But I do worry about my precious girl. I didn't post about it but Maggie had to visit her vet a couple of weeks ago because she was refusing to eat and losing interest in everyday living. Tests were run and although she didn't have Lyme, she did have a tick-born disease and she is on doxy. The doxy has been wonderful for her and she's pretty much back to her normal self. I pray her dad is remembering to give her the meds she needs twice a day.
Our favorite artist, Miss Barbara, painted this for me a couple of months ago. The photo was taken around Easter of this year.
The painting is so very special to me. I just adore my Maggie girl and the older she gets, the sweeter she gets! Seniors rock!
I miss you, Maggie! I hope daddy and Mitch are watching out for you and not over-doing it. I can't wait to come home and give you a big hug and kisses on your furry head. You first and then Mitch!
Love,
Mom
Of course you miss your sweet Maggie. I am sure that the guys are taking good care of her. Thank goodness the medicine is making her feel better. Ticks are nasty. Have a safe trip home.
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Niamh
I think M & M have just about the sweetest momma ever! We are so glad Miss Maggie responded well to her meds.
ReplyDeleteI know Maggie is literally gonna jump for joy when she sees you walk through the front door!

Praying maggie continues to recover, well. I know how it is to worry about your furry child.
ReplyDeleteYou have an award on arise 2 write.

Those tick diseases are nasty. I hope Miss Maggie is feeling better again soon. You must miss her a lot. She might be bored being stuck doing just guy stuff.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,

Miss Maggie will be soooo happy when you are home and glad to hand over keeping those two boys in line - back to you. It is so hard to leave our furbabies and makes us realise even more - just how special they are.
ReplyDeleteHey there
ReplyDeleteYep...it's hard to be apart from our owners! Our mom has just got back and its WONDERFUL! Im sure you'll get a huge welcome when you get home.
By the way, that painting is truly beautiful...we absolutely love the colours.

I have missed so much! I didn't even realize you were on a trip. I am sure Maggie is being very well cared for. Sorry to hear about the tick-borne disease, but it is definitely a relief that it is not Lyme.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweet girl. I often think about her trying to get Sophie to play. How adorable was that? Now that Sophie has a brother and seems to be a happier girl overall, I think she would actually give in and play with Mags. Maybe I will have to drive her down again in the spring.
One thing I've noticed about Sophie, since getting Graham, is how resilient she is. She might be a senior, but she is tough as nails compared to this guy. I have a feeling Maggie is the same.
Give big hugs to both the Dales.

P.S. Beautiful painting
I'm sure Maggie can't wait to see you! It'll be tail wags galore!
ReplyDeleteWE are absolutely pawsitive that Maggie is receiving her medication and it will be proven when she leaps towards you when you arrive home and gives you a great big kiss.
ReplyDeleteMolly, Taffy and Monty
It's hard to be apart from the furry family, but I'm sure Dad is on top of the meds and hugs. My Labrador brother had Lymes and wow the doxy is a miracle, isn't it? Sending doggy hugs to you all. Love, Josie..The Red Heeler in Mn
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful painting! I do understand that you are missing Maggie and, of course, Mitch.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing for me about the dog blogs is that it has introduced me to people I can completely empathise with.
I have a lot of friends who I love dearly but they do not understand the bit about the dogs!
I know that your husband will remember the medication - they can do it when they have too.
I also know he will be giving both dogs lots of extra cuddles and treats.
You will be home soon - enjoy what is left of your holiday.

What a sweet post - I know how you miss that Maggiegirl! I felt the same way when Lilly was at the other breeders - I love the others but she is just my special girl.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that she is getting her meds and doing well - I know George is taking extra good care of her.

I am sure Maggie misses you just as much as you miss her. I know I miss my mom when she goes away. Although the guys are there, I am sure she is being taken care of. Us girls know to make sure that we get what we want!!

Awwww, we are sure Maggie misses you two. When our Pinkie goes, we miss her terribly, too, so the same thing would go for Maggie.
ReplyDeleteBut we are sure she is in the best hands with the boys, so do not worry Mama Bear!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.....
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet sweet post dear M&M Mommy.....
sure your boys are taking good care of your baby....
Don't worried for her....she's in good hands and paws!!!!!
;-)))))
And poor Maggie.....we didn't know about her disease...but we're very glad to hear the medicine are working well!!!!
Have a safe trip to home....take care of you and give to your furry babies tons of hugs from us when you'll meet them again!!!!
You're a wonderful mommy!!!
Sweet kisses and licks
Dear Maggie & Mitch's Mom
ReplyDeleteWe're sure that Maggie is getting her medicines and our paws are crossed that she is getting better all the time.
Have a safe trip home and we're sure both Maggie & Mitch will be so excited to see you.
love and woofs

I hope those meds are helping Maggie to get better!
ReplyDeleteI am sure she misses you a lot too!
I know Mitch and Dad are taking good care of her but... Mom is the best!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

The painting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis brought tears to our mom's eyes! The painting is so beautiful - as is the love you and Maggie share! Mom has to go to Virginia this coming week and even though Dad will be here to take care of us, she's scared about leaving us. Something about me being 14 and pretty dependent on her. Rooooo. I"ll be OK - and so will Maggie! We'll say prayers for her!
ReplyDeleteTail wags,
Storms
Oh, what a beautiful post. it is always obvious how much you love M & M, and all good moms worry about whether the dad will do it all the right way. We are sure he is and M & M will give you a huge welcome home when you get there. That is an absolutely beautiful painting, one that you will cherish forever.
ReplyDeleteHugs, the OP Pack and their Mom
Oh we are glad Maggie is feeling better and the meds are working.
ReplyDeleteI hate my meds, but I hope Maggie's taking hers and feeling better and better every day.
ReplyDeleteThat's such an awesome painting of her too!
Sonic
I will check on her tomorrow
ReplyDeleteThose words are truly from a momma. We expect that the boys are serving maggies every need and whim. Maggie probably misses you just as much as you miss her. Be prepared for a slobbery welcome home. We've had a really bad tick infestation this year. Fortunately none of us have gotten sick. Dad goes over all of us every night when he gets home from work.
ReplyDelete- TBH&K
M & M...yucky ticks! Mom and I hate yucky ticks!! We're so happy Maggie is better and that the meds are making her feel better! Yucky ticks!!
ReplyDeleteMom understands how you feel-she hates to be away from me!!! But we're sure maggie is fine!!

Dear mom
ReplyDeleteyour sweet letter made mama and me cry. Mama knows how you are missing little Miss Maggie. But we are sure she is being well taken care of. Mitch is a great brother and will give her lots of attention and dad will of course make sure she is getting plenty of food and her medicine.
There is nothing like this kind of love on the face of the planet. Only another mom who loves her dog can understand.
Your Maggie will be so excited to see you- I can just see her now..
The painting is beautiful.
What a loving mom you are
love
tweedles
Awww I'm sorry to hear Maggie has been unwell. I'm sure she is being very well looked after but I do understand how you're feeling. I think when they start to get older they are constantly on our minds.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying your time in Florida.

We're sure "the boyz" are taking great care of Maggie, but we also understand how much you miss her!
ReplyDeleteWe just love your new painting! We've seen the photo on Facebook. Miss Barbara does such a pawsome job!
Have fun in Flor-i-duh, but hurry home to your furkids!
Aire-hugs,

Good evening m & m

Of course, embrace with worship. ：）

Hello Sue!
ReplyDeleteI have been such a bad, bad, dog blogger just lately.
However, this morning, there was some lovely free computer time, so I happened upon your post.
I think Maggie is the same age as Marvin, and like you, I cannot bear the thought.........well you know.
I am sure George is looking after her fine, we always worry about stuff, then find out we should have actually been worrying about something else entirely! Well, this is how I find things.
It is such a worry when they are sick, Marv had a tick born problem a few months back. Because of the problem, he scratched himself raw to be honest, we walk in such tick infested places here, it was quite alarming. He is fine now, but upsetting at the time. He had some excellent meds, and made a good recovery, but it really laid him low.
My thoughts are with you.
Jeannie xxxxxxxxxx
So hard to be away from our furbabies! Maggie will be so happy to see you. Soon. PS thank you so much for your kind comments regarding my mom. I am NOT going to say this on my blog because family members read it... but... I am going to to to NJ later in December to spend Christmas with the family as a surprise, and also to help my sister who has a lot on her plate right now. My three pups will go to their loyal caregiver (who is also the lady who rescued them) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYou´re a sweet mommy for Maggie & Mitch!
ReplyDeleteI´m sure they´re missing you so much too!
I´m so glad the meds are making Maggie feel better!
Love,
Thor
NOW is when we get SO frustrated when Moma lets us fall behind in our reading! (And we are FAR behind.) We totally understand your missing your Girl. And we hope that all the support you've gotten from everyone before us has made it easier.
ReplyDeleteWe read somewhere that you must be coming home soon ... and we're hoping the snow holds off. Maybe we are already home, with your arms wrapped around sweet Maggie. What a wonderful homecoming to imagine.
We're glad she is responding the meds and TLC. But the arms of Moma are going to make all the difference.
We'll watch carefully for an update, and until then, imagine the BEST!
Love
Jake and Fergi and family xxxxoooo

Sweet Maggie's Momma,
ReplyDeleteI am late in reading this, which means you are probably home with Maggie, or close to it!
But I wanted to say what has already been said- your love for your furbabies is so obvious, and we all feel the same way. My momma knows my daddy takes care of me when she is gone... but just not QUITE as well as she does. A mother's love...
Hugs to you and Maggie Girl.
xoxo

Maggie's Mom! Maggie's Mom!
ReplyDeleteIt is ME PUTTER ... I have been writing to Maggie's Dad every single day to make sure he is doing what he needs to DO! HE says he is! Maggie will let you know today when you get home! :)

Pees - We bet Maggie is being the mother of the house and keeping everything is tip top shape.
Doxy is a wonderful antibiotic! I'm sure she'll do just fine with it!!!! :) Don't worry there mom! I bet maggie can't wait to see you either!
ReplyDeleteMAN we hate ticks..they stink..We are sure the boys are taking care of her(in fact she called me on my cell and said they were doing a good job) Love a million kisses A+A
ReplyDeleteHey..
ReplyDeleteI'm a little stunned by the news but as soon as I've gathered the details, I've said a prayer for Maggie, & that your guy gives the doses timely. Praying that all things be good and you'll be home soon to cuddle your kids.
We've survived the move (read:nightmare), but, all's good. Be checking on your kids later. Meanwhile, take care wherever you are.
