When someone loses a special pet it is hard to live without him/her.
They realize for a long time that it is very hard to see other
neighbors walking dogs and not having one them selves.
It is even hard not to cry when they see a dog movie even
if it’s a hilarious Scooby Doo movie.
To my mom my dog Max has become a daughter for 17 years
and her best friend but when she left may mom knew it was
the time and she knew that Max would be very happy with
no more falling down stairs and no more sore hips.
On that day that Maxine left there was a beautiful rainbow and
we all knew that she had crossed the rainbow bridge and we
would all see her some day when we leave too.
To help remember every stage of her life before she was put to sleep
my mom and I made a big colage with a lot of her pictures.
There were pictures of when my parents got her for
Christmas at 6 weeks old when she rolled around egg cartons
with her nose and camping with my parents etc.
Then my brother came and Max would be his pillow at night
and watch him play.
When I was born I was 2 and Max was almost 6.
She was still very playful and loved tennis balls.
She loved playing in the sprinklers with Ian and I when I was about
2 so she was 7 or 8.
In the winter my parents would have snowball fights with her.
Max would catch the snow in her mouth and sometimes
bark at it. She barked at waves on beaches too.

Every pet is a special angel that lives on earth to make a
special humans life extra wonderful.
When the angel dies she returns to her original home and
waits for her family on the other side of
the rainbow bridge.
