Nashville, TN
Maghee came into my life 12 years ago “straight from his mama,” as I usually say. He was so tiny he fit in just the palm of my hand. We’ve been through a lot together - including 3 cross-country moves to 3 different states. Now we live in an apartment in East Nashville where Maghee likes to think he keeps guard of the whole building. You can find Maghee in our apartment sleeping on his big plush bed, the couch, or taking up at least 2/3 of the queen sized bed in the bedroom. If there’s a blanket anywhere, he’s under it. He’s such a snuggler. He loves going for walks around the neighborhood and going off-leash at the dog park so he can make all the friends. He’s never met another dog he didn’t immediately make his friend. To have Maghee healthy again would mean everything. Without surgery the prognosis isn’t good- we don’t know if he would walk again and he’d be in constant pain. I need my navigator, my partner in crime, my sweet snuggler, or “the monster” as he’s referred to around here. Maghee was checked into Nashville Veterinary Specialists with Dr Cason where he was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his neck. Less than 36 hours from presenting with any pain he lost his ability to walk. He needs surgery to fix his neck so he can walk again. And hopefully run and play and chase lizards and beg for bananas. Maghee’s favorite toys are the ones he has already chewed the squeaker out of. After they’re empty he’ll sit and groom them, holding them between his front paws. His favorite food is bananas. You can forget about eating one alone. He loves chasing tiny lizards that come out in Summer, but he never catches one. I’m not sure he’d know what to do if he did. I’m sure he’d just want to be friends.
