A story from Tamra Galati about Princess Maggie
posted 12/30/2008

Why princess? Because she is adored by so many. She makes you laugh, she makes you cry, she brings people together, she makes you stop and smell the roses of life, the simple things that we all tend to forget. I can't find the words to explain the happiness and unconditional love she has given our family. She has turned "non" dog lovers (if that is possible), into complete "Maggie lovers", when she is around them. When my father died, my mom was very lonely and unhappy, she wouldn't come to visit us, because we had a dog, and it would remind her of my dad (he was a huge dog lover). She finally agreed to come, and after only a few days with Maggie licking her, greeting her in the morning, cuddling with her (even when my mom tried her very best not to like her), I found my mom, taking her for a walk, talking to her, loving her. Our kids were always so busy, never had time for family. Once Maggie arrived into our lifes, they spend more time at our house, then their own. She brought them back down to earth, brought us back together as a family with her love, with her craziness. Lets see...chewed:$800.00 in eyewear, chewed leashes:numerous, hats: too many to mention, curiousity trips around the neighborhood:as soon as you turn your head. And, the list goes on, and on. She is my BEST FRIEND, my soul mate for life.
