"MACY " 

My Princess

20th May 2003-26th December 2006

Where does one start to  try and convey exactly how,what and why  Macy was so  special.

From the moment she was born I knew she would be special, initially I thought she was black and white hence I called her Macy after the great black singer Macy Gray,  but within the first week you could see the  coat was  going to be gold, but   Macy did 3 coat changes and I do believe that she was going to be a silver and white. Many a judge would look at her coat and I'm sure they used to think that I was doing some colouring changes.

Macy was the most affectionate Shih Tzu that you could imagine and everyone was her friend, in the showring she never let me down, she loved showing and  always gave her best throughout her short life.  Macy had the most arrogant carriage, and the most extravagant  characteristic kickback so essential to the correct Shih Tzu  that today is so hard to find. She  mixed it with the best on Mainland Australia  and had many wins to her credit there. I could go  on for ever about this very special princess regarding her head, her body, her substance her bone, her carriage her movement,  the list goes on needless to say I loved her so very much,  and I miss her so very much each and  every day, not only for being  such an outstanding Shih Tzu but first and foremost for being  my most loved pet, companion and bed buddy, she sleeps under my window and I  am still trying  to understand WHY  she was taken so young,  with no rhyme no reason and no explanation. 

 Sometimes life really sucks.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.  I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.  

 I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,   "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

  I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,   You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

   I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

  I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.   

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."

   You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

 It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

   You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew ... in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

   The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning   and say "goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

   And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,  I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

  I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. 

Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.
