"A family is a unit composed not only of children but of
men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold."
Grandma love
Maggie is a little quieter today. All our relatives left to go back to their homes. This morning when Maggie searched for our Christmas family visitors the rooms were empty. Grandma was pretty special to Maggie. She could always count on lots of attention and deep massages while laying close to her bountiful love. Maggie discovered grandmas are extra, super special even if you have four paws and fur. All that much more surface area for loving. Over Christmas we had everything; children, men, women, Maggie, the common cold and cookies. The Kleenex box was left out for those sniffing and coughing. It didn't bother us, because we were all together as one special family unit. Most of the time we were home bound due to the inclement weather of buckets of rain and lots of wind. UJ (Uncle John) spent time decorating the Christmas cookies. Very artsy. Maggie was a constant companion at his side.
She came up empty handed as she kept circling the table-no cookies for her. No worries. Through out the holiday Maggie had extra dog treats while we munched on fudge, ice cream, pies and Christmas cookies.
Between all the loving of relatives and great fun Maggie had, I think she's also a little worn out. Her regular sleep cycle went on the back burner as she wanted to be in the center of attention at all times. We loved her antics and licks & hugs. UJ expressed our Christmas time together best-from one heart to another.... we shared love sniffling and munching the whole way through. Together.
