Laurie, I’m so very sorry. Your pictures show such an obviously loved and happy dog. She had a good life.
I wish I could hug my CAT and my horse and my kids and my surviving dog and heck, maybe even the cat I don’t like. I am at the beach nine hours from home. We were all supposed to go together but my youngest daughter wanted to stay home so she could celebrate her one year anniversary with her boyfriend. Cue the rolling eyes. Then my oldest daughter announced she wasn’t going either because yesterday was her birthday and her boyfriend couldn’t get the week off work so she didn’t want to celebrate her birthday without him. More rolling eyes I must admit.
By this point I didn’t even really want to go since our friends had to bail out too. We went from 9 people to 2. Fun family vacation, not. But I took my pouty little self all the way down to this beautiful, free beach house that our friends graciously shared with us yet again determined to make the best of it with hubby.
Then this happened and I was so thankful that my daughters were there together with Macy and she wasn’t at home with my friend who would have been forced to do the deed or worse yet at a kennel. I will try to keep that in mind the next time I am disappointed when plans don’t work out the way I envisioned.
Aw man…so sorry 
She clearly had a family that cared about her so very much. Don’t regret anything, you gave her a great life and a dignified end.
Yikes ! OK then perhaps start drinking Heavily ?! NO NO ! Forget that !
[I]glad the girls were home with dear Macy ~
perhaps you should consider drinking heavily this evening ~
( just a weak attempt at humor as a diversion for you )
perhaps forget that drinking bit as booze is a depressant and you are already ‘there’ I imagine ~
Feel better soon ```
again I’m sorry for your loss ~[/I]

Godspeed Macy, the best Pom that ever lived.[/QUOTE]
I’m so very sorry, Laurie.
Oh, I’m so very, very sorry Laurie. Sending all of you hugs…
I am still at the beach so it has been pretty easy to put her loss out of my mind. I know it will be different when I am home and she isn’t there. My husband almost always gets up before me so I would wake up more often than not to Macy asleep wih her head on his pillow. That is going to be hard.
Macy came following the loss of my heart dog. We got her about three months after he died and I still wasn’t ready and had a hard time bonding with her at first because of that. I don’t know if it is because I am still not home yet but I feel like I could get another dog right this minute if it were the right one for me. I guess I will see how I feel when I get home. It is going to be a madhouse as I am booked to capacity for the next two weeks so there will be no lack of dogs to keep my mind occupied.
Oh I am SO sorry, I just saw this. Hugs to you.
^^ that is perfect, Laurie.
Spend my first night in my own bed since Macy passed. She always came in the bathroom with me even if it was in the middle of the night, I guess she figured I was just sitting there so I might as well pet her. My husband almost always gets up before me so I would wake up every morning to her head on his pillow. Neither of those things are going to happen anymore but I did wake up to SIX dogs including my one surviving dog staring at me wanting their breakfast. They are putting on quite a show running around the backyard so they are keeping me entertained. I still need to go cry on my horse’s shoulder this morning though. Then the healing can begin.
So very sad to hear about your loss as you are one of the most helpful and consoling fellow members here on COTH. I’m always in awe of the wonderful helpful advice you give to others.
Now is the time to lick your own wounds and pamper yourself.
You’re a great COTH member!
Thank you Marla. It may be too soon, but we are going to look at a puppy this afternoon. It is hard to cry with a puppy licking your face! I told the owner that we just lost our dog and may get there and start bawling so they are prepared for our arrival.
We got a puppy today. I wasn’t quite as ready as I thought I was but my daughter’s smiled for the first time since I got home from the beach.
oh congratulations. I can see the smile on Macy’s face too. Come on, spill the beans… pictures…
We know Macy will never be replaced… she will always be in your heart!
Awwwww, I love this tribute!
