MaggieMooseTracks and Beyond...

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." 

Helen Keller

We've traveled to many new places, had many new adventures and met many wonderful new friends & family!

Follow Maggie & me on social media and see what we're up to next! 

MaggieMoose: A Circle Of Friends That Never Ends...

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

 ~~~~~~~~~~

And we are all connected to each other

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends.....

Stephen Schwartz 

  I played for Maggie the song Colors of the Wind sung by Judy Kuhn from the classic Disney movie Pocahontas. It reminded us of our new children's book MaggieMooseTracks® MakingFriends (age 6 up) now on Kindle. (PS. Adults like it too!) In our book, we wanted to share the theme of appreciating individuality, nature, and that we are all connected in a circle of friendship that never ends. Our story tells of a fictionalized Maggie, a puppy with moose antlers, who meets some interesting animals and kids on her adventure to finding her own family. Maggie and I hope that our circle of friends will tell their circle of friends about our new book with its important messages. We've painted the beauty and wonder of the colors of friendship in our fully colored, illustrated chapter book. 

The paperback edition of MaggieMooseTracks® MakingFriends will be available anytime from 2-3 hours or 5-7 days on Amazon.com. We'll post updates on our website when we have the link! Your reviews on Amazon.com will help make our 1st book a huge success. Would you please share the book news and write a review? We thank you in advance for helping us connect globally in friendship through our heartfelt, yet adventurous romp in MaggieMooseTracks® MakingFriends. 

  

MaggieMoose And Her Adventure Subbie

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"I love the rain. I want the feeling of it on my face."

Katherine Mansfield

  Rain doesn't stop Maggie from going anywhere. Rain or shine she's ready to go out for an adventure whether out for a walk or in her Subbie car (2011 Subaru Forester). It gets her excited! Adventure girl rocks! Like yesterday, the rainy weather came back. I needed to do some last minute running around. It's almost dark. Maggie's piercing eyes spoke volumes to me. I read her mind and it tells me I wanna go too. OK girl. Rain drops on our faces. Pronto! I snatch a blurred photo of Maggie in front of our Subbie car. Drum roll ... this is where the infomercial comes in. I have never driven a safer car in the rain (inches of pounding rain) than in our Subaru Forester. It literally hugs the road like Velcro. It's an amazing feeling to feel so safe in stormy weather. As Maggie is my prize love bug I want to know that I can keep her safe & happy. The backseat is where she goes with Dora the Explorer. (Yes, the Stanford students got a kick out of riding with Dora too. LOL) 

Maggie rides many ways; harnessed in, laying down with some zzz's, upright or to the back of the Subbie in her crate. The crate is kept in the car if she needs to be confined for any reason. A good example of how she used her crate was when Maggie needed to wait her turn when she did human scent tracking training. 

Back to the rain and darkness.... We took our walk, it rained on our faces and nightime was upon us. Together we smiled with our wet faces. Maggie's lip kinda curled up with her antsy let's go look and we drove away in the Subbie to do our errand. It's happy trails for us rain or shine. We know we'll get back home safe & sound.

till the next adventure....

WOOF WOOF

The Daily Details Of MaggieMoose Life

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life."

William Morris

  It's the New Year-present tense. The holidays are history. Maggie and I are trying to figure out our new rhythm for this New Year. Some things haven't changed. Our morning ritual of sharing the love is where Maggie plops in my lap on the floor and self attaches herself to me. Snug as a bug in a rug. I stroke her velvet coat with my hands. I feel each of my strokes brings me back a hand full of her love. It's a good way to start the day. L-O-V-E. One thing that has changed is Maggie has new fleece blankets on her cozy beds. She has a Navy blue fleece for the bed by my laptop and a fleece blanket of hearts by my desk. C-O-M-F-O-R-T. We started walking more this week and eating less by smaller portions. We are thinking of our H-E-A-L-T-H. One thing that hasn't changed is the slow build up of toys by my chair (that's any chair, no matter where I sit). Yes. Toys are plural. F-U-N.

Road trips perk up our A-D-V-E-N-T-U-R-E sense. It doesn't matter to us whether it's around the corner to the local pet store or further away. Maggie likes looking out the window and seeing other dog friends out & about. In this New Year we are taking a genuine interest in the daily details of our life. H-A-P-P-I-N-E-S-S. We wouldn't want to miss out on something special!
