!Lucky Tails!

Our favorite boy!
   

   This is Jack.  Once upon a time, not so long ago, his name was Hansel.  Hansel has a sister who's name was Gretel, together they were dropped off at an animal shelter and waited their turn to find their forever homes.

Me mummy had been following his story, asking, hoping he would be saved.  She wanted to adopt him as a new best friend for me Kitty-Nana.  Me mummy just knew that Hansel would be the perfect companion for Nana and that she would be the most wonderful forever friend for him.

 Then,  one day, mummy heard that their time... was up. 
She was so sad that these beautiful babies were going to die for no reason - other than they were "out of time", because the shelter could no longer afford the keep them, feed them, shelter them.  

Suddenly, while awaiting their ends, a group named Pet Tails came to the rescue, Just in Time!!!

The second she heard the news that the puppies were pulled from the euthanasia room in a last second rescue, she got on the phone with the owner of Pet Tails to scoop him up.  As it turned out, five other people had the same idea.  Me mummy wrote a shining review for me Kitty-Nana and gave several references, one of whom was her Auntie who replied to Pet Tail's owner "I would want to be reincarnated as one of the family dogs, they are treated like royalty!".   I am happy to report that Me Kitty-Nana was chosen as Hansel's new forever friend!!!   Gretel too found a new forever loving home only a few towns away from me Nana!  

They immediately took to each other when Nana went to meet her new boy, they both smiled happily and me Nana cried happy tears, and named him Jack.  A new name that was perfectly fitting for his new life.

There are many new adventures to be had, and we will share them here on Mo's blog!!  So keep your eyes open. 

On a sadder note (and I never like to end on sad notes, but this is very important):  
   It is too too often that these cases do not end happily, not just for doggies, but for kitties, horses, birds, rabbits, and any other kind of animal you can think of.  It is too often that we look the other way and say "I wish I could" but do nothing.  All it takes is a moment of your time to spread news and share that an animal is looking to be saved and live a wonderful life, just a few dollars that you may have spent on an unnecessary pair of pretty heals or a new hunting jacket to save a little love's life and find that home that will love them their whole lives. 

I would like to say thank you with all of me puppy-heart to ALL of the people out there with galactic sized hearts who spend endless hours working to animal rescue, making the world a better place one life at a time.

Lots of love and hope,
your forever friend - Maggie-Mo.

Mo Want Candy!!!

Sweet e'llo everyone,

It was a scorcher today! Me couldn't make up my mind if me wanted to be under my favorite trees or inside where it was cooler.  Me almost melted into a puddle of fur.  Me mummy got me a pool to cool me belly off in as well, but to no avail.  Finally me plunked myself on the floor in front of the Air Conditioner in our dining room and took several cool naps.

Me heard a light dingling tune run through my dream (Me was chasing the rotten squirrels in our neighborhood),  when I woke up and coming around the bend was the ice cream truck.  I remembered that all the kiddies in the area running up to it excited walking away with cones, bomb pops, and ice cream sannies and then I thought about all the times that me Mummy gave me ice cubes to crunch on - me figured it was the same thing, so without wasting any time me begged Mummsie to let me out.  Me ran down the street, greeting the truck with more enthusiasm than any of the little squirts with two legs.

The kids pushed in front of me and got their sweeties and when it came to me, the man behind the counter looked out at me with his coke bottle glasses and smiled, then went back behind the wheel. Me barked at him "Hey you guy, bark bark bark...." he just laughed and began the truck "me want one" me sounded out with my puppy speak.  But off he drove.  Watching as he drove away, me thought it so unfair.  "What's wrong with my girl?" Mummsie said as she followed me into the house and me thumped down on the floor pouting.

After dinner, me parents put me in the truck for a ride, me figured we was going to the river to swim, but drove right by it and down the road, where me began to smell something yummy on the hot air.  to a building that had a huge pink awning. sniffing out the window, there was something yummy on the hot air.  Out of the car me hopped and followed a large group of sandals and flip flops and one huge pair of hairy feet up to the building where they shuffled slowly up to a window.  Each pair of legs carried away a cone or dish of Ice cream!! Holy shnikies - we were here to have ICE CREAM!!
Me waited pacing excitedly for my turn, watching the girls at the window hand out endless mulit-layered scoops with cherries, and candies, and rainbow-colored sprinkles toping each delicious serving. Me looked at the selections and let mummsie know what me wanted; Once it was our turn a sweet girl greeted me with a smile and took me mummy's order - "a big one for me" me whimpered in anticipation.  Me watched as the girl in pink spooned out several large scoops of purple yumminess and handed it through the window.  Me began to drool like never before, big puddles forming on the walkway.  Mummsie and Diddy sat under an umbrella teasing me with every lick they took of their cool treats, with each passing lick me thought, this is it, me gets the rest! But no, they finished it off leaving me with a sad purple stained cone to snack on.  Yes it was cool and yes it tasted yummy, but me thought me'd get me own.  I was thoroughly disappointed again, for the second time today.  
They put me back into the car and closed the door, me was about ready to disown them for the rest of the day when suddenly two girls in pink came up with bowls of vanilla soft serve adorned with cute little puppy treats - Really? This was all for MO?!?  Me licked away elated.  Oh what delight!!! It was sticky, and sweet and cold on me tongue and slid cooly down into me hot belly.

Me even tried to eat the bowls, it was sooooo soo soooo soooo gooood!!!


 
Mummy and Diddy gave me pets and kisses after "was that good our girl?" they asked with big sticky smiles.  Me wagged me tail contented and cooled down from the long hot hot day.  Me belly was so full that me didn't even stick me head out the window to catch the breeze.

Tonight me will sleep well, happily, me belly cooled down and dream of that darned chipmunk family that is living under our patio, they keep teasing me...  {:o}

Ni'nights!  XO - Candy-Girl Mo.

Chocolate salty ..... Yumminess!!!

The weather has cooled a bit, but best of all the humidity has seemed to curl up and die...Ahhhhh!!!  Anywoof - this means me Diddy is going away for a "guys" weekend fishing in Ontario, and me Mummy always like to send them away with treaties.  So today, after a nice long walk and a game of bally (I love me bally!) I helped her make a batch of not just brownies - but triple layer brownies - these marvels include chocolate chip cookie dough - OREOS - and brownies, and if that wasn't enough there is also a layer of chocolate fudge topping!! HOLY CHOCOLATENESS (not that I know what this tastes like, but it looks divine).



 Mummy - Mo is here to help!
Ok, I'll help with the butter - you want me to melt it? I'll just use me tongue!!! 

NomNom!!!!!!Here you go, it's all melted!



What do you mean that wasn't what you meant??? 




Now we add some flour....



 And then some eggys - ok this does not look delicious!

 
 But this sure does, I love licking the bowl (Ok this one was staged for dramatic effects, you know how the saying goes - If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun - Katherine Hepburn)

 Final results are in - holy yumminess.... 

I don't know how the fishing will go, but I do know these treats won't even make it all the way to Canada - eh!  

Have a treaty filled weekend!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that..and sometimes a little bit more

The day always starts out so well when  Mummy & Diddy are at work, me chases me tail - it's rather playful you see, taunting me and always just barely out of reach, running me in circles until me is dizzy, or until it's caught itself in one of the plants - she's also quite clumsy. 
After I is done pulling the silly stick out of me tail, I does a bit of Yoga, it really is the best to do sixty-minutes a day of exercise and besides rolling in a bit of mud or running after me bally, Yoga is me favorite - mostly "downward dog".  Then...
I like to do a bit of light reading before me takes a nappy to rest a bit to break up the day..

I chew on me bally, making it squeak until it sounds sad and dead-like...unmoving


...And then I play Hide-N'-Seek with me friends.  5..4..3..2......1 1/2.....1 1/4.....1...







"Here Mo come!"





I look up and immediately see me friend Tristan "hiding", not behind me food bowl, but his face in it, stealing me Yumyumms!  Silly bum,  that was way too easy.  Then I look around a bit, hear a pucky-pop-pop sort of sound; there I find Willow-Kapoot...





peeking around the corner, who also, funny enough, seems to be eyeing me dinner bowl...hmmmmmmm
Willow-Kapoot

Looking around for a long while, in corners, under the stairs and beds, along with under me pillows (one of her favorite spots to pop out a scare me from), Noomi is not to be found.  I finally give up with a tired huff.  Just as I'm about to fall asleep into me second nap of the day, I hear a heavy crinkling coming from beyond the hallway.
Noomi

I know that sound better than the sound of cheese wrappers, it's me Yumyumms bag, I just know it.  I bolt into the closet and barked loudly; out pops a startled looking Noomi, crumbs all over her sticky claws.

Here I was trying to have a fun filled game of hide and seek and all me friends wanted to do was steal me food - I guess everyone is plain hungry!!  I have to admit, I too am becoming a bit famished.  Game over, its time for a snack.



I poke around the kitchen for a bit until me remembers - I hasn't go no thumbs, and can't pull out the stuffs on high-shelves, where all of the good stuffs live.  So me starts sniffing around for anything that Mummy or Diddy might have left behind (Diddy likes his late night snacks and sometimes leaves treaties behind).  But not this time I guess.  I'll have to wait for dinner time... and me tummy rumbles.  I try to take another nappy with me hungry bunch, but.....

...The truth is, at this point of the day, me starts getting a bit bored.  I does the best me can... but a girl can only be left alone for so long.  So, I get creative, start sniffing around - me nosey likes to help me find things to do, and some days, me nosey leads me to a tiny room where a basket of interestingly smelly-like things are sitting around.  I push a few items around with me nose finding paper. I LOVE the sound paper makes while I tear it apart -  fiiiiiiitttttt fiiiiiiitttt fiiiiiiiiiiiiittTTTTtttttt, it always keeps me attention - So that's exactly what I do -

Fffiiiitttttt
      FffffIIIIIttttttttttt     FiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTTTTtttttttTTTTTtttttt..... mmmmm...me gots some sphhhhhhearmint floss too....mmmmiiiinnnnttttyyyy.....

I don't hear the front door open...








"M  A  G  G  I  E  -  M  O!  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !"
Me Mummy yelps - "What have you done now? - Uuggghhh!!!"

Me tries to thinks quickly - me tries to hide - me jumps into the bath - BUT... too late, she's caught me.

"well no treaty for you little miss" she scolds with one eyebrow raised (I swear sometimes she really is half Vulcan).  I tried to blame Tristan, I tried to blame Noomi, I even tried to blame Willow Kapoot who would have been the perfect scape-octopus, but not one of them was anywhere around, I was on me own in this one.  I felt a bit bad for a while, I looked at me mummy pitifully with sad me eyes, sat down to think about what I had done wrong, and as I thought about it, me suddenly remembered that 
someone once said (and it seems to have stuck, 'cause everyone me knows says it), "there's a lesson in everything"...So me guess' what me's learned today is; It's never a good idea to leave a Maggie-Mo alone for very long, It's never really me fault that me does these stuffs.  And perhaps is would be an advisable idea for someone with able thumbs to shut doors to rooms they do not want curious kids like me in while they isn't looking.  Aaaannnndddd.. perhaps someone would be kind enough to leave me a few treats to snack on during the day so me and me curious nosey don't go looking for snackies in untraditional places. What a rotten end to the day.

Mummy Didn't seem to take me suggestions seriously, and so the next day she and Diddy went off and did their jobs - building schools and writing adventure stories for hopeful publishing success, leaving me here alone, doors open, mischief to be had, no treats again. 
I sure wish there were at least some treats to keep me at bay for the rest of this long long long long rainy day.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................KER-THUMP-bump-ump.......



  What in the heck?

           HOLY CRICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!

                         I sure don't know how this happened, but, Me wont tell if you doesn't - teeheeeeee
  - Sometimes wishes do come true. Here's to wishing you unexpected treaties (you never know).   XOX - Maggie Mo

The Warrior.

Before Ni'nights a couple nights ago Diddy and me engaged in a game of "rough-up", this is a game we play often, but this particular night the game went into overtime as we'd come to a paw to hand tie.

At the end (the winner was undoubtedly me - just in case you for some silly reason though otherwise), Diddy and I snuggled for a bit - both panting in exhaustion.  "My awesome girl" he said wheezing out of breath smiling "that was epic!!"

When we finally made it up the stairs to bed, I found me Mummy passed out in the guest room with her computer in hand, so I jumped up and made me-self comfy with her (she's a really fantastic bed sharer - unlike selfish-Diddy).

<<<Later that night I found me-self in a MMA fighting cage- head to head with Diddy,  I threw paw swings and he tried to trip up me feet, I barked loudly at him and he pulled me tail, I spun around with a fake tail bite and lunged at his leg - but before I could get to it **BOOM** I found me self squished>>>
suddenly a light went on and I heard a sweet voice come from the Ref "Maggs!!!" ... I blinked "Mo-mo my love what happened?" the sweet voice half laughed - The Ref was me own Mummy, the fight cage suddenly vanished from site, I found me-self in the bedroom, I should say under the bed, between a bunch of pillows, the mattress and the wall.

"you scared me and I was in the middle of such a great dream" Mummy said, pulling the bed away from the wall - "come on then" she tried to lift me up, but me was pinned and twisted in such a way, that it took her over 10 minutes to get me out "that must have been one heck of a dream my girl" she said petting me,  I shook me body, it was I thought.

Mummy straightened out the bed and the pillows and me and put a border up between me and the wall
She said "I don't want you to roll off again little one" and packed me in tight with her.  I put me paw on her hand as we fell back into a deep sleep - no more fighting tonight I promised... but I didn't promise that I would go on a wild chase with the next door Emu...





Until next time, sweet dreams and fun adventures.
