rsieg Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Max passed away this evening. Adopted at just past 10 years old, so he was always my old man. He came in having been alpha dog in his last home, and initially put Logan in his place. Then they switched roles as Max got older, but Max always knew how to game the system and stick up for himself when it mattered. Max loved, loved, loved walks. I was so proud of him, he walked 2,655.60 miles in the just over three years I had him, according to the Walk for a Dog app. Not bad for an old guy. And he never stopped: last night he went for 1.67 miles, and 1.29 miles this morning. I was always afraid he would end up too old for his favorite activity, but he never let that happen, and I am so happy we had a brief warmup these last couple days so he was able to get out. We even got a weekend park walk last Sunday. What else? Peanut butter! His favorite - he had to have a smear of it on a plate every night, except for special nights when he got to clean out a jar. If I made a PB&J sandwich he would be standing in the kitchen, drooling. Made pilling him easy - just add PB. And bones - he loved those filled femur bones from the pet store. Back yard patrols. That was Max’ job, and he took it seriously. Of course he would wait until I was in bed and then cry to go out. Then he would patrol the entire perimeter of the fence. He kept that up to the end as well, even going out in 5 deg F nights for his patrol. Ears - he had those great big bat-type ears, and held them straight up whenever he was looking at something interesting. My sleeping buddy. He always slept either on his bed on the floor of my bedroom or in the adjacent hallway. He was such a good dog. Such a good dog… Quote Rob Logan (April 7, 2010 - July 9, 2023) - - Max (August 4, 2004 - January 11, 2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
