Mourning/Loss Goodbye Max Mommy loves you
he held my finger with his foot until he took his last breath.My poor boy had fluid in his lungs and heart and I had to say goodbye so he wouldn’t suffer anymore.Goodbye Maxie I wish I could’ve had you longer than two years.I am so heartbroken I raised him and his brother since they were two months who knew two years later I would be saying goodbye💔

One of the very hardest parts of being a pet parent is making the decision to end your beloved fur babies suffering. It is the last gift we can give them. You did everything you could to give him a happy life, love, a soft place to sleep and good food to eat. Letting him go with your last best gift to him.
I am a firm believer that we ever reunited with those that we loved in the fun time and I feel sure that you will see him again. Until that time, please accept my deepest sympathies to you and his brother.

I'm sorry for your loss 😔 My sweet boy Domino 🩵 crossed over the rainbow 🌈 bridge Wednesday morning 💔😭🌈🩵🙏🏻😔 due to what I believe was heart failure because of the way he was breathing. Rest easy kitties

I'm so sorry to hear that, we lost our eldest Smudge last year to the exact same thing. Nothing can ever prepare us for having to make that absolute soul destroying decision but we done it for the best. Domino is now with smudge lapping up all the sunshine and dreemeez/churos they can eat. ❤️

Two years may feel too short, but for Max, those two years were filled with love. He knew he was safe and loved until his very last breath. Rest peacefully, little Max. ❤️🐾

I’m so sorry for you loss. There is nothing I can say that will take away the pain. But just keep in mind he knew what love was. My baby crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago at the age of 17. I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She was my everything just like Maxie was yours. Sending love and light your way.

So sorry for you loss, I feel it. Just lost my 5 yr old girl on Monday. I hope they're enjoying treats and playing together on the other side.

So sorry for your loss.
"Mommy loves you" hit me like a ton of bricks. I say this every day to my 19 year old before leaving for work 😭 now I realize it'll probably be the last thing I say to him too.

That is WAY too soon. I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray you'll find peace.
I promise the day will come when you'll be able to think of him and just smile withoutp sadness. Max is waiting for you patiently until you are ready to pick him up. He's playing with his friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Max. It hurts so much to lose a beloved pet, no matter how long you've been together. I know you'll see him again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

They choose us every bit as much as we choose them.
Thanks for making sure Maxie never went hungry and that he was cared for.
