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

Friday, October 2, 2009

I AM A BLOG DOG!

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

(and it's time for some Friday Fun!)
Firstly, some pictures from our beautiful country!...

mmm....B-I-G Kitties!!!
---xXx---

We would like say a really big 'THANK YOU' to SHILOH & CHELSEA ,from
Danes down under, for their awesome award!
They are relatively new friends of ours, but have a really wonderful website! Please visit them.

THANK YOU BIG DANE BUDDIES!


---xXx---
Now, on to today's post!

(Kasha, Africa's mom was talking about her own relationship with her pooch in her blogpost today (Please visit her!) and she has inspired our blogpost today!)

---xXx---

Most of you will know that I am getting on in years,
but I am still extremely fit and ready for action!
I have to say, however, that my devotion is TOTALLY to my Mom!
She is my companion and I have served her all my life!!!
As a young dog, I was trained extensively and over the years, Mom has kept up with the refreshing of my commands.
But now, in my older years, Mom is starting to loose it and she gets me to do all sorts of ridiculous things!
But you know what?

...I will do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING for her!!!



I will lie on the floor next to her (and the other pooches) and snuggle up very close so that she can pat me and soak up my canine adoration.

NOW FOR THE RIDICULOUS STUFF!...
I will climb on tables, at her request, whilst she hides underneath to get that funny photo!
(Oh dear.....sigh!)

(Don't mind me if I bark in-between, Mom!)


Come out from under that table, Mom!!!

I adore Mom soooo much, I will climb up on old wood stumps and sit patiently (and pose) whilst she spends time with the flashy beast!
(Check out TAMMY's bored body language!)


I will show off my "STAY!" command,
while she puts distance between us and gets her 'landscape' shot


(Can you really see me in the distance?)



I will stop my play session, (to stare stupidly at a stick),for her to get a close-up picture of me!


and I will hide behind the bushes for her too!


I think this is how Mom 'TRAINS' me nowadays!

I am now a BLOG DOG!
.... for Mom
...and I am loving it!!!


Have a pawsome weekend,
all my furry friends!

Lots of licks

Aw, Max...you're a brilliant doggie model! I think you're so lucky to have a human who will do trainings and fun things with you - so many doggies just don't have that (even if they have lots of expensive toys and treats and beds and clothes) and it's very day coz all us doggies really want is for our humans to spend time doing things with us!

Dexter said...

I love the super Max on the table photos. You look totally smoochable. Yeah, we will do just about anything for our moms, huh?

Slobbers,

Martha said...

Hi Max
We agree you are looking totally adorable in your pics but of course we refuse to do any training whatsoever!
Some call us stubborn - we prefer 'independent thinkers' ourselves.
We just love the pics of the zebras and lions - you make our pics look so 'tame' somehow!!!
Have a great weekend.
love
Martha & Bailey xxx

Stella

the magic sleigh said...

Wooos Max! I am and older retired obedience dog, so I totally understand how we feel about our Moms and the things they make us do for that flashy box... sigh, it is for the blog she says.... She seem to think no one will look at the blog unless there are pictures of me!

BRUTUS said...

You look like such a good boy, Max!! Maybe you can give me some pointers... I can be a good obedience dog when I feel like it, but mom says i have "separation anxiety". I just always want to be with her - what's wrong with that?? OK, maybe I go a little overboard when she tries to leave, but I just want her to know she's the only human for me!!

Lorenza said...

Hi, Max!

I love her, but I am a wild girl!
Kisses and hugs

How Sam Sees It said...

Isn't wonderful to be a blog dog though? I have so many more pictures of my Sam, and yes, his obedience has gotten better because of it! He has to stay in odd spots, wear odd things on his head, and pose just right for those photos! You are a great dog, Max!

D.K. Wall said...

Do you ever drool on Mom during the table shoot?

Chelsea + Shiloh said...

Max you remind me of those celebrity models (Like Mr Beckham) who 'work that camera' your like a professional super model... I think Chelsea has me better trained, she calls the shots prancing and a dancing and I have to hope I catch her with the camera... mmm maybe she should glimpse at this post...

Glad you liked the award... this is one of the best blogs Ive enjoyed in a long time!

Cloud the Wonder Dog said...

Oh Max, what a great post! I do just about anything fur my mom, too! Aren't moms the BEST?!?!!

Luv,
Cloud
