Maggie McGee IV

Today at 4:00 p.m. we will help our dear Maggie McGee IV to the Bridge.

Maggie has been in declining health for some time, battling arthritis, Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, seizures and a stroke among other age related problems. She stopped eating several days ago and her body is just not strong enough to go on. She would have been 14 yrs. old on August 22nd.

We "rescued" Maggie at 2-1/2 yrs. of age from a family that was moving into a smaller home. She was always loved and cared for, never knew the feeling of being in a shelter and was never even kenneled when we went on vacations. If she couldn't go with us, she had a favorite dogsitter. She was well-traveled, having gone with us on trips to Washington DC, New York, Cape Cod, Myrtle Beach and Atlanta. Obviously, she loved to ride in the car and when her vision was better, loved to bark at cows and the large round hay bales in the farm fields here in the Midwest.

I could go on and on about what a sweet girl Maggie is but everyone who has a sheepie already knows how precious their OES are. I hope you will all give them a hug and let them know how special they are.

We'll miss you, Maggie, rest peacefully.

I'm so sorry that Maggie needs this help. Thank you for helping her.
I'll be thinking of you all day, and especially around 4.
Oh, I'm so sorry! Maggie was lucky to have been so loved for her entire life...
Nita, I'm so sorry you're facing this difficult time with Maggie. :oops: She was indeed a lucky girl to have lived such a full life with a family that adored her.

Nita, I am so sorry to hear about Maggie McGee. You have wonderful memories of her and I'm sure you will take comfort in them.
Thank you all for your kind words and support during this difficult time. All my Forum friends have been a great comfort through this via phone calls, PM's, e-mails, thoughts and prayers. I don't know what I would do without all of you.

We took Maggie for her last car ride today. She passed peacefully with the help of Dr. Martin. The staff at the vet clinic were very caring and compassionate, which really helped us get through it.

We brought Maggie home and buried her in the back yard next to our Mr. Winston. It's a nice quiet place under a big fir tree where she used to chase rabbits and squirrels. I know she'll be at peace there.

Hugs to all of you,


Nita & Nelson, Jr.
Sounds like a great place to sit and remember her with a tear at first :cry: followed by many fond memories. :)
Oh Nita, I'm so sorry to hear that you had to go through this!

Her spot sounds like a beautiful place and you'll always have wonderful memories of her.
Nita,

I am so sorry. It is never easy when one of our "babies" passes away.

Hopefully knowing that she is resting easy now will be of some comfort to you.

Big Hugs from way down south,

I am so sorry for the loss of sweet Maggie. I always know that the Sheepie's that live so long do so because they know they are so very loved. Hannah and Copper got extra hugs tonight in honor of Maggie.

She was very dear. May you have lots of comfort during this hard time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that it has been a struggle the last year has been. How lucky she was to have you. I know she will be greatly missed.

P.S If Nelson needs somebody to romp around with I'm sure Mojo would be happy to oblige.
Nita,

I am sorry for your loss. What a lucky girl to go on all those road trips with you. You will always smile when you pass those round bales of hay and think of your Maggie. I hope your tears are soon replaced by the beautiful happy memories that only bring a smile. Take care.
Nita,
I am so very sorry. What a huge hole you must have in your heart. What a blessing to have had her for the time you did but I know you will miss her terribly. I am so sorry.
Ginny
Hi Nita,

Words can't express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. From your post and descriptions of sweet Maggie it was so apparent how deeply loved she was by you and your family. While she is gone she will be forever in your heart and ours too.

Hugs from Marianne
(((HUGS))) I'm so sorry.
