They pictures are all adorable - she is a love. Lola is looking down so happy for you and Maggie. And, yes, Lola certainly sent her to you. |

I'm seeing several pictures of puppy goodness. I just want to squish her in my arms and bury my face into that soft neck. |
I am seeing 3 
Thanks! |
Ok. Great. It was only registering one on my phone.  |
| I'm seeing 3 .

I see 4 - your camera is going to wear out taking photos of this cute puppy. |
| i love her already i see 4 pics already getting groomed how sweet are you home yet |
| About 4 more hours to home. We got her groomed because she was from a farm. I was afraid the farm animal scents would confuse my other dogs. |
| That's some true love if you were willing to drive that far up and down to get the new snugglebum. I love the left eye patch like my Yuki.
A lot of interesting pics in your album from what looks like a good drinking night out. |
| Oops. Husbands Xmas party with good friends. I am the one in the white blouse that maintained my decorum. Read: was sober. |
| Maggie looks adorable. congrats on the new snugglebum. |
| is lily with you ? |

No, unfortunately not. We knew she'd be miserable in such a long car ride.  |
| I'm so happy to hear YOU so happy!!!! I know your Lola is smiling down on you!!! |
| Oh what a happy little gal....
Lola certainly took part in all this! Congrats! |
| so we need to know how sweet lily finds are new sister?? plenty of picks of the meeting i am sure lily knows she was sent by lola |
| We are home. I am exhausted, but unbelievably happy. Maggie is truly my dream sheepie. Such a sweet baby. The dogs have already accepted her. As we speak, Lily is playing with Maggie. She is trying to be a careful big sister though. Maggie is coming out of her shell and doing little puppy sheepie squeaks. My cup runneth over.
I will write more tomorrow. I just want to enjoy my babies. Thank you all for all your kindnesses and for taking this journey with me. Words cannot express how much it means to me. You can look forward to enough pics to make you ill. Gina  |
| Yep seeing all the pics.
She's a really little sweetheart. Is her name Sweetpea or are you still deciding? |

She's a really little sweetheart. Is her name Sweetpea or are you still deciding? She is Maggie May. Sweetpea just wasn't working for her. |
| I like Maggie May and she looks like a Maggie May in the pics. |
| She's a cutie, I had a Maggie May in the pedigree name of my Peppa.
May she bring you years and years of joy and love just like my peppa did. She is so cute have fun and look forward to hearing how it all goes when she is home sweet home. Lots of piccys too |
| Congratulations on your beautiful girl! Love the name Maggie May. Happy all of you are home safe and sound--now enjoy! Lola is smiling down on you! |
| I just caught up with all this, I can't always visit the Bridge page.
What a roller coaster ride you have been on! I've had tears of sadness and joy reading about your adventure. I hope little Maggie May is letting you sleep at night. Certainly a gift from your baby in heaven and I would have absolutely done the same thing as you, given a chance  |
Oh, so happy for you. Maggie May is the absolute most perfect name for her. The pictures are so sweet, favorite is the "tilt". She has classy Sass at her tender age.  Congratulations. |
| I'm so happy that you are all home safely & soundly. Maggie May is so adorable! I can't wait to see more pictures! |
| Ok, so quick post about Maggie's ride home. 12 hours and PERFECT. I can’t tell you how easy she was. The minute the car moved, she was out. We decided to spend the night in Sacramento. I used Hotwire and it turns out the hotel we were booked at didn't accept dogs. Can you BELIEVE it?! So we did what we would do being us, we snuck her in.
I believe it is one of the cutest things I have EVER seen. Tim put her in our genuine Kona Coffee bag tote and tossed her blanket over her. She didn't move! Maggie seemed to understand she was on the DL (down low) for those less street savy than us ultra cool mid 40's folk. 
She slept in her crate and never made a peep. Daddy had to smuggle her out two times during the night to go pottie because Mommy could swear she was breathing different, and needed to go. Blessedly, Daddy is a very patient man. She just spent her first night here and did...ok...Maggie started with the squirts last night with all the excitement and changes. Tim opted to sleep downstairs so he could hear if she was distressed. Apparently distressed seems to fall under the category of ' I would just like to lay in the starlight and roll in the grass at 2 am'. Daddy is a little sleepy. Mommy took a sleeping pill and slept like the dead.
I think tonight we will put Maggie and Lily together, and let the two little ones have the crate. I am guessing some snuggling may occur. Well, time to haul my lazy behind out of bed and go downstairs so Tim can crawl in to work. Some days, it is GREAT to be me.  |
| Maggie now has a gallery that is just her. I will be updating it as I can...

| I'm so glad to hear you so full of joy! Puppies can really be wonderful for the soul... if not as easy on the sleep schedule! |
| maggie and daddy look sooooooooo happy |
| Maggie is a beauty! More pictures please. |
| She just gets cuter in each photo.
I love her cheeky grin.  |

You may live to regret that request.
I will keep updating her gallery, and I will post pictures here as they get approved.

She is the MELLOWEST puppy I have ever seen. She isn't lethargic, just content. She has had the squirts twice and upchucked some of her breakfast, but she seems to be settling now. She went for a walk with Lily this morning, and has been napping the rest of the morning. She has her eye on my Longaberger basket, but I have been guarding it. 
She goes over next to it with a toy and quietly plays, and then, oops, how did that drawstring from the liner get in my mouth?! Really Mom, it was an ACCIDENT! Grin, twinkle, aren’t I cute?! My husband is going to go nuts because he has long standing plans to go to the races this weekend. He can't cancel. It is KILLING him because I won’t let her go. I want her settling in calmly here. All I know is that I WILL be checking his baggage and trailer before he leaves! Maybe I'll just hold her in my arms as we wave bye bye. That's probably the safest move. |
| oh yes puppies are sneaky you will need eyes in the back of your head!! she is so huggable!! |
| Do y'all think I should keep the name LolasMama, or should I change it to reflect Maggie? It kind of hurts to see it, but I don't want her forgotten either. |
| i would keep it but if it hurts you too much.. only you can decide.. we all know how much you gave to her.. |
| I guess I feel like whether she is here or not, I will always be her mama. So it isn’t creepy to keep it? |
| Too cute!!! Hopefully we will get Sheepiefest of the West going this year so we can see all the new puppies!!!!! |

Ooooohhhhhhhh.....I would LOVE that! |

No, you were and always will be Lola's Mama so its not creepy. But only if you're comfortable keeping it. |
| That's why Melody is in my signature. |
| been using my long gone sheepie's name on internet addresses for years. cheers!!!
|
| I hope that you keep Lola's Mama as your signature. I think that is very sweet and not creepy at all. |
LolasMama wrote: I guess I feel like whether she is here or not, I will always be her mama. So it isn’t creepy to keep it?
You were, and always will be Lola's Mama. Lola brought you to our message board, and even brought you to Maggie. In a way, being her mama has sort of set you on the path of Sheepie Adventure. I don't think its creepie at all; but it IS important that you feel comfortable; its doesn't really matter what we think about it as much as how you feel about it. |
| Ok, after thinking about it, I believe you are all correct. Lola did make me a sheepie lover, and she did bring Maggie to me. It's not like I could forget her if I tried.
Instead of letting it be painful, I will let it make me smile when I see it. Nothing in the world could make me smile like Lola.
On a funny side note, my 22 year old is REALLY enjoying Maggie. When he takes her for a walk, he is like a rock star. All the girls come running over...LOL...  |

My hubby still likes taking Tiggy for a walk and she's just turned two. He is amazed at how many ladies come and talk to him and admire ask about her. They all ask does it take much work to keep her looking like that (full coat). He tells them he's not sure as he just gets to enjoy her not groom her.  |
