Nickname: Macy Mo,Macy MO MO,Beauty Queen,Baby giirl,Sweet P

First of all I had NO idea of all the wonderful websites out there to help people grieve and get thru(if there is such a thing)the loss of their beloved 4-legged children and the ones that don't have 4-legs,etc.Thanks for having SUCH an AWESOME site!!! On Mar.1,2010 at 2:15 am,when she went to Heaven a part of me and my husband went with her! She was and will always be the best dog/4legged daughter in the world!! She gave us SUCH joy and was SO smart and just adored to be loved! Let me tell you..we gave her the best that we could and we would do without anything if need be! She and our Kitty are our children. My husband and I may not be able to have "human" children b/c I was diagnosed with Breast cancer at the age of 30 on Aug.21,2007. I had all of my chemo treatments and than had to do 35 radiations..during that time she and I(just b/c I was trying to break it up..that I got bitten)was attacked by a pit bull on mother's day. God was on her side and mine b/c my husband had to shoot the dog to make it let go of our baby. We had to take her to an Animal ER and they said that was the best outcome of a pit bull attack that they had ever seen. OHHH that was a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience!! She and I both recovered from that and it made us EXTRA careful going for walks and stuff!! I was actually scared for sometime to go outside!

I started having alot of pain around the Holidays in 2008 and was put thru many tests. I had a spot to "light" up in my PET/CT scan and Bone scans. The area where it was located was a very dangerous place to do a fine needle biopsy on me so my doctors sent us to the best who does fine needle biopsies,at the Mayo Clinic. We were scheduled to go out the the first of January but it was snowy and icy so I had it rescheduled. I wanted us to drive b/c I didn't want to fly in all that mess and so we did............very VERY LOOONG drive from TN-MN!!
Anyway they put me thru the mill and was able to do a fine needle biopsy on me without collapsing my lung or puncturing the major blood vessels you have in your chest. We drove ande left out on Valentine's day and got back home on the 15th and the 16th we recieved the news and I started my treatments that week and was suppose to have 2 more radiations and be done last week but that's when our world has just stopped!! Macy was in WONDERFUL health all of her life and I took her to the vet every year to get her yeary shots and our vets would always say."If every animal came in like this it would make their job ALOT EASIER!! So as I was saying that our Macy and Kitty are our pride and joys! Around the Holidays..just these past...Macy started acting like she wasn't feeling too good so we took her to the vet and it was b/c of her heart. We went to the UT vet. Hospital and saw a specialist for Macy's heart. They ran an EKG on her and the diagnosis wasn't good. HOWEVER,I think I just didn't want to hear it or believe it bc Chuck had to take Macy for a follow up from her appt. at our vets from her tests that she had done at UT. I called Chuck on the way home to see what was said and he wasn't making much since and I said that I wanted to stop by and talk to our vet anyway. Alisa and Phlip,our vets,are really good people and they are not in it for the money. They especially appreciate their clients who take such good care of there animal companions since there are SO many sick people in this world!! When Alisa was trying to explain to me about Macy's heart,she lost it bc she knew that I would completly fall apart..as I did!! However,and it was in God's Planning that we were able to afford her meds and everything she needed so she wouldn't suffer and I am SO thankful for that b/c as I have said that I have been out of work since Aug,2007 fighting breast cancer twice and than my husband got fired on Aug.2009,after being employed there for 12 years b/c he chose to help take care of his sick wife who was fighting for her life!! So,the meds were almost $400 a month but we didn't and will NEVER care to help our babies! She was doing awesome and I would bring her in to let Alisa listen to her heart and she was so amazed at how good her heart sound!
. The meds seemed to be helping her good and I REALLY thought she was going to be okay!! I prayed and prayed for the Lord to PLEASE not take her..at least for us to be able to spend one more Christmas with her b/c that and her bday was her FAVORITE days ever! And He did!! In Feb. she wasn't wanting her wet food(something was defiently wrong!) so my husband and I would disolve the meds in Chicken broth and than Chuck would have to put it in a syringe to get her to swallow it and I just thought that Macy was going to live forever and ever...even though I knew the heart disease she had wouldn't ever get better. The meds just helped her to feel better.

BUT Honestly,you can combine my 2 diagnosis of breast cancer together and it's nothing compared to this!! I NEVER knew I could hurt this bad and everywhere there is Macy..she rode down the river in our canoe,she drove with us on our 4-wheeler and she LOOOVED to go places!! As long as she was with us she was SO happy!! My husband and I took her everywhere with us and I never realized just how much she was involved in my days until I don't have those brown eyes following me everywhere and just being her BEAUTIFUL self!!
I got a couple of books a few weeks ago from Amazon and working on her memorial,ALWAYS!! When I leave I put on,what I like to call my Macy necklace and bracelet. I ordered me and Chuck a Cremains necklace and some of her ashes are in it so she is always with us!! And another very CUTE thing is I never noticed how much Kitty learned from Macy. Kitty was dropped off by some heartless demons and she adopted us the moment I saw her and whe was around 2 when I took her to the vet back in Sept.2006. Now that Macy is not here physically than it cracks us UP at Kitty doing SOOOO much stuff that Macy did. Like,Macy had to smell everything when I came thru the door. Kitty is only 9 lbs so I have to set them down and let her look thru the bags..ha!! Macy and Kitty always gets something when I have to do my big shopping so Kitty will be on it!! Another thing..is this game that we would do with Macy. We would take off running and hide somewhere in the house and Macy would wait a couple of seconds and than put her nose down on the ground and when she found us than she would take off running and we would have to chase her! Well,Kitty LOOOVES to play that game and we could do it forever but I tire SO easy still but it's just SO precious!! So she has been alot of help!! Speaking of help,I made an appt. to see my regular dr yesterday about referriin me for some therapy. I have been really strong thru everything but the day that Macy went to Heaven..that's what has broke me. I cry and cry and cry and all I want to do is sleep and than for example this morning I am up and have slept about 6 hours in the last 3 days, So the way I look at it is...I will go in there with a positive attitude that it will help me and if not than at least I know!!
I just wish I could have took her for one last ride,walk,camping trip ya know?!
Well,I appreciate your time and Whoever is reading this;.thanks for taking time out of your day and if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE let us now!! How can we go on without our Macy????????
P.S. We decided at the last minute to have her cremated in case we decide to go around the world and just me,Chuck,Kitty and Macy's spirit!! God bless!!
P.S.S. I just edited a few things and tried to go over my spelling and add some stuff. I was a bit out of my head..and still am but I just wanted to make sure my baby's stuff made since. I am sick....literally.
Just PLEASE pray that my cancer is gone and that I won't have to go thru anymore treatments. God bless each of you,your advice and everything..it means alot!!
