RIP Maggie the Dog

Sign in to disble this ad
Maggie was my wife's dog (had her before we got married) but we've been together for about 8 years so this was tough. She was getting seizures really bad (nearly all the time) and her back legs weren't working anymore. They couldn't find anything wrong with her so the only explanation was a brain tumor. We had to put her down yesterday.

Maggie was a great dog that never bit anybody, never ran away and never gave us any trouble otherwise.

When she was able to get down the stairs (to the basement) Maggie loved to listen to whatever bass playing or jamming would be taking place there.

Anyway, now she is listening to Jaco and/or Ray Brown play, so RIP Mags.

Ive lost 3 dogs in the last couple years (all age related), I know how it is loosing a member of the family. Sorry for your loss

Go and visit your local pound next week or maybe the week after, there are always animals looking for your help, and it really does help to have another dog in the house. Best wishes.

Very sad to lose a pet - they are very much members of our families.

RIP Maggie.

My previous dog went into seizures and it was a terrible thing to witness.

He was so tired that he couldn't even move. I sat next to him for hours.

He passed away in his sleep.

He was a good dog.
