Home Again...Forever

Posted by Rob (Velveetaville, United States) on 23 April 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

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.
