I just found out that a border collie I used to have named Max, was put to sleep. I had given him to my sister a long time ago when my son was small. He was named after my ex-husband's video game character, Max Payne. His full name was Maximillion. He was SUCH a good dog.
I always thought he had doggie OCD or something because his full time round the clock job was to patrol the fence line back and forth RELENTLESSLY. This was to the point that no grass could grow in that area, EVER.... So, now I'm quite sure he is pacing the borders of doggie heaven. Rest in peace, Max.
The way I found out was not the best of ways.. I just found out and apparently he was put to sleep on May 10th?
This has not been the best week, not the worst but not the best. I keep reminding myself that life IS good. Isn't it?
Max sounds like my neighbor's border collie--why build a wall between us and Mexico when you could just buy a few border collies to patrol. (Why else would they call them BORDER collies? Duh!) Losing a dog is the worst, sigh. Our Kharma is part BC and I think they are the best dogs ever now! We keep her busy and she keeps us entertained!

We lost our wonderful keeshound in October. Kuper was such a loving, loving companion and I miss him dearly.
His dog buddy, Fred, still wanders around the yard looking for him in all their favorite places...under the deck, in the warm spot near the back fence and in the igloo doghouse that they shared.
