Life and Death of Maggie

Maggie
was buried at the lakehouse where she loved to roam. For many years we
would take her to the lake and she would run free and find all kinds
of stinky things in which to roll around.
She was
truly a good friend to many of us and for me personally was a source
of joy during both good times and difficult times.
She lived
with Barry and Betty for the first three years of her life, and then
with me for rest of her life.
The last
few months, she returned to Barry and Betty due to my travel schedule
and Diane's allergies.
We had
sold our house in Nashville and really did not have room in the
temporary apartment, so she stayed with Barry and Betty for the last
four months of her life.
It was
sad to see her age affect her. We all remember how she loved to play
with her food before eating, how she wiggled her tail when someone
approached her, and how she grunted when she wanted to go outside.
Hannah
and Alexandra had taught her years ago how to sit on her hind legs to
take a dog biscuit.
She was
so personable and gentle. And for a Yorkie, she never yapped and
almost never barked, which was surprising.
She was
loved by everyone in the family. She will truly be missed.
At her death, Hannah
wrote this song to commemorate her.
