Two more quick notes from our vacation that we forgot to tell you about -

First, Maggie got a pillow from the new pet store in New Buffalo ("Beach Tails"). We end up stopping in here pretty much every trip now. They keep telling us to bring Maggie, but we opted out of taking "Boots" (Kat took to calling her that this past week) just yet. Anyway, she always ends up with something - usually edible - but she really seems to like the new pillow. Kat picked it up our first night there to try to make Mags feel better. One night as I was going to bed I looked over and she was sleeping with her head perfectly resting on it - dumb luck I'm sure, but it was still adorable.
Second, well, I guess this also involves a Beach Tails purchase. Kat bought some doggie yogurt "Yoghund" for Mags. We gave it to her in a bowl, which she licked a few times before deciding either to move it, or that she wanted to eat it all at once. It was very funny when she picked up the whole chunk of frozen yogurt and jammed the entire thing in her mouth. She looked up with this giant frozen mass in her mouth, which then began to melt at the same time as triggering her saliva glands. Huge drips of now not-so-frozen yogurt and saliva ran down her face before she finally dropped it on her towel. The look on her face during all of this was priceless.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I also adopted a labradoodle that was rescued from the same mill. His name is George and I got him on May 4th from a rescue group in Grays Lake. As I read your blog stories, I cannot believe the stories because I have had basically the same experiences. I am so glad that Maggie has found such a great home. It sounds like you live in Chicago. So do we, so maybe we will see you around some time! I am sure George would love to play with Maggie!! I will be checking your blog to see how Maggie is doing!
Thanks. Carla (Chicago, IL)
