RIP

From the wee pup he was when we got him to the bouncing, energetic dog he always was-even up to nearly the very end- Max was definitely left footprints on our hearts. He traipsed into Doggy Heaven early this morning laying in bed being comforted my my Mom and one of his favorite people. Max will most definitely be missed and a piece of my heart will always be dedicated to him and the memories I have of him.

And now, for my photo dump of only a few of the pictures.

As a wee one...

He loved to sit on the back of the couch/in the window sill and greet (aka bark at) anyone (four legged or otherwise) who walked by.

Clean cut dog!

Max loved giving kisses!

Max had a few favorite toys...Mr Elephant was one of them. He took Mr Elephant to the kennel, outside, would walk him around the house every night before bed and cry and whine while doing so.

 

 Snow time with Josh!

Costume time at the vet/kennel he would stay at. They miss him. He was a steady "guest" and some of the stories I've heard (even before his death) was that they'd put him in a kennel next to a new or nervous guest because he would sleep right up against the fencing to keep that dog comfortable and calm. He was also the Alpha dog there. When he walked in and barked the other dogs would quiet down.

Look at that face. I love and miss it!

This is the profile picture that is on my cell phone and will stay on my cell phone for when my Mom's home number calls or is called. 

Rest In Peace buddy. I will always love and miss you.
