Our dearest beloved soulmate Max passed away this morning.
Max was at Angell Animal Medical Center hospital in Boston, where he had
surgery last Friday for a torn cruciate.
At first it seemed that the surgery went well, but he had some
problems develop after the surgery. He got a fever so they decided
to keep him longer in intensive care. Last night his fever went down
and it looked like he was back on the
road to recovery, but very early this morning he vomited and aspirated
into his lungs, and then he went
into cardiac arrest. They called us at 5AM. They managed to
resuscitate him, but he repeated the cardiac arrest
several times. He passed away in our arms shortly after we arrived at
the hospital.
We are in such shock. He was only 6 years old, and our hearts are so
very broken!
He was very happy and healthy, and was never alone during his short
lifetime, which was always so filled
with love. He saved our lives when we met him, shortly after our Sam
passed away. Max was born at the
moment that Sam passed away. We never thought we could love again, but
as soon as we met him our very dearest
beloved Max got right into our hearts. And he will NEVER leave our
hearts. Now Max is with Sam in heaven
at the Rainbow Bridge, much too soon, but he is there. And one day we
will be with him again
and kiss him and hold him and look into his most beautiful of all
beautiful eyes and souls.
We are with Joe now, and we know he is still waiting for his brother
Max to come home. They were so very close
and loved each other so much. They were inseparable. We look into
Joe's beautiful loving face, and we don't know
how to tell him that his dearest beloved Max is in heaven now.
Although we haven't updated this web site in some time, we have been taking pictures of Max, and more importantly, enjoying life with him. We love him so very much.

Max turned 11 weeks old today and is now quite proficient at the sit,
come, and down commands.
He is able to sleep 8 hours at night without the need to go out and has
also started walking --- quite willingly --- on a leash
for short periods of time. Max is very sweet and loves
giving and receiving a lot of kisses. He also sometimes
likes to press his nose into our faces between some of his kisses,
something we think he learned from his very sweet Aunt Gypsy.
Max is very attached to us as we are to him. What an incredible
blessing and joy!

Max arrived home with us June 25, 2002 and has settled into his
new home very well. He enjoys swimming, playing with his chew toys,
getting belly and chest rubs, and eating. He also loves fetching his favorite purple ball and retrieving toys from the water. He has a great sense
of humor and is very sweet and affectionate. No suprises! He
is a newfie after all :-) .
