From her melting expression to the tip of her otter tail - Maddie made me laugh everyday. Faster than a speeding bullet - by far the best dock diver, master of the swim ladder and Captain of the swim team - Maddie was made for speed. A great girl with a huge personality - she was all about the FUN!!
In 2018 Maddie joined our dear friends “The Foys”. Here is their tribute to Maddie.
“Today, our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye to our beloved Maddie , aka Made of Honour, Mads, Moo Cow, Maddison….who at the age of 13 1/2, crossed the rainbow bridge after 7 1/2 wonderful years by our side.
Entrusted to us by our friends Simon and Trish, at six years old, Maddie quickly became an indispensable part of our family, and truly the best girl we could have ever asked for.
Maddie was pure, unadulterated joy in canine form. She didn’t just wag her tail; she wagged her whole body, a magnificent, golden blur of happiness that instantly brightened any room. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her spirt radiate warmth and unconditional love to everyone she met.
One of Maddie’s most endearing quirks was her welcoming committee ritual; she always had to greet you at the door with a shoe. It didn’t matter who’s shoe, or what kind, just that she presented it with a gentle nudge and that characteristic full-body wag, as if to say “Welcome! I brought you a gift!”
She also loved to spread her “Maddie glitter” (unstoppable and copious amounts of fur) everywhere she went. I used to tease that we should buy stock in sticky rollers….
It was these little traditions, unique to Maddie, that filled our lives with so much laughter and love (and glitter).
Maddie was more than just a pet; she was a family member, a loyal companion, and a source of constant comfort and delight. Her gentle nature, boundless energy, and the way she exuded happiness in every moment will be deeply missed.
While our home feels a little emptier today, it is forever filled with the beautiful memories of our sweet yellow lab.
Thank you, Maddie, for 7 1/2 years of pure, unadulterated joy. You were truly the best, and your memory and foot prints will live on in our hearts forever.
Sleep well my Maddie Moo Cow. We love you!”
