On thursday I had to have my dear Mac put to sleep. I miss him dreadfully. Wehad been together for 16 years and I am so priveleged to have known him and be allowed to look after him. Mac, in the words of my vet, was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. We had such a fantastic time together - cross country was his favorite but he obliged and did dressage for me too. One of our high points was coming individual 1st at the riding club nationals. Such a proud moment, and I will never forget it. Most importantly though he was my soulmate, I loved him so much, words can not describe it.
His last years he started to suffer from arthritis, which we controlled with my vet in order to make him as comfortable as possible. He spent it happily with his two girls: two arab mares, one the mother of the other whom he knew from birth and helped wean. They were utterly devoted to eachother. Last week it became too much. Mac suffered from an infection in his good hindleg and had to pressurize his bad leg too much. My vet and I decided he should not suffer. Making that decision was the hardest, most devastating thing I have ever had to do. Thank god - his last day he was happily grazing with me holding him, in relative comfort due to the pain killers we could give him. His girls watched him from their stables. It was glorious sunshine and he looked so beautiful. My vet Conor I can not thank enough. He made Mac's end as peaceful and gentle as humanly possible, and I know how difficult it was for him to do this. He nonetheless gave me and my partner the strength to be with Mac right till the end and I am so grateful for this. I know in my heart he went gently, and was surrounded and cuddled by people who loved him.
The pain of losing him is just so horrific, but it would not be right any other way.if that makes sense. I was so lucky to have had him. I just miss him so dreadfully already.
Please rest in peace my angel. Thank you for everything you did for me.
