"It has been a good run with Andy and Bethany. After a somewhat rocky start as a puppy with that terrifying crate and Andy's futile attempts to voice-train me, the Nagels and I enjoyed a good many years together. They replaced both of my knees after frisbee-chasing injuries, fed me every day (it was so exciting each time!) and let me run around and sniff a lot of stuff. They never kicked me, even when I barfed on the carpet all those times. Things became especially fun when those smaller humans Zach and Caleb showed up, although it took a little while to get used to the constant tail and ear tugging and I did notice that I went on shorter walks.
However, I knew that it was time to move on when I heard that there was yet another small human that would be joining the family. I started shopping my resume around but the doggie jobs are scarce these days. Then, a great opportunity arose for me to go live with Ellen, this nice lady who Bethany calls "Mom" and the boys call "Mamoo." When her dog Annie went to heaven, I applied for her position...and got it!
So it's clear to me that it's time for me to move on into the next phase of my life. I'm very excited to live in Colorado with someone like Ellen (Annie had it pretty dang good, from what I saw.) And, of course, I'm happy to work hard keeping another person company. I'm really good at it! I'm also happy for the Nagels and hope that new little guy comes soon. Woof!"
So, Maggie flew on a plane to Colorado last week and is now enjoying the good life out in Colorado where the streets are paved with gold and dogs run around unleashed. We miss her (especially how she cleaned up under the dinner table!), but are glad for her new life in Colorado!
