Sending my sweet boy to the Bridge tomorrow
Mac, my Scottie, has not been feeling well--off appetite and vomiting. Yesterday evening, we found out he has a "substantial mass" in his liver. He is at the hospital with my vet, but I can bring him home this afternoon so he can spend his last night at home, in his bed, with his family. My heart is breaking, but I know I am doing the right thing for Mac. He has been the best and most loyal friend I could ask for over the last 14 years. He deserves to go in peace. His new journey begins tomorrow morning around 9.
I've asked health questions about him here in the past few years. I feel that many of you are friends. Please say a prayer for Mac that he will have a peaceful and gentle passing. I've asked Tipper to meet him and help him get adjusted. I know he won't be alone. A piece of me is dying too. I guess it has to so he can take a piece of my heart with him. Godspeed Puppy Mac. -Sandra |

What a tough decision you had to make, letting your friend cross over the bridge. There Mac will be greeted by Tipper and all of the others that have passed over before him. pbp

I'm so sorry to hear about this. You are doing the right thing by not letting his suffer anymore. He won’t be alone and will play happily with Tipper.

Godspeed Mac, your family loves you so much they will give you gentle travel over the bridge. ScottieDog bless you for being selfless enough to know this is the best decision for Mac. We owe it to our beloved pets to spare them the pain and take that on ourselves. Bless you and Bless Mac on his journey. He will not be alone or unloved at the bridge. RIP sweet boy.

ScottieDog..... I too am sorry to hear about this difficult time for you. Just today on another board I belong to, a member had lost her Berner, and another member wrote to her and said: "Don't cry because he is gone. Smile because he was here." I thought they were beautiful words. Take care.

ScottieDog, I wish I could hug you and say something that would ease your pain. It's the hardest thing to do, but also the most loving and selfless. Take care, and when you're ready, please come back to tell us some Mac-stories.
Farewell, dear Mac. May your transition be peaceful and your journey carry you on a cloud of love.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. Mac passed peacefully and gently a little before 9:30 this morning. My heart hurts, but I am at peace knowing we did the best we could for our little guy. He runs free in the world without leashes.
He will always have a special place in my heart. Mac was my first dog and he is the reason I have a passion for dogs. He was a gentle, empathetic and kind boy. He came into our lives at 15 weeks. He left just shy of 14 1/2 years old. He had a happy life and was loved with all our hearts. He will always be my Puppy Mac. Godspeed sweet Puppy Mac Sandra |
