Thanks for the kind thoughts, well wishes, and condolences guys, that means a lot in times like this. They say that time heals everything, but it sure hasn't helped much at this point.
Last night while preparing dinner, my wife let out an unusual gasp followed by a loud whine. I jumped out of the chair to see what happened and she explained that per her normal routine, when adding pepperoni slices to the salad, she always handed Max a few slices because he would always be waiting patiently at her feet. And when she pulled out a few slices for him, he wasn't there.
These things kill me.
Thanks again though.
