Happy 10th Birthday Maggie!

Today is Maggie’s 10th Birthday! She got an early birthday present yesterday – one of her favorite treats – Trachea chew!!!

Maggie and her trachea chew

10+ years ago my sister called and said ‘come look at this puppy (for my hubbie)”….he’d just lost his old dog and was looking for a replacement. He wanted me to go with him. I said why? I’m not into dogs(being a horse person all my life). But I went with him. And from that day forward, my life changed! She was so precious! He wasn’t particularly “taken” by her that day at the Vet’s Office…after all, she wasn’t black or a “he”, like his old dog was. But WOW, I fell in love…imagine that…me! I wasn’t ‘into’ dogs at all!

Maggie has changed my life in so many ways. From turning me into a dog person(and getting out of horses!), to clicker training, to competing in agility for almost 9 years with her, to now her cancer and amputation.

This isn’t how I pictured my Maggie to go into her senior years…as an amputee…but the other option just wasn’t what I had pictured either – of not being here at all! .

I love you Maggie with all my heart. Happy Birthday Maggie Moo-Moo! 😉
