I have the last milk-bones we took on your ride to the vet in the car, as a reminder of you. I feel like i have you close to me.

I don't even say your name at home bc sissy repeats everything I say and it breaks my heart when she looks for you. I know I still do.

Macey was brought into our life when she was 8 years old. She had a crazy past we know little about; among some things: she may have been ran over, as well as gotten into dog fights.
But she was a tough one. If you didn't meet her when we adopted her, well, she had muscles in her muscles.
The first time i took her on a walk when i met her, she dragged thru the sidewalk like it was nothing. Crazy little muscle mommy.

She was an escape artist. Managed to escape multiple times, pretending to be just a curious old dog that couldn't even make it to the door, but then, she would bolt through the door and leave only dust behind. Me yelling her name at the top of my lungs was the least of her worries when she needed to go pee in the neighbors across the street yard.

Macey was very silly, she would get railed up so easily; all i had to do was point at her. She knew how to sit, talk, spin, jump and lay down, although sometimes when it was time to show off and get rewarded with a treat, she would pull out the entire repertoire of tricks she knew, she was a sucker for treats fr.

Macey hated other dogs when she was in her adulthood, she couldn't stand them and was quite aggressive with a few of them. When we wanted to get her a sibling, i think we had like 3 different meetings and she HATED them all.
Until Thorin got in our lives! Macey clicked with Thorin kind of in a maternal way. He was about 4 months old and Macey was 9 at that point, and still she would play around with him. And one point, we were very concerned about her getting "stab" looking wounds in her neck. Turns out, Thorin loved chewing on her neck with his needle puppy teeth and Macey was just fine with it.
He will miss her very much. As well as her human sister. Although she might be too little to understand, she wanted to find you today.
She learned your name before you left.

You were there for me when nobody else was. You made me who I am, the dog mom I am, the dog advocate.
I did some college in Vet Tech because of you, you just made me love dogs even more.
Today was one of the worst days of my life. But i will always remember you with your tail pointing up while trotting when we went on walks, you would get so excited and your real personality shun through. That's who you are. That's who you were.

I hope you're running wild in the grass, laying in the sun and are eating so many treats. I love you for ever.
