A bouncing baby Rotty came into my life as a gift from my husband. I had been thrown into a deep depression following the horrible cancerous death of my best friend Karen. Over the years, Maximum has been my constant companion, best buddy, and truest friend. My husband died suddenly in 2002, and had it not been for Max’s kisses and hugs, I know I couldn’t have
gotten through Richard’s passing.
Maximum was diagnosed with very aggressive bone cancer in his leg, and with his weight (150 lbs) it soon became painful for him to walk or even sometimes stand. 3 weeks after his diagnosis, Max was lying on his favorite rug, surrounded and holding his favorite toys, in his own home and being cuddled and hugged all the while being gently whispered to…as he quietly and lovingly went to sleep.
My grief is overwhelming! Only the Lord can possibly get me through Max’s passing! Thanks Max, for always being there for me, hugging and smiling, making me laugh, making me cry and teaching me how much a human can love an animal!! I shall remember you ALWAYS !
Beyond Belief with Grief,
