Ode to my sister Maxi ( for saturday the 26th)

It has been a year since you have been gone
I saw mom cry today
I know she she misses you oh so much
Each and every day
She glances up at the your photo
that is up upon the wall
She thinks no one is looking
then she walks away so tall
She then pets my on my head and says
I know you miss her too
Things are not the same around here
Together we can be blue

Jake, her son, will turn 8 that day
So for him she said she will try to smile
but behind the face of happiness
She is sad and full of sorrow
For you, Maxi, were her first dog
Something she had wanted since she was very small
A dog to call her very own
She would have taken them all

So 365 days since you have been gone
We have never stopped counting the days
We hope you are happy and running again
In and under the rainbows that you play
So to my sister, I love you so
And miss you with all my heart
I am thankful for the time we had
And so sorry when you had to part
With all of us here on Earth
Golden wags and your own special smile
We remember you in happy days
The walks we took for miles

A year has passed since you had to go
to my sister until we meet again
I will always love and miss you with all my heart
You are forever my best friend

we love you and miss you everyday Maxi
Love Kona and mommy

March

Well I survived another birthday. I turned 5 and dad said he was not sure if I would make it to one but look I am the good dog now. The family got me a hamburger from Mcdonalds for dinner (which I loved though Halo got one too and liked it so much she tried to eat mommy's finger) Then I got a few toys...guess who is playing with them and thinks they are hers.
This month is going to get tougher for mommy though. We get to celebrate my birthday and then Jake (my human little brother ) will turn 8 this month and that is the same day that my sister Maxi went to the rainbow bridge. Mommy is going to put a smile on her face for Jake though she is sad inside. I cant believe a year has gone by since my sister is gone. I still miss her alot. Fingers crossed to get through this month

for my sister

Please help me raise a glass my friends
And toast the ones that got their wings.
As the year finally comes to a close
A memory of all of them and their things.
I will miss my sister Maxi most of all
I am sure so does Leo's Parumph gang
Remembering Jessie,Quincy, and Mollie
Our memories as the New Year Rang.
But happiness came to some of you
A new furry sister or a brother
A wonderful part to your year
You will remember it as no other.
So cherich your family for what you have
They mean the most to us
A happier 2011 to you all
We love you thanks so much
Happier and wonderful new year
Kona, Halo and Joan
(and of course Maxi )

Monday 8/16

Well next week is Maxi's come home forever day. Mommy has been very sad because it will be 5 months also she has been gone. She never realized just how hard it would be but not a day goes by she doesnt look for her. Dad still says Hey Kona who said you would end up being the good dog. I was a pretty bad puppy. Halo is hanging in there. She is making up for lost puppy time and always wants to play. She scratched mommy's eye last week because mommy didnt get the toy fast enough. It was kinda like hey mom, I am waiting. I yelled at her because she hurt mom and said a bark would be better then her big ol' paw. She is still growing into her paws. Things are rough but hanging in there. Hope this finds all you well hugs and licks and a little wiggle too

yesterday

Yestarday was hard for me. It has been 3 months since Maxi is gone AND on top of it Halo was gone ALL DAY for her surgery. She was finally able to get fixed and was gone all day. I was a nervous wreck and when I heard the door I thought it was her. Then I started to think she was not coming back either I was so excited to see her I licked her whole face for like 10 minutes. She didnt go threw the door and never return. Halo hurt real bad last night and slept alot but today she is back to herself. What a day for me !

Changed

Well Grandma(thats mommys mom) came to visit this week from NY. She told mommy that I was a different dog without Maxi. She likes Halo but she is not the same as Maxi. That made mommy sad. A dog has a personality like a person each one is different in their own way. I am different without my best friend and have to get used to playing ALL the time. It was ok when I did it but I sure tell halo when I have had enough. I dont this grandma believes I am still a grieving pup maybe I will get back to my old self but for now I am just ME

weds

I have been a big sister for a whole week, I am still in charge but I think I like Halo more and more

Big paws to fill

To my sister, this time next week I will become a big sister. The new adopted dog will come home on weds. I have some big paws to fill you were the best sister, and I want the new dog to look up to me the way I looked up to you. I was only 8 weeks when I came home and you taught me to be the dog I am today. Halo is 10 months and has already had a house so hopefully will like her new home. Mom is such a good dog person that I think that any dog would be happy to live here. Watch over me and help me to be as good of a big sister as you were. I miss you every day I love you always

To maxi my best friend

You have been gone a month now.... I still miss you
So does mommy....alot
