I have been missing My Maggie a lot. I've been getting lots of extra hugs and kisses and even extra treats and it's very nice but I still wish I had My Maggie here with me.
My Maggie had a very special stuffie that she called Baby and Baby has been put away up on a high shelf for a long time so that she wouldn't be destroyed. Baby already has a huge bandaid around her tummy and that has chew marks on it too.
A very special package arrived at my house yesterday afternoon.
What do you think it is, Baby?
Mom feels so badly. In all of My Maggie's 13.5 years, she never had tripe - not even once and now she'll never get to taste it here on earth. I hope they have lots of it at The Rainbow Bridge!
You are the best friend ever!
Once again, mom and dad and I want to thank all of you so very much for your wonderful support through this very difficult time. We can feel your love and it helps us all immensely.
Love ya lots,
Your friend,
Mitch
Mitch - If you eat the tripe you can be sure that Maggie will approve . Hang in there buddy .
ReplyDeleteHowdy Mitch, we're glad you have baby to comfort you. Maggie would want you to have it for sure. Your friend Miss Elaine is so thoughtful and we hope you enjoy Maggie's tripe on her behalf. Your new header photo is just perfect. It made mum get leaky eyes but in a good way. See ya mate, we're thinking of you all. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory (and Carol)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your loss! I'm sure there is a lot of yummy things across the rainbow bridge. Mitch, now you have an angel to watch over you and your mom. Snuggle that toy real tight.
ReplyDeleteMitch,
ReplyDeleteMiss Elaine and Sunshade are such good pals!!! We hope you like the tripe!
When our mom and dad met Elaine and D-Guy in Vancouver, and got to meet Sunshade and Jaffaman, we thought they might trade us in for two airedales!!!
Last night, after she read your dad's post, mom was thinking that the sobbiest sobs she has ever sobbed were for two airedales: Oscar and your Maggie. Something about you guys!!!
You're in our hearts!
Wirey love,
Jake and Just Harry
Hello Mitch,
ReplyDeleteI know your missing Maggie is very hard. Your dear Maggie is all around you with her scent and toys and this will help in days and weeks so come. You mom and dad will be giving and needing lots love ....thinking of you and sending puppy love.

Hi Mitch, Sunshade's evil mum is a really kind, generous and thoughtful person. She got my "Sammy" license plate for my cart. My mom and dad are still upset. They have awful, sad faces - they understand how bad it is right now but with time, the jagged edges become a little smoother. Ah tripe is a little attention getting - just open the can:)
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch, "topcat" is my dad.
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch, I am so glad you have baby to comfort you. I bet Maggie gets to eat all kinds of good stuff over there across the bridge. I am glad you get to try something new. I can't wait to find out if you like it.
ReplyDeletelicks and sniffs and huggies Sasha
Stick close with Baby, Mitch! And enjoy your tripe!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHey buddy... keep your head up and snuggle hard with that baby stuffie! Maggie will always be with you.

I so hope Baby brings you some comfort during dis time Mitch.
ReplyDeleteDat was awfully nice of Miss Elaine to sends foodables. Dat was super nice.

PS: I loves what you did withs your header.
Sending you big hugs! I'm sure Maggie will get plenty of tripe at the Rainbow Bridge.
ReplyDeleteOh Mitch... I am sure that Maggie would be Thrilled to see you getting comfort from her beloved Baby.
ReplyDeleteI have never had Tripe butt I know what it is. When you try it.. just leave a little bit in the bowl.. and Maggie will sample it... when you least expect it. THAT was a very thoughtful gift.
That Frankie Furter has the best ideas....we know Maggie will pop by and get her snooter in the bowl to snarf up that last bit of tripe!!! We've never had it either...that Sunshade's mom is amazing, isn't she!!!
ReplyDeleteWe think about you and Maggie and your Peeps every hour of the day....and what your dad wrote about Maggie....he could and should publish...it was so very good. Mumsie's getting all teary just thinking about it, but it wasn't SAD....it was about love and hope and doggie/hooman bonds...
It was amazing.
Kisses, dear Mitch...we're glad you have Baby to comfort you, kiddo....
XXOO Scruffy, Lacie and Stanny
Our word verrie is oring....it MUST be Sunshade's ring....!!!!!
We know how you feel Mitch but all those hugs your Mom and Dad are giving you helps ease the pain a little. Mom was saying she remembers her Mom loving tripe and onions...she she's she cringes even now as she remembers how bad it smelt when it was being cooked. She never tried it...but she said her Mom loved it. Hopefully you will like it too and one day be able to tell Maggie all about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mitch, I know you're missing your Maggie a lot. It sure is less sunny around Blogville without her here. But I KNOW she's having all the tripe she can eat across the Bridge and she's gonna smile SO BIG when you eat YOUR tripe and think of her. I gets tripe every day with my foods and it's DEE-lish. So I'll make sure to think of Maggie tonight when I eat mine, too.

PeeS You will have to let us know if you likes tripe. :)
You know something Mitch! I bet that Maggie is having tripe at the Bridge just so the two of you can still enjoy it together.
ReplyDeleteStay strong and snuggle with your Momma Mitch! Maggie is your sweet angel!
ReplyDeleteDearest Mitch and Family...We are sending our sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved Maggie. We lost our very special Airegirl Daisy on January 23. Our hearts are also broken. We believe she has joined her litter mate Gatsby in heaven across the Rainbow Bridge where the sun is always shining and the grass is always green. She would have been 14 on March 6. Daisy leaves behind her little airegirl sister Lucy who is 15 months old. We know how difficult it is for you. The Tower Family
ReplyDeleteI think Maggie is having ANYTHING her special heart desires right now! Wonderful things beyond our imagination!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, buddy. We know all too well how hard it is. We love you, Mitch! Please give your mom a lick on the nose for me! And your dad, too!!!
Play bows,
Zim
Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeleteThat was so nice of Miss Elaine to send a food parcel for Maggie. Guess what... I learnt something new as two of those three cans have ingredients from where I live - New Zealand!
I haven't seen that brand sold here but I know our grass is green and the sheep (that I walk past every day) enjoy eating the it, so I'm guessing you'll love our canned grass and tripe too.
Woofs,
Riley
Mitch, we know how hard it must be for you without Maggie. Phantom had a hard time for a while after we lost Dakota. But just keep thinking all those happy thoughts about her. We bet she will be smiling down at you as you enjoy that tripe. We hear it is really good too. Mom has one can of it here for Phantom, but she isn't sure she can take the smell.
ReplyDeleteTake good care of Baby now.

Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that your Maggie is not there anymore and you have her Baby for comfort. Sending lots of Barklove to you and your family.

Mitch, I'm so glad you have Baby to remember Maggie and smell her still. I hope you like the food she gave you from up above. She meant you to have it!
ReplyDeleteWe are sending our love to you and your folks. I couldn't comment on your daddy's post because it made me cry!

Hi Mitch.
ReplyDeleteI just came in from watching the star show in the night sky. Maggies star is right out my window- so I can watch it all the time.
I like how you all made the new header. I know Maggie would be very proud of it too! Maggies wings are so pretty.
I have never had tripe, but I imagine it to be good. That was so nice of Elaine to send it.
I hear from some of my friends at the Rainbow Bridge- every full moon, and they tell me that there is some very tasty foods up there- whippy cream and scrambly eggs too.
Baby must be sooo comforting to you,, I know it would be for me.
I think of you and your pawrents every minute.
All of blogville loves you all so much,
love

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just read on George and Tess's blog that your beautiful Maggie has left for the Bridge. I wanted to stop by to offer my sympathy to you. I'm sure she is running free with my beautiful Amber right now.
Try to think of all those lovely memories of her and not the poorly time. My Amber had a tumor in her tongue,it just seems so cruel!!
It's clear you loved your Maggie with all your heart as I loved my Amber. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Love from Eileen and Annie xx
Dear Mitch, we know how much you miss Maggie and we are so happy that you have Baby with you. We miss Maggie a lot and are thinking of her a lot too.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Mitch. Play with Baby and enjoy your tripe.
Take care of your mom and dad and give them lots of licks and kisses too.
Hugs to your family.
Mitch we are so pleased you have Baby to snuggle with. We know how much you must miss Maggie.
ReplyDeleteWe love tripe and it's very good for you. Maggie would definitely want you to eat it all up.

Dear Mitch (and mom and dad),
ReplyDeleteWe are so so very sorry that dear sweet Maggie has gone. Sending many hugs and puggy kisses and lots of love to all of you. Mom is having a hard time seeing through the tears to write you this message. You have both been such dear friends to me for my whole life, and I am going to miss Maggie so much. We are so sorry for your loss.
Love Clover, Chewy & Mom, Jess xoxo
Getting mail is fun! I feel so sad....I know you miss your best friend....
ReplyDeleteOh Mitch sweetie, you look so precious there with baby. I know you will take real good care of it. Also, I'm pretty sure your Maggie is chomping down some wonderful tripe right now. She is also right beside you every single moment of every day. Blessings to you Mitch and to your whole family.
ReplyDeleteOh Mitch... I am so sorry for how sad you and your humans are. I'm certain that they have tripe at the Rainbow Bridge, and Maggie is enjoying it along with you.
ReplyDeleteTake good care of Baby, and remember that you have many friends out here thinking of you.
Mitch-
ReplyDeleteWe think Maggie would want you to eat all that yummy tripe and play with her toys too. That is just how big sisters are.
Love,
your pals Wyatt and Stanzie
Hey Mitch,
ReplyDeleteWe all know that you're going through a tough adjustment just like we are. Our dad read your dad's tribute to Maggie to us. Our dad told us that he knows exactly how you dad felt Saturady and how he feels about Maggie. People that don't have the human-to-animal bond that you and us have with might not understand but our peeps and your peeps do. It won't be the same but life goes on. We're sure that Maggie met Homer so that they can explore the meadows.
- TBH + K
I very sorry. May ur friend rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Mitch...do you have a favorite charity that we could make a donation in Maggie's name??? We would like to do something for her....
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could DO SOMETHING to make it all better for you and your mom and dad...we can send you our love...tons of it....
Kisses,
Lacie, Scruffy and Stanny
Hi Mitch, how are you doing now? Hope you're fine after what had happen.
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch, we are sending virtual hug and slobbers to you. We are so glad the humans are looking after you so well cos we know how much you will be missing Maggie.
ReplyDeleteWe think having her toy Baby will be good as we dogs so love smells. We are sure you will be extra careful but even if you aren't we know Maggie wouldn't mind at all.
As for the tripe, that was a very kind package but our human says she cannot even bear the smell!
We have had dried tripe in sticks and it really is the most delicious tasting thing but the human walk round the house feeling ill...............!
She says it is her or the tripe - we are still thinking about it.
Eat it all up Mitch and give Baby a good shake up - too long on a shelf is very bad for toys.
Much love
Martha and Bailey xxx
Oh, Mitchy Boy, we are sooooo glad you have Baby to comfort you! I bet Miss Maggie will be right there with you as you eat the tripe. I, Patches, have never had it either!
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,

Gee Mitch,
ReplyDeleteWe are so Sorry to hear that yer Maggie left fer the bridge. We have been out of touch fer months now but we sure want ta tell ya that both ya and Maggie made us smile lots of times when we felt like cryin' instead.
