Goodbye To The Macallan......




It seems somehow that this winter and it's storms and sub zero temperatures will never end....or maybe it's just that both Sonja and I have been struggling with winter colds of late (hers turning into Bronchitis on the way to getting better, mine more recent and apparently still undecided as to what mayhem it might cause). Or more likely, it's just the obvious.....

On January 25th, we finally had to euthanize our beloved companion of more than 10 years, Mac, and it is in truth still difficult to talk about. As he first adopted us in 1999,in Montgomery, finding Sonja in a parking lot and never looking back, we never really were sure of his actual age. It must have been close to 16 or 17 from what we could tell, and certainly in the last month of his life his systems seemed to all be slowly failing him. We knew his time was coming, though there is never really any genuine preparing for the loss. He was the heart of our little "pack". He will be forever missed and remembered. Macky.....R.I.P.
