Today Fandango has given us PETS for his FDDA prompt today.
Anyone familiar with my blog will know about Maggie, our 15 year old sprollie.
We’ve had her since she was 7 weeks
This is Maggie in her prime (taken in the cottage on 2008)
This is our furbaby now (Photo taken May 27 2020)
Maggie is the first dog in my adult to live to this age as Kizzy was 10 when I lost her to mammary cancer in 1990 and Barney 9 when we lost him suddenly in March 2005. He would have been 10 in the June.
I lasted just 6 days before asking Hubby if we could get another dog, and he was as keen as I was because he was home all day with no dog for company.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

She is precious and understand totally not wanting to be without a dog! They are just so special!
She’s slowing down now but most people find it hard to believe her age until they get up close. Every day now is a bonus.
❤
I know what you mean about every day being a bonus. Thank you for sharing about your special animal friends!
Have just read your post about Nikki. Lovely. They do know. One of my dog’s hated the vet, but that last time, she walked in as sweet as you like.
Thank you, pensitivity101. The last trip is always so painful.
I know. We lost Barney in March 2005 and it feels like yesterday. We got Maggie 6 days later and know it will be hard when her time comes, hopefully not for a good while yet.
I love dogs 🤩
I know, me too

Maggie is a joy to you and I’m sure she looks at you as her whole world. Having a wonderful life to share with people is the very definition of success for a pet. I hope you have many more years with Maggie!!
Thank you. Us too.
Dogs make life so much brighter! 🙂 So glad you have Maggie!
Oh indeed.
