Maggie turns 11!
Maggie is a rescue dog, so we guesstimated her birthday to be 5 December 2013. That means today she turns eleven :)
Here are some recent photos.
Curled up and asleep in her bed
Close-up photo of a red/brown dog curled up and asleep along the side of a grey dog bed. The dog has one of its paws over its snout and pushed up against one of the bed walls.
Asleep in her corner of the bedroom
Photo of a red/brown dog asleep in a grey dog bed. The dog has its head and one paw resting on the wall of the bed that's against the wall of the room.
Asleep in her downstairs bed
Photo of a red/brown dog asleep, with one paw over its face, in a dog bed that's lying in a living room.
Asleep with her rope toy
Photo of a red/brown dog asleep on the carpet in a living room. The dog is snuggling its red-and-black rope toy.
All ears while we wait outside the vet
Wide angle photo of a red/brown dog standing outside a vet surgery. The photographer is sitting on the ground and is leaning forward to scratch the dog on its neck. The wide-angle view of the photo have made the dog's ears look extra large.
Keeping a nose on the neighbourhood
Photo of a red/brown dog being walked on a red leash. The dog has stopped on a nature strip along the side of a road and is sniffing the base of a tree.
Stopping to smell the flowers
Photo of a red/brown dog being walked on a red leash sniffing at the base of a patch of purple flowers.
Sadly, we won’t have Maggie with us for too much longer. She has chronic kidney disease and likely just has a few months left to live.
She is living a good life though, with lots of love and cuddles and walks around the neighbourhood.
And while she might be a little slow these days, she is happy and is still very much up for a game of tug, like she was when I got home from work today :)
