My condolences on your loss of Max. Those furry friends are so special! Sounds like he had a wonderful life as a member of your family. (We lost our old Daisy a few weeks ago after almost 15 years, so I feel your pain.)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your friend! Losing an animal who loves you unconditionally is heard. Remember the good times!

Thanks everyone for the kind words of compassion. Although we haven’t met most of you in person, it is easy to tell just how wonderful you all are!!

Our birds certainly have a fighting chance with the great people who are part of our community.

My earliest memory of deep sorrow was when my grandparents’ dog was killed. How much closer to you is the loss of Max. As a child I had every manner of pet, but my mother objected to having a dog. She got one right after the last of her five children left the household, and she so loved it! Only last year, our toddler granddaughters lost Maceo, their beautiful old Lab-Dobie, whose story I told in a blog post. I shared their sense of loss, but they felt it most deeply. You had a wonderful friend in Max, and I am so sorry for your loss

I am deeply sorry for your loss, aging is inevitable but the memories are forever and you guys loved that dog so much that you wont ever forget him.

Do not be sad…theres a song form George Harrison (all things must pass) that reminds me that…

It’s sad to lose any member of the family, and pets seem to bond and become a part as much as anyone! Nice tribute, and Boo Bear will stay in the hearts and memories of all for years to come. Time has a way of making things seem better, but keep the memories close… they never go away!

My best wishes for you all, it is always hard to lose ‘a family member’.
The fun facts are great to get an idea of the cool friend and companion Max had been to you, and I’m sorry that he’s gone now
I know it’s hard, but cheer up thinking about the good times together.
Hugs from Peru.

Our dogs will always be puppies and our cats will always be kitties, no matter their age.
Keep all those sweet memories close!

Oh Birdfreak, my heart goes out to you and your family. Losing a pet hurts so much, but it’s always good to have such sweet memories. I posted a few days ago about our loss that took place only a year ago, and it still hurts to think about losing Kody. My thoughts are with you as you feel the loss and fondly think of the wonderful years you had with Max.
