are a strong girl and can do this!!! Hugs and Kisses.....
Please know that even lurkers like me love Joey and Maggie and would give anything to hear that they are both healthy. We love you Mags! You can do it!
Little Miss Maggie we are crossing our paws and saying our prayers for u. Mom says she is going to burn a candle all night tonight hoping the brightness reaches across and stays with u. We are also going to offer some gifts of medicine to the four winds to the great spirit asking him to watch over u and keep u safe and strong. Love, hugs and kisses from Shilo, Sass, Maggie and Skyla from Quebec, Canada. XXX
Maggie, sweet Maggie, us gals and our mom are praying all the prayers we can for you. Mom asked her granddaughter to pray too. Kids prayers are pretty powerful. Loads of doxie kisses and hugs, Timker, Windy and Gretel
I'm so very sorry to learn of the loss of your beloved Maggie.I hope you will find comfort in my favorite memorial to a dog: "Where to Bury A Dog"
We are thinking now of a setter, whose coat was flame in the sunshine and who, so far as we are aware, never entertained a mean or unworthy thought.
This setter is buried beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden loam, and at its proper season the cherry tree strews petals on the green lawn of his grave.
Beneath a cherry tree, or an apple, or any flowering shrub of the garden, is an excellent place to bury a dog.
Beneath such trees, such shrubs, he slept in the drowsy summer, or gnawed at a flavored bone, or lifted his head to challenge some strange intruder.
These are good places, in life or in death. Yet it is a small matter, and it touches sentiment more than anything else.
For if the dog be well remembered, if sometimes he leaps through your dreams actual as in life, eyes kindling, questing, asking, laughing, begging, it matters not at all where that dog sleeps at last.
On a hill where the wind is unrebuked, and the trees are roaring, or beside a stream he knew in puppyhood, or somewhere in the flatness of a pasture land, where most exhilarating cattle graze.
It is all one to the dog, and all one to you, and nothing is gained, and nothing is lost - if memory lives.
But there is one best place to bury a dog. One place that is best of all.
There is one best place to bury a dog. If you bury him in this spot, he will come to you when you call - come to you over the grim, dim frontier of death, and down the well-remembered path, and to your side again.
And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel, they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he belongs there.
People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper, people who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing.
The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master.
