Max: April 1997- August 24, 2012

It is always hard to see a pet suffer, and our 15 year old cat was suffering from kidney failure.  A fatal and common problem with older cats.  We could have let him die a long and agonizing natural death at home, but we decided that that was a cruel thing to do.  Today we had our vet "put him to sleep."  We then brought the body home and buried him in the flower garden next to the tiny frog pond.  He would spend hours trying to catch a green frog from that little spot of water -- sometime succeeding, but most the time failing. Now he can chase them forever.  He will be missed.

Max at his best.
