Just said goodbye to our dog Maximus

[Chuck]

13 good years of loyalty and love that he's bestowed upon us. 

Sad day in the Richter casa.

Sorry for your loss Chuck. Losing pets is just the worst 

[red321]

Sorry Chuck...that sucks.

[Jason]

Bummer. 13 years is a good run

[NJHalo]

Sorry Chuck. Been there twice in the past two years, it sucks.

My advice is to "get right back on the horse". Get another dog. We waited a while after putting down the first dog, and all we did was wish we still had her for months. When the second one died unexpectedly (hit by car), we went out and got another one within a couple weeks. The energy, affection, and enthusiasm that a new puppy will bring back to your life is the best cure for your sorrow, and will help you move on.

He's a good-looking dog, Chuck. 

It's hard losing a best friend. 

[Stradling]

Man, Chuck that is the worst.  Back in May, just a few days before my son's wedding, we put down Champ.  Champ was a 14 year old Black Lab.  My younger son didn't even remember life before Champ.  So sorry for your loss.  I loved seeing the pictures you would share of Maximus, such a great looking dog.  

[Tank]

Condolences, Chuck.

[Slegnaac]

Very sorry to hear this news.  Losing a member of the family is so hard.  Remember all the good times and the joy Maximus gave you and your family.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.

[Angel Oracle]

Condolences to you and your family, Chuck

Sorry for your loss Chuck.

From those photos, he looked as happy as can be next to that river! You guys gave Maximus an incredible life.

[Docwaukee]

So sorry Chuck.  Losing a pet sucks.

Had to put down our 18 year old Spitz mix and our 13 year old Wheaton Terrier within 3 weeks of one another last year....thought they'd have to put me down after that experience....we now have a 3 year old Great Pyrenees (he has been a trip, for sure)....they truly become part of your family....

[Chuck]

Thanks guys..

That's right!! I totally forgot, @mtangelsfan. 

That was a good day. Really glad you got to meet him..

We really spoiled him with love. He also loved living on the river tucked away in the PNW.

such a good boy

Sorry Chuck, had to.

sorry for your loss

[IEAngelsfan]

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Losing your dog simply sucks.  It's been a year since we lost our Willie and I still feel it.

[mancini79]

Horrible news Chuck. I will miss him at the Riverfloat each year seeing him swim after us. Andrew's wife, Sharon, will be devastated when she finds out. Every time we mentioned your name, she always asked how Max was doing. What a great dog. Princess and Max are now reunited.

[UndertheHalo]

This too bad.  Sorry Chuck, dogs really do become big parts of the family.

Yes they are, @mancini79. Two of the best dogs, lost within a 3 year span. 

Truth be told, after Princess died, Max's health started to go south. He aged very quickly. I believe it was because of his broken heart, losing his best friend Princess.
