Remembering

Eenie Meenie Maggie Mo
"Maggie"
Nov. 5, 2002 - May 21, 2009

My son's beloved companion for the last 6 1/2 years died last night. We buried her under a mulberry tree in our forest next to her daughter, our beloved Lilly . My son woke up on Christmas morning 2002 to find Maggie sleeping next to him. She has been his devoted friend ever since then, sleeping not on the foot of his bed, but burrowing her way under the covers and snuggling with him. She brought much happiness into our lives. She was a good mommy who didn't mind us holding her pups from the minute they were born, and we enjoyed raising a couple of litters of mini-schnauzers pups with her. She loved to "GO" for walks on the mountain, camping trips, rides in the car, or anywhere her boy was going. She was friends with the cat and the rabbit, and even tolerated the antics of our new puppy. She spent her afternoons watching out the front window for her boy to come home from school and take her for a walk. There will always be an empty place in our window without her at her post.
