Hi!

I'm still here, guys! Just wanted to say thank you for all of your emails, messages & prayers for Maverick. I was able to spend some quality time with him over the weekend, and although his health has really taken a turn for the worst, I'm so happy to have had a chance to give a proper goodbye. It's never easy losing a family member, especially the big fury ones with the huge hearts.... But I know he will be going to a better place soon, filled with the biggest milk bones in the world, a gigantic pond for him to swim in, all of the honey buns he can eat, and plenty of dogs to play and gallop in the fields with.

I love him so much.

Maverick is 13 years old...

...and I'm sad to say, he's not doing so well these days.

Sorry for the lack of posts these day, friends. I am spending the weekend with my buddy in Valdosta, hoping he'll pull another year for us... although, as a great dane, I already consider his run quite the miracle.

Taken below in 1999. Maverick was 3, I was 18.





We love him so much.

Maverick and Me

We were childhood friends growing up together in Valdosta. Both awkwardly tall, skinny, but oh-so-happy.

I go home to see my family in Valdosta every chance I get, and that includes seeing my 140 pound dane Maverick. He's a bit of a miracle dog at 13 years old. Every bit as athletic, happy and faithful to me.

Apologize for the lack of light & quality. Taken at a nearby park this past weekend.
