Maggie’s watching

[follow maggie]

Got the first little blast of winter last night & this morning.  Maggie had her perch in the garage to watch me shovel the driveway

The garage looks like a better place to watch from. How old is she? Did you used to hunt the release sites in Belfair and Tahuya... late 90s early 2000s?

She’s 14. Sadly she isn’t with me for much longer. I did used to hunt the release site near Belfair, in the early 2000s. That was well before Maggie, I had a yellow lab Molly at that time,

Saw the other thread om Maggie, very sorry to read that but what a life she had!! Time will help but I think that pup next spring will be the turning of a page, I hope it all works out.

We had 2 chocolates back then, a slim female named Jasmin and a brute named Matey. I hunted several years out there, never ideal but mostly a good time. We went to red labs after the chocolates. Our current "old guy" will be 13 in January. Know what's coming but sure not ready for it.

Thanks bird guy. It’s real tough, that’s for sure

I haven't been on this forum in a long time, for whatever reason, I logged on last week, and saw your threads, and it really hit me.  I lost the dog in my profile pic right before hunting season, he was 15 and hunted all over the country and gave me so many memories.  But honestly, the thing I think I miss the most is him following me around the house, and laying by feet in the evenings.  These dogs give us so much, and live way too short.  All the best to you.

I agree with that. Every time I come up from the basement I talk to her & reach out to pet her
