It’s too bad that dogs don’t live as long as they could. I’m glad you had a good life with him..You keep his memory alive with this article.

Rich I am thinking of you - i still weep occasionally for my cat Frannie who passed three years ago - we spent nearly 20 years together. Animals are often more amazing, loving, and loyal creatures than humans choose to be. Thank you for sharing this story with me - you are a gifted writer. See you soon in Santa Monica! Love, Ali

Thinking about you a LOT today, Maxie!

You are the best good boy EVER!

Hope your face and paws are covered in dark, loamy soil from digging up gopher holes and that your coat has the slight sent of dried saltwater from bodysurfing in the waves at Dillon Beach and that you have coyotes to bark at and great dog friends around to pal up with and defend your turf, like Lola and your mom and dad (Juliet and Romeo) and hope too that you have met Beau. Indian chiefs like hawks - I’m sure by now you know what i’m talking about.

love you SO MUCH. I still bury my face in your mane and inhale and massage your neck and shoulders until you grunt and better than ever before i have fun with you UNLEASHED in all of our favorite places. in the lakes, the rivers, the fields, the forests, the horse farms, the car rides, the trails, the towns, you live on!

Love, love, love,

your dad

This brings back many fond memories from my lab who passed away when I was 13. There is nothing like the relationship you can have with your dog. Great read. Thanks

Rich,

I remember Max as a puppy, a big, happy bundle of the softest fur ever. I have always thought our stewardship of animals brings so much joy. The bond between the two of you was beautiful to see.
