BustopherJones Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I think that was her way of saying "thanks mom, I found the Rainbow Bridge ok, and am happy here". As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played, I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade. I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity. I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side Were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide; And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be. My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do. I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright, That this place is truly wonderful; then a bright glow pierced the night. Twas the glow of many candles, shining bright and strong and bold; And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold. For although we may not be together in the way we used to be We are still connected by a cord no one can see. So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart. Via con Dios, Maggie Mae.

bc friend Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Erin, like so many others, I was deeply saddened to see your post title and having lost Sara last year to hemangiosarcoma, I know how devastating quick this cancer takes our dogs. I always enjoyed reading your posts about the amazing Maggie Mae and from them, I know how much joy she brought to your life. sWithout a doubt, Maggie will be in good company at the Bridge - run free, good girl.

MaggieDog Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Thanks you guys - she really was a special dog and it means so much to me to know that others saw it too, even though most of you never met her in person. In some respects I'm glad she went so quick - it would've been totally against her nature to just fade away - but I will always wish I had more time with her.

Anda Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Oh, no, Erin! I am so sorry to hear about Maggie's sudden passing, I've "known" her since I first joined the boards and I remember laughing at your stories of her, then worrying about her bunny chasing incident that landed her under the wheels of a car that never stopped, then sharing the joy of her recovery, the addition of her new siblings, and all your adventures. Run free, beautiful spotty Maggie, I will always remember you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notailabigail Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Erin I am so very sorry for your loss of Maggie. I feel like I "knew" her from reading about her on different boards and I've always thought of her as being one of those special, life changing dogs. It's such a shock to lose them so quickly but like you said, maybe it's better than having her fade slowly away. Abby and Ryan send you kisses.

sea4th Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I never thought that I'd be saying goodbye to my special girl today, but I did. When I got in the car to head home without my girl there was an apropos song on the radio and I got the distinct image of Maggie running full tilt in a grassy, sunny field - I think that was her way of saying "thanks mom, I found the Rainbow Bridge ok, and am happy here". Run free Meegs, run free! Oh no. I'm so sorry. Rest in Peace, Maggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSnappy Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Oh Erin, my condolences to you.

As others have said, she was one of those dogs that many of us who've been around for a while felt that we 'knew'. And what a gracious lady in her passing.
