With what’s left of our shredded hearts we post the news that our beloved Macleod crossed the bridge today at 12:35 pm.
There can and will be only one… Macleod. Here he was unique in every way, majestic and proud yet kind and loving. On the other side he’s sure to win the hearts of all who have the joy of meeting him. He runs, pain free again now, with Mya his best friend for the past 9 years. He put up a great fight , he rarely cried, and never lost his will to go on. He always wanted to go farther than we could let him. In the last few weeks we could see that the pain was catching up to him, he kept it quiet but we could begin to see in his face that he was hurting. Not wanting to see him go through this any longer and before a tragedy, like a fall in the middle of the night we made the mercy call. Our amazing and compassionate Veterinarian Dr. Judith Siegert and her assistant Wendy, came to the house today to send Macleod on his way. His last moments were calm and relaxed as all that pain drained away from his body. We spent the day chilling under the walnut tree eating BBQ steak and cookies & ice-cream. The sun was out and there was a nice breeze. Macleod didn’t ever really make a lot of noise but it sure seemed quiet around here this afternoon. We will miss you “Big Rig”
Rivers of tears and two broken hearts…………..
We lost our gentle giant
August the first day
Who fought a battle hard and strong
To have made it to this day
His kind and gentle temperament
Made you love him all that more
There could be no better feeling
Than him to meet you at the door
His crazy funny antics
As he ran around the place
He could actually say “I love you”
To put a smile upon your face
Handsome, kind and caring
That is just to name a few
The joy you brought to Dad and I
We hope we gave back to you
Your love just went forever
You left your paw print on our hearts
The deep bond we shared together
Means we will never ever part
Our garden once so beautiful
Feels like an empty space
The colours all have faded
Never being the same place
You are reunited now with “Mya”
We see the smile back on your face
The only joy we feel right now
Is your together at this place
But don’t forget the promise
That we made to both of you
We soon will be together
Hugging the both of you
So always check the gate our loves
And watch for Dad and I
As were climbing to the heavens
To wipe the tears upon your eyes……..
We shall love you both forever!!!!!!!
Gone too soon…………
Mom and Dad xxxxooooo
Is that the barbeque???
Yes it is !!
NumNumNumNum…
and ice-cream for dessert…and is that a peanut butter cookie?
Together forever…
We will always miss you, until we meet again.
