Rest in Peace: Maxie [View all]

It was with a heavy heart I made the decision to euthanize Maxie today at 1:00 p.m. Her longtime vet examined her and said the end was very near and that if it were his dog he would do the loving thing and make the decision to euthanize so she wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

He said I took excellent and loving care of her for twelve years and it was time to take that one last loving step.

I know without a doubt it was the right call to make, but I miss her so much already.

Thank you for all who have been here to offer support through her last couple of weeks.

It helped me and her.

She was my best friend, my lady bear, and she will always be in my heart.
