    Re: Introducing Maggie

    Thanks everybody for your sweet comments. Maggie is my one in a million dog - I wish I could slow time down a little. She seems pretty happy overall so we just enjoy each day. I got her a really pretty santa dress the other day - i will post that one after Halloween.

    We tried trick or treating a couple of years ago walking around with my neighbor's little girl - they were both pirate girls. Some kid had thrown candy on the ground and I had to wrestle it out of her mouth but luckily no harm done.

      Ok, just had to post....this has got to be my favorite costume. I think she could even use it for a White House Gala.

      and what's this.... We have a new moderator (did I miss an announcement?) With all that is this forum I think attaining the position of moderator is high praise indeed. Congratulations!

          Aww thanks for the sweet comments about my little diva. She is such a great girl to let me torment her with clothing. She loves attention, though, so I think she really likes to dress up secretly

          I have never been a moderator so I am living and learning but this forum is so important and helps so many. I just hope I can do it justice and not mess anything up permanently.

                      Re: Introducing Maggie

                      So, when people post here about their dog eating forbidden food, I was always grateful that Maggie never even tries to get our food, even if we drop it on the floor in front of her. So, today I had to stop at the pharmacy on my way home. I had gotten the very yummy honey glazed ham for Thanksgiving at the grocery and had the dogs with me. I came out to the car to find her face in the ham bag chowing down! Her face hair is the color of that glaze they put on the ham. I think she only got a slice or two at the most.

                      She is NOT a cute princess today - she is a total jerk.

                        Re: Introducing Maggie

                        Oh, Amy, I'm so sorry! For most dogs I'd find humor in the act but give Maggie's history, I hope it does not spurr a bout of pancreatitis for her.

                        When Kinser was a pup we'd cooked a ham and picked off what we could, put it in the fridge and put the carcass in the trash (which still had a healthy amount of ham/fat on it). Went out with friends and came home to find he'd gotten into the trash and picked it clean. He had the runs for a few days but other than that was fortunate to survive his trash diving incident with no other issues. To this day he'd pick it clean again if given the opportunity. When we moved in 2010 one of my favorite features of the new house was that we have a cupboard tall enough to put the trash can in as a lid has never been sufficient restraint to keep Kinser out of the trash.

                        Hoping for the best for all of you!

                          oh my amy

                          my jesse is a junk yard dog every walk we take entails picking up something to crunch on . the only way to stop her would be not to take her and thats not gonna happen . so far no big problems but yes its very frustrating . i still get upset

                          in the end dogs will be dogs and look for opportunity your baby probably does better than most not indulging her innermost desires

                          i dont think a slice would hurt her but we know you will keep a close eye on her

                          oh the forbidden fruit the sugar pups just love it

                            The picture of Maggie buried in the ham is priceless, However, hope all stays well...They sure can trick you.

                              thank goodness you didn't take longer in the store! I hope it doesn't bring on an attack either, little stinker!

                              Is it cats ham is bad for? I had a client who has about 20 barn cats and she was feeding them some of the free Christmas hams she received till her vet told her it was bad for cats. I can't remember why.

                              Fingers crossed The princess's system can handle this.

                                So far so good - no violent illness. Her bg was only 170 at 6 pm. I really expected it to be 700. Her face still smells like honey glaze though. I learned my lesson though. There is a first time for everything and I can't blame her. Those hams smell so good.

                                I sometimes think it is so sad they can't indulge themselves just every once in a while.
