Max was the greatest dog and my best friend.  He has given me so much love and acceptance.  I hope I have done the same for him.  Max was a beautiful Golden Lab.  He had the most loving personality and he was so gentle.  He has shown my mother and I more love than some people have.  Max taught me how to love and saved me from myself.  I used to tell him of my pains and  Max always kept my secrets.  He saved me from danger and cuddled with me when I was sad.  I wish he was here now to cuddle with me some more.  Max was put on this earth for a reason.  He helped my mother and I at a point in our lives when we couldn't even help ourselves.  Max has guided us and served his purpose.  Now, Max has moved on to a beautiful place where he no longer faces any hurt or danger.  A place where he can eat all the chicken stew he wants.  No more plain dog food for him.  I just hope the sun is shining and Max is with friendly faces.  A happy place where he can cuddle all he wants, and actually get the cars when he chases them.  I know you're not gone Max, you're just not physically here with us.  Just know that whenever I feel that warm, tingly sensation on the back of my neck, I will know it's you just saying "Hey!".  Please continue to guide me from your beautiful Nirvana.  I don't know what I would do without your wisdom.  I miss you and I love you more than you'll ever know.  I will never stop loving you and I hope to see you soon.  So play around and enjoy yourself.  I love you! xoxoxo ~Jenny
