Christmas Day 2009

Destuffed duckie in less than 3 minutes!  Mission accomplished!squirrel hunting!

It was a really good Christmas for us all!  First off, I am here to celebrate with my Mama, Papa and OK, not so bad, little sister Haley.  We got up and unwrapped presents!  Yay!  I’ve been trying to do that for a few days now…my pawrents keep telling me ‘no, Maggie…just a few more days’…..finally, it was here!  I LOVE to unwrap presents…mine and anyone else’s!  It looked like a bomb went off after I was done!  I looooooovvvvvve it!  Even little Sister Haley got into it more this year than in year’s past but she still hasn’t figured out how to do it as well as me!  Ha-ha! 😉

I managed to destuff that duckie in less than 3 minutes!  Record breaking time!  When Mama wasn’t paying attention to me and I put a hole in it and quickly started pulling out the squeaker and then it was over………all the rest of the stuffing came out too!  My Mama tolerated me doing it so quickly cause, after all, it was my Christmas present…so I could do whatever I wanted to do with it right?!  Not to mention that I’m a tad more spoiled now that I ‘hop along’ on three legs 😉

Then after breakfast we went for a great walk….me and little sister were hunting for squirrels in the log piles…we never did find any but had a grand time looking!  I amaze my pawrents going thru the deep snow jumping over banks… My Mama has even noticed when I am on a flexi that I’m getting stronger and not looking so ‘labored’ in my movements when moving slower….I look more normal now moving on leash…I can move slower now easier…

A good day…we all had a good time today..the best Christmas present of all is to just be with my family and enjoying each others company – and they tell me the same 🙂

Maggie was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma on her left knee. She had amputation done on October 20, 2009. Four days after surgery she had a low grade fever and was off her food for two weeks! Trying times.. I am grateful and so pleased with how she is progressing now.

  1. At my sister’s house they have stuffed animal surgery and she just restuffs them, squeaker and all, and puts a few stitches in and it’s a brand new duck! I feel kinda lucky that Caira isn’t into tearing up and destuffing creatures. She’s more of a tug kinda girl. Of course that means that what I trip over in my living room and bedroom is big rubber rings….so now that I think of it maybe stuffed animals would be nicer! Oh well.
    Awesome that Maggie is doing better walking along. I find that if I let Caira go her own pace, she picks one that you can hardly see a hop at all.
    Merry Christmas!

  2. So glad you enjoyed your Christmas Maggie! Jake and Wolfie also had some stuffed duckies… which didn’t last too long… but I had to be a surgeon and stitch them up, until I couldn’t fix them anymore… But what fun it is to rip them up, eh?

    Marry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your pawrents!!!
