MaggieMoose: Super Dog Sunday & Petfinder Foundation

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"I had rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world."

Samuel Johnson

  Maggie carries in her heart the SF 49er football team. Dreams of her home team playing in the 2013 Super Bowl Sunday game get her all misty eyed. A football fan to the core, Maggie cheered on her local Stanford University football team to win the 2013 Rose Bowl so, why not continue the cheering for her local NFL team, the SF 49ers? Oh, and her SF Giants baseball team won the 2012 World Series too, but that's another dog tail. This coming Sunday on Jan. 20th, the SF 49ers have an important playoff game. It is also an important day for Super Dog Sunday. This is a photo contest with a football theme which benefits the Petfinder Foundation. It's hosted by Event Barkers. Maggie loves her warm & cozy home. She wants all homeless pets to find their special homes with their forever humans. Petfinder Foundation has moose size pawsability thinking, one pet at a time. We like. WOOF! WOOF! Their compassionate goals are to ensure that no adoptable pets are euthanized. They work collaboratively with shelters, rescues, and other animal organizations to meet these powerful goals. After careful reflection, Maggie tossed her photo in the Super Dog Sunday hat. 

We entered Maggie's most recent SF 49er photo of her 2013 Super Bowl dreaming. While Maggie might look like a sweet girl, she's also a tenacious one. She's hoping to take a bite out of unwanted homeless pets just like she grips her football. Serious business. We agree, we rather see portraits of pets in forever homes, than on the streets or in some shelters waiting. 

GO SF 49ERS! GO PETFINDER FOUNDATION! WOOF WOOF

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."

  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!

It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over-Woof Woof

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is."

Bob Feller

Home run?

  Any sport with a ball is a good sport for Maggie. Each day she digs in her toy bin and pulls out a ball of a different color. She's having a busy week. Last Saturday it was her Stanford football team. WIN. Today it's another team and another fresh start. Maggie likes that each new day is a new day. Yesterday is history. She can start fresh with new opportunities. Just like baseball. "It ain't over 'til it's over." Today is a big game with Maggie's SF Giants baseball team playing Game #7 against her mom Ginger and her brother Samson's St. Louis Cardinals' team. Two great teams to cheer for. Maggie had to draw a line in the sand and go for her home boys- the SF Giants. Nothing personal. May the best team win-GO SF GIANTS. Woof Woof

FINAL SCORE: STL 0 SFG 9
