Max-Luv by Lyla Babcock / Your best friend and “mom”” “

To My Sweet Loving Max. The name luv had to be added because you were so loving. You hugged me by putting your neck against mine and cuddling. I don’t think I will ever feel that kind of love again. Yet you could make me smile just as easily by running to smell the tv and make sure that ” animal wasn’t really in our living room” You brought a light into my life that was badly needed.

When I first seen you I knew out of all of the puppies you were for me. You were the quiet one that hid always pick the outgoing one they say, but I knew just one look into your beautiful eyes and you owned me.

You weren’t with me even a full 2 years but it felt like you have been with me a lifetime.

It seemed like the first year your name might end up being “damnit max” or “Max damnit” you were so mischievous either a shoe was missing or I found my glasses chewed up! God I would give anything to have to be late looking for my other shoe now or picking up all the toys you have strung. Driving is soo… lonely without you hanging over the middle of the seat giving me kisses every now and then. I miss you setting up in front of me and growling to get my attention. I know Lexy misses you too
even though she is a grumpy old dog.

I am so sorry for not watching out for you like I should have. I looked and looked but I knew when Lexy came without you that something was terribly wrong. Seeing my baby on the highway was like a horrible nightmare. I did every thing I could that I knew. I only hope you could feel my love when I picked you up and carried you. I am sorry I was unable to carry you all the way home. So I laid you in a safe place and kissed you goodbye. I sent Layne on the four wheeler with a blanket even though I knew you were gone I told him to be careful. I know this would not have happened if I would have checked the gates or even checked on you sooner. I even know you wouldn’t have went that far if it wasn’t for Lexy. I haven’t been able to sleep or do anything you were the light of my life . I am soo… sorry I didn’t watch
over you like I should have.

You were the best friend I ever had and even with all the pain I am not sorry I took you home that day. I pray your in heaven with Mom, Dad and chyko. and Fred playing in a field of wildflowers I love you Max-Luv.

 

Luv Hugs and Kisses,
Max-Luv
