I got Maggie when she was 10 weeks old, she was a very skinny and sad little puppy. She wasn't like other puppies at all, she didn't even know how to play with toys. Even though we seemed to bond right away, she would still stay a little distant in the beginning, it took her a few weeks before she warmed up to the idea the she was part of our family. I originally got Maggie for my "then" wife so I could take our other Boston named Olga for my dog. But that plan didn't work since Olga still really loved her mama very much and Maggie started to become a daddies girl.
One thing that Maggie demanded from the start was lots of attention and wanted to be held all of the time. As our bond grew stronger we became inseparable. She never grew out of her behavioral disorder and was always very distrusting about new people, but she knew that papa would always be there to protect her.
It was truly as if we had a spirit link together, we were able to communicate with each other so well. When she got a little older she really learned to love her toys so much, nothing got her more excited than getting a new one. Even when I would carry her to bed, she always had to have a toy right next to her, if I didn't bring her one she would quickly jump down to go grab one to bring it back to bed. I didn't list this as one of her nicknames, but I also sometimes called her the sandman, because even if I wasn't tired, when I would hold her while she was sleeping she would always make me fall asleep too. She was such a happy and energetic baby, even though she was almost 13 years old she never showed any signs of old age, she even looked like a young dog with a little puppy head .
But on the morning of January 13th, she started to have a massive seizure. I rushed her to the vet and all they could do is sedate her and give her a drug to help stop the seizure, the medicine wasn't working and the seizure kept coming back. The vet said that because of her age she probably has a tumor in her brain causing it, and after about 4 hours the vet recommended that we euthanize her. I felt my whole life crashing as I was about to lose my best friend. Her passing was too sudden, we should have had many years left together. I am so completely lost without her. I love you so much Maggie, I will never be able to replace you or forget you.
