Maggie Mae (August 20, 1996 to January 29, 2012)
She was our Sunday Dog, our Monday dog, our summer dog, our winter dog.
Oh, how she loved the snow!
And, walking on the beach.
And, sitting on a bench in the park or on a deck overlooking the sea.
She loved other dogs and people and spent her life making humans smile just by trotting down a Boston sidewalk with her little tail wagging away.
She was that kind of dog.
Her unconditional love for us was a most precious gift and each day she brought laughter and joy into our lives.
Last Sunday, we held her close as we gave her our final gift, a peaceful end.
Maggie introduced us to so many wonderful people and dogs over the years. She captured the hearts of people near and far. We know we are not going to be the only ones missing our little elf.
Because some of you have asked, donations may be sent in her name to your choice of the following places or to your own special animal charity if you have a favorite. And, please give your own companions an extra hug or some special time together in her memory.
Thanks to everyone who has offered comfort and support in our time of grief.

at almost any grocery or drug store. We used a baby's medicine doser to put liquids into Maggie's mouth. Once there, she'd swallow them.
