Jess, I'm extremely sorry about your loss. I am just now catching up on everything..been so busy lately. If it makes you feel any better, because I know it makes me feel a little better, my family had to put my 15 year old Pug, Rudi to sleep today...we gave her probably an extra 3 years compared to her previous family...if not more...but anyways...her and Max are probably playing and running around together right now...She can now see and hear and be pain free and most of all has a new playmate. I hope they are having fun because they deserve it!!!! God bless you and Rob and Max and all who have been affected by Max's passing. May your mom (and dad for agreeing) get what's coming to them..what goes around comes around..just remember that! Chin up, smile, and be happy...Max wouldn't expect anything less from you!
