GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!
MAXDOG here...
The picture above depicts that LIFE IS ABOUT...
WISDOM!
---xXx---
Dear Friends
I am contemplative today, so I would like to share with you what we,
THE MAXDOG PACK,
think life is all about.
(These are old pictures, but I'm sure you'll get the idea)
But our lives have also been about (In no particular order):
WORKING...
OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN ABOUT...
SHELTER AND PROTECTION...
...SAYING: "THANK YOU!"...
...RESTRAINT...
...AND MORE RESTRAINT...
IT'S ABOUT MAKING PUPPIES...(2004?)
LIFE HAS DEFINITELY BEEN ABOUT PLAYING...
...AND MORE PLAYING...
...AND EVEN MORE PLAYING...
IT'S ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS...
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING...
...AND HEALTH...
IT'S ABOUT GENTLENESS...
...AND HAVING FUN!...
IT'S ABOUT RECEIVING LOVE AND GIVING LOVE...
IT'S ABOUT BEING OBEDIENT...
OF COURSE IT'S ABOUT FOOD!...
IT'S ABOUT FAITH, PHILOSOPHY AND THINKING...
IT'S ABOUT EXPLORING NEW THINGS...
IT'S ABOUT EXERCISING...
IT'S ABOUT WELCOMING FRIENDS ...
HOWEVER AT THIS MOMENT IN MY OWN LIFE IT IS MOSTLY ABOUT...SLEEPING AND RESTING...
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE AN SEIZE THE DAY!
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR LIFE AN SEIZE THE DAY!

Hi Max. I believe that's what life is about too. What a journey you have taken all of us through. We'll be waiting for your next post on Monday. Have a great lazy sunday :)
Wow Max, This was a super duper tutorial on life. Thank you so much for the accompanying photos too. If you were in class we'd give you an A+!!

That philosophy of life pretty much covers all the bases. You could call it a life worth living.
we can learn a lot about living from our dogs!

Truly good lives, full of meaning and richness and love.

My favorite post ever, you are so right Max. Excellent reminders for all of us.
So much restraint is demanded of good doggie for sure and what good doggie you all are. Very nice post. Have a wonderful Sunday and see you Monday!
You have lived a wonderful and love-filled life, Max. Thanks for sharing along with the rest of your pack all your wisdom about life. Please rest well and we will see you on Monday.

Except for the making puppies, we have experienced all of those things and so agree! Great post. Enjoy your weekend.

You guys have a great outlook on life and living in the moment...I hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing weekend together filled with love and happiness in each moment shared.
Max,
I agree whole-heartedly with your ideas on what life is all about. You're part of a wonderful and loving family, who knows what's important.
BTW, my dog R says that he would've gone for that pizza!
Who had puppies? Was it Tammy? Or were you the dad before Tammy's time?
Enjoy your Sunday! Carpe Diem!
Max, spend time with your family and your 'girls' this weekend. Enjoy their love and hopefully some sunshine. You, dear friend, will remain held close to my heart.♥

What a Grand life you have had.
(You remind me so much of my beloved Sandra Dee. She past away at the very old age .. for a big dog .. of 14. And even at that age, I was shocked when it happened)
Thank you for sharing the wisdom. Great post. :) Now go seize the day yourself and have a wonderful day off. Enjoy and we'll see you when you get back.

Dear Max....I don't know many humans who have live life to the fullest as you have sweet, beautiful friend. While out and about today, I looked across from where I was snappy pictures....lo and behold dear Max I thought it was you. But no it was your twin who lives here in Raleigh, NC.
I said to my husband that looks just like Max Dog IN S.A. He was happily standing in his yard wagging is beautiful fluffy tail with that million dollar Golden smile on is face. Max dear I smiled back at him with thoughts of you.

Oh Max! This is just the most wonderful, wonderful post! We loved it. You should publish a book - even just a simple picture book - with these photos & captions. It would be a lovely legacy & memory of you.

Or, as my mom says, "Carpe Dogem" -- seize the dog!! :)

Hi Max! Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing with us about life! Have a great weekend!!
Cheers,
Maxx
Max you are not only beautiful on the inside and outside, but you are also furry wise! Purrs and hugs.
Thanks for continuing to share - it's inspiring. Max certainly can teach us a lot about acceptance.
If Max is in discomfort, there's something simple you can do to ease it for him. (And please disregard this if it goes against anything for you - I just wanted to share from my heart to yours). Rub your hands together and hold them over (above) the area of his distended belly, then move them slowly in counterclockwise circles. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to feel the tumor in his energy field. Clearing the congestion in the energy will relieve some of the pressure.
All good wishes to you and the pack.

Oh Max you are so beautiful. Hope you are resting well. Thinking of you.
As always Max we just love you post! Hang in there Max!
I agree with Charlie's Mom,
"Carpe Dogem"
Hugs, Tessa
Max!
I know your life is full of great things! Thanks for sharing them!
Enjoy your day off from blogging.
We will see you next monday!
Take care
Kisses and hugs

You are such a good teacher.
I want to tell you a secret.
When I grow up (and even though I am a little girl) I want to be just like you. I want to have an outlook on life as you do.
I know its all teamwork- but I listen to what you say.
Have a nice family time together.
Please keep telling me your storys.
I will keep snuggled close
love

You know, Max, you and your Mama haven't been the only ones to have had these days of Grace... All of us that read your blog have been so blessed through our journey along this road with you. You have touched ALL of our lives and taught us so many things! No wonder we love you both and continue to do what we can to uplift your spirits for you have become a big part of our hearts, too!
