My MAXOWAXO Always In My HEART

by Manny P.
(N.Y.C.)

Our beautiful Max passed away on 8-7-12. He was the center and sunshine of our lives. He was 14 years old. We miss him so much; we have a hole in our hearts. The pain is terrible. He was so energetic, so caring. I miss him kissing me in the morning by licking my face that's how they kiss you and say they love you.

When I come back from work I will get the same reception. He was very smart. We got our little guy when he was one month old. My Max developed an enlarged heart and decease had trouble breathing, had dementia, his back legs gave out and lost his hearing. All of a sudden old age crept in—everything happened so fast.

The vet, said you only got one option, so she gave him sedative to relax him and then she gave him the second needle. The whole family was there saying goodbye to him till he took his last breath, telling him how much we love him. The last face he saw was my son crying and telling him how much he loves him.

We are lonely without him. People tell you to get another Aussie but I don't know if I want to go through that pain again. Hope to see you soon my baby at the Rainbow Bridge. We will be together again, I LOVE YOU Soooo MUCH. POPI. It's so sad GOD gives them such a short life span. They should last longer I'll gladly give 10 of my years to Max so he'll still be around. I totally forgot that my companion Max aged faster than me. I honestly thought we willl grow old together. REST IN PEACE MY BABY MAX.

my furry brother
by: Tania

I will miss you every day of my life Chee Chee. I called you that since the day I held you in my arms. You always knew I was speaking to you when I said it...you'd come running to me. I miss you with an ache in my heart and soul. I think of you every day. I look at your picture on my desk and try to push away the tears that threaten to overcome me. It's never going to be okay that you are gone. I just know that you couldn't stay longer because God didn't make it so that any dog could. I wonder where you are, what you are doing, what you are thinking, if you know that we miss you terribly, that we cry for you, and that we smile at our memories.I imagine that you wouldn't want us to cry as much as we do bc you try to tell us that we will see you again later. I imagine that you are playing in the grass with other dogs and eating as much rice, beans, and steak as you can. Maybe even some chocolate since you couldn't have any before. I imagine that you don't feel far from us. That you hear us still and feel our presence, and walk next to us sometimes just to see where we are going just to check out the safety of it, maybe to even tug on our pant-leg or sock and herd us in. I imagine that you feel our sadness and lick our hands even if we can't feel it sometimes. And when I see a dog that looks like you, I imagine that it's your way of saying hi and that you love us too. I know as humans we are supposed to get over it. I know we can't do that, but we are trying to be rational about it even though our hearts feel heavy. It hurts me to know you are gone and it hurts me to know that my family is heartbroken too. I can't make my mom or dad's pain or my brothers pain less in any way. Some humans never love a pet as much as we loved you, but you were our family and always will be. I learned to love animals deeply because of you and as a result I became more human and more in touch with how much there is inside of me. I'll never forget our memories. Time just went by too quickly. I was always aware of the ticking that seemed to tell me I would face this day but I always hoped it would stay far away. Now I can only miss you and the ticking of that will stay with me till my last breath. I'm sorry I wasn't there Max. It breaks my heart to have lost you without a final kiss. I'm just hopeful that you really heard me from Greece as I tried to tell you how much I loved you and begged you to stay. I love you immeasurably. I love you eternally. I will always regret not seeing you one last time. I hope I see you in my dreams sometimes.You were loved by us. Very much and always. Till I see you at the rainbow bridge my chee chee. I love you maxowaxo.<3
