MaggieMoose: May The Hand Of A Friend....

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

May you always have work for your hands to do.

May your pockets hold always a coin or two.

May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.

May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.

May the hand of a friend always be near you.

And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Irish Blessing

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Maggie Erin "Pearl of Ireland". 

Our honorary Irish lass.

Full Moon Champs! Or Is That Trick Or Treat Early?

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth way to your door."

Irish Blessing

  Tonight is a full moon. Last night Maggie and I went outside to get a glimpse of the moon's fullness. We were very excited after our SF Giants baseball team won the World Series. Looks like last night's moon lit the path to a World Series Championship. WOOF WOOF. Through the trees we saw the moon. Our camera captured a green colored spooky version of the full moon. Perfect for Halloween week. The countdown begins. Trick or Treat day is in two more days. Maggie's ready with her Bumblebee costume and I with my Lorax costume. Maggie will be buzz, buzz, buzzing about while I, as the Lorax, will be heralding the merits of the Truffula trees. Until then, may our friends have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth way to your door.

PS. Way to go SF Giants!

Maggie Erin Morning

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

A sunbeam to warm you,

A moonbeam to charm you,

A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.

Maggie in the morning (5:00am)

  Maggie Erin is the name I gave my English Springer Spaniel dog on her AKC papers. It means "the pearl of Ireland". Our family's roots are Irish so, I had to bring Maggie into the fold by making her an honorary Irish lass. This morning is the last morning I'll see Maggie for awhile. I'm heading out to Washington, DC for my daughter's college graduation. Today like the others we wake up early. Not all the lights are on yet and it's still dark outside. I make my coffee, and sit at my computer. After Maggie eats she gets her tennis ball out for a round of chasing the ball down the hall. Today I couldn't get enough hugs & kisses from her 45 lb huggable body. Looking at Maggie standing by the pantry door, her hoping for a treat (sorry my lass-No is the answer), I felt a tug at my heart. Maggie will be staying with her dog walker's family while we're apart. As social as Maggie is she'll have a fun. But, I will miss her. So, with this heartfelt parting upon us I send Maggie off with another Irish blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you; 

May the wind be always at your back, 

the sun shine warm upon your face, 

The rain fall soft upon your fields, 

And until we meet again 

May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Maggie Erin in the morn
