bye maggie.........

(here's maggie back in january, looking sad curled up on dan's coat....)

(maggie with her pal sophie, who drove her crazy. sophie just wanted to play, and by "play" i mean she liked to chew on maggie's head.)

i think we let everyone know that maggie passed away yesterday. i wanted to let folks know before i blogged about it. she got very sick (with what we now know was "bloat") and passed away before the vet could try to help her with surgery.

my mom got maggie back in 96, after my stepdad passed away. she was a crazy puppy who loved to chew on everything and everyone. she was a handful and made us all crazy at times (like when i house sat and she ate 2 different tv remotes, a metal coffee mug and other assorted items.) i sometimes referred to her as "the pink nightmare", he he he....

but she was also funny and smart and sweet. she didn't mean to eat those paper towels! she didn't mean to lay on the wood frame i was painting purple, she didn't mean to give herself purple racing stripes! ah, i wish i had a pic of that.....

this weekend i (and when i say "i" i mean "dan") am going to scan some pics of maggie for another post. she was so photogenic! like one of those wegman dogs, but better, because she could eat pop cans......
