Mac

It is almost hard to remember life without Mac. We got him almost nine years ago, he was six months at the time. He got out of the yard, New Years Eve and we haven't seen him since.
He has always had an issue with getting out, whether it was here or at our other home, he found a way out. I wondered if there would come a day when he wouldn't come back, and unfortunately despite our best efforts to keep him in, he got out and I don't think he is returning. We don't know his fate, there is just no way of knowing.
My kids are saddened, Sadie our other dog is really sad, her mate of about nine years is gone. I am sad and would have liked this to end differently, but I understand that you don't get that option very often to go out on your own terms, or know when that will be. You just have to make the best memories that you can.
