Aw, that is sad. My first cat was named Maggie for Maggie the Cat and like any good Tennessee Williams character she often chased illusions. I was shocked to learn that Maggie is one of the most common dog names. That just seems wrong. But, I’m now the proud stepmom of a dog named Maggie who is adapting to a life amid cats, although she was spared the confusion of living with a cat by the same name when my Maggie passed on at the ripe old age of 17.

We do not…yet! When we got Stella about five years ago, I had no say in naming her as the Mrs. deemed than any female dog we adopted would be named Stella. Then the other goofball came along a few months later and there was no way I was going to allow him to be named anything other than Stanley!

After that, we started telling folks that all we needed was an aging golden retriever named Blanche to complete the family. We don’t do that any anymore because, although some people get it, most just look at us stupidly and say “huh?”. And that just makes me sad.

Y’all wouldn’t by any chance have a cat named Maggie or Blanche?

This is great news. For the pup, her owner AND me. Mrs J_T saw the photo and said “if I found her, I wouldn’t even try to find her owner!” I’m not sure if she was joking.
