Re: In Memory of My Maggie, 1995-2009
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words -- they are really appreciated. Today is a tough one ...
I looked through Maggie's "baby" book last night and, for the first time, put one of her earlier pictures side by side with one I took on her last day with me. I was absolutely shocked -- she was at 32 lbs. in the first and 16 in the second but it was not just the weight loss. Her vet had told me that he was shocked to see how much facial muscle mass she had lost in just the last week of her life and that is what I noticed most in the pictures.
On the good side, seeing that reinforced that I absolutely let her go when I needed to. To me, she was still beautiful but I know that she is now once again restored to her best!
