The Maggieversary

This weekend was our 8th Maggieversary! My girl is
now 10-years-old (approximately), and has changed so
much from the girl she was when she first came to save
us from sadness.

I love seeing the way she is confident when we're out
and about (although still terrified at the sight of
not-a-cats and the sound of air horns). But, in those
early days, we couldn't take her to Santa Monica with
us, because the noise of the cars and people were too
much for her. Now, she goes everywhere and is happy
to walk by our sides, no matter the situation (above
cited not-a-cats aside).

Her most important job has been this past year. I am
convinced that she is in large part responsible for
all our new friends and acquaintances here in the Possum Kingdom.
I am known everywhere as "La Dame est sa chienne" or
"the lady and her dog!" Strangers always come up to
me and soon become friends, all because of Maggie.
"Oh!!! What a beautiful dog!" is the most frequent
comment as opening gambit.

So, I am happy that on Thursday, Maggie was given
magret de canard (duck breast) as a special treat at
Le Commerce. She deserved it and more!

Happy Maggieversary, my dear, sweet girl!

Ciao for now
