During one of my teenage temper tantrum days, my mom said, "Even dogs are better than you ungrateful kids". She is probably right. Dogs are loyal creatures. Rain or shine, they are so happy to see you each day. They are selfless and the love they exude, typically indicated by the swift wagging of their tails and a grin on their face with floppy, non-confrontational ears, is just priceless.
Maggie, our 3 year old yellow lab, has provided the gap/love that my parents have been yearning. She has brought immense life into our family. She is my mother's favorite child. She is the snow-ball of Anchorage, Alaska. She is Maggie.
