Max – gone but not forgotten
We called you Backwards Max because whenever we called you, you would back up. Your other nicknames were Flash, Bullet, and Bunny because you were so quick. You jumped so high it was like you had springs on your feet!
When you sat on my chest, I’d rub your head and talk to you. “Max, you can sit there as long as you don’t lick me. You know I can’t stand for a dog to lick me. You can do whatever you want as long as you don’t lick me.” And, as soon as I quit talking, Zap, you’d lick me right in the mouth!
You were the light of our lives and you loved us as much as we loved you.
