Real Life Rainbow Bridge Stories

I lost Max my best friend ever, in 2011. He had a history of many problems, but was my 1st and only dog. It broke my heart when I had to let him go. He was so sick, with chf, disc disease, and many other issues. I will never forget the last day we spent together. I knew he was in bad shape, and I had done my best for him. We went to our favorite park, and even though I knew he was bad, we made it a great day! He so loved that park!

So, I made an appointment with our vet, just to see. The news was devastating. He was in a lot of pain, and would need a lot of surgery, meds, etc. He had been through so much before, and was 14 years old. I had to make the worst decision of my life. I will never forget on the ride to the vets, how he turned and looked at me for one last time! He knew! He was so brave, and such a good boy. I will always hold him dear in my heart. I will never get over him!

I've got a new dog now, named Raja. She is a sweetie, but I'll never, ever be over my Max. I was just thinking on him the other day, and when I walked into my bedroom, and something strange happened. I have 3 pics/memorials to him, posted over my bed, and my most favourite one fell down, on top of the other two, and didn't disturb them in any way. I hope to think my Max is still with me. I think he was giving me a sign, that he is ok.

I will always love him so much! And hold him dear in my heart. I have even left him a couple of memorial flowers, and a note, in our park. The 1st one is still there, but someone took the flowers in the other part of the park. So, I got new fall color flowers, and left them there. With my note, '4ever in my heart, 14 great years! Love you always Max!!' I miss and love him FOREVER.
