The World According to Maggie

A Special Day..........

Today is a very special day. It is my Auntie Ann's birthday. She is my mom's older sister which makes her my aunt. Auntie Ann is my mom's very bestest friend besides being her sister. They were born 13 months apart and were best pals growing up. Oh, they had their ups and downs like me an Shiloh, but they have never stopped loving each other.

Aunti Ann always blazed the trails with Pappy and Granny. As soon as she got permission to do things like wear lipstick, Mom just dropped in line and did it too. Mom never had to do battle with the 'rents.

Auntie Ann always knows how to make Mom laugh, but will cry with her too. There are family fueds but Mom and Auntie Ann always stick together. They are a pack for sure.

When Auntie Ann turned 50, Mom bought her an old purple dress from the thrift store, a floppy straw hat with a hugh paper flower on it, and some old granny shoes. She made Auntie Ann wear them for her birthday party. Mom read her the poem..."I Shall Wear Purple ".
Auntie Ann went all over town showing off the outfit bragging that her sister gave it to her for her birthday. Mom started getting phone calls from the bank, grocer, and Post Office. It was so funny.

Fast forward a year when Mom turns 50................
Auntie Ann's gift to Mom was.....you guessed it....THE SAME OUTFIT!!! She told Mom she had to wear it all over town like she had done. Mom did and even took her camera to record the event. Just as Mom was ending the "event" she saw a poster with her photo on it. It was a plee to find her as she was deranged and needed pychiatric help!!
Mom nearly peed her pants. hehehehehe

Anyway, that is the kind of relationship they have. They share the good times as well as the bad. But most of all, they love each other. The bestest part is Auntie Ann loves me too!!!!
AROOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE ANN!!!

OH NO!!! IT'S NOT MY HOUSE ANYMORE!!!!

Mom and Dad have brought a new pup into MY house!! She is an obnoxious little brat. She plays with MY toys, eats from MY dish and gets the attention that should all be MINE!!!!
Shiloh has been here one whole week and reeked havoc on MY life. She has to be watched constantly. If she isn't chewing on something she is pottying on the floor!
But all in all, it is nice to have a sister to play with, as long as she understands I am boss!!!!

A very sad day.

Today has been a very sad day for all us pups on Westies Unite. Our sweet little Isis has become too sick and weary to continue here with us. Tomorrow after being loved and cuddled by her parents, she will be heading to the Rainbow Bridge.
Little Isis was born in a Puppy Mill and has had many battles to fight in her short life. But up until the past several days, she has been able to weather the storms. She has fought the good fight but her spirit is kinder to her than her little body has been. It is with great sadness that we , along with her parents, will say goodbye to her. I will always remember her as our Little Princess Warrior. May her Parents find peace in knowing, but for them, she probably would not have lived such a wonderful life.
So, Godspeed little one.
Maggie
