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!

I always marvel at the spirit and strength that keeps them (and us) going! Max's journey has reminded me of a senior Golden that left us in September. Several vets said he would only be with us for a few months because of the health issues. He defied all expectations when he lived for 2 years. Each day he was with us was truly a gift. I never took any small moment for granted and I was always thankful for the "one more day" --Which is just as you and all of us are doing with Max.

And, we thank God that you have made the choice to share your miracle with all of us. Our world bears witness to so much pain and despair - we need stories like Max's to lift our spirits and to show us that tucked into small corners there are diamonds.

ocmist said...

Another beautiful story told with the pictures of our Golden Max shining the light on his friends... He truly is an example of Letsatsi!

We, too, are praising God for the miracle of the blessings He is giving to Max and your family, and through you, to us! Barks and Butt Wiggles from all of us Corgis to you!

Hi Max and Maxmom, so glad to hear Max is eating again. Im so thankful that Max is in his 32nd day of Grace. Again such a wonderful Blog to read. I get so much enjoyment out of visiting your site. I also know you can't always get back to everyone.Please know we understand. But having said that..I was glad to see you had visit'd us guys. Oh yeah, I have 5 indoor cats, one stray cat that Im trying to humanize right now. Hes a cutie. Black and White with the cutest little face. And I also feed my neighbors Fat Cat Clarkie. I told his mom so she does not mind. He likes my food better. Im going to take more pictures of Clarkie for my site.
Im tickled that Max has a birthday tomorrow. Us Stamps kitties will be sure to come by and visit. We are so Thankful for this day and that Max will celebrate his 10th Birthday tomorrow. Max You Are The Best Dog in the whole world right now. We Love You and your siblings very much.

I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while. Max looks as lovely as ever. It's wonderful to see him out and about with his furry pals! Please extend warm hugs and kisses to him (and keep a few for yourself; you can use a few, too, I'm sure!). :)
