Max aka maximus

2013 - 2026

Max was more than a Dog, he was A constant companion, best friend, loving friend, anti-cuddle buddy, champion eater, master comforter, and a safe place. He had a way of making even the most basic things feel huge just by being there. His presence was grounding, his love unconditional, and his loyalty unwavering.

Max taught me what devotion looks like without words. He showed me patience, gentleness, true love and how powerful quiet companionship can be. Losing him has left a space that can’t be filled and i'm not entirely sure what life will look like without him.

there isn't one moment or one thing that doesn't remind me of him. i will miss seeing him walk out of a room and run over. i'll miss making him breakfast. i'll miss grabbing an extra hash brown just for him from mcdonald's. i'll miss hearing him play with a new toy. i'll miss booping his nose. i'll miss him giving me his paw. i'll miss seeing him run in the snow. i'll miss him begging for treats. i'll miss seeing him getting excited to go outside. i'll miss hearing him each food. i'll miss seeing him look me in the eye with understanding. i'll miss him allowing me to lay my head on him and allowing me to give him a hug. i'll miss giving him a kiss goodnight and good morning. i'll miss seeing him shed and just clumps of hair fall off. i'll miss just him.

it's criminal to me that dogs don't have more time, but i'm grateful to have had max and i always will be. i hope that one day we can see each other again except it'll be forever next time.
