He was a good dog. It's going to hurt to write Vivaldi for a while...

I'm so sorry to hear about Max. It is just heart-wrenching to have put down a beloved pet! When we had to have our dog put down, we arranged to go away for the weekend immediately following the procedure, because I didn't want to go back home without her. Sadly because of the time of the year, we weren't able to take her home and bury her there. It's hard when you're at home and still expecting them to come running up, always so full of unconditional love. It's probably been five years now, but I still miss her. We have a wonderful new dog now, but one can never replace the other. Mine was an akita. We had "his" and "hers" akitas, and she was my special angel. We just got a movie from Netflix called, "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" about a man and his beloved akita (based on a true story). It brought back wonderful memories, but yet it was hard to watch.
Anyway, all this to say that I feel your loss and I liked what Zelda had to say about it. Hang in there and cherish the memories.
