So this isn't even a "vlog" but I wanted to post it. I don't know why it makes that noise at the beginning of the video but whatever. This is in memory of my dog Max who died a couple weeks ago. He was an amazing dog in a lot of ways. He lived to be 10 years old. My family misses him a lot :(
Here's Max's story:
When I was little I hated dogs and my family had always just had cats. Then we got a lab that my sister named Eli, he had to be put to sleep because of a infection in his brain that made him go crazy and he ended up biting my mom. Then we didn't have a dog for a couple years just our cat Abbi. My dad surprised my mom with a new puppy we named Chloe when we where on vacation. She didn't like kids and would always be really protective of my parents but my mom loved that dog a lot. We went camping a year later on the fourth of July weekend and tons of fireworks where going off which creeped Chloe out and she got scared. My brother opened the camper door and Chloe ran out, they chased her until 2 in the morning when my mom's friend saw her run in front of a car, almost get hit and then jump into the very fast moving river which swept her away, and we never saw her again. I went to camp a couple weeks later and when my mom came to pick me up i saw her carrying a little puppy that looked like Chloe and I had some hope that maybe it was her, but it really was a new pup, and that was Max. He was the reason I came over my fears of dogs, He was my constant friend and comforter. When I saw him in pain it hurt me more than anything, but he still went on loving us and being our best friend through the years. He overcame many sicknesses when everybody said he wouldn't, he ate around 6 lbs of chocolate in his life and only threw up twice. That day he died I told him he could go now, that he had done his job and we would be ok without him, even though i didn't want him to leave that we would be fine. It hurt me so much because he struggles to keep his eyes open just so he wouldn't leave us. I think he felt that if he left he's be giving up on his family that loved him tremendously.
Here's a poem/ story I wrote for him before Max left:
Maxxie- We will miss you when you're gone. We will miss your warmness, your comfort when we're sad. We will miss your silliness and cuddles. We will miss all those times we chased you late at night when you wanted to "explore" :) We will miss going for long walks with you. We will miss your kisses and you protecting us. We will miss the sound of your bark (even when there's nothing there...) I know our family will always remember that day you came into their lives as a cute little wrinkly headed puppy, we will remember your first bark, we will remember you growing into a dog, we will remember you loving on Millie since the minute she came into the house, we will remember you hating old men that try to hit you will shovels, we will remember when we found the lumps of tumors on your stomach, we will remember you loving Uncle Clint who makes you SUPER excited whenever he comes over, we will remember you not eating when we're away, we will remember you always being loyal to them, we will remember how excited you get when they come home, we will remember how much you hate car rides and the vet, we will remember the day your muzzle started to grey, we will remember you begging for food at their feet, we will remember all the chocolate you ate during your lifetime, we will remember you always trying to catch that naughty squirrel that eats out of the bird feeder, we will remember your snaggle tooth look, we will remember you always nudging our hand when you want attention, we will remember you dumping over the garbage can every chance you would get, we will remember when you ran away & we never thought we's see you again, we will remember when you had limes disease and Haley had to carry you everywhere and feed you by hand and you always being the "invincible dog", we will remember how much you hate to take pills ( even if they're good for you) we will remember how much you love to sleep on the bed and curl up on the furniture, we will remember that day you lost control and peed all over the house, we will remember the TONS of water you couldn't stop drinking, we will remember when you went downhill on your health fast, we will remember that no matter how much pain you were in, you were always happy and loved everyone in the family (and most out of the family too) we will remember watching you close your eyes for the last time. We will never forget you and we love you forever. You will leave a paw print of love in our hearts that will never go away.
@012jys - I'm so sorry you lost your Tori. Yeah, Max died in my lap and it was the hardest thing I seriously have ever been through. If it weren't for Max i probably still would be afraid of dogs. I believe that our dogs are having a blast playing together and I cannot wait to see my Max again! Thanks for the comment.
