Maggie and Honey

In July 2010, we rescued Maggie and Honey from a shelter in Anderson, SC after losing Yargo to cancer. Knowing we could give them the great life Yargo had, filled the void we were left with.

Maggie, a Border Collie/Pointer mix, was 14 months old. She was abused by her prior owners, only weighed 17 pounds, and her hair was matted up, full of her waste. She was in the shelter for two months waiting to be adopted. She is a very sweet girl, looking for constant attention. It took her a very long time to trust us and know we were not going to hurt her.

Honey, a Yellow Lab/? mix, was 3 months old. She weighed 12 pounds and was in the shelter for less than a week. Unfortunately, when she was 9 months old we found out she had hip dysplasia. We took her to the Veterinary Hospital at the University of Georgia for a consultation, and they advised no surgery at this point. The goal is to keep her weight down, exercise her, and give her supplements to strengthen her joints and cartilage. We've had to put rugs down in our tiled area as she's petrified of losing her footing and falling down. She has a great personality despite her handicap.

Story Behind Their Names

Maggie already was named when we rescued her from the shelter and they strongly advised against changing it. We had to come up with a name for our little yellow lab and were looking for a name that would have a story behind it.

After much discussion, and input from our grandchildren, we decided to name her Honey, in honor of my paternal grandparents.

Here is the story. When my children were young, they called my grandfather "GG" (short for Great-Grandpa) and called my grandmother "Honey", since that is the name they heard my grandfather call her.

Since MaGGie has "GG" in her name, we named our new lab Honey, remembering my two grandparents together again.
