A tribute to Maggie the Dog

He has especially +AD4APg- loved +AD4APg- Springer Spaniels. When his Springer named Bridget crossed the +AD4APg- Rainbow +AD4APg- Bridge a few years ago he was devastated. He went without canine +AD4APg- companionship for quite a while. Then he heard about a Springer out +AD4APg- in +AD4APg- Arizona that needed a forever home. +AD4APg- +AD4APg- Pat drove out to Arizona and met Maggie and fell in love with her. +AD4APg- She +AD4APg- had been rescued by the Arizona people from a kill shelter in New +AD4APg- Mexico. She had also been badly abused. On the drive from Chandler to +AD4APg- her forever home in California she rode almost the whole way in the +AD4APg- passenger footwell. Her first meaningful experience was when Uncle +AD4APg- Pat +AD4APg- stopped at McDonalds and got her her own hamburger. Getting a +AD4APg- McDonalnds +AD4APg- hamburger remained one of her favorite things to do. +AD4APg- +AD4APg- She adjusted well to living in California, but because she had been +AD4APg- so +AD4APg- badly abused as a puppy she remained shy and kind of timid. Maggie +AD4APg- spent +AD4APg- a lot of time in her +ACI-dog box+ACI-, a comfortable dog bed in the corner +AD4APg- of +AD4APg- the living room. She loved to play with her cousin Cali, +AD4APg- Grandmeowmie's +AD4APg- Springer. She also got along very well with the kitties that come by +AD4APg- Uncle Pat's house. When Cali crossed the Rainbow Bridge Maggie was +AD4APg- very +AD4APg- sad for a while, but she endured. Then when Grandmeowmie adopted +AD4APg- Pearl, +AD4APg- Maggie made the required adjustment again. Pearl is a Coonhound, not +AD4APg- a +AD4APg- Springer, so Maggie had to make a fairly large adjustment, but she +AD4APg- did. +AD4APg- Maggie and Pearl became buddies, and loved to spend time with each +AD4APg- other. +AD4APg- +AD4APg- Maggie managed to train Uncle Pat very well. She trained him to take +AD4APg- her +AD4APg- to Starbucks and to share his frappucinos with her. And she trained +AD4APg- the +AD4APg- people at Starbucks to fix her her very own fraps in sample cups. +AD4APg- +AD4APg- A few years ago Maggie started having seizures. They were pretty +AD4APg- scary - +AD4APg- she would often bite her own flews and get all bloody. The vet tried +AD4APg- a +AD4APg- bunch of different drugs and doses but nothing seemed to really +AD4APg- control +AD4APg- the seizures. Then just a few months ago they went to a specialist in +AD4APg- Orange County who prescribed a new drug. This new drug was wonderful+ACE- +AD4APg- Instead of having a seizure every couple of weeks, she went two +AD4APg- months +AD4APg- without one+ACE- +AD4APg- +AD4APg- But then earlier today her medical problems caught up with her. She +AD4APg- had +AD4APg- a series of massive seizures and a stroke. She left for the Rainbow +AD4APg- Bridge while Uncle Pat held her in his arms at the vet's office. +AD4APg- +AD4APg- She has been Pat's constant companion. He went almost everywhere with +AD4APg- her. It was very rare to see Pat anywhere without Maggie. We are so +AD4APg- very +AD4APg- sad for Uncle Pat, and we will be purring for him as much as we can. +AD4APg- +AD4APg- Amelia +AD4- +AD4- |
