westiemum Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 ESP Boronia! Earlier this afternoon I wheeled out the Macmobile and put it in the kitchen so he could be part of the action while I cooked!! And he'll go to the park in it tomorrow. He's back in it after having dinner and looks like king of the castle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 The hardest decisions are usually the right ones... and they are made with love and utter respect for our little friends. My heart hurts for you WM... spoil that little man completely rotten for the next few days, OK? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal House Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 ESP Boronia!

He's back in it after having dinner and looks like king of the castle! Kind of the castle in his Macmobile, supervising your cooking. Love it!

westiemum Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Yeah he does look pretty cool in his Macmobile - I'll have to get some photos. Can I ask for some advice? I also want to do what's best for Sarah and Andy on Friday. Do people think it's better for them to be present on the laps of friends or taken for a walk and brought back for a sniff of Mac after its all over? I can see advantages both ways but am leaning towards the take them for a walk option? What do people think/ advise?

Animal House Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I think that taking them for a walk, or even just a play outside and then bringing them back in. For me anyway, that's what I'd do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Westiemum - not sure about the Sarah and Andy bit. When Ness passed it was just me at home sitting with her. I sat with Ness and obviously Kenz was around the place but she kind of avoided coming to close. When Ness had finally died Kenz was pretty actively avoiding her body but otherwise it was situation as normal at home. I remember tossing countless frisbees while waiting for Ness's body to be collected. Hard to know what to suggest. Not sure what your intending on doing with Mac's body but I found these guys were awesome to deal with. Really caring and nothing was to much trouble - https://www.adelaidepetcremations.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks Caz and ness - yes I'll mull the Sarah and Andy management issue over the next few days - its interesting - the opinion both on and off DOL at the moment is pretty evenly split both ways - I'll see... And ness thank you for the cremation info - yes he'll be cremated and come back to my mantle piece where I can continue to talk to him! I'll organise the cremation people after I confirm the vet tomorrow. Gee this all seems very clinical and matter-of-fact - but i supposed many ways it is...

Loving my Oldies Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 What do people think/ advise? It is so worrying, isn’t it . You know your dogs (as well as anyone of us can know another being); try not to overthink it, talk to your wonderful mum. Sarah and Andy have each other and will probably cope better than if there was only one. I know we are all different, but I have preferred to be on my own when my dogs have crossed the bridge. However, most of the time, there hasn’t been a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Mel was really nice to deal with and even me fussing about a small crack in Ness's box it wasn't to much trouble for her to take time to come and swap the box so I would be perfectly happy. Can you have people there for Andy and Sarah and see how things pan out on Friday. Let the dogs decide and just go with the flow. I agree it does sound a little bit clinical but at least everything is in order and your in the place to make the right decision. Give him a last maccas ice cream cone from me and in honour of Ness monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Yes he'll get all his favourite things - ice-cream, blue cheese and he'll have a bone this afternoon - the way to Maccles heart has always been through his stomach!

westiemum Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 An old friend who is an ex-RAAF Doggie said to not have Sarah and Andy around when Mac goes to God. I think thats good credible advice which I'll take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coogie Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I have just seen your update Westiemum. I am so sorry, you are very brave and he is so blessed to be with you. I will light a candle on Friday and hope you have a great week with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Sorry that the end is here. Don't let the other dogs sniff Mac after he has passed. The chemicals used could hurt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 You've done an awesome job keeping Mac happy and comfortable for way longer than you thought initially, and although it's really sad to have reached the end of the road, hopefully your plans will work out so you all can take care of him till the end. WIll be a hard week, though. DOL thoughts are with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
