Charlee lost her BFF today. “Mac” (short for Mactavish Dundee), her West Highland Terrier cousin, passed away after a 2-year battle with cancer. Charlee had known him her whole life. They are pictured together here (Charlee at left; Mac at right) on May 17, 2013, celebrating Mac’s 13th birthday with “chew toys,” i.e., chicken-covered rawhides from Trader Joe’s. (It’s like when we humans meet at Starbucks to share double-tall caramel macchiatos with brownies.) Rest in peace, Mackie. We will miss you, Sweet Boy!
