I took 'Max-terpiece' to a trusted framer and artist in his own right.
He has a shop near where we live:

My thanks also goes to

has it's own special place on the wall in our main family room where we can look at it every time we pass by or when we sit and watch TV.
(Maxdog so enjoys being with us in this room!)

We will be constantly reminded of the incredible love that flows so naturally through the blogworld.
Thank you so very much again!!!
A NOTE:
We chose the colours of the frame to both highlight the painting and to blend in with our family room where it resides. You will notice a chorded golden insert. We have added this to highlight the beautiful portrait as well as to recognise that he is a GOLDEN retriever. There is also an olive green/gold section in the frame which is the perfect match to our lounge suite. We truly hope we have done our blogging friends justice in the framing and that you like the end result.
What do you think?...

MAXDOG
is still with us on this his...
79th Day of Grace!
Yesterday he had a good day. As many of you know, his appetite is erratic. Foods that he's been happy with at one meal will be ignored at another. Sometimes he loves biscuits and other times he'll spit them out.
The 'cheese burger I prepared for him over the weekend, was wolfed up and relished...

Not one morsel left!!! ...
That is when I smile and know that we are "good" for a few more hours.
The regular afternoon walks tell all!
... and MAXDOG and TAMMY-GIRL still demand them!...

The weather here has recently turned chilly and our two Goldens love cuddling up at night...

Today Max is quite nauseous.
We take each day for what it offers.
If he follows his usual pattern, he should be back to his old self at
"Walkies Time" this afternoon.
Yes, it's not easy battling with a sick dog!
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our dear friend...
and his family in France as they also battle with his current health.
Please go and visit them and give them some of your fabulous moral support.
Once again, THANK YOU to all my friends for our beautiful
MAX-TERPIECE!

I love the photo of max with his cheeseburger and also the one of him and Tammy under the covers!
I hope that Max feels better as the day goes on and enjoys walk time. What precious days these are.
The frame you chose just enhances the painting. It is truly beautiful.
After Max ate his cheeseburger, he did the pre rinse cycle on the plate for you.
We hope his tummy feels better real soon.

The framer has done the painting proud. It looks magnificent. What a truly beautiful treasure you have got to look at for all time.. I am sure that future generations will be gazing at the painting in years to come and saying... That was Max that was loved the world over.. Hugs GJ xx
That picture is so true-to-life and the framing is beautiful. What a treasure as is MAX.
I love the pictures where they are again being patient with you while they wait for their walk..LOL
How lovely is our framed Maxdog. Caryl, I will have to take a photo to send to you a frame I have in my home, uhm, did you come to the US and peek through one of my windows? I have an identical frame, less the matting, holding a photo of my son, Jeff, and his family in my sitting room. Great minds think alike.
Sorry to hear of Max's tummy issues. I'm praying that it doesn't bode something larger lurking in the background. My prayer is that his meds are causing the upset. I pray. I pray.
What incredible friends you have to give you such a beautiful gift. We remember seeing it when first posted. Max looks handsome in his new frame. We're glad he is still having days of grace.
I enjoy coming here every day and visiting. You are an inspiration!

How did you get Max to sit there and let you take a picture of him with the cheeseburger before he wolfed it down? My little ones would have wolfed it down the moment I set the plate on the floor for them! BOL
Woof, MaxDog - you sure look handsome in your Max-terpiece! Mummy and I absolutely love how it was framed. Looks totally stately in appearance. A great job by your framers. It is also great to see you hanging strong in there and putting in maximum effort into your days.
Sad and sorry to hear that you still have your bouts of illness surfacing but we are all heartened to see you eat those yummy burgers your Mummy made! Oh, and I absolutely LOVE your bed - I'm getting pretty envious as I adore being under a douvet and on top of a mattress.
Do take care of yourself and remember: You are VERY much LOVED by MANY.

His Maxterpiece is incredible. I love the frame and colors.
Hey Maxdog and Max mom,
The portrait is certainly accented tremendously by the mounting and framing that was so very well done. It will allow you to always have Max with you and it will surely generated GRand memories of the GReat times and adventures that you have had together. We know how much you are cherishing your time together even as difficult as it can be. We are continuing our prayers for Max's comfort and welfare. We are thinking of you all and we always hold your family close in our hearts. Please be well all.
