I'll miss you buddy...

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart
with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece
of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will
be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." ~ Unknown

Max, the very best friend I have ever known lost his battle with cancer yesterday, March 19, 2008. He will be greatly missed... enough said.

Regards,

Rob

Here's to Max, a handsome, loving & loyal companion. Who will be so sadly missed by his family. If you meet up with any of the Jendella's munsters, Max, say hi.

@Jendella's: Thanks, and he has a long list of people and dogs to meet up with so his social life will be quite busy.

Cheers,

Rob

I am a friend of Lisa Bottcher's. I empathize with the loss of Max. He looks like an angel, and he is one now. Everyone who has ever lost a dog understands the deep well of grief you feel. He will watch over you. Thank you for giving him all your love for all those years, and may you be reunited someday.

Rob,
My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your best friend Max. He joins my Bandit and numerous other Pyrs that have gone before him. Instead the the Rainbow Bridge it should be called the Greatest Dogs Ever Pyrenees Bridge. You now have a new star at nite to watch over you and your family. He was a so handsome to the very end.

@Amanda: Thank you Amanda, Max, Bandit and all the Pyrs in heaven to romp around and guard those pearly gates. The only thing that keeps me going is that he will be able to watch over me for eternity.

Those Pyrs steal capture your heart don't they?

Hi Rob -- every time I look at these beautiful pics of Maxie Bear, I start to cry all over again. I will always miss him and love him and will always treasure the memories of that gentle giant.

I am so sorry to hear about Max, Rob. I was away since last week and only got back late last night - hence the late visit! My sincerest condolences to yourself and Phyllis and Mille. I hope as time goes on you can remember all the special times you had with your very best friend! I pray that those special memories and love for Max will carry you through this hard time and make it a little easier knowing he was so well loved and cared for by yourselves.

Take Care and God Bless Buddy,

Rob, somehow I lost track of you here at Am3 and didn't realize your beautiful buddy Max had died. I know time has gone on and it's about a year since you posted this, but I want to say to you today that I know it was and probably still is painful. You can't help but miss such a devoted friend as this guy. I hope somehow in God's heaven, he connects with my Maggie and Bella and Tiger; I think they could have a great time together.
