It’s our fifth Maggie-versary! We adopted Maggie — a red heeler, kelpie, staffie mix found wandering around the bush near Dubbo, NSW — five years ago today.

Sadly our little doggo spent this morning and early afternoon at the vet getting some non-urgent dental work done. She’s back now, but is still worn down from the general anaesthetic.
At least she’s been reunited with her pack so she can rest properly.

The folks at Hobsons Bay Veterinary Clinic are fantastic, by the way. 10/10 would recommend.
Also, I love the design of the crepe bandage they used to hold the drip needle in place :)
Photo of a dog’s foreleg that has a green crepe bandage wrapped around it. The bandage has large blue paw prints stamped along its length.
The nurse said to keep Maggie warm but she’s managing that just fine on her own – given it’s a bright and sunny 34 degrees in Melbourne this afternoon!
Photo of a dog sitting on the grass in a residential garden on a bright, sunny day. The dog has its eyes half closed.
When she’s indoors, though, we give her a bit of a hand.
Photo of a red dog asleep on a towel that’s been placed across a leather sofa. The back half of the dog is covered with a soft blanket.
Overall she’s a little tired and a little stressed, but she’s eating well and is recovering nicely.
