SAYING GOODBYE TO MAX &

DIESEL

By GB (Grandpa Boat)

Once upon a time there were three little boys. They loved their dogs Max and Diesel.

2

Sometimes the boys would play

3

and sometimes they would

cuddle with their dogs.

Sometimes those dogs were a pest

and even annoying.

4

5

Sometimes Max and Diesel would fight with each

other.

6

But no matter what, those three little boys always loved those dogs.

And those two dogs always

loved those three little boys.

7

But dogs grow up faster than boys

and Max and Diesel got very old while the boys stayed

young.

8

When Max couldn’t climb the stairs or

would pee on the carpet and when Diesel couldn’t see and would

9

poop in a corner, the old dogs would feel so sorry for what

they did.

And when they couldn’t chase a

10

ball, play and wrestle with the three boys, they

just weren’t happy anymore.

11

Then one day Max and Diesel

knew it was time to go to Doggy

Heaven.

12

Max and Diesel were friends for a

long time and they wanted to

go together.So they did. They went together to Doggy Heaven

where they would be young again.

13

A place where they wouldn’t hurt anymore

and where they wouldn’t be blind.

A place where hurts and blindness

wouldn’t stop them from

14

jumping, chasing a ball or playing.

A place where they would never be sorry or sad.

15

16

The three boys were sad to see Max and Diesel leave, but they knew the dogs

would be happier in Heaven. And if Max and Diesel

were happy, then the boys could

17

try to be happy too.

18

So they looked up to the sky,

said goodbye to Max and Diesel,

hugged their parents and went

19

to play. And that is exactly what Max and Diesel

would have wanted.
