I will only be out of site for a few min…I say…”you can wait I will be right back” and she knows it is ok to wait for me…I wont be long…it seams like I am carrying on our relationship just like it has been for last 9 years just like she is here….I have never been thru this…and wonder if this is normal…I have her ashes in a little box…people will think I am nuts if they see me talking to a little box…but that is what I do….</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PyRDoE2Lrsk/VaZtDtoz1DI/AAAAAAAAIns/ONj9jplabaA/s1600-h/20150708_190537%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150708_190537"

<p>This is the Maggie I see when I open the door to enter the rig…when she has been waiting for me…</p> <p>Well I think that’s all I will say about that for now…and move on to Maggie’s little funeral…and I say that because that is exactly what they made it where I took her to be cremated…I took her to a pet crematory (one vet office would do it but I was not at all comfortable how they did things) so I went with what my vet had already set up for me…</p> <p>So on Friday morning daughter & S-I-L and I  went to pick Maggie up…took her to the crematory….when I walked it told them my name and they said is this little Maggie the Papillon…that was so heart warming and made me feel so welcome…one of the girls Sara…said she would come out and carry her in…I said we could do  it but  she insisted….then we met Matt who would actually work on Maggie…he told me he would clean her up and I could come and visit with her…when he came back to get me…kids couldn’t go …so I said that was very ok…I really wanted to be alone…Matt took me back to a little room…and there was my Maggie…they had covered a little tray like thing that looked just like a little casket with out a lid …with red velvet (I think it was red anyway) she was covered with some white taffeta with her new little blankie I had made for her…with a little packet of some kind with  flowers on it I think they were roses….she looked so sweet and beautiful ….then he said I will leave you alone take all the time you want….so spent my last time with my girl praying and taking to her in a beautiful setting with so much kindness and sympathy around us….it was very beautiful time and I was kind of on a high when I finally left…</p> <p><a

park in Florida…our first selfie!</p> <p>When I was ready to leave…I had been told we could return for her later in the afternoon to get my girl…this is a very busy place it cremates every day… and they do private cremations and that is what I wanted…because they also do our people  loved ones  as well as pets…he told me that he would wrap her in the blankie as I requested…gave me a copy of the prayer that he says over them at the time…he will cut some of her fur …by her heart …her back and ear…that will be placed in a plastic bag with poem that goes along with it…and a little silicon square with her tiny paw print…I had already picked out a little box that would hold her pic in the front of it…they were so very kind and considerate treating you with love and respect for your little fur baby…they reminded my of how the undertaker treated us when my brother died … I did not know it would be this way with my little doggie Maggie girl….I have to tell you it was a beautiful experience </p> <p>As a post script…the other day I was walking up the street towards milo & lexi’s house they were on the sidewalk mama let lose of their leashes and milo took of like a streak running toward me…what a sweetie…I had a little toy bunny of Maggie’s hanging out of my pocket and he was curious as to what it was…so I took it out and showed it to him…he got ahold of an ear and tried to pull it away from me…I could not give him that one but went home and got him a toy of Maggie’s he grabbed it ran of with it…not even letting Lexi take a look see at it…Mama Terri said he has been carrying it around ever since…</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IgKvDZYGQoY/VaZtFwyFzVI/AAAAAAAAIoM/h8qE88m_Kfw/s1600-h/20150709_063631%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img title="20150709_063631" border="0"

Maggie went in her own time and in her own way. She was not sick for long and she was with the person she loved the most. One cannot ask for much more than that. Maggie had a wonderful life filled with adventures and travel and she was very happy with that. In time, you will be able to focus on all the positive aspects of Maggie's time with you. That is what she would want you to do and you will always have her with you. Hugs and more peaceful days ahead.</p> <p><a href="http://grammyandthepapillonprinces.blogspot.com/2015/07/">Reply</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=1298685375857212506&postID=7889511013850184320">Delete</a></p> </li> <li> <p><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9UuZ9x0uT2o/VYbTW8h6M3I/AAAAAAAAL0E/eR2JipKaC_M/s35/*" /></p> <p><cite><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/04598961939363561237">DearMissMermaid</a></cite><a href="http://grammyandthepapillonprinces.blogspot.com/2015/07/home-againand-it-was-over.html?showComment=1436900914476#c7641883709782999080">July 14, 2015 at 12:08 PM</a></p> <p>I am just oh so sorry for your pain.

was next…..<p>Please know that this is a sad heartbreaking story and it is ok if you want to pass up the next few post…but this is something I have to do for me…I need to get this out…so sorry if it upsets you …</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0vTEG9gU9gg/VapJpqwHLkI/AAAAAAAADTA/hoYrV_jKba8/s1600-h/20150601_1052403.jpg"><img title="20150601_105240" style="border-left-width: 0px;

align="center"><font color="#ffffff">A happy day!</font></p> <p>The rest of the day she was somewhat active but not her usual bouncing self..I was watching her breathing and it was not changing any during the day….she did eat a little more food …the people food…I thought by that time she can have anything she wanted  and I was sorry for not giving her people food that she loved…she was always looking for crumbs …sweetheart…..at some point I started to call my family members…my sister first …as she was the closest to Maggie…and Maggie loved her and uncle Ron ….my kids … my daughter and son in law were really close to as she stayed with them for her first two weeks until I could go get her…and son in law was the first person to bond with her…but I won’t go into all that stuff right now…</p> <p>Word spread around the neighborhood…and she was seeing and reacting as normal to her friends….everyone was so sad and crying….because Maggie is a very sweet lovable baby girl….and everyone loved her….</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--IfHOrhxQ2Y/VapJrIWj6BI/AAAAAAAADTY/Q0A5K4X0McU/s1600-h/20150609_1415333.jpg"><img title="20150609_141533"

height="243" /></a></p> <p align="center"><font color="#ffffff">Maggie in her seat…checking on her Mama…</font></p> <p>I am not sure at this point when it started but maybe late afternoon early evening….her respirations started to get worse…by the time we went to bed it was not very good….I was awake all night…she did sleep some ..I think I kept her awake shinning my little flash light on her…or touching her telling her I love her…at midnight time for her pill and she would not take it even with the people food…but did drink…at eight in the morning  I called the vet and they thought it was time for her to go…so got appointment for around 9 this was just 24 hrs that I first learned she was so sick…so picked up my sister and we went…and by the time we got there…she was breathing much better she had rallied…they had everything ready..doc came in we talked…I ask for another exam and she did… I wanted to see x-ray again so my sister could see…and we did that…I just guess I want more conformation I was doing the right thing.…this is a very hard dissection to make…all most beyond what  your mind can comprehend…after the exam ..vet said she felt Maggie was about the same as the day before…in her breathing…I had told how she was in the night how bad her breathing was…and how much better it was now…they were still ready but after much taking and crying I ended up taking her home again…after she got a shot of steroid…and we went home…I want to say how very loving and caring this vet office is …Baker Animal Clinic…Maggie has been coming here since her first puppy check at age 8wks when I got her…I cant say enough about how good they were to us and took so much time with us…I probably have a couple more post to make…I really don’t want this b log to be a downer but as I said I have to do it for me…I am sure there will be more good coming I might be taking a trip to the middle of the state…..we will see…anyway thanks for looking and come back soon…G&still maggie</p>

Maggie girl was not long to be with me in this world….she had cancer that had spread to her lungs..starting at some other point in her little body…at this time a mute point it made no difference …they showed me the x-ray her little lungs had many many little tumors…at that time she told me it was terminal…and Maggie  did not have long…and offered to euthanize that day…well I was in total shock that was not an option for me at that time…I think maybe she did not explain enough to me just how sick my baby was…don’t get me wrong…these people at this office were so kind…</p> <p>Up to the night before she showed no signs of real sickness….for about a week before she had slowed down  in her eating ….other wise she was ok….still having fun and seeing her doggie fiends she has here….then on Tues. the 7th she did not eat at all…and in the middle of the night she wanted a drink of water I put her down and she had trouble making her back legs work stumbling around a little …I went to pick her up but then she walked over and got a drink…I put her back in bed and was so worried I just kept watching her the rest of the night…getting very little sleep…at one point in time she did cry out when I went to pick her up…so I was careful…and she never did it again…</p> <p align="center"><a

her around 11 …got right in…she check her all over …spine..hips …back and when she check her belly she tensed up somewhat…so x-rays were done…I waited…then she came in and said …I want to  show you the x-rays…showed me her little lungs….told me all those little white dots I was seeing were tumors…that she was not going to get better when I ask…by this time I was crying ….she said her time was short…soon…I did not understand how soon…then she offered that they could do the euthanize that day…I think not sure I screamed NO…I remember this woman is so young to be a vet…does she know what she is talking about…guess they call that denial…she told me also that her respirations were a little rapid…which I could see… but not as bad as it was in the night  she then said a steroid might  help…so we went with the pills…that might work and might not…work meaning she could have up to a couple weeks….</p> <p>So we took our pills and went home… it was left that I could  call at any time ..we got home just in time to see Chloe Maggie’s friend and her mama…standing in front of our house…I think they were put there by God…just when we needed someone…I was crying…we talked for a long time she was crying…you know how it goes…</p> <p>I took Maggie in the house fixed her some people food and got that and the pill in her….the one and only one she would take it….I will continue this on next post…</p> <p>thanks for looking and come back soon blessings to all  G&M</p>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: white;">I met this lady who had set up behind my RV, while I was at the sunrise Easter service held in my home park. Her name is Trisha and she is a local artist…she is working on a under painting taken from a photo of the eau Gallie river in the late 1900’s. She told me a lot of intresting history of the area, and made me even more want to get a kayak to explore up this river. </span><span style="color: white;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: medium;">Some things I have been working on…</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">I started working on a few of some tags I already had made up…I wanted to put some beady charms on them so they could be used as book marks. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Here is a close up of one so you can see a little better…I still want to do a craft show sometime this year…so I guess this is a good way to start when your muse is on vacation. Right click to see better.</span><br />

<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: medium;">And last but not least…</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">This is the flaming flamingo RV girl I have been working on…I got some chip board sticky letters from a craft store and after the first rain they started coming apart. So I painted them on with puff paint and put black /green glitter on them..I put welcome on the other side in case I wanted to use it some where not camping with the Women RV girls. She will live here in this spot in my RV unless I am camping…then she will be on a flag pole outside.</span><br />

<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial Black; font-size: medium;">Not doing much…</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">That’s about my life right now…not doing much..after the fun and adventure of Jan and part of Feb….the let down now is hard to take. I am getting antsy about heading north for the summer….I am ready now …but I don’t think the weather is ready for me yet…so that’s it for now thanks for looking and come back soon </span><br />
