HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR ANGEL-MAXDOG

GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
MAXMOM here..

Max would have been 12 years old today.
I am so grateful for the all the wonderful memories that his short life provided us: 
that his legacy lives on...
that his healing aura has prevailed...
that his story still continues to do good...

"WHEREVER MAXDOG GOES, LET IT DO GOOD!"


Sending lotsaluv to all our friends and to everyone that made Maxdog's dream possible:

I HAVE A DREAM

I have a dream...
Of friends far and wide
I have a dream...
They will be at my side...

Where I can show my country: its bountiful delights:
The animals, the plants and so many sites!
To take in its cultures, it’s food, it’s sun,
To show my guests that Africa is fun!

I dream of laughter, of happiness, of care
I dream my joy in my country – they can share.
I dream of dancing, music and good
Of one big family... One big brood.

They came, they saw, they shared my dream
A dream that was all of ours... or so it would seem.
So THANK YOU, my guests, for just being you
My dream for Africa... has just came true!

Ah what happy memories of seeing South Africa through Max's eyes. (Mine are a wee bit misty just now, thinking of him and Hamish. Your touching poem brought it all back).
Cheers, Gail.

We are with you thinking about Max today.

Dear Maxmom, Who could have known how much Max would come to change your life and the lives of so many others. Today you know the ministry that you have because of him and yet you must be missing him so much. I know I miss my Sadie girl. Sending lots of love your way today.
Love, Noreen & Reggie

Hi Caryl, I know how you miss him. He was a one in a million dog! Hope most of your memories are happy, not sad. Take care my friend.
