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!

Dear MaxDog - every time Mummy and I visit your blog, we stop to admire you swimming in the pool. It just looks so cool! Mummy is very impressed with the quilting star blocks! I admire you lying so quiet whilst your Mummy use you as part of her display LOL

I am happy to know that you are still faring well and doing your usual doggy things. You remain in our prayers. Never give up, dearest Friend!

Woof
Paxton & Mummy Shirley

Wooos Max! I think Mum is trying to tell woo something, but I am not sure what, they are hard to figure out sometimes, maybe she needs a shredder for all of those blocks??

Oh, that is going to be one beautiful quilt when it is done. Our Mom would love to know how to do quilting. The squares are very nice decorations for the pups - all stars in our eyes:)

Beautiful quilt pieces and beautiful Maxx! Hope you are doing well, Maxx. Thinking about both you and Mom.
Blessings, andrea

KB said...

Max - You're a saint. My dogs would never lie still for such a thing! In fact, my younger one, R, would have shredded all of them in the blink of an eye.

I initially thought that it was photoshopped but then I saw the shadows of the squares - and I realized that it was real.

Here's to you MaxDog!

The Adventures of the LLB Gang said...

What patient pups you 2 are!

What a great picture! I had to look twice and still almost missed Max in the second shot!

Ms. ~K said...

Oh Max Mom, You are so clever!
And Tammy and Max are beautiful!
Hugs and belly rubs to all,
Kit

Scout and Freyja said...

Just goes to show you - a nap is MUCH more imPAWtant than your public persona when you need a snooze!

Stella said...

The blue and white quilt is one of my Mom's favorites . . .beautiful.

Those are beautiful pups too that you talked into posing for you.

Happy 46th day of Grace, Max, and wishes for many, many more!

Kisses,
Stella

brooke said...

Maxdog you're camoflaged! I barely noticed you under all those quilting squares!

Mrs. JP said...

I've been wondering who does the quilting in the ones I've seen in the pictures. It's YOU and poor MAX has to model the pictures for you. He does make a good backdrop. Love, love, love those squares. Make sure we see it when it's all together.

Jacqueline said...

Max, you and Tammy are wonderful babies to indulge your Mom's photography props so well!...Blessings and love.

Anna the GSD said...

Wow, I had to look real hard to find you guys! What a great optical illusion!

How did no one take a square and run off with it?? I'm impressed!

Amy & the house of cats said...

Those are very cool! Have a wonderful day everyone - happy 46th day of grace for Max!!

YD, sometimes with ♥June and ♥Angel Samantha said...

Moms, they are so silly, aren't they?

Molly the Airedale said...

It looks like your mom has a project that needs doing too! What a beautiful quilt this will be!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Miss Muddy Paws said...

pibble said...

It's a Max and Tammy quilt - I'd happily snuggle with that!

Mack and Mia said...

Wow Maxdog, I'm so impressed. I totally woulda shred em up, tore em up, slobbered on em, waved em, tugged em, and a ton of other things.

We love your gentle soul Maxdog! Keep resting well dear friend! You look so good, we are always thinking about you and your momma!

Wags and Woofs,
Mack and Mia

Hello there Max and Tammy!

Such great work of art! You both did a good job keeping still and allowing to be part of your Mom's masterpiece for today. Is that a quilt she will be making. Mommy loves the print.

We bet you also enjoyed doing that "project" today. Sending our love and prayers your way. We also hope that King Toffee is a-ok.

Love lots!

Dear Max,

You and Tammy really have been given the star treatment by your mom!

Luv and woofs, Riley

sprinkles said...

That's gonna be one beautiful quilt!

I think my little Chico would probably not care if I layed down all those squares on him but Shiver would have run off with them and chewed them up! He's a naughty boy like that.

Cindy Welch said...

Please be sure to post a picture of the final quilt. Some of us pet lovers are quilters too. Love the pictures and the squares.

Woof! Way better than photoshop.

Hey Max Dog and family,
Glad that your comfortable and doing so well and that your period of Grace continues to allow you to be with us. The photos are very mesmerizing if a bit hallucinogenic.
We have the good vibe machine on full blast and pointed southeast towards South Africa. We have you always in our hearts and in our prayers because we love you.
