Missing Maggie
Poor Marley. He is missing his sister, Maggie, who is at the veterinary clinic. She has allergies and hasn't stopped scratching and licking her paws for days. Thankfully, the doctor was able to see her this morning and Maggie had to have a shot and her yearly vaccinations. I left her there so that she could get a nice, soothing bath, to help her itchy skin. They'll call me in a little while to come get her when she is done. When I came home without his sister, Marley kept walking around the house, looking for her. I let him out back to play, but he wasn't interested. He decided to wait on the top step for Maggie to come home. It is kind of nice to know that he actually LOVES Maggie after all. ;-)

















Awww, poor Marley! You can just see how sad he is. I hope Maggie is able to get some relief from her allergies. Both those babies are just adorable!

Oh, I just love that Marley face..dogs are such a big part of families. I don't remember seeing his pic before, Kim...but, he is a cutie too. That Maggie Mae just steals my heart...I would adopt her in a heartbeat.

Oh, that's so sweet! I hope Maggie is better and playing with Marley soon!
When my cats first met (one was 2, one was a kitten) they fought like...uhm...cats. Now they lay down nicely on my bed and sleep next to each other. They have a common enemy now...the dog. Although Shadow the dog is madly in love with the older cat. He's a strange chihuahua who plays with yarn and cat toys. Aren't animals fun?

Poor Marley... I hope Miss Maggie will be home soon to keep him company. I know my two pugs, Izzy and Lulu are the same way, where one goes so follows the other! I love your blog and will be adding a link from my own - I hope you don't mind!

I hope Maggie is all better soon.What a precious looking dog she is!
Some dogs are very allergic to lawn sprays.

Look at that sweet wistful face. He will be so happy to see Maggie!
Actually Marley looks like Molly does while she waits for J to return home. I know she loves me, but there is no doubt whose baby, she!!

Oh, poor doggies! I am positive they are both pining away for the other. Itsn't it wonderful how they become such good companions? We have a mother/daughter team of two schnauzers who keep life interesting. When one is gone, the other is lonely and lost.

Aaaw! He kind of looks sad in the photo. Hopefully she'll be back soon.

Oh look at that sad, but very sweet, face! I love how pets really do love one another! I hope Maggie feels better quickly... we had a cat who had terrible skin allergies and the poor thing had to wear those silly plastic collars which drove her (and US) bonkers!

Omigosh. I tuned in and saw the "Missing Maggie" headline and almost choked on my Kettle Corn! I thought the worst! Poor Mags. Allergies especially affect those closest to the ground and bare-pawed, huh? Should I send Trumpet over for a play date with Marly to cheer him up?

So sweet! When our pets were in the kennel while we were on vaction Maggie, our dog, would wine and get all excied when she saw Twinkle, our cat. Of course, Twinkle could have cared less. I hope that Maggie is feeling better soon.

Sweet Marley. I hope Maggie is home soon so Marley will be happy again. Is that what makes doggies lick their paws? Allergies? I catch Sophie doing it sometimes.

Awwwwww that's so sweet!!! It's funny how animals act around each other. We have 2 fur children as well, and they generally get along, but sometimes we really wonder. They'll chase each other, bite, scratch, wrestle, and then the next minute they're snuggled up together taking a nap.
I think it's all an act. Like they can't let us know that they do really love each other, after all.
God bless :)

Awe. I don't think I've met Marley before. He's adorable! Hope Maggie is better soon. We have to keep ours on food with no corn products. I use Innova.

What a beautiful dog! Is he Australian Shepherd? I used to have an Aussie; best, smartest, most loving dog I ever had. Marley looks so forlorn; bet he'll really cheer up when his buddy Maggie comes home!
