Maggie, a rescued black great dane dog, entered our lives in 2014, through Uncle Greg and Aunt Sarah. She was very skittish and shy.
Our kids fell in love with her and treated her as a real human cousin. Dog cousin activities often included reading books, taking walks, running in the backyard, eating waffles on Sunday, dressing up, vacationing at the beach, lounging on the couch together watching TV, posing in family portraits, playing with our dogs, opening Christmas gifts and ALWAYS being greeted with huge hugs every time they saw each other.
We gave her HUGE stuffed animals every Christmas. Maggie loved her stuffed friends and never destroyed or hurt them.
The last 8 years, out of 10+ years of life, were her best years! She will be missed even in France.

Michelle, thank you for the wonderful tribute to Maggie. We saw her a couple of weeks ago and knew it was probably for the last time. In typical Maggie style she nudged my hand asking to be scratched behind the ears, as if to say “hi, I remember you”, because I always did that to her. We’ll miss her too.
