Slipped Through the Gate


Max, Maxie, Maximillion, Maxi-pad, Maxwell

Thank you for 17 great years!! You were a brother, friend, child and guardian! You protected us from the postman and you comforted us when we were sad. You dragged me out of the house whether it was cold and rainy or sunny and beautiful. You trained with me for my first (and only) marathon. You moved with us cross country twice and lived in at least six houses! You snuck around the house and onto beds or a couch whenever you got the chance. You pranced and danced around the house. You loved your squeaky squirrel like it was your own child. And even when I had been gone for two years you remembered and recognized me the minute I walked in the door. Thank you for your unconditional love and friendship. You are missed!






A note from my dad:

We find ourselves wondering around the house missing Max's energy and remembering all the beautiful quirks of his unique personality. He is missed and was one of a kind. How fun it will always be to remember back on our family dog and the love he showed for each of us and all of us. One of the nicest things he ever did was to leave us a day before we would have had to take him in. Once again, he saw an opportunity and slipped through the gate!
