As soon as we welcomed Max into our family, our lives changed forever.  He was a nutty dog but loved very much.  He would beg for a drink of your soda, he would break blinds just so he could look out the window.  He loved to bury his toy and his greenies everywhere in the house, in fact, there are still 3 greenies under the couch.  It was never really a family trip until Max was in the car with us.  He was with us through good times and bad times.  I am glad that he at least got to meet our daughter and enjoyed random licks of her for 3 weeks until he left us.  We remember the good times and know that one day we will cross the Rainbow Bridge and be reunited with him.  We love you bear.
