Introducing Max



Myra (Charlie's cousin and best friend) gave birth to three puppies last March. The puppies are mixed Japanese Spitz and Lhasa Apso. I wanted to adopt one of the puppies but understood that there are families already waiting for them.



Max, the only male puppy, was returned to my cousin last week because his adoptive parents found him too rambunctious. They realized that they cannot take care of the puppy, especially since they have a little girl who is afraid of it.

Thus, last week, my cousin asked me if I want to take care of Max.

I never expected that he will be my dog. In fact. I was already looking at other options. But, as I told my friends, it felt right. Max is adjusting wonderfully in our family. He is as naughty as any other puppy, easy to train and motivated by food.


When Charlie died last month, I said I will close this blog because I could not think how I would continue doing this anymore. But, I think Max deserves a voice too. And I think at the Rainbow Bridge, Charlie is nodding in approval.

Ohmygosh, is that puppy cute or what! You'd better keep it under lock and key because you never know when I will creep around the corner, snatch it up and run all the way back to my house!

WE didn't know Charlie but we are teary as we read about him. We think you are right. He would want you to carry on your life, filling it with love, even as you grieve. We lost one of our own this year so we know how painful it is to lose a furry. Purrs and tail wags.
