There is so much to say about Max. He was a great
dog.
He was our first Akita and a great ambasador of the
breed.
He is why we first fell in love with the breed.
He loved kids but especially Josh. He was so
tollarant of
Josh crawling and hugging him. He always kept
a watchful eye on Josh.
When people came to the house, he liked to do his tricks
for them and
when people met him, they wanted a dog just like him.
We have many funny stories on Max but I like what Donna
Bennett
said when she heard of his passing. "Your house
will be entirely too
quiet now! Who's gonna snore and keep people awake
and giggling all night!
He was a very special dog! Remember him with a smile...I
know I will :)"
He did have a snore that would echo off the walls.
We will never forget our good ol' Max dog.
Thank you to my friends for
Max's Memorial Ad in Akita World.
It means a lot to Rick and I !!!
To see it, go here.
