Maxy's Gone .... And his family is Broken Hearted

Our precious Maxy passed away on Friday. He died while my daughter and I held him at the animal hospital. He was a victim of someone's carelessness. They left out some poisoned bait meant for rodents , we assume, and Maxy ingested some. He had an agonizing death that has traumatized us all. And all we could do was stand helplessly by and watch him suffer.

Please, Please don't use poisons on or around your property for any reason at any time. It is a risk to so many innocent little lives and the dying process is horrible. Maxy bled internally and then his eyes and ears hemorrhaged and he vomited blood. We could not bear to watch him suffer any longer and asked the vet to euthanize him. She thinks it was Warfarin (rat poison) or possibly strychnine.

He was a wonderful little guy with lots of personality and a member of our family. He was beloved in our neighborhood and our friends and neighbors are upset and angry and have sworn to find the culprit. He will be so missed by so many, but he will always be in our hearts and will always be the 'Dog on the Blog'.

    Dearest Nee,
    I feel so bad for your family. So sorry to hear about your sweet Maxy. Please know that my prayers are with you and the family. I know that Maxy is in heaven watching over you all and he knows that you all did the best you could to help him. I can understand how you must feel. My Angel Kitty had to be euthanized as well 6 years ago. I also held him while the vet gave him peace. You never will forget, your memories will be in your heart forever. It must be so hard for your children....I never use anything like those poisons. The first words I always say is it safe for pets, even though I have no pets anymore. Love and prayers dear friend, know we are here for you! RIP dear Maxy....Dottie <3

    Dearest Dottie ,
    Thank you for your ever so kind words ,,, thank you for your prayers for me and my family , they are very appreciated . Maxy was a great little guy and I know he is watching over us . I understand how you also felt when you had Angel Kitty euthanized , I told the kids it wasn't being mean ... it was best because he was suffering so . Dottie , it scary , you just don't put posion out where there are lots of pets or kids . I don't think Maxy thought he was a dog , He thought he was a little human ;- D . The kids are sad but as we are telling them to refleck on the good memories .
    Thank you my friend for your kind words and support it do mean a lot . ... ~~Nee~~

    I am just so very sad for all of you, Nee. This was how we became owners of our first pet kitty when he was only 3 weeks old. His mother found some poison somewhere. I send lots of hugs to all! xo Nellie

    Dear Nee,
    I am sooooo sorry to hear of this news. It is so wrong of people to use such deadly poisons especially where pets and children are out and about. Your children must be devastated. Oh my, I too will keep your family in my prayers. Just terrible! I do hope someone finds the culprit so they can feel what they have done. Sending warm hugs your way Nee...please share them with the kids and your family...

      Dear Louise ,
      The kids are devasted and they are coping pretty well ... they want me to keep him as the Mascot of the Blog , Of course I will , Maxy thinks he was human ... look at him sitting on his butt on the sidebar grinning .
      Maxy will be missed .... hubby told the kids to keep the memories and love and Maxy will always be in their hearts .
      Thank you dear friend for the hugs and I will share them with my family .
      Thank you ever so much for caring . ~~Nee~~

    Dear Nee, I am so sorry for your loss. I send my prayers to Maxy and to your family. Losing a pet is so heartbreaking...because it's like losing a member of the family. What a tragedy.

    We never use any pesticides or poisons of any kind. We never believed it was healthy for animals and people to be around, or for the environment for that matter.

    Sending hugs to you sweet friend.

    xo

    Nee, so sorry about your dog Maxy ! I have a beagle. My family & I love her very much. She's about 6 years old but has very poor eye sight. Still with us ! Yes, we definitely have a lot of fun times together. Not knowing when she'll leave us. >o<
