Our precious Maxy passed away on Friday. He died while my daughter and I held him at the animal hospital. He was a victim of someone's carelessness. They left out some poisoned bait meant for rodents , we assume, and Maxy ingested some. He had an agonizing death that has traumatized us all. And all we could do was stand helplessly by and watch him suffer.
Please, Please don't use poisons on or around your property for any reason at any time. It is a risk to so many innocent little lives and the dying process is horrible. Maxy bled internally and then his eyes and ears hemorrhaged and he vomited blood. We could not bear to watch him suffer any longer and asked the vet to euthanize him. She thinks it was Warfarin (rat poison) or possibly strychnine.
He was a wonderful little guy with lots of personality and a member of our family. He was beloved in our neighborhood and our friends and neighbors are upset and angry and have sworn to find the culprit. He will be so missed by so many, but he will always be in our hearts and will always be the 'Dog on the Blog'.
Very sad Genie
Dear Jeannie
ReplyDeleteI am really sorry for your loss. Maxy was so beautiful and sweet. Losing your pet happened to quickly. I know how much he meant to you especially when Maxy ate the rabbit poop and hid from you at bath time or hid behind the commode when the thunder rolled . I will miss your beautiful dog. He will be missed.
Maxy will always be the 'Dog on the Blog'
Much love,
NEE and the Carano Family
PS : I do so hope we continue to have Ask Maxy in his memory.

My dear Lady ,
ReplyDeleteBest friends come in all breeds. Maxy was
such a special dog. May you always remember
the fond memories and keep them forever close in your heart.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
With Deepest Sympathy

Thank you all so much for your sentiments and sympathy.
ReplyDeleteMaxy left a big hole in our lives. He saved Brian's life by making him walk every day after his heart attack...and this year, he saved my life. While I've been ill, he has been my constant companion and has kept me from feeling sorry for myself.
So you see, he is irreplaceable.
'Ask Maxy' will be a fitting memorial to him.
We appreciate your kindness
Much love to you all
