Big ol', Dumb, Sweet, Maddox

We had to say goodbye to Maddox shortly after Christmas. Maddox was well loved in our home but he had a hard time staying in our yard, even with the electric fence! He ignored the shocks and ran out of the yard at our neighborhood walkers and their pooches. He started to become aggressive towards all the neighborhood dogs. We found friends in the ward that loved him and were able to give him secluded property. Maddox was truly a man's dog! Look and them.

Drayden and Maddox my two thirsty Dog's! They did everything together.

Drayden called Maddox "My Best Friend."

They loved to wrestle together ( Well, Drayden did anyway!).

My girls laid on him like he was a giant teddy bear.

Once I was sitting on my grass in the front yard waiting for Brookie's bus to pull up. I had Maddox on a leash laying down beside me. One of my neighbors was walking by with a jug ( a jack russell terrior and pug mix). Maddox leapt up and tore after them. I flew down the grassy slope on my REAR, skiing down toward the asphault. I was getting really worried about what the asphault would feel like on my rear. When I reached the asphault I threw all my weight into my feet and dug my heels into the last inch of grass. I was immediatley thrown into a standing position and drug sliding on the asphault toward this 8 inch high jug. When we reached the dog, I thought Maddox was going to enjoy a very expensive snack! Instead they sniffed and played. To my horror Brookie's bus pulled up. Their heads were thrown back in laughter and tears were rolling down their cheeks. The bus driver still talks about it today!

Thank you Maddox for being part of our family as short as it was. We will forever have the memories!!
