Such a beautiful photo of Maggie - and such a fortunate and lucky girl to have been in your care. Very sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss Diane. I was dreading to see this post coming knowing from your previous posts what you had done to keep her going. You gave
her a wonderful life and your recent trip to the Sierras with her had to be a high point.

With the death of our dog so fresh in our hearts, I couldnt even read any of these posts
BUT I do know how you feel and hope that you know that we all know your pain.
Take good care

For me, your beautiful prose can apply wonderfully to my beloved never-to-be-replaced malamute that went to the snowbank in the sky 25 years ago.
Thanks for sharing your memorial announcement...

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and comments. This one is a tough one as it just feels like a big chunk of our life spirit has left us.
Time, it will take some time.
And I know that some of you are still suffering from your recent and not so recent loss of a fur baby. We just keep trying to fill that giant hole in
our hearts with the beautiful memories. As we took a drive today, I smiled remembering how we always had to fight her for the arm rest between our
seats; she always won.
Tommy, our other dog is very healthy right now, but he is almost 12 1/2 years old. We don't think there will be any more dogs for a very, very, long
time, but we said that when we lost our Lucy 13 years ago. We still miss her all the time.
When Lucy left us we had her cremated as we knew we were not going to be in Calexico for much longer. Since to us, this is such a much nicer place,
we decided to bury Lucy's ashes with Maggie. It was one thing that made us smile as we told them to get along as we know they would not have liked
each other in life.
This was her last hike just a couple of weeks ago. We had seen changes in her for the last few months but we were just trying to ignore them. She
did pretty well on this short hike, but she tired much to quickly.
And as a final note, this is one of my favorite portrait shots of little Magster taken at Gonzaga a few years ago. Pigpen was another one our
nicknames for her.
Again, thank you. Somehow writing about her just helps a little.

Diana,
So, so sad... and such a beautiful face... Because of your wonderful, loving bond I suspect Maggie is still there in spirit thanking you for all you
did and making sure you're OK.

I am so deep in personal loss that this pulled a real good cry out of me. I'm so sorry for anyone feeling grief. Pain killers seem to work on almost
everything else. Damnit! Sorry friend.
Time, as you say. Just time. Bless you.

Dianne,
I was so sorry to read this. My sympathies go out to you, John and Tommy. I met Maggie on two or three of our meetings in Baja and also in No. Cal. So
did Paco.
'Ol Paco is now 11 and slowing down a bit. He especially did not like this heat wave of triple digits for the last 7 days. Last night's fireworks did
not help. We have been so close since he was a puppy, I am not looking forward to that day.
You may or may not get another dog, but none can replace your dear Maggie. I will spend extra time with Paco today in the memory of Maggie.
Today is a bit cooler. Whew! I will take Paco for a drive. You will remember, he has the whole super crew cab in my F150, with the back seat down as a
platform. He has made so many trips to Mulege without a single complaint. Well...after all that is his penthouse suite.
Bye, Maggie! We loved you.
Tony

Graham her spirit will always be with us; in that way she will never be gone. Perry, I am very sorry you are grieving ---- I guess it is just a part
of life that we cannot avoid no matter how hard we try.
Tony, yes, and she growled at you and Paco! It took her a long time to trust anyone or any other dogs. She was so attached to us and so protective
of her "pack". We always said that Tommy wanted to welcome the whole world into his life, and Maggie just as soon everyone go away. Paco is
definitely a member of the lucky dog club----very well loved. They give us so much and it is not their fault they break our hearts, but they do.

Oh dear Diana and John and Tommy - please add us to those sending heartfelt condolences to your family. My heart fell when I read this, knowing how
it is with our loved furbabes, their time with us is just not long enough, so making the most of it is what you do, and so definitely did. Maggie is
out of the pain that tested her, and playing painfree with those that welcomed her to the special place in heaven where all of our furbabies go. I
know if she could have written these words to you she would have, so please permit me to write them for her: "My dear loving family thank you for
making life for me so wonderful, full of love and adventure and so very special. I am gone but am with you always. Just think of me and I will be
tapping on your hearts with my paw to say I will always love you. Love Maggie"

Hi Diana,
I'm so very sorry you guys have such a huge hole in your lives from this loss! All together too many of us here I'm sure have gone through similar
experiences and despite what we do sometimes you have to admit that nothing more can be done at a certain point and thats soooo very hard since we
love them so!
We lost our old Basenji girl Asha three years ago now and the 2 ranch dogs we have now pale in comparison to her spirit, you sure as heck can never
replace them! You guys are lucky to have had each other, but of course you know that!
un abrazo fuerte!
Mike and Pamela

Thanks---she always will be speaking to us. She did have such a special spirit that just made everything more alive and fun.
Now it is time to work with our old Tommy as he is obviously grieving and is having a few very different behaviors. We know that he knew Maggie was
very sick before we did by the way he behaved around her. 
Mike, we really hope to get up your way in the not too distant future.

We are finding it very, very difficult. We still think it is not real.
