rest in peace Max. i still haven't replaced my retriever, losing her took too much out of me.
dogs are amazing friends and family. the majority of marriages don't last 15 years but the relationship between dog and owner/companion does. by the time your kids reach 15 they are going through the rebellion stage where they hate you and don't want to be around you. but your dog - right there by your side, waiting for you to come home and greeting you like you're something special
