I just want to say Hi and Thank You to all the wonderful people on this site who have helped me over the past year. I have not been on here for a long time as I find I have been too depressed and sad to be of any use to anyone here in a good way in order to help them. Im writing today to pay tribute to my Beautiful friend who has been gone one whole endless year today. I can not lie so have to say I have not come far in my grief. Im still totally devastated about Max and nothing I seem to do helps. I even sought counselling which is something I have never done over any loss and still seem to be getting nowhere. I have named a star in Canis Major after Max so he will never be forgotton. I did this for his first anniversary as it is most visible in January so I can see it every year in his memory.

Love always and forever Max.

I cant believe he is gone two weeks. Its as raw as yesterday. In fact I cant believe he i s gone at all. I still have not gotton any answers from my vet about what happened and now know I never will. Its making it harder as it was sudden and i feel I failed him in so many ways. I never expected anything would get easier but does anyone find it harder every day instead?..most of me is still trying desperatly and stupidly to say its not real but the thing about a little time is you are made to see the truth as each day passes and the nightmare doesnt end. I hate my house now , It does not feel like my home anymore. Its about all I can do to go from room to room as each and every place I look there is emptiness where such a short time ago the best friend I truly ever had was . How do i go from looking at him everywhere I went for over 10 years to him being just gone. My mind will not accept what it knows. The pain is so severe so many times a day sometimes just all day. Because I have a 3 year old son Im trying to pull myself together for him. I know Im not doing Max any favours either if he is able to see me like this. I wanted to say thank you to all the wonderful people I have met who have helped me through their own grief. I am so very grateful to them for helping me when they too are suffering. Rainbow Bridge has helped me an awful lot too. Its funny we, every single one of us from the start of time has begged for time to be turned back and to please let this not be happening and for it all to be a dream. We probably always will. If only it were possible.

I just wanted to say Thank You to every one who has helped me since Wednesday. I am still going out of my mind and feeling worse if that is possible. My husband and I have just set up a remberance at Rainbow Bridge. Thank You for telling me about it. It is a wonderful place and it has helped us a little.

Hello, My name is Lisa Quirke. I live in Cork City in Ireland. My beautiful friend Max Quirke Came home with me In July 1995 a few weeks after I got married. I had always wanted a dog and rushed to get one after my marriage. I was only 22 and had no children and he was the most magnificant puppy I have ever seen in my life. He was 6 weeks old. I fell in love with him the moment i saw him and that was it for me and my husband. We had nothing back then, no money and a rented house that was ancient and falling apart but we had so much love I cant ever describe. Every day was a joy with max. He was the happiest dog ive ever come across and nothing ever got him down. Though the years that followed we always went on holiday together and he was the whole of Ireland. We lived right next to a great field and we went there every day and he loved it. He lived inside always and slept on my bed almost every night of his life. After a few years we bought a bigger house and moved and he loved it there too. I still live at this home. Again it was very close to a great glen area for walks . We used to drive to a place called crosshaven on the coast which is only about 30 minutes drive a lot especially in the good weather. Those are the most precious memories of all the summers spent walking there and the joy it brought me. After 7 and a half years of marriage I had a chiild at last and was very worried my Max who was in essence the baby would get jealous even though he was so placid. I could not have been more wrong. He used to rest his head on my stomach when i was pregnant and listen to the bay move. If it was possible I loved him more then. When my son came home Max bonded with him and protected him from the very first day. They became great friends and as my son grew they became to partners in mischief. Max taught my son every thing he knows about getting what he wants. My son Michael is now three. I became pregnant again last May and loast the baby and Max hepled me through that hell more than I can ever explain. As always he was there for me and put his head on my lap to show mw his love and support when I was sad. I got pregnant again two months later and am no seven months along. I wondered as turned 10 last June would he mind another baby but I knew he would not and would be just as good again. Once more as I got bigger he rested his head on my stomach listening to the baby and I made sure after I had my first son that things never changed between us and we had just the same relationship as before . He was involved in everything as always as it should be. Last Saturday while on a stroll wiht my husband somwe thing strange happened to my max and he seemed to fall down slightly. I called the vet immediatly and was told it might have beena fit but he did not know the cause. I was to bring him to the surgery on Monday morning for tests. He was good all day Sunday and seemed almost fine. The Mondayt morning I knew he was not right and he went to the vet and was very shaky on his feet there. The vet tested his urine and said He felt that it was a kidney infection and was giving him small fit like occurance which he could control. I was given antibiotics and told to bring Max back yesterday Wednesday for more tests. He also gave me special food for kidney problems and said to try to get Max to eat that. He had a bad day on Monay and vomitted a lot but did not have any more fits. The vet said this was normal and the vommitting would stop after the antiboiotics took hold. On Tuesday he was improved again and did not vomit all day and was sprightly and normal but had a four small fits lasting maybe a second or two that I noticed during the day. I brought him in for the tests yesterday morning and he suddenly vomitted while waiting to be seen. As the nurse was cleaning this he got a fit but this time it was big and I knew it was serious. It went on for at least 30 seconds. I held him through it and then got him off the bench we were on to the floor were it went on ans then stopped. the vet witnessed all this and said that was a bad one and they had to take him in immediatly and find out the cause but that he woulds be ok. I hugged him and kissed him many times and told him how mush I loved him as I know how much he hates the vets and I did not want to leave him there. It seems when the brought him into the other room and set him down he went to asleep and never woke up. I dont understand what has happened to my beautiful boy. This is a dream and I want to wake up now. I brought him home and buried him in my back garden but I dont understand whats going on. I can not accept he is gone , He is everwhere and I cant cope. I cant think and I dont know what im doing. Im trying to keep it together for my son but am failing as My world has fallen down around me . Im angry , broken hearted , confused , lost , and shocked. Mostly I want to touch him like I did yesterday morning on my bed and kiss his beautiful warm face. He never once on the ten years slowed down in any way. He was the same as always.He never got old or grey or anything like that. He looked the same. Only last week a man asked me where I got my puppy. This was a regular thing. I got no answers from the vet. Does anyone no what happened to my baby. Can anyone help me to cope, I dont know what to do, What am I supposed to do now. Everything is all wrong, This is all wrong, Nothing is ever going to be the same again. I want him back and want to scream and scream at the injustice of it. Please help me if you can.
