Dear Readers and faithful friends,

After a number of years of wonderful blogging, this blog has effectively become dormant - except for occasional updates regarding my book, MAXDOG. I have left this blog as a legacy to my dog and a place of sanctuary where we can reflect upon his life. Take your time, peruse the pages spanning Max's 18 months in cyberspace. Feel refreshed and uplifted because his story is an amazing one of..."LIVING LIFE TO THE MAX!"
My activities have now moved on to my new blog entitled "LIVING LIFE TO THE MAX". Please join me there where you can read about my family and canine companions. I also invite you to visit MAXDOG's FANPAGE on FACEBOOK. You can follow the specific links by clicking below:

If you would like to follow me on a deeper, spiritual level, then I invite you to visit my more personal blog:

May God bless you and thank you for following me!

MAXDOG's CHRISTMAS TRIBUTE

Saturday, October 24, 2009

AWESOME BLOG AWARD NOMINATION

mmmWOOF!!!
GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
MAXDOG here...

Hello there all my wonderful furry friends! I hope you are all having a happy weekend. It's a bright sunny day here in SOUTH AFRICA and I have my whole family home with me again this weekend and we have wonderful news to share with you...

As you probably all know, we are also part of the

DOGS WITH BLOGS NETWORK

Well, last evening we were advised that we have been nominated by

MANGO

for the monthly

AWESOME BLOG AWARD!

Wow, what a privilege! Thank you, Mango, we are really honoured and humbled!

Tammy wrote a special cyber-note for MANGO:

"Dear big dude Mango! Thank you so much for nominating us for the Awesome blog award on 'Dogs with Blogs'. This nomination itself is such an honor! My boyfriend is so chuffed that he is uncontrollable at the moment! He's jumping on beds with mom and the household is generally sooooo excited! What you have done has turned my household into an exceptionally happy environment. Thank you so much, big doggie. You will always be one of our bestest friends. Lots-a-luv, Tammy"

Well, seeing that we are now NOMINATED for this month of October, I thought I'd remind you of what we all look like together:

(From L to R) TAMMY, TOFFEE, MAX (the one behind - that's me!) and TOMMY


Now, I'm thinking...is it polite to request and canvas for votes?
mmmm....?

OKAY!.....P-L-E-A-S-E vote for me!!!!
(Pretty please!)

You can cast your votes at
THE AWESOME BLOG AWARD SITE.
(But to make it fair, please visit the other doggie's site too!)


Lots of licks and thanks again to our buddy, MANGO

Max Dude! I am loving your family photo. How ever did your mom get everybody to sit so pretty. Good luck on DWB. That is always a very tough competition.

Slobbers,
Mango

D.K. Wall said...

We just voted for you (vote # 4). Best of luck in the competition. Quite an honor just for the nomination.

Heather and Kelly said...

Max! I would love to vote you for the Awesome blog award but I can't figure out how!
Is it something wrong with my computer or am I missing something?
When I click on the link that says vote, it just shows me something that there are 5 votes but there isn't any voting button.

Hoover said...

Ah Max,

You are such the diplomat. That is a very good looking group of doggies. I think I see a potential holiday card there!

Great family portrait! At least you all have the same color furs, so there are some "safe" colors for your pawrents to wear! We have white, black, and brown furs around here, so hair shows on on EVERYTHING!

Congrats on the nomination. That Mango sure is a great guy!

Way to go Maxdog! I love the photo of the quartet sitting so still all together. That's a photo to be treasured.

I'm heading over to vote for you!

Heather and Kelly said...

Thanks for responding Max!
I didn't know that I have to log in to vote, and I don't have an account. Is there a way I can get one?

Stella said...

Hey Max! Is it OK for me to say "I knew you when . . .?" You know you have my vote and I'm here to wish you a big win!

Kisses,
Stella

JD and Max said...

Hi Max - what a great family shot of you all. Female human is SO impressed - she's hard pressed to get us to sit still for a photo like that and there's only the TWO of us, he he!

Hey, we're not at ALL surprised by your nomination as we adore your blog. Although she doesn't manage to leave comments on every single one of your posts female human does read them all avidly. Your blog is one of the few that she 'makes time for', meaning, she'll make herself a big mug of tea before she settles down to really enjoy it! She says she really feels like she's experiencing your beautiful country when she's immersed in your blog and she's so pleased to have found you all!

Adorable photos of you by the way - we're going to practise that 'head on the arm of a chair' pose as female human thinks you look adorable!

Big schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.

How exciting! you most certainly deserve it! I am trying to figure out how to vote. I keep clicking on your name on the DWB voting page, but it doesn't seem to take it. I will keep trying and voting. Good luck. Thank you ever so much for caring about Africa. It very well could just be a rumor, but we will watch over Africa anyway! Take care!

What a wonderful way to spend a day... Having fun with family and friends... making new friends, AND helping others! (Those ducks DID look tasty...)

We will have to run over and vote for you on the DWB site. We are memebers there too! Congrats on the nomination!

It is HOT here too, in the summer and the husky's tend to be shaved. Mom even threatened us when it got up in the 110 area! The Country Corgis
