Around the Town: Remembering Maggie
By Loretta Humble/Around the Town
I’ve been telling you about joint care supplement for dogs for years, starting with Barney, the little white dog you can see featured in two murals downtown. I had nothing to do with this; he just somehow got next to two different artists to the extent they just painted him in. Carl and I picked him out at the pound to be a nursing home dog, but he had other ideas. He knew from the beginning he was supposed to go home with us, and wouldn’t have it any other way. We shared joint custody of Barney for 17 years. For most of those years he went to work with me every day, where he snoozed under my desk, only to come out to try to terrorize the mailman. He is buried in Carl’s front yard under a tombstone with his name written in stained glass.
