The Two Maxes: a farewell to the hairy one

 Once upon a time, there was a great dog named Max...

 

...who liked to ride in cars...

...chase critters...

...and smile.

Eventually, a few years later...

...a second Max came into world...

...and the two of them became fast friends...

...as they relaxed together...

 ...enjoyed feeding times...

...hung out in the kitchen...

...and attempted verbal communication.

.....................................................................

But this post isn't only about their friendship.

It's also, unfortunately, a farewell. 

This past Sunday (December 15, 2013), Max the dog passed away.  This last video, in fact, is the last record I have of their time together.

I'm not sure what will happen the next time toddler Max goes over his grandmother's house and expects to see the dog at the door, but I'm sure my eyes will water a bit when my son goes looking for him.
