We adopted Max when he was three years old, he's now fourteen. He was diagnosed with a meningeoma in December and is scheduled to undergo a craniotomy on Tuesday, January 27th.

Max isn't one for half measures. He's an all-or-nothing kind of guy, in stark contrast to his parents who are both cautious and conservative when it comes to risk-taking. We believe in insurance, emergency preparedness, and read reviews not only on large purchases but small ones before we purchase as well. Obviously, signing our beloved beagle up for brain surgery is unsettling for the likes of us.

This guy has been through some extreme and unusual episodes, and somehow he always ended up on his feet looking for his next snack. We know he can't do this forever, but we're sure that he's not done with life yet. And if brain surgery is what it takes for him to get to keep getting more snacks, we're confident he'd consider that a fair trade.
