MAGGY MAY IS HOME! 16 MAY 2007
Shannon writes: I emailed Shell today and told her we want to officially adopt Maggy. I have been really stressing about whether or not WE were the best place for her and have decided: Yes, we are!! We love her to pieces, she gets along with Mickey, our friends & family (except Joe, which he is working on faithfully day by day), she's potty-trained etc. And today she initiated a tiny bit of play with me! I am checking into places where she maybe could go to for playtime with other dogs. So we will have to work on finding furfriends for her to bond with. 6 June: MM Plays! Just gotta tell you when i got up this morning and went in to say good morning to the "kids", MM was beside herself she was sooooooooooooooooo happy to see me!!! Her tail as going 90 miles per hour (as well as her little back end); she was doing a little play bowing with me AND actually was putting her paws up to PLAY . . . Unbelievable!!! I was so happy I could have cried - this is a first . . . Good things come to those who wait . . . . 17 June: We had our 2-1/2-year-old grandson and our 11-month-old foster grandson over today, and Maggy was awesome with both . . . just lay on the couch in her spot and allowed Charlie to pet & pet her. Anthony (the 11-month-old) more or less kept patting her. Here's MaggyMay with Anthony . . . We put her outside and when she came back in, "her spot" had been filled by my son. She went back & forth, back & forth, her eyes getting wider & wider until my daughter told her brother to move his butt . . . Maggy did let her pick her up and put her back on the couch! Shane, my middle son, left; when he came back later, he started laughing because she hadn't moved an inch!!! Asked if thatıs all she does all day and we said: Yep. sure is!!!! What a good little girl we have!! . . . first meeting for both! [I have the feeling that if MM could throw her paws up in the aire, she would, too! --ad] Another Happy Ending, Thanks to CRUSA
Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed, All nicely tucked in my warm new bed. I'd like to open my baggage Lest I forget, There is so much to carry - So much to regret. Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top - Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame. As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave - I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things And take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, To never re-pack? I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see, But I do come with baggage - Will you still want me? -- Evelyn Colbath
