A tribute to Maggie the Dog
My Uncle Pat has always been very fond of dogs. He has especially loved
Springer Spaniels. When his Springer named Bridget crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago he was devastated. He went without canine companionship for quite a while. Then he heard about a Springer out in Arizona that needed a forever home. Pat drove out to Arizona and met Maggie and fell in love with her. She had been rescued by the Arizona people from a kill shelter in New Mexico. She had also been badly abused. On the drive from Chandler to her forever home in California she rode almost the whole way in the passenger footwell. Her first meaningful experience was when Uncle Pat stopped at McDonalds and got her her own hamburger. Getting a McDonalnds hamburger remained one of her favorite things to do. She adjusted well to living in California, but because she had been so badly abused as a puppy she remained shy and kind of timid. Maggie spent a lot of time in her "dog box", a comfortable dog bed in the corner of the living room. She loved to play with her cousin Cali, Grandmeowmie's Springer. She also got along very well with the kitties that come by Uncle Pat's house. When Cali crossed the Rainbow Bridge Maggie was very sad for a while, but she endured. Then when Grandmeowmie adopted Pearl, Maggie made the required adjustment again. Pearl is a Coonhound, not a Springer, so Maggie had to make a fairly large adjustment, but she did. Maggie and Pearl became buddies, and loved to spend time with each other. Maggie managed to train Uncle Pat very well. She trained him to take her to Starbucks and to share his frappucinos with her. And she trained the people at Starbucks to fix her her very own fraps in sample cups. A few years ago Maggie started having seizures. They were pretty scary - she would often bite her own flews and get all bloody. The vet tried a bunch of different drugs and doses but nothing seemed to really control the seizures. Then just a few months ago they went to a specialist in Orange County who prescribed a new drug. This new drug was wonderful! Instead of having a seizure every couple of weeks, she went two months without one! But then earlier today her medical problems caught up with her. She had a series of massive seizures and a stroke. She left for the Rainbow Bridge while Uncle Pat held her in his arms at the vet's office. She has been Pat's constant companion. He went almost everywhere with her. It was very rare to see Pat anywhere without Maggie. We are so very sad for Uncle Pat, and we will be purring for him as much as we can. Amelia |

Geez this secretary needs to go to book camp with some of those on rpcc.
That was OUR house not OUT house although, if she pees in the floor one more time, she may go in an out house. Only the second since I brought her home and there is a lot of construction going on across the street that upsets her. "MLB" wrote in message ...
