I read your post on another thread. And you included it was a joke and I did not take offense. But I doubt he would be rendered for food and glue. Even my mare I put down last month was buried due to the love I had for her and the service over 28 years she provided to me.

Well three days before Thanksgiving, Maxx, the mutt, passed away at 16 years old.

Since my wife passed in 2000 he has basically been my best friend and companion.

I admit I cried, a few times, quite a bit.

But he was an animal that was BY MY SIDE. Not some animal that the closest I ever got to was a ten second video clip on the nightly news or a couple pics in Sports Illustrated.

And I didn't start multiple threads about him, as if he were the reincarnation of Alexander the Great or something.

It just seemed as though there were a few Freepers who were suicidal over it or something, really carrying it way over the line.

No doubt the animal could have been a champion. No doubt his time was unfairly cut short.

Happens to horses. Happens to humans. My wife was 41 years old.

Life goes on.
