This past week Max began showing signs he wasn't feeling well, around Wednesday. He wouldn't eat or drink, he had no energy. He lost his luster and his shine and his eyes became dull. My son was out of town for a week's vacation with Dear Hubby so getting Max to the vet and trying to get him some help fell on my daughter-in-law and me. By Friday he was very ill. She took him in earlier in the day, then I took him back Friday evening so they could give him an IV to try to sustain him until the next morning when the Veterinary Hospital opened. By Saturday morning, he was in pretty desperate shape. We took him in, and to make a very sad story short, we had to have him put down. He was barely hanging on to life when he arrived at the hospital.
So...Maxie will never be slipping out of the door again and frisking off into the distance. He'll never come and sit beside me early in the morning on the days I take care of my grandsons, laying his head on my lap while we wait for the boys to awaken. He doesn't need to worry about obeying the word "Come!" anymore. I'm sure in his little corner of doggy heaven he's free to run and enjoy himself as much as he wants to. I'm sure he's there to give some little angel boy or girl all the love he bestowed on us here on earth. And I'm sure, on the day each of us gets to heaven, he'll be there waiting at the gate to welcome us home.

I know how you feel. If he happens to run into a beagle named Fred, tell him to say hi.
Miss Kriss, My heart goes out to you as you grieve for Max. Our dogs entwine their hearts with our own and it really hurts when they are gone. Blessings.
Ohhh Kris, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry that I'm just seeing this.
Your post expresses your love for Maxie very well, and I totally understand.
I am so sad to hear of your loss. I cannot imagine. I am a dog owner/lover too… I totally agree our pets return to Heaven, because they are furry angels here on earth. Words fail me, but please know my heart is there with you. May all your wonderful memories bring you some comfort. (((((HUGS))))
Aw, I know this is late, but I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing those animals are like losing an arm and 3/4 of your heart. They love us so. Hope your pain as eased some as time has gone on.
My daughter (Annabel) suffered from schizophrenia for 5 years. I had no idea what was happening and didn’t know where to turn for help. It was hard then because I really didn’t understand the symptoms earlier until she was diagnosed. There was a time she decided to get away from everyone, I was not excluded. I had to sit and cry almost every day because I felt helpless as a single mother (she is all I have got). The anguish I went through taking care of her alone is beyond explanation because there was no support whatsoever from the dad or family members. I fought for proper medical care and humane treatment; I did everything within my reach to get her cured but all to no avail. Countless different medications was prescribed (Zyprexa, fluphenazine, Risperdal, quetiapine, etc.) that she was taking but all we could get was myriad of side effects such as rigidity, drowsiness, dizziness, tremors and restlessness which tends to worsen the already damaged situation. Frustration was the order of the day. I wrote a couple of messages to Ontario Mental Health Foundation for help because watching my daughter go through such was devastating. It was at this foundation someone shared a testimony about DR James herba mix medicine, how effective it is and how she went through the most difficult times of her life trying to help her mom fight Schizophrenia. Being that I was already at the verge of giving up because I just couldn't imagine waking up every morning to fight the same demons that left me so tired the night before. I had to contact the doctor,on his email (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com) from our conversations; I was relieved and convinced that the result is going to be positive because I was made to contact people with worse cases. Today, the awful situation of my daughter has gone by. Her happy life is back. She is now a schizophrenia survivor and I am glad because my daily routine activities can now kick off without obstructions. Don't let Schizophrenia hinder you from living a desired life and also, never allow anyone to decide for you especially when they don't know what you have to go through to get to where you are. I was almost discouraged by the doctor but then, I remembered that: I have to shield my daughter’s destiny with courage, faith and perseverance because she is not in her right state of mind and that the bravery and freedom from fear is found in the ‘doing’. Her life is now a testimony. After my daughter got cured,from the herbal mix medicine Dr James prepared and sent to me, she said, Mom “I just thought, ‘Well, I’m a weirdo, I’ll never be normal, then I said, my daughter, life itself is a misery and we get stronger in the places we have been broken. Thanks to you Dr. James for your excellent counseling, no more psychotic symptoms for the past 3 years and 4 months now.
