I am happy to report (through a tear or two) that Maggie and Scooby went home with their forever family tonight. Talk about a tug on the heart strings. Both Maggie and Scooby were the most awesome house guests. And, of course, Maggie, being the irresistible senior she is, completely stole my heart. Maggs and Scooby are going to be very happy in their new home. They will have a brand new fenced yard, a lake for Maggie to do water aerobics and for Scooby to retrieve until his heart's content, and a nature preserve nearby that they'll frequent with their family. They get a stay at home mom, dad, 7 year old human boy and 4 year old human girl to give them all the lovin' they can handle. Check out the family picture :) Scooby's face looks a little goofy - maybe he was in mid-chew on a treat :) I sure am going to miss those two - what precious, precious fur-kids! Of course, they are welcome to visit any time!!! Maggs, don't forget to "speak", and Scoobs, don't forget to shake, with both paws, before dinner. And, give lots of kisses to your humans to let them know how much you appreciate their love and kindness. Be good kids! Love, Foster Mom XOXO

Meet Maggie and Scooby. Maggie is 13.5 years young and Scooby is 3 years old. Maggie and Scooby joined the RAGOM Family due to their humans accepting a missionary assignment in Austria. It's very obvious that Maggie and Scooby are loved and will be sadly missed by their family. Their family asked that RAGOM adopt them out together as they felt Maggie and Scooby would be lonesome without each other. Maggie and Scooby are wonderful fur-kids with great manners - and beautiful and handsome to boot! I've only heard Maggie bark when I tell her to "speak" for her dinner (instructions from her former human) and I don't believe I've heard Scooby bark yet. As you can see from the picture, Scooby uses Maggie as his pillow when they sleep. Obviously Maggie's snoring doesn't keep him awake :)
They are going to the vet to get a once over and a microchip this week, and I'll write more after that. Aren't they beautiful?

Hi World! It's Maggie and Scooby, the dynamic duo! All is well in foster care. We get to run and play, eat healthy, and we're even getting a spa session next week Maggie snores, but she makes a great pillow (Scooby speaking). Scooby is a great little brother - he likes to make sure I'm settled and comfy before he heads upstairs to bed with the other pups - unless there is a treat - I'll lost to a peanut butter bone :) (Maggie speaking). . That's about it for now. Oh, wait. Here's a picture of the biggest pup in the house (Maggie) next to the littlest pup in the house (Bailey). Cute, huh? We'll check back soon! Love, Maggs and Scooby

Hi Everyone! Maggie checking in. I visited Dr. Julie yesterday and got my once over. I'm proud to say that I had her completely fooled. She did not believe that I was 13.5 years young. I'm only slightly gray and, even though I weigh 112 lbs (I know, I know), I get around famously. Nothing bothers me. Not stairs, not getting up and down, nothing. I even try to jump a bit, but my front paws usually don't get more than two inches off the ground. Foster mom doesn't like it when I jump because she's afraid that I'll hurt myself. I do have some lumps and bumps, but they are all benign. Bottom line, I'm pretty darn healthy for a senior gal. Dr. Julie told me keep doing what I was doing, cause it obviously was working for me. She did say that it wouldn't hurt to drop one or two pounds (she may have said more, but I only heard one or two). I'm now microchipped (not that I'd ever leave your side) so I will always be able to be tracked back to RAGOM should I ever decide to wander off. Here's a picture of me in my favorite relaxing position. Foster mom (Bailey either) doesn't understand how it can be comfy for me, but I rather enjoy it. Oops, I heard "bed time", and that translates into "treats" for me.
Gotta run. Talk soon.
