A Tribute to Maggie

Today was much like any other day. Life goes on and we are all busy but let not this day pass without pausing and saying a little prayer for Maggie. Maggie was born somewhere in Missouri and probably in a puppy mill. She ended up in the panhandle of Florida where she was turned in to Gulf South Golden Retriever Rescue. When Maggie came to us her neck and glands were swollen. I took her to the vet and he ran some tests and sent them off. The results came back that Maggie had cancer and had only 4 to 6 weeks to live. I made up my mind she could stay at our house until the time came when she should go to the Rainbow Bridge. Well her condition was deteriorating and I had promised myself not to let her suffer. When I said good-bye to Maggie this morning I told her I would see her on the other side and her suffering was over. Maggie is playing at the bridge right now and her suffering has ended. Do pause and say a prayer for Maggie and don’t let her passing go unnoticed.
