Magnolia, better known to all as Maggy

September 1987:   Maggy was a runt, and in this picture she has been "ours" for only a few minutes.

 
She was a very cute puppy.

 
Maggy was our "first child." This jack-o-lantern, by the way, was inspired by Picasso.

 
This was her first experience with snow.....

 
Maggy's favorite place was the beach.

 
She especially loved to ride in the creek boat.

Once we really had children Maggy assumed a new role as family pet.

 
 
The children adored her. 
She tolerated them very well.
Although she did have to endure some serious indignities.
Maybe the worst thing we inflicted on Maggy was in her final year, when Pepper arrived. 

 
Goodbye Mags- we miss you.
