I was out putting up flyers on each and every door when I found a woman who said, "Oh! I took him to the emergency clinic last night!"
Fuckers. I called them today and the receptionist said he wasn't there. The woman pre-paid $900.00 to take care of his expenses, which I promptly paid for. (It wasn't $900, but I don't know what the damage is.)
Maxx already wants to go outside. He's never going out AGAIN.
Whew. Thanks again for everyone's good thoughts. I'm just so relieved that he was somewhere safe.
PS. I'd post a pitcher, but it would probably scare everybody. :-)

Where was he found and how's he doing? How's flg doing,too?
The genorosity of that woman who paid the 900$ is absolutly amazing. She deserves a huge flower bouquet, plushynurse. And chocolate too!
I'm sooooo releived. I hope MAx is staying IN FOREVER now!

Oh such good news! Your neighbor is a GOOD PERSON.
(and my cat just got an extra hug)
Get some rest, 4LG.
He must be punished with extra lovin'.
Peace.
Thank the FSM, my friend. Thank the FSM.

Oh, I'm so glad for you both! And so very many thanks to the kindly stranger. I've done what she did and know that it comes back around. Good on her and good on you, for keeping up hope. You're never getting away now, Maxx. CLamp on tight, 4LG!

I KNEW IT!!! Maxxie, love, you are so never ever going out again. Lookit how many people you bent outa shape! Thank you, 4LG, for update. You poor thing, you must've been frantic, posting at all hours of the AM. Your neighbour is a good person. Though I can't help wondering why she took him to the clinic and not straight home to you. His little mouf must've been bleeding again, poor baby. Now I can sleep. You two get some sleep too.
Huzzah! I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but I'm awfully glad he's back again.
Please post a picture. Maxx is always beautiful, no matter how he looks on the outside. I'm just so glad he's home.
...go ahead. Post a picture. Reality can't live up to our fears.
I'm glad Maxx found an advocate.
I'm glad you have Maxx.
FLG, the good news of Maxx returning home today is THE BEST birthday present I have EVER gotten!
Happy Birthday Chris!

GLORY HALLELULAH...I WAS TOO AFRAID TO HOPE...NOW I CAN SAY IT,WANTED TO TELL YOU LAST YEAR...PLEAZEEEEEE dont let him out anymore...treats and toys ....EEEE..I WAS SICK ALL DAY WITH WORRY .......sittenhappy
Or if he must go out, let it be on a no-slip leash and harness, or carried in arms. With leash and harness at the same time. Sort of a belt-and-suspenders deal. Gads, I'm so happy, I just pinched Gojira. Now she's all mad at me.
PS: I forgot to say - only post a Maxx pitcher if it's OK with him. Otherwise, I can live on Maxx memories. Oh, and the fambly here demands to know exactly what happened (rude buggers that they are), and how Maxx ended up in emergency and how you got him back. I guess I annoyed everyone with my whining. Sorry 'bout dat.
Thank the Gods he has come home!
The neighbor lady is a real GODDESS!
Now you know where to look the next time he makes a break for it...and ya know he will.
Oh, thank God, Allah & Buddha! Whew. Poor baby.
I'm so glad he's back.
Glory! Hallelujah! The prodigal has come home.
Many hugs to you and to Maxx, and blessings to the lovely lady who took him in to get more care than she could give.
sweet mercy.

let Maxx tell you what is what
you all will be ok, you will be fine
look.
he is going to have to say goodbye
as are you.

That's really great, 4legs. However much time he has left, you deserve to spend it together.
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Words fail.
The best news. Yay!!!

Maxx's Big Adventure had me bummed out all day.
So what exactly did they do at the emergency clinic?
Whew! Great news!
maintaining his ability to land on his feet, anyway. Happy for you both.

That's wonderful news! :) Your neighbour is a really nice person, to put up $900 just like that.

It turned out to be $592, and I had the clinic credit her credit card back- I covered the tab. Ouch.
Are donations accepted?
Fourlegs,
I just made a donation. All the best to you and Maxx.
Hurray! Hurray! A great New Year gift for us all.... Be sure to tell your neighbor how much your friends appreciate her...
Oh, Maxxie! You scared us -- no more of that now, we love you and need you home and safe!
Prayers do help, they surely do!
Well, I did tell you originally that he was using up one of his lives.
So happy he's home, and what a nice neighbor you have!!
Does Maxx have a ID collar or is that not a good idea because of the tumor?
Pie, he has a collar, but his name tag had fallen off, and I hadn't replaced it because it would bounce against his chin.
I'm getting him a new one for sure now.
done.
Been there, more than once.
Years ago my landlord in NYC, who was not a dog lover kind of guy,once took my dog to the vet after an awful emergency in my absence. acts like that are the work of angels or at the very least, a benevolent universe, and we have to keep paying it forward.
best of luck.

4LG, he doesn't need a new name tag now that he's home and safe and never ever allowed outside without you by his side!
