Hi all,
The Mag Tag has continued to evolve, since its creation last March when Mag was really sick and I thought we were near the end, to now when it hangs in my bedroom to remind me to ‘Be More Dog ’.
I painted it on the set of ‘Rent’, a show that I was helping to build. You can read the original post here for the back story. After the show ended my buddy cut it out when they were striking the set and saved it for me. I got a picture of Mag with it, which is the picture you see in the header here at Tripawds.com. And now I have it mounted along with a few things that bring good memories.
There are more pictures, and more of the story in Maggie’s Blog.

I read your other forum and your blog post about the Mag Tag. Seems like a good artistic way to me to keep the memory of Maggie around!!
-Chloe's mom
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Memories of Maggie to bring smiles to your heart.
Debra & Angel Emily
Debra & Emily, a five year old doberman mix, who was diagnosed with an osteosaecoma. She had a right rear leg amputation on May 19, 2009. On November 10, 2009 she earned her wings and regained her fourth leg.
That is just so special! You'll wake up and see your Mag!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
How very special, and how wonderful of your friend to make sure you got the Mag Tag!
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.
How can your heart not melt whenever you look at the tag and remember Mags? We love it.

So beautiful indeed. Must warm your heart when you look at it everyday. Maggie sure was one very special pug.
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
