Once upon a time, seven years ago today, a little dappled dachshund was born far far away in the land of Washington.
For seven years this little fur ball has brought so much happiness to her family. She's stubborn, she's ornery, she's sweet, and she's precious.
And she loves us so very much.
And she loves YOU so very much.
And yes, she loves her brother so VERY much too ...
Happy Birthday Maggie May! We love you!
Love,
Mommy
Happy Birthday, Maggie! I hope your mom does something wonderful for you today!
Kim, she is SO ADORABLE!!! My Bonnie is seven, too :D
Have a great weekend!
xoxo,
Ricki Jill

She's so fabulous, Kim! What would our lives be like without the love of our fur babies!
"Until you have loved an animal, a part of your soul remains unawakened"
This is on the wall at my vet's office. I have it framed in my office on a wall with all my fur loves, past and present.
Happy, happy birthday Ms. Maggie!

My dear husband gave me a new mini dachshund for my birthday (X-mas eve) She was born on Oct. 9. She is so tiny and cute as a button. I wish I knew how to attach a picture. I gave her the name Penny Lulu. She is a dapple too. Many people think she is a Basset hound puppy..but she is not, she is a true dachshund. If I can not get her potty trained soon I am going to go crazy. She just does not 'get it' yet.
Your Maggie is so cute. I know what joy she brings your family.

Oh, Maggie, Happy Birthday, honey! I love your next to last picture! If you lived closer, would have to go to Petco and get you something. In our little town we finally got a Petco store here. If you and Marley were here you could play in the snow before it melts away. You sure don't look like you ought to be seven years old! You and your family have a happy time today. Love from Okla, Cindy

Oh Kim,
What beautiful pictures of Maggie. I've got a little one of my own....Lucy. I love Lucy. Sure wish I could handle a camera like you so I could get some great photos of her. Dauschunds are the best little friends. I've given my sister two of them...finally got one just for me. Oh yeah, Lucy is 7 too!

Happy birthday Maggie! You have such a loving family and are one lucky little girl! So, you're 7? That actually makes you 49 in people years...almost the same age as your mommy...pretty scary huh? The next time she tries to tell you what to do, tell her your nearly the same age and she's not the boss of you!
