Julie,
You did the best you could for Max, and gave him a good life, it is just not fair sometimes.
Someday your tears will be replaced with smiles, for now we grieve your sudden loss with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Max's picture always made me smile. He reminded me of a little spunky firecracker in a dog's body. It is hard to lose a beloved pet and even harder when it happens unexpectedly. I am praying for you guys.

We are so sorry to hear of Max's passing. You are a strong person to make the decision to release him from his pain. I hope you find peace in knowing that you did all you could for Max and that you did the right thing.
RIP little Max...Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Julie,
I am so sorry to read about Max. Sometimes we do all the right things, make all the right choices, and it just doesn't work out the way we wished. I know this is a difficult time for you. I hope you will find comfort in the many sincere words from your tripawd family. You and your family will be in my thoughts.
RIP sweet Max. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Oh Max.... it seemed that everything was going so well for you. This post was not one that I expected to see. We are so very sorry for your loss, we know and understand your pain, as Shanna said, sometimes you do all the right things and it doesnt work out for you. You guys did all you could for Max and Im sure he knew how very much you loved him. Rest In peace Max, run healthy and whole!

Julie,
my heart goes out to you. Max was a sweet and very much loved boy. You were both so lucky to have found each other and to share a special bond that will stay with you forever. Your time together ended much too soon. I am very sorry for your loss.

Oh, I am so stunned and saddened to hear this news. Max seemed to do so well at the beginning I really did think that her would get through this. I am so sorry for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this very difficult time.
When tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone. I had some smiles today when going through all of my pictures I had of him. Plus, and I know this is probably going to sound dumb, but I found a little clipping of his fluff that we'd trimmed when he got something sticky in it, having that around is actually making me feel a little bit better. <3
Julie, mom to Spirit Max the Pomeranian,
the bravest poofle dog who ever lived!

What a beautiful little smile your boy has..........I bet he is charming my golden girls at the Bridge.
Godspeed, little one.....run fast, play hard. See you on the Other Side. Julie, to you I wish peace and comfort and healing in time knowing that you gave him the ultimate gift of freedom.

Julie, that doesnt sound dumb at all.. you should see the envelope of Coopers fur that I have gone around the house and collected. I was going to trim some off of him, but he had been stripped of so much dignity by the cancer I couldnt, but yes, I like to open my envelope of his fur and touch it and look at it, if thats dumb ... oh well.

I loved your Tribute to Max. It was very touching. Great pictures and very cute videos! My Chihuahua used to turn in circles just like that. I know that Max was a Great Joy in your life and you will cherish all of those wonderful memories!
I agree with Coop's dad! I have an envelope too next to ashes and a picture. His dog collar on the post of my bed so sometimes I can hear it jingle and it is near where he slept! Cherish those memories and loving reminders as I know that you will! Again so sorry about lil Max!
Oh I am just heartbroken over Max's passing. What a trouper he was. I can't offer much but I offer my tears and sadness for your loss. Blessings on you.
