We sent our buddy home today, it was the merciful loving thing to do, We got Maximus at 5 weeks old, they were weaned early, out of a handful, he chased us around barking every time we went near a sibling, he was hopping around saying "Hey Me, take me, me me" so he picked us, for this we are overflown with Gratitude and Thanks to God, as another member of the family to Love and receive Love from is possibly the greatest gift from God, we know they teach us unconditional Love, if we have eyes to see, he was the most protective dog, gentle to his people (who were few outside the home), it was his role, he never failed, mission accomplished, he left on 3-2, God knows what we need when we dont, Gabriel came to us 5 weeks early at 3lbs 2oz, God KNOWS, my friend Ian was with me as I laid him to rest next to his cousin doggies, Ian wouldnt let me trek up into the woods on my own, I am thankful God sent him, as we laid Max in his resting place, we were informed a baby goat was born, lil Max.
