Maggee
Our little Maggee just turned three. We got her through the help of
Alma and Kent who flew her in from Nebraska on their way to a
wedding north of Chicago. She was just five months old when she
arrived. Maggie has turned into a twenty pound happy, friendly, and
loving bundle of lap dog. She really fills our lives. Now that we
lost our other dog, Ben, my wife Billee just about makes Maggee
believe she is the best dog ever (Ben had been such an affectionate
and close companion to Billee I could not imagine anyone could come
close).
Maggee talks now. Her whine means please take me with you. When
outside the house her spinning means she is so happy to be free.
When she runs like a little lamb we know she has excess energy that
needs to be used. Her licking us means thank you for rubbing my
tummy or back. And not eating for a couple of days after Ben did not
return home meant she is in mourning too.
They had daily play fighting that included Ben at seventy-five
pounds learning how to catch Maggee when circling our back yard
tree. Ben learned when to reverse direction after convincing Maggee
he would only be going one way. Then Magee learned how to hide under
Ben’s belly so Ben could not reach her. Of course Maggee could reach
up and yank on Ben’s facial hair to win another skirmish and make
Ben cry. And if Ben got lazy Maggee would get things started again
by pulling on Ben’s tail or some other part of Ben’s anatomy.
Thanks to Alma, Ken, Dee and Gwen for all of your assistance. Our
family is pretty darn happy!
