Finally....

Unfortunatley, My Beautiful Max was

put to sleep after a final visit to the Vets yesterday.

~   ~   ~   ~

A very sad moment for my daugther, Lucy,

& myself.

~   ~   ~   ~

He was aged 13 years,

Certainly a good age for a Labrador.

Lucy & I had been well blessed,

 with such a loving pet in Max.

We have many fond memories & photos of him,

who was such a big part of our family life!

To end my day yesterday,

it only seemed right to go for a long walk.

So I ventured to the Blackdown Hills,

& found a lovely woodland walk.

Max would have loved such a walk!

Already so much missed,

 but in kindness to him,

although a difficult choice to make,

we did do the right thing.

~   ~   ~   ~

Our final parting was definitely

 Huge Hugs & kisses from us both!

Lots of Love to Max!!!

Wakening

Plants in the garden now awakening

 from the slumber of winter.

The buds on the lilac shows evidence

 of the blooms to follow the openning of it's leaves.

Time to go pottering, tidying up every corner of the garden,

& to follow me in such pursuits,

 is faithful campion, Max!

He's perfectly in his element,

 with his nose taking in the fresh air.

More flowering spiralling,

 forming a wider range of colour.

But, after a few hours with me,

Max really thinks he deserves

 to lie & fall asleep on his comfy bed.

Max @ Home

Definitely Relaxing mode....
