Maxine

She was my Best Friend.
So Let me tell
you the story about
My Best Friend
Maxine.
My husband wanted
a dog.
I never wanted a
pet.
We went to the
Animal shelter.
He wanted a big dog.
I really did not want
a dog. I knew it would
be allot of work.
When I saw her,
I knew. She was in a cage
all by herself. Leaning.
A German Shepard.
The most beautiful
thing I had ever seen.
I quickly dismissed her.
My husband, walked over.
This is a good dog.
Lets get her.
I nodded yes.
I let him walk her.
I did not want to
get to attached. I sat in
the back seat and she jumped
up in my lap and layed
her head on my shoulders.
That was it.
She owned my heart.
Through a bad Marriage she
was my Only Friend.
We did everything
together, We watched movies.
Maxine loved all
the scary movies. Friday
the 13th was her favorite.
Taylor Swift..she loved that cd.
Eggs..favorite meal.
But the Love. The love
was Free and Honest.
When I left , She was the only
thing I wanted.
My Husband knew this
and made it so difficult
for me.
I won. My brother made
sure of it.
After I left, Maxine had a tumor
on her lung and only had a couple
good years left in
her.
She traveled and loved some
serious life.
One morning, I knew ...
This was it.
I took her out and
she threw up and fell down
on her side.
She was foaming at
the mouth.
I took her to the
vet.
Pills, shots, surgery.
Nothing.
They would put her down.
I layed on the floor with
her.
I told her There would
be no better friend then her.
She was the best dog in
the whole world.
She looked at me.
She got up and layed her
head on my shoulders.
I felt her . Her heart.
She could barely
breath.
At that moment.
That second.
I Prayed.
God if you take this
beautiful creature from
me, you better love her
Love her as much as I do.
I kissed her and hugged
her sitting on the floor.
I said to her.
I love you Luv pup.
She put her nose under my
arm and cried.
The nurse came in
and I left.
That was it.
Maxine was a gift.
She saved me.
She taught me love.
Simply and Honest.
I will always be grateful.
