Hello there to all our furFriends and furMoms/Dads across the globe!
It is the most wonderful early Autumn day here in
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA!!!
...and our own personal doggie environment is also so beautiful ...
The sun is shining, the grass is green and our pool is sparkling blue at the moment. Mom spends a lot of time ensuring that it is clean and attractive!
I just love our garden!
Even though it is early Autumn, there is still a lot happening outside.
Every morning before dawn the Hadedah Ibisis come to visit. I am sure that it is my personal job to chase them away! I don't like them at all, but Mom says that they are very beautiful and useful to eradicate snails in our garden...
They look like ducks to me and of course and I was bred to retrieve ducks!!!
...no more said!...
Once I have eliminated them, I like to lie on the grass and soak up the sun!...
The flowers in our garden haven't quite realised that winter is approaching...
This shrub (below) was planted by our girls when they were small. We planted it long ago when one of our hamsters died. We call it "Fluffy's bush" and it has fruit on it at the moment....
...which change into beautiful pink flowers...
Some plants just land up in our garden without us planting them...
...Like this gem squash plant which has deserted the flower bed and is now climbing up with tree...
Some living things struggle on...no matter what!!!
MAXDOG likes his special spot too...
in the shady corner of the garden...
It is his personal spot where he sometimes goes to think and sleep...
Today is MAXDOG's 47th Day of Grace!!!
(Mom says that "49" is a winning number!
...well at least it was in the Iditarod this year!...
...so we hope to celebrate "49" on Saturday)
Anyway, the little fluffballs...
TOFFEE and TOMMY
like to simply watch the world from our patio.
Toffee's paw is much better, but he will have it checked out tomorrow at the Vet.
Whilst all the males 'rest', I like to make full use of the sunshine!!!
Okay...if you can't beat them...then join them!
I think I'll rest too!
Wishing everyone a wonderful, thankful Thursday.
We are happy to be alive and all still together!

Yoor garden is absolutely beautiful. We are glad that Maxdog is able to enjoy it ~ and wish him many more quality days.
Smoochies.
Tammy girl...you have a beautiful garden and pool. I am praising GOD Maxx is on his 47th day of grace. We continue to pray for him. It looks like he has a very special spot, indeed.
Hugs, andrea
You indeed have a beautiful spot that's full of life and love too!! Thank-you for sharing it with us and Max's 47th day!! I do think that "49" sounds like a good goal, but more beyond that sounds even better! :-))
Wooos Tammy Girl! I like woo garden, very pretty, we have some similar Ibis which we like to chase off too, but ours are white.... Pretty flowers, but even prettier woo! I am glad to see the King is feeling better, Woos and puppy kisses to Max Dog!

Tammy, your fall looks like our summer☺ We hope that Max celebrates 49 days of grace times TEN!
You had mist in the morning and sun during the day. We woke up to 40 mile an hour winds (woke us up during the middle of the night) and temps of 40 degrees F. The world is an amazing place, isn't it☺
Sending much love to ALL of you, even those little puffs with big ♥s.
Tammy, your yard is Most Beautiful and so are you! I likes those birdies but mostly cuz I can see how much fun they would be to chase!

Looking at the photos it's clear that piece of shady lawn will be forever Max's special spot.
What a beautiful backyard, we can understand why everyone likes to be out there.
Max, you go boy....
Love & Licks

Thank you so much, Tammy, for sharing your lovely garden with us!
We're rooting for 49 and beyond, Max!

Tommy and everyone at The Poupounette
Thanks for sharing photos of your beautiful yard and beautiful dogs. I love MAXdog's special spot in the shade.
Tammy,
You sure have a beautiful garden, with comfy green grass for you and Max to lie back in luxury. Shade or sun, you have your choice. You're a very lucky girl. I'm glad that those flowers are still blooming for you!
I'm also so happy that MaxDog is enjoying his wonderful days in the garden with you nearby!
BTW, I loved the training videos of your boyfriend Max. He's a very smart boy and incredibly well trained!
We're thinking of you.
Tammy, we're extremely jealous of your personal pooch space! It's beautiful. AND... you have your own snail eater. Mom wants one of those! Otherwise, Stella eats the snail then comes back in the house wantin' a kiss. Ewww!
Love,
Gunther
Your garden is so beautiful! I love the ibis - what an interesting looking bird! ...and Tammy looks so happy in the grass!
Sam
Tammy, you guys have the most beawooootiful backyard! It's just perfect, like all of wooooo!
There is nothing better than relaxing and soaking up the sun!
Enjoy your wonderful Thursday together! We lubbing you guys a lot!
Max, keep resting well dear boy! Besides, you have the primo spot!
Wags and Woofs,
Mack and Mia
Lovely lazy late summer days... I shared many of these pics with my hubby over coffee while he did his morning Suduku puzzle. Love the birds and pool. We could never have an in-ground pool in Anchorage, although there are some homes here with pools built indoors! All your pups look very happy... the Dog Days of late summer. Hugs and Licks to you all xoxo
Oh your yard is beautiful. Tammy and MAX are so beautiful/handsome. Do you brush them constantly? Speedbump is part golden and part great perynees so she's got lots of hair. I've always admired how well they are groomed.
Your flowers are stunning. My favorite today is the pink on in the foreground of Tammy's picture.
So glad to hear of Toffee's paw progress. Hope he gets a good report tomorrow.
We could almost feel that soft green grass beneath our feet. Aren't changing seasons wonderful? Especially when you take the time to really really enjoy them.
Thank you for sharing, Tammy.
Love
Jake and Fergi xxoo
Very good post, Tammy! We always like to wish Max a Happy 47th Day of Grace, will you pass it on to him, please?
You all look comfy and happy and for that we are glad.
Kisses,
Stella

We are glad that Toffee's foot is getting along and that Max still enjoys the outdoors.

Wow, I am always amazed at your blogs! The Ibisis is beautiful. I have tiny wild finchs in my yard, and like to chase them away when I go outside. The flowers are so beautiful, I like smelling pretty things.
Max's personal spot in the yard looks so very lush. I think that Max looks better, more relaxed.
Thank you so much for the wonderful post Miss Tammy. We sure did enjoy it.
Hugs, Tessa

Thanks for a nice post Tammy. All that sunshine and so many beautiful flowers. You wouldn't believe how dull and grey it is here today in Aberdeen. Tell Max that if it's shade he likes, then Scotland has plenty to offer!
Cheers, Gail.
Hi Tammy! You have a beautiful yard and garden to spend time in - we think the sun would be fun to sleep in out there!
Sending purrs and prayers for Max!
Tammy, those are great rollin round in the sunshine/grass piktures!! Glad you guys still have lovely weather! Give your brother a kiss for me!
We thoroughly enjoyed that post - Tammy! You can guess which picture the NSLM loved the most! That wonderful yellow flower! That made his smile one of his great big happy smiles!
Glad you all had a lovely Thursday and that Max is doing so well on his 47th day of grace!
lots of love
Clive and the NSLM
Your yard is so beautiful! I should have taken better care of my back yard. I don't ever water it or anything. It's mostly weeds now. My little chi's run around back there and seem to enjoy it so I just don't ever worry about it. I do try to keep the front looking nice. My neighbor is nice too because usually mows the front for me and has also sprayed the weeds for me.
I love that picture of Tommy and Toffee together. Wish we heard more about Tommy.
Still keeping Max in my nightly prayers! I just know in my heart that he'll make it to Day #49 and beyond! I know I've never met him but I sure do love him!
Glad to see you having a grace-filled, wonderful day sweetie.
Hi Tammy & Maxdog and other fur siblings!
Sorry I haven't been around lately...this work thing that mom does is just getting in the way of my blogging. I'm glad to see that things are still going well at your household and that Max is hanging in there..you look good Max. Relax and enjoy the autumn days.

Dear fluff balls, Tammy and Max
thank you for letting us peek at your autumn.
Sometimes the season do not want to leave.
That is what I am feeling in the wind that blows my ears, and these rain drop that drip on my nose. Sometimes they come in slowly so we can get aquaninted and tell us know to be afraid. And sometimes they leave slowly so we will not miss them so much.
I think yout autumn is tip toeing in softly to tell all of you to not be afraid.
love
tweedles
Tammy, it was great to see all the beautiful things you had to share with us! Those flowers are just gorgeous!
Mom said she'd go hunting ducks and have duck dinner, but she's not sure about Ibis dinner... Still, I'd bet they would be fun to chase.
Say Hi to Max for us, and know that you are all in our thoughts! The CCC
I am glad it's Spring here! We are having so much rain though!
Your flowers are beautiful!
