R.I.P - MAX growing old in video

We brought Max home from a local family, that owned a Bichon / Lhasa Apso Bitch, they bred with a local Shih Tzu Male. We think this was in 2006, which makes sense from the older pictures I found of him, and from the keen memory of my Eldest son. That makes Max 15 + Years old on the day of his death (Wednesday, December 8, 2021), may he rest in peace.

Max lived a solo life with his chosen family (Scotty's Family) until he was about 11 Yrs. old. Then, much to his surprise and chagrin, Jasper arrived. A rambunctious puppy and very active young dog, Jasper kept Max busy, and always on-guard, looking over his shoulder, never knowing when the next Max attack will take place.  Rest easy my friend, Jasper will catch up to you in a few years.

Max was a loveable, harmless soul who started his early life with us by getting run over by a big 4x4 Pick-up truck. He obviously survived, only some road rash and a hard knock on the noggin.

Max was a Mommys boy from day one, he sucked up to my wife from the second he met her. I remained number two in  his book; that was okay by me, I loved him just the same.
