I heard Maggie bark tonight when I came home just now. I did. She knew the sound of my Jeep and knew when I was home. At the apartment in Auburn I had to park away from the building so she would not bark when I came home. But tonight I heard her.
She always had a whine before the actual bark. So the whine/bark came then always three more higher-pitched-than-normal barks followed. Always. It was always the same. Her "Mom is back" bark was different then any other bark.
I heard her as soon as I went around the side of the Jeep. My brain automatically went to "I am coming Maggie" and then the jolt of reality followed.
I've really been having a hard time again these last few days. I think about her on the couch with me and going in the Jeep and just being with me. I miss her so much and I expect I always will.
I knew I would miss her, but I have no idea of the magnitude of which I would do so.
My eternal love, gratitude, and awe for you my Miss Maggie Mae. My world is darker without you. I will never understand.

Soon you will have a little one to learn to "heel"
Love you,
