A girl's best friend
Maggie died today. She was with me for 12+ years. She was about 13 1/2, which is very old for a german shepherd. We had a lot of travels together - living in Virginia, moving to Rochester NY, moving cross country to California, exploring the beaches and finally me watching her grow old. Many memories of her are captured on film - she used to go out with me when I shot landscapes - she was a great model. I will miss her - a lot.

Erin,
I went to your web site to see the party action. Then I saw that Maggie passed away. I'm so sorry. I'll tell Mary tonight.
Pets are companions, but even more than that. They can sense your emotions and are always there for you and vica versa.
Our cat of 18 years almost had to be put down two weeks ago. I took her to the vet Monday morning with the notion of putting her down. She had not eaten in 5 days and was having kidney failure. The vet convinced me to hydrate her and he gave her a few shots. She bounced back, but I know it's simply a matter of time.
I've accepted the fact that we are going to have to put her down someday, but as with Maggie, she has been my companion here at home.
I'm so sorry about Maggie. I'll look at the party pictures later.
Love,
Uncle John

Oh no! Erin, I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie. I know what a sweet, special doggie she's been for you. My regrets, but I'm glad she had a long and happy life.

I'm sorry about your dog passing away. Maggie looked and sounded like a damn cool dog.

I don't know you (and vice-versa). I found your site through the MT list of recently updated "blogs". I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie. My boyfriend has always had German Shepherds. Max, the beautiful all-black "guy" he had when I first started seeing him, died at the end of January 2000. One week later we found another one, also named Max, through an internet rescue site. He was a punk ... a thug ... a real wrong-side-of-the-tracks kind of Max. But we thought it was too sad to keep that name, so I tried prefixing "ax" with every letter of the alphabet to find a new name. When I came to "T", I knew we'd found it. So now we have "Tax" -- or "Taxi" as he's really known. In the 2-1/2 years that we've had him, he's changed from a wary, scared, abandoned juvenile delinquent ... into a loving, devoted, intensely affectionate best friend.
Don't know why I just wrote all of this. I just really wanted you to know that even though I don't know you, I can definitely feel your loss, and my heart is with you.

We are sad, but she's not in pain anymore. We all loved her. Love.

Erin, really sad to read this. I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on your site and saw your pic with her.
I won't forget that time I was working in your home office and she would just plop herself by your feet...and how I had to hop over her to get to the bathroom.
Take care, Lisa

My dog died on Monday (7/1). Her name was Toto. Like the wizard of oz. I had had her for 17 years. She was a cocker spaniel and poodle mix. I know how it feels. It's pretty bad. Everywhere I look I always think my dog is going to be there and I always think I hear her. There isn't any way to get her back. I have a feeling I'll get another dog before long.
I've never been to your site before. Looks pretty neat. I'll be back to browse around. Thanks.
Chris
