Maxine and Me

This was taken two days before her death, I had gotten a new camera and need some pics of my baby!

Well its basically all in the title, Maxine and me she was Maxine I was me and from July 8th, 2006- January 19th 2007 Maxine had a huge impact on my life. I had adopted her she was a young dog about two years of age. She always had to run off if I wasn't around for some darned reason apparently she thought I had left her behind and she wanted to come and find me. Maxine wasn't a Jack Russell Terrier she was a German Shepherd/Rottweiler cross that stole my heart on the first day. To make a long story short Maxine ran off one morning and was struck by a semi truck at 70 mph and was already dead when I got there, her head had whipped around and slammed into the bumper of the truck, killing her instantly she bounced off and landed in the ditch and didn't move again I guess. I had the vet look at her he said she had died from injuries sustained to the base of the skull sometimes called a basilar skull fracture results are usually fatal, it was just a sad day to lose her we only had her for seven months but she changed me in many ways. Maxine now romps with other dogs at the Rainbow Bridge a wonderful dog-heaven where all our pets go, a place of sunny meadows and hills the pets wait until the day comes when their owner arrives to take them to heaven never to be separated again, Maxine I will join you someday and we will cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
