Joanna Going Instagram – Yesterday our sweet soulful beautiful crazy Maisie left this world, at home in my arms, gobbling chocolate kisses from my hand —true to herself to the end.
She was a fiercely barking watchdog against anyone outside the window, but always ebulliently thrilled to see any person who walked through the door.
She loved paper: paper towels, toilet paper, cardboard, books, magazines, instruction pamphlets, mail, something she found in somebody’s bag they left on the floor. Shredding it, eating it, leaving a trail of it all over the house and yard.
She loved being chased and chasing balls. But never figured out to bring the ball back.
She loved a good tug-of-war,
and ripping her stuffed toys apart.
She loved FOOD AND TREATS AND FOOD AND TREATS AND FOOD AND TREATS. The girl could and would eat anything and would never stop trying to eat everything.
She loved the camera and the camera loved her.
She lived with two cancers in the last two and a half years, and still followed me room to room, everywhere I went, even when she could hardly pull herself up to wobbly walk.
She was loyal. She was a comfort to me through tumultuous times. She made us laugh a lot.
She loved us. And we loved her.
Always.
I am thinking of her somewhere beautiful, lounging with her sister Ruth, her husband Stitch, and her boyfriend Slicky, enjoying an endless buffet of all of the paper products she desires.
Rest in Peace, Maisie, my love.
