Video tribute to Max

Happy Memorial Day! During moms free time last week, she worked on dis video that shows the progression of Max's portrait, and it ended up turning into a tribute to Max, his mom, and the love that surrounds the pet blogging community.

(If you want to see it in High Definition, click on the link to go to the video page.)

Much love from Cloud and his mom!

What a wonderful gift of love for Maxmom-what a wonderful friend you are! It made me tear up just watching. This is something she will treasure forever. I only wish I had more photos of my beloved Sadie who passed Christmas night-I would have made one for her.
Thanks for doing this and sharing it with us.
Hugs to Cloud and Kathleen!

Dear Kathleen
If you don't mind, I would like to repeat my email to you in this comment form:

My dearest Kathleen
You have brought me to tears, yet again! Tears of sadness, tears of healing, tears of memory and tears of love! I just can't believe your ability to both read a soul and to touch a soul - a medium if you like - to celebrate a
connection: A connection between my Max and Me: a connection between us and YOU: a connection between YOU and the rest of the world: and then the full circle: MAX...ME...YOU..THE WORLD...MAX...etc etc.

Are you aware of just how strong your talent is?

I just thank God for your gift and you spirit of generosity: Your ability to create this loving network simply by your blessed talent. You have a special, special gift!...and I am so, so humbled to have been on the
receiving end of this amazing gift.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute, thank you again for my 'MAX-TERPIECE' and thank you for being my friend. I love you although I have never met you
in person. The latter isn't a problem, because I have met your soul...and how much the richer I am for this.

With enormous love,
Caryl

Your video is a wonderful gift to MaxMom and lovely tribute to Max. I really enjoyed seeing the different stages of your painting, and how his eyes shone through each stage. Looking into the eyes of any being is a small window into their soul, and you have allowed us to look clearly into Max’s eyes, and see the love that MaxMom saw. You are so talented, and your creativity has touched so many people around the world who love and miss Max too.

Hi Cloud and Cloud's mom! My mom and me just saw this over on Maxmom's bloggie and we wanted to let you know how special we think you are for everything you've done for Maxmom. If we could reach through the computer screen, we'd give you a big hug and a lick! (Just to clarify - it would be me giving you the lick, not mom.)

Wiggles & Wags,

We know that you have deeply touched the sorrowful heart of Maxmom. Because she is our dear friend, we thank you very, very much.

Let freedom ring from our mountain-tops to our valleys and from coast to coast. Let us NEVER forget the sacrifice of those who came before us, and those who serve now, so we may enjoy the freedoms of our beautiful country!

Kathleen that is beautiful. I've said this before and I'm sure I will say it again, I love watching your paintings come to life like that. I agree wholeheartedly with Maxmom about your talents. Those who have never been able to hold and touch one of your magnificent paintings will never understand the beauty and the love you put into them. Thank you for being a wonderful person. You have touched us all with your love for Max and his mom.
