Maggie Apples

Maggie is my beloved 2nd-hand Newfie. She loves apples.

We had a Honey Crisp apple tree in the back yard, and she considered it HER tree. She likes to pick her own apples right off the tree. She was also known to push up against the trunk to shake an apple loose. She didn't like wind-fallen apples; She wanted a fresh one. Then she'd lay down for a leisurely chomp.



Last week, the little apple tree blew over in a wind storm. The trunk broke about 3 inches from the ground. It was heavy with apples, and it just toppled over. I finally got the tree cleaned up and removed on Labor Dy. For several days this week, CL reported that Maggie would stand over the broken stump at 10 am, looking directly at him and bark her protest that her apple tree was gone. Yes, she noticed it; Yes, she missed it.

She's a great communicator when she wants to be.
