The finality of Max being gone really came the day when we picked up his ashes from our Vet.
I was way too emotional and couldn't even begin to post this at the time we brought him home a few weeks back. Even now I am struggling to hold back the tears as I try to type this note.
We decided that Max should always be in the front window of our house. He loved to look out the window and often did. When ever something or someone traveled out in front of the house he would jump up on the couch and check it out... that and he would bark a warning bark to let whoever or whatever was out there know that he was inside watching.
I always felt safe both physically and emotionally when he was in the house with me... I don't feel so safe in either way any more.
"Every year, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters; some three to four million of these animals are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them."
Please be a responsible pet owner and have your pet spayed or neutered.

@Meg: Thanks Meg, your Uncle is a sap all right... better days (posts) are coming.
When you told me you were posting one today Uncle Rob I kept checking since yesterday morning waiting for what I knew would be something amazing. Its unbelievable that something so simple as a collar and dog tags can say so much, but it does.
Oh and I know that you said you don't feel as safe, but he's still there. Still watching, still barking, still by your side with loyalty.
