Brian, I have not been responding to your e-mails due to my depression. Yes, Max had to be put down. Max tried to do his best, however, we both knew that it was time and he blessed me with 9 years and two months of sheer HAPPINESS. I miss him so very much.... Give me a chance to heal and Ill get back to you.... Much Love from your friends in New York... Love to MOLLY and her best friend Brian Riddle... Thanks for all of your continuing support thru our time of need.
