Some people still don't know the story behind Max's Murder, click here

[kingrattus]

heres Max's murderer not even a week had passed before she did the unthinkable to him

[Foam]

Aww...he's changed so much.
*hugs* You're in my thoughts. I'm so sorry that this happened...

[Dogz]

Max has always been a handsome boy.
You are in my thoughts and prayers Jess.

[kingrattus]

Thanks guys


& its funny how he went to black to grey in only 10 yrs hehehe.

I use to pull all his white hairs once a week & then they were on his face, chest, leggs tummy & I couldn't keep up, nor did I want to make him bald.

I even bought him shampoo for black dogs & there was a warning on it not to use on light coloured dogs, only black/dark brown.. but NOOOOOO it made the white hairs stand out even more.

Oh, he's so handsome. I'm so sorry that he passed If it's ok, I don't want to make you feel even worse, but could I ask how it happened?

Aww, he was such a cute little pup He grew into a handsome guy. It's horrible what your mom did to him

[kingrattus]

I even had to stop talking to my dad too. hes blaming it on me saying i didn't give her enough $. I asked how much she wanted & she said none. Dad's called twice blaming it on me, so I had to block him from MSN

YAY don't u just love loving families !!

[bluekat]

Max was such a gorgeous boy.
What your mom did was just horrible I'm so sorry, and your dad's even blaming it on you...

Thanks for sharing the pics about Max. Isn't it funny how much they change, yet stay the same as they age?

[kingrattus]

ramanth tell me about it.
Last summer/spring the vet said Max's muscle tone & his health condition should give him another 5 years min. He said Max's health was the same as a 3-5 year old dog. & if u saw the video with Max fetching the chuck-it, u can see the speed & power he had for an old dog. His temp owners said they have never seen a dog run that fast before & they've had large dogs all their life.

I must have been doing something right. (the vet wanted to know my secret).

Max even kept his puppy face, which was nice

[Moose]

What a cutie Thanks for sharing, I know this is still hard for you.

Remember...we are all here for you.

Sweet baby Max
Your face is forever writ onto our hearts
Those eyes, so sweet and dark
Never changed
The love in them stayed steady
And though we lost you far too soon
The love remains for always

Sweet old man Max
The wisdom of 10 dog years
Is plainly enscribed upon your dearly greying face
The innocence of puppyhood gone
But the silliness still ingrained

Sweet Max
Jessica's dog of a lifetime
Forever romp in her heart
And in our imaginations

And as long as there is one dog hair embedded
Somewhere in her belongings
You'll be with Jess
And that, as any Lab-owner knows,
Means forever and a day.
