Our Macy Girl

The last few weeks have been pretty hard on P and I. A little while ago, we noticed that our Macy was acting strange and one night was not really responsive. Peyton and I said a prayer over her and had a long talk about Heaven, honestly thinking Macy may not make it through the night. Well, Macy perked up the next day and I was able to take her to the Vet. There, Macy was diagnosed with Epilepsy and was given medicine to help counter act the seizures she was having. We gave her the medicine and over 2 weeks started seeing some improvement. On Sunday, September 6th, Macy must have had a major seizure while we were out at church and did not recover. She had passed during the short time we were out of the house. I'm thankful that Macy left without having to witness her in any kind of distress and she took the decision I had been fighting with on how long we should seek treatment from me. 

Finding her gone was hard for me, she was always a loyal and loving dog. She was my rock when everything was falling apart in my marriage and comforted me the whole time. I was very worried about how Peyton would handle it, given that she's never known a life where Macy wasn't around. Peyton referred to Macy as her sister, and she was just that, Macy was my baby before Peyton made me a Mom. Peyton had a lot of questions and has had a hard time adjusting to her not being around. But she is resilient and her blind acceptance of faith is truly astonishing to see. She knows Macy is in a better place and that God healed her in Heaven. We buried her in my Mom's backyard so we can still go visit her.

Every morning since her passing, Peyton has woken up and described a dream she's had running and playing with Macy in Heaven. Last week we had a huge moon and Peyton said that Macy was probably playing with the moon like she did her ball. Her prayers still include God taking care of Macy and I've heard her whispering around the house and when I question what she is saying, she just responds "talking to God". I love that she has a personal relationship with Him and knows that Macy is happy in Heaven. 

We'll miss you Macy!
