Maggie Mae

Maggie Mae Samuelson turns 6 years old this month (we think) that is 48 in dog years! We don't know her birthday since we adopted her from the shelter but at the time they guessed she was about 6 months old. She is a mutt but mostly lab. She won the parent lottery when we brought her home, she was sick with kennel cough, and one unruly pup. She has turned out to be a pretty good dog and Abi's best friend. Her beak is getting grey and she is slowing down, but she is still at the prime of her life. Maggie is also a hero..... A few years back our neighbors electrical box blew up in the middle of the night and their house caught on fire, it knocked all the power out on our street. Brad and I were sound asleep when Maggie leaped over the baby gate and jumped on our bed. The exploding of the electrical box scared her to death and she jumped the gate to find us and hide. I ignored her but Brad woke up enough to see a glow coming in our bed room window. He looked over at his clock and our power was out so he got up and looked out the window to see the side of our neighbors house on fire! He woke me up and called 911 as he was running over to wake them up. I went outside and started yelling at our neighbor to get out. Our neighbor is an older man that lives alone and he did get out with only smoke inhalation but the fire fighters said he barely got out in time.

     Ohhhh, look at that grey beak, a face only a mother could love
