Today should be a happy valentines day for me....but I can't help but be sad. My Beautiful Maggie....she's the dalmatian you see here. She would have been 13 years old this September (September 25th to be exact), but today she went home to be with my mom and dad in Heaven. She lived with my sister and her husband; but for many years, before my sister and I married, she lived with Mom and Dad, and me and my sister, and another Dallie, Joey, in our house on the lake. She was the "Zen" dog, so calm and pleasant most of the time, it seemed like nothing could phase her...unless she was on her way to or at the vet's office (just ask my husband Russ)!! Maggie was a very loving, brown and blue-eyed dog, and she had to be put down today because of a very serious infection in her lungs. Maggie, it's time to home now. Mom and Dad, and your friend Joey are all waiting for you. I will miss you with all of my heart, and I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there at the end to say goodbye. I'll miss all those mornings we laid in my bed, talking over the day ahead. You were a great listener. And you never condemned, never judged....you just looked at me with those big beautiful eyes. I have a Dallie of my own now; his name is Buddy. I'm so sorry that he and Maggie never had the chance to meet. I'll post some pictures of him soon. My prayer is that he continues to grow healthy and happy, and someday, (God willing...there are days right now when we could kill him!) he'll be a beautiful, loving, listening friend, just like my Maggie. Goodbye, girl......
