Pets have a special place in one's life and they soon touch your heartstrings. Maggie was just that kind of a pet. She was our daughter's family dog and passed away this week. We would keep her at our house when they needed to be gone for awhile. Maggie would come bouncing in like she was so glad to see you. She would wait by the bedroom door for a early morning greeting. Maggie gave unconditional love to the family. I guess that is why God created dogs. No matter what, Maggie would always have a wagging tail to say, "I love you". A person could be down and Maggie could lift your spirits. Her presence is gone, but the memories that she gave to their family, and extended family will always be cherished.
When Maggie was less than a year old she nearly died, and we went to see her at the dog hospital. She was so sick that she could hardly stand up, but she knew we were there and I'm sure this helped her get well.
Another time, we stopped by to see our daughter and she wasn't home, and I told our granddaughter we would drop back. As we were parking, my husband saw the dog catcher go by their home. We left immediately and turned the corner and there was the dog catcher with "Our Maggie" under his arms. I jumped out and said, "Maggie, is that you?" The dog catcher let her down and she pitter pattered home. I said, "Maggie you sure got yourself into some hot water now". She didn't have her dog tag on and our granddaughter showed the dog catcher her tag. Whew! That was a close call! Maggie was playing in the neighbor's back yard with their dog and found a hole in the fence and got out.
Maggie had quite the personality, and could cause one to laugh at her antics. She will be missed. I believe that God will have our pets in heaven waiting for us, as He so loves us and wants us to be happy. So Maggie, greet us when we get there!
