2002 - 2019

It’s been now 6 weeks since you left us. As I write this, I still have your blanket at my feet where you laid for hours as I worked my way through the day. I often catch myself now, looking down subconsciously making sure you are alright. But I know you are not there.
We walk around every corner of this empty house and have so many memories of you. Everywhere. Always, a funny story to tell. You celebrated all our biggest moments and helped us through those sad ones. We always looked forward to you waiting at the door when we had to go away. We so looked forward to seeing that tail wagging and jumping on us when we arrived. …, Oh how we miss that. You could just make a bad day seem so unimportant. We still take your collar to bed with us like I had done for so many years of placing you our bed to close out another day. It was such a great way to end our day. I still look at the floor by the bed for water spots to clean up as you get your last drink of the night. God, only knows how we miss you. You were our best friend. So easy to love. So, we struggle each day to get through this loss. But we know you are in a better place now. No pain, and running and jumping like the old days after my favorite golf balls that you are mischievously chewing up. Your eating your favorite foods again and wanting them so, so badly. Yes, I know, those carrot muffins I use to sneak you when I knew no one was looking. Mackenzie. We love you. We miss you. You will always live in our hearts. You represented to us what is the best of this world. You were family!!!
