This is MGWs Facebook post.
I could not say it any better.
After 13 years of faithful friendship,
loyal companionship and unwavering love,
our beautiful labrador, Maggie,
went to sleep for the final time
early this afternoon with the gentle,
winter sun on her back. She has been an integral part of our family since the day
Don brought her home as an 8 week old puppy;
devoted to each one of us,
and she will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, my gorgeous girl.
You will never be forgotten,
and your passing has left
an enormous hole in my heart.
so heartbreaking.. rip dear maggie… say hello to johnny (my GSD) at the rainbow bridge.. it’s been more than a year since he passed but i still miss to this day.. sending lots of hugs.

It is hard when a companion leaves us. Brandy, Ginger, and Candy all chose me just the way Johnny chose you. It was sad days when the first two left this world. Canny! She is still in that rat-bag teenager stage. She is trying….very. I’m sure Maggie will stop to have a chat to Johnny.

i am so sure of that too.. i would love to imagine them being whole again, no more pain and just playing and running and chasing each other with those sweet smiles on their faces.

Thank you. It was the best in the end. Twelve months ago we thought Ginger had another few years left in her. She died suddenly last October. When we brought Taji home apparently I had hoped that Maggie would have another few years left to be with Taji. Now all we have form last year is one very tired cat who just seems to keep on hanging in there and which we thought would not see this winter.

I thought the Facebook post the best way to remember her. The day I brought Maggie home I went via MGW’s workplace and totally disrupted her Prep class with our new eight week old puppy.

Thank you Norma. We had hoped for a resurgence of life after a cold spell, however, it wasn’t to be, this time. Her body was too tired. 😢

Feeling so sad for you. I remember putting my beloved Bluey to sleep after his 15 years with us. Treasure those sweet memories you have of your sweet girl. RIP Maggie. xo

Thank you Miriam, we will treasure her memory. And to a degree she will live on in Taji as Taji’s GGG and Maggie’s GG were litter mates. We will always remember how Maggie took a shine to Taji from day one.

It has to happen, but how we wish our beloved pets could outlive us.
It has been an honour to know your Maggie, through your blog. Goodbye, lovely gentle lass.

Thank you Yvonne. The funny thing is that twelve months ago we would have held little hope for Sox to see another winter. And also that Ginger would have had another few years left in her. Now we only have Sox left and he is walking a tight rope…of life.
