MaggieMoose: Simply Friday

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."


  Oh, lucky me. I sat in the chair at my laptop. Miss Maggie was right there. Her paw was on top of my body. Her eyes looked at me with their I love you. Melt. I rubbed her velvety ears. She loved this. Then came the cleaning off the little morning goobers from her eyes. Her no likey this so much, but she knew I like to do this. So, she stayed perfectly still. Maggie stared at me with her human like eyes. On this Friday morning we shared tender moments together. Simply wonderful.

Back On-Exchange Program for Fall

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."

Maggie and the twig
 I was diligently working at my computer. I looked up. Maggie was just sitting there with a 10" twig hanging out of her mouth looking at me. A twig? Really? I chuckled to myself. I haven't seen Maggie bring in a twig for awhile. Fall is approaching, maybe that's why the sudden appearance of the twig. I reflected on her confidence of walking in the house twig in mouth, and planting herself right in front of me. How could I miss not seeing her? What a bold move executed in a quiet way. She commanded my attention. OK, we're back to the "exchange program". That's where I go get a little treat, ask her to "drop it" and she releases the twig. More like she throws the twig out of her mouth. Oh Maggie. How can I not smile? Maggie does common things (is this common?) in an uncommon way, grabbing my attention every time. I'm a lucky girl.
