For me personally, it is an honor to do memorial videos, sad but an honor. It's even more an honor for me when I wasn't around for their entire journey. So, for that I want to thanks Maximom and Maxidad for letting me into their special relationship with Max!
He mesmerized me because of the love shared and it goes without saying; his beautiful eyes.

There just aren't words in the English language to adequetly describe how much we loved our boy, and how much we love Ge'Lena's video. So, all we can say once more is, "Thank you" from the bottom of our hearts for making this wonderful tribute to our boy.
There are only a few people on this site who actually met Max; but I know that everyone who never met him now knows exactly what Max was like because of this video, and for that, we're eternally grateful. He was indeed, a beautiful boy.

So awesome to see so many more photos of Max! I was waiting to see the "super dog" photo and sure enough it was the one to end the wonderful video!!! A wonderful tribute indeed!

Those beautiful eyes saw many beautiful places.
What a loving family and a moving tribute.

Oh Ge'Lena...this was darn near as perfect a slide show as the one you did for Magic...brings tears to my eyes...Max was surely surely a stunner and those eyes...omg, those eyes are just mesmerizing...(and I liked all the other animals with him too...the kitty growing up....wonderful)

Nice job Ge'Lena. And I must say John's photos are spectacular.
I am one of the 'few' who got to meet Max last winter, those pics of him at the Mill Valley dog park bring back such bittersweet memories.
Karen
Wow, simply amazing. Beautifully done.
We also got to meet Max at the Mill Valley dog park last winter, watching Max and Linda with Diane and John you could see the love in their family.
I agree with Karen, very bittersweet memories.

Oh my gosh my Mom is sitting here all teary-eyed, this was just so beautiful watching Max grow up.
Mesmerizing Max, we love you always. May your spirit soar through the blue heavens with colors that pale in comparison to your stunning eyes. Wow.

You guys are so welcome. But seriously, the pictures of beautiful Max were amazing and THEY ALONE made the video. It was rather easy on my part. I think he could have made the song "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" seem good!
