Dear Friends from around the globe...
I am quite speechless!
This morning, when I logged in to my blog there was a stripe of

I have spent most of the day looking at and relishing the multitude of blogposts where bloggers have invited me on a personal visit to their countries and homes.
It has all happened in secret and was only exposed to me this morning!

Your stories are OUTSTANDING and your efforts IMMENSE!!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I feel the hand of the blog-world covering me in love. It is incredibly humbling and uplifting to be showered in all this goodwill. So when I look out at the sky and see this...
...I feel the warmth coming from afar...

We have been trying to keep a link list on our blog up to date as well, and keep finding new ones. It was an honor to be a very small part of the project. The dog blog world continues to amaze me.
Happy Valentines Day - from our hearts.
Happy Valentines Day Max and family!

How incredible to see all the love and support. It's really beautiful.
Max, we learned about you several days ago and have been purring for you ever since. Our human (who we call mamabug) is praying for you and for all those that love you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh Max...
Many of the participants in your World Tour have expressed that this is the best Valentine's Day ever...indeed it is!
Love is surrounding us...
And that's comforting...
Thanks for helping Gillie out on our DATE...I could never have carried that Irish lad back to the plane...Lakeland smoothies proved too much for the dear boy...
Have to go help daddy get the snow and ice off the roof...we awakened to WATER in the house...yeesch...

Enjoy the rest of your visits and all the memories of them at your own pace. They are your memories forever.

Hi, Max!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I feel so bad I did not know about your Tour and I could not invite you to visit my city!
But then I thought it was better because very bad things are happening here and I don't want to stress you!
I love you Max and you are in my mind and prayers all day long!
I am happy to know you had a pain-free day!
Take care
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Hi Max
Just to say it was great to see you in Scotland. How's the head doing, old boy? I must say that if I had read all the other blogs before you arrived, and had realised how much ice-cream and other rich eatables you had already consumed on your travels, I might have suggested we go a little easier on the Single Malt.
One never learns, eh?
Cheers, H.
This has been a special Valentine's Day for us all, spreading love all over!
We love you Max and remember:
Good friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
Licks and sniffs,
Zack, Sassy and Buddy
Love you sweet Max! There are so many big hearts around the world thinking about you. It was a pleasure to be part of your World Tour.
Glad to hear you are doing ok. Will keep you in our thoughts.
Happy Valentine's Day my friend!!!
Hugs and snaggle-tooth kisses,
Sierra Rose
We are sending you red heart filled kitty kisses MaxDog
Happy Valentines!

I hope all that travel from blog to blog didn't wear you out!
I'm going to do a post tomorrow about how much I love and appreciate my little chi's tomorrow in honor of Max. Would it be ok if I used his picture? I wanted to ask first just in case you didn't agree.
Happy Valentine's Day, Max!
This was an incredoble journey that has touched our life - as you have Max and your mom.
I wanted to be a part of this, but I could not get it together.
Please know I was there in spirit.
And yes Max and I floated into that sky on your boggy in our magic bubbles - and we touched the stars, just as you, your outlook on life, and life you share has touched me.
I love you
forever and a day

We are so elated that we were able to be even a small part of Max's World Tour - it brought us great joy to share some time with your beautiful boy Max. He and you have been an inspiration to us since the day we were introduced to your blog. We hold our hands and paws up for Max to have many more wonderful days with you.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Woos, Phantom and Thunder
Ciao bello Max!

Tanti baci!

Dear Max, it is humbling to me to see all the love pouring in to you. The blogging community is unbelievable and unless your in it, I don't think people understand it. Max, you are loved all of the world my dear friend!

Max, please tell your Mom I'm way behind reading all the posts and I hope to catch up on her book this week. I miss reading it!!
Happy Valentine's Day Max - we are so happy you are being loved world wide :)
Max - you are in my thoughts and prayers from this day forward. You are a beautiful, fearless special friend. Ear scritches and tummy rubs. :)
our prayers and thoughts are with you friend!
Everybody did an amazing job! There must be some loop somewhere that I'm out of because I didn't hear about it either. If I had, I would have had a guest appearance from Max on the Sunday Awards and Meme Show!
Max, the love I feel when I come to your blog is so amazing. We just wanted to wish you the Best Happiest Valentine's Day ever. You deserve it. We are glad you are pain-free and eating your food. Josie is sending lots of licks and love to you and MUCH MUCH LOVE! We will work on putting together a Max Tour of our area to share with you. Woof Soon!
Hi Max! Have a great Valentine's Day! You are and always will be in our thoughts and prayers! Enjoy life and stay pawsitive!!
Cheers,
Max and Mommy
Oh Max, how truly loved you are! We are keeping you in our thoughts as well and hoping that you have many more days and special times with your loving family.
Lots of love,
Nala
Max,
May your heart rest on a pillow of love, today and for many more days to come
We were out of town this weekend most of both days, only coming home to sleep, so we missed all that was going on, but you were in our thoughts and prayers the whole time, wherever we were. We will enjoy catching up on all the love shared on your World Tour! The Country Corgis and their Mom/Grammy
Dearest Max,
Hello from Alabama! Our Mom knows many of your blogging friends, but she hasn't had time to visit blogs lately so we just learned about you from River. You are a rare and precious gift to the dog blog community, Max. Sometimes the best things in life come when you least expect them. We feel privileged to meet you and your family and have the opportunity to spend time with you. Your Mom is indeed a gifted writer; one that will touch the very spirit of those who read her words. Our Mom visited her blog and was overcome with tears as she felt your Mothers love for you radiate from the page. We are pleased to hear you are eating, resting, and comfortable. We feel sure that it brings your Mom great comfort that you are near and have this time together. If you don't mind, Max, we would like to share the words of Helen Steiner Rice with your Mom - for you. You are blessed to have one another, but then, God doesn't make mistakes.
A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
Thinking of you. Many blessings, The Gang @ Dog Blog For Five Dogs
darling Max, i'm inconsolable as you've missed me *sob sob* and i'm sooooo hurt i couldn't sleep for so many days *sob sob*
