Gone Too Soon

 Mackie's mom wrote on Sunday to let me know that Mackie had passed away on Saturday.  It came as a shock as I wasn't expecting this news.   Molly and Mackie lived together for almost a year before Geo and I split so I watched Mackie grow up from a small wee pup to just a week or so before his first birthday.  

Sweet potato fries and a stink eye from Molly~

TheAirekids got along okay living together.    

We had visits from Mackie often when we lived in our apartment with the fenced in yard.

They actually got along better than before as Molly truly loved being an only furChild.

When we moved from the apartment to where we live now, I continued to groom Mackie so we could keep in touch.    He was such a SuperSweet and lovable boy♥

Mackie's very favorite toys since I have known him were his Furballz~  

He never chewed them.  He suckled on them and I always suspected it was because he came to us at 6 weeks old, which is way too young for a puppy to leave his mom.  

Mackie's mom also let me know that Mackie's brother, Jett, passed away only a few days before Mackie did.  I knew that Jett had lymphoma and that his days were numbered but I didn't know until Saturday that Mackie had brain cancer.  The news was just devastating.  

I don't have photos of Jett as Molly and I only lived with him for a week or so before we moved.

Missy sent me this photo of her dad and Jett warming themselves by the fire.  Geo told me more than once that anyone who met Jett, loved him from the start.  

My heart goes out to Mackie and Jett's mom.   Her life went from having two wonderful dogs, who she loved dearly, to having none in such a short period of time.   I can't even imagine the pain she's in.  

Sadly, Mackie and Jett were only eight years old - both gone way too soon.  

I know how hard it is to lose your precious pup and you lost two of them so close together.  Life can be so unfair.   Huge hugs to you, Kim♥

Love,

Sue
