We lost our Maggie today. We are really still sort of in shock, it's all happened so quickly. She was coughing for a few days, then stopped eating, so I took her to the vet on Wednesday. She got a shot, still wasn't better the next day, got some chest xrays. Then our vet called and said it appeared that she had lung cancer - that he'd never seen anything like it before - usually lung cancer in dogs comes from cancer somewhere else in the body, but that this was primary lung cancer. So he gave us some medicine to see if it would make her more comfortable, and then we could make a decision. The medicine really didn't help, and we couldn't stand to watch her suffer. She was a really good dog (I know what you are thinking...all I did was complain about her. That's true - she made me crazy sometimes. But I did love her - craziness and all.) - she was an incredible hunter (Megan's sad that she won't get to hunt with her this year on her first hunting trips out with Daddy), and she had the sweetest disposition - she loved everyone. And she was just beautiful. We are all going to miss her terribly.

Aww, poor Maggie. She looks like she could be Carson's twin!
