Thank you all so much. It means a lot to all of us. My cousin Patty shared a video with me that is a very sweet notion... Rainbow Bridge I also recommend Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven"... it's a book, but the movie was really good too. Makes sense of our time on the Blue Marble and reminds us that everything happens for a reason and every ending is really a beginning, we just don't know it at the time.

My heart goes out to you and your family T. I know that loss of a special family member like Maggie has brought such sadness to you hearts. Your memories of her will help you heal and the warmth of her unconditional love will aways bring sweet smiles to your life. Hugs.

A poem:
Sunlight streams through the window pane unto a spot on the floor…
then I remember, it’s where you used to lie, but now you are no more.

Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound…
then I remember, It’s where your paws would joyously abound.

A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can’t be yours…your golden voice is still.

But I’ll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall.

I’ll wrap these treasured memorials in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend until we meet above.

Hi Tony,
I am so sorry to hear about Maggie. I know how much she meant to you and your family. Having always had a dog I know how hard it is when they are gone. I know your memories will help you through this time, they always did for me.

The vision I have had since yesterday is that “little puppy” sitting in the bucket seat of my car, staring at me, as I took her home to 173! That lttle puppy of course was Maggie!
Mommy, always being smarter then all of us, knew that “Tracie’s birthday gift” would bring all of us more then we coul ever realize!
Although not known as an animal lover, it is impossible not to realize thst because of the things Maggie brought to us,and the extended Romeo family, was a love. I never saw Maggie as an animal, she was Maggie!
I always felt that every time I saw Maggie, she ran to me, and thanked me for bringing her to the “Romeo’s.” I believe the last time I saw her she thanked me again, and she stood there in front of me until her rear legs gave out! Then I felt she said good bye! Life goes on, but as we get older we relize it is never “quite” the same.
Good job Tony!

That stinks. Yeah, losing a pet (especially a great pet), is really a bummer. At least she brought much joy to your lives over the years. Enjoy the memories. R.I.P. Maggie.

We’ve only had Snickers for a year and a half and we can’t even imagine how hard it is to loose the one friend who is always happy to see you when you walk through the door! We are so sad to hear of your loss, much love to you and the family!

Having a dog and loving a dog is like nothing else in this world. So, when they leave us it’s profound. We are left with a big gap that hurts for while. But they never leave our hearts, not really. It’s strange, but there are still moments when I think I hear my German Short-haired Pointer barking. She’s been gone since 1980. Okay, that sounds weird I know, but I guess they stay in your heart and in your mind. Maggie was lucky to have all of you. Sweet dog.

Tony…again, I am so sorry that this happened. I have also been there, and it is never easy. As I said before, “You were a fine woman Maggie.”

You are right when you said her smiles were just for you and the family. There is nothing like a good dog. It has been a little over 4 years for me, and I still cannot bring myself to get another dog.

Sending you and your family hugs Tony! I’ve been there and there’s no other way to say it…it sucks.

We’ll miss you Maggie! Good dog!
