May 11th, 2016 had been a very, very sad day for my beloved spouse, John and I. (*tears*)
Our dearest, darling and beloved pet, Maxi had gone to heaven, a better place where there's no more pain and suffering. He had been sick for about 2 months with a weak heart and lungs, worsening as time progressed with water retention in his lungs.
It had been an ordeal seeing him suffering. R.I.P our lovable and adorable boy!
A poem by unknown author in tribute to our darling Maxi, a miniature pinscher....
You no longer greet me,
As I walk through the door.
You're not there to make me smile,
To make me laugh anymore.
Life seems quiet without you,
You were far more than a pet.
You were a family member, a friend
. . . a loving soul I'll never forget.
It will take time to heal -
For the silence to go away.
I still listen for you,
And miss you every day.
You were such a great companion,
Constant, loyal and true.
My heart will always wear,
the pawprints left by you."
