Maggie Friedman
It's A Dog's Life, LLC is deeply saddened by the loss of Maggie Friedman. She was a vibrant and wonderful part of our extended family and she will be missed. I remember when Maggie was just a pup, racing around the table at her first Thanksgiving dinner. We couldn't get enough of this precious bulldog! She grew up to be a patient dog and was wonderful with children and animals alike. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Friedman family and all those that loved her...

Shana Tova from It's A Dog's Life
It's Erev Rosh HaShanah, and services are about to begin. The synagogue is packed. As the congregants are milling around, shmoozing before services, everyone seems to be distracted by a man who has brought with him his beloved dog.
"What chutzpah! an elderly woman whispers aloud. Services begin, and everyone is fascinated by how well the dog behaves. The next morning, the man and his dog arrive early and promptly begin dovening. This time, the dog is wearing its own little tallis and yarmulke , and even appears, upon closer inspection, to be shuckling back and forth as the hazzan intones the prayers. The congregation is amazed.
The week goes by and Kol Nidre arrives. The solemn worship service begins. The man and his dog are back, and this time, just as the hazzan is about to begin the prayers, the dog stands up on its hind legs and howls "Ba-ROOOOOOOCH....! more melodically than the best hazzan. After the service, everyone is clamoring to meet this man and his remarkable dog.
Finally the rabbi comes up to him and says, "That's one talented pooch you have there. You know, you should really consider sending your dog to Rabbinical school."
The man looks down, shakes his head, throws up his hands in disgust and says, "YOU TALK TO HIM! He wants to be a doctor!"
Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year!
