Love, hugs and prayers-----sharing your tears and broken hearts. Thank you for sharing Miss Maxine with all of us. She was amazing!

RIP Maxine. You were always one of my forum favorites, and you had awesome "parents".
Run Free at the Bridge sweetie...

RIP Miss Maxine

I just can't believe Miss Maxine is gone. I have followed Miss Maxine since day one with Vicki and Bob.......and have thoroughly enjoyed her antics and adventures. Just last week, I saw pictures of Miss Maxine cruising through the parade of rescues. Though this all seems so sudden, I guess I should not be surprised because Miss Maxine did things her own way.

Vickie and Bob.....the day that Maxine came to your home, she knew and felt that she was loved....it showed in her face and in her actions. Miss Maxine is a one-of-a-kind, but so are the both of you. To take in a senior with health issues and give her such an amazing and fulfilling life in just these two years, is truly inspirational. Miss Maxine had the best life ever and it was because of the both of you.

Thank you for sharing Miss Maxine with the rest of us. I feel a sadness and lost as well. Then I am reminded of the Bridge, running free, eyes wide open, ears flying in the the breeze, and Miss Maxine looking for the next adventure....or sucker to fall for one of her tricks......and a cheesy grin on her face.

Miss Maxine left her pawprints on my heart.

I love you, Miss Maxine.

Miss Maxine will definitely be missed by many. What a great girl and a great life she had.

Our hearts are broken along with yours. Maxine brought many a joy to this forum and to the people who join together here.

May she rest in peace knowing that she was and will always be loved by many.

God bless you, Maxine - for all your antics and happy times with your forever family. Watch over your family now from the Bridge and keep all safe. You
are very missed, but always in our hearts.

I read ONLY the first (0pening post) and I am in tears. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Ditto to all that has been said.

Vickie,
I just read this yesterday night before bedtime. I am so sorry to hear this. As my husband has said before, Maxine is definitely one of his all time favorite being and mine too.

I feel that Maxine knew that she needed to be there at the National to send her messages to the whole world before she moved on. She knew. It is moments like this that confirm that there is a God. Everything is planned and God will be taking care of little Maxine.

Thank you for your big heart to care for Maxine's last years. And thank you for sharing her adventures with us. She really shows us all how to live.

A beautiful tribute. Bless you for the wonderful care you gave Miss Maxine. I have enjoyed reading your posts on her adventures.

I don't post much but I read daily. I have been out of town and away from the board so I am just seeing this. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. You are a special family, you and Maxine gave each other so much. I am so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. For all of us really. Vickie your stories of Maxine made us all feel like she was part of our lifes too. She was truly one in a million.

Vickie, what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful cocker. You have my sincere sympathy for your tremendous loss — a loss we all share.

Vickie, I'm so sorry to be reading this news. Your tribute to your beautiful girl brought tears to my eyes and I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for giving Maxine the best years of her life and sharing her with all of us

I loved the photos of her at the Nationals in the Parade of Rescues

In my book she was "Best in Show"

I am so sorry for your loss. I along with every one else loved Maxine and enjoyed her stories. In memory of Maxine I made a donation to a cocker rescue.

Today would have been your second Gotcha Day. I miss you so very much and today the feelings are so bad. I keep thinking of two years ago when I first got to see you in person and get you out of that horrible shelter setting. I knew we wouldn't have you long but I so hoped we'd have you for longer than I did - of course I always wish for more time.

I hope you're having a great day at the bridge with your friends but I also hope you stop by for one brief moment to say hello. I miss you so much it hurts.

Vicki, thinking of both you and Maxine and knowing how much your heart hurts. {Hugs}

Oh Vickie...I am sending the biggest cyber hug I can. ((((((((HUG))))))))))

Vickie, I'm holding you in my heart today. I know it must be so hard.

Vickie, all of these anniversaries and "firsts" are so hard! I cried reading your post, and I'm hoping your memories of happier days can carry you through.

I'm sending you {{{HUGS}}}.

This weekend is Sadie's 2nd Gotcha Day anniversary, too. I knew we got our pups about the same time, just didn't know it was the same weekend.

We all miss Miss Maxine, but none as greatly as you do.

Sending lots of
