Maggie lived with a family in Altona for I'm assuming the whole six years of her life. Her brother was hit by a car and Maggie started acting out and not working out well with the other dogs. The family decided they needed to get rid of her so it was either find her a home or put her down.
Well, let me tell you something, there is no better family that Maggie could have gone to than the Dufault's. Even without a dog, they were so loving and when a big fur ball got thrown into the picture, they were even more loving. Now don't get me wrong, I love Diesel more than any doggie and he's really good, but Maggie is an awesome dog. She knows who her owners are and she sticks by them. She will be at the lake and there's Diesel, jumping off ten f
oot decks chasing boats, and Maggie is sitting there, sunbathing, looking at us like what the hell is this guys deal?
Recently, Maggie was diagnosed with lymphoma, a kind of cancer. They noticed her neck was starting to swell and her eyes looked not right. They were petting her one day and noticed some lumps around her neck. The vet noticed more lumps and she was then given the diagnosis. The vet told them she has about three months to live with minor chemo. With the full out chemo, it would be very hard on Maggie's body and it would only add a few more months on to the initial three.
My step-mom had met one of the Dufault's on her walk and heard about it. She got home and my heart broke for the family and the dog. Maggie isn't gone yet though. I'm positive the Dufault's are loving her and snuggling her more than ever. Even though it's tough, when it's her time, she will leave happy and I'm sure the Dufault's will be happy that they got to have such a wonderful girl in their lives.
This is Maggie. See those eyes? Right? So pretty.
And can't forget about the Dies-Man..
Happy Halloween from the stinky dog!
