Once, twice, three times a lady


Rest in Peace Maggie
November 30, 2012

Maggie passed away at the age of 14. She got sick pretty quickly and we once again had to make the terrible decision like we did with Gage to let her go

She came to us when she was 6 months old from an older lady who had received Maggie as a Christmas gift. She couldn't take care of her so Jeff brought her home to live with us. I can still see her in Jeff's arms as he pulled his truck into the garage. She had big floppy ears and she was adorable. 

Maggie was our first indoor dog.  She was with us for almost 14 years and it's hard to remember her as a young pup.She knew the word kitty and would bark and bark at the window when the neighbor's cat pranced around on the front porch. We started spelling kitty and she quickly learned what that meant. We would say, "Maggie! K-I-T-T-Y! "And she would take off toward the window, barking. She loved to play with Chad and Lindsay and was a lot of fun. She loved to take walks and sniff and sniff in true Beagle style. She always reminded me of the Fisher-Price pull toy because her nose was always down  and tail up when she was out and about. She also loved Lindsay's Barbie dolls and Lindsay ended up with quite a few that are missing feet. :-)

She was a sweet, sweet girl and tolerated a lot when Gage came to live with us. She made sure he knew who was in charge. She was gentle and  loyal . She didn't know a stranger and loved everyone.
She  loved to be rubbed and she was always happy to see us. I have shed a tear everyday she has been gone. I miss her so much.

Maggie-thank you for being the Beagle you were and for all the fun times. We know you are in heaven keeping Gage in line. We love you and miss you so much!
