Tribute To Max

When you came into this world I was there to pick you up.
To get you started on your long but short life.
We grew together to become friends ,pals, companions.
You where there for me when times were tough.
There for the sad times, the happy times, sorrow and joyful times.
We traveled the country seeing new things, places and people.
We knew what each other wanted by the actions and looks we gave.
Coming home was an adventure, meeting you knowing what was instore
the affection you gave. 
Then the times of horseplay,and of the love you gave to make me feel wanted.
To protect your little Diva like no one else could. To let her do what she
 wanted never to hurt her.
To watch you go was a dreadful, hurtful thing, a sorrow that I will not
soon forget. but to be there as you go to heaven.
To hold you as you took your last breath, lying there as asleep to never again  
awake.
May God protect you til I see you again. To call your name then you run to me 
knowing we will be together forever and more.
I greatly miss you MAX. 
On this day of my birth Dec. 6th you are with the Lord in heaven.
A tribute to my dog MAX.
