mmmWOOF!!!
Hello there ALL my furry friends (and their owners!)
MAXDOG here....
GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!I have an amazing ZEBRA story to tell you!....
This past weekend we were on a game drive and came across this wonderful sighting...
A SOUTH AFRICAN STINKBUG had landed on this zebra's face and was attacking it's eye!
However, there was a RED-BILLED OXPECKER on the Zebra at the time and this STINKBUG was obviously putting it's life in grave danger. Remember, RED-BILLED OXPECKERS are insectivorous and eat all the bugs off these striped animals.
We were watching this amazing spectacle, when the STINKBUG decided to ...
ATTACK THE OXPEKKER!!!
(Can you believe it!!)
Unfortunately this was too close for the birds comfort, so he made a meal of the

Go on, please tell us... 
We love you all!

The lesson to be learned here is....
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE OR ARE TOLD!!!

How many of you guys did we fool?
We have believed so many silly cyber-stories recently that we could write a book!
These pictures however were NOT photoshopped..the stinkbug had indeed landed on the book and we were swivelling it so that it would walk to the light. The camera obviously was very handy.
Please tell us...
Were you fooled?
We love you all!
Just thought we'd have a bit of fun this Monday morning!
Lots of licks

Great pictures. I thought it was April 1st for a while. How's Toffee?
I was a little bit fooled for a minute. But then I figured it out.

I was totally fooled. I mean, I know that there are gigantic bugs capable of all sorts of things where you live.

Dear Max,
Yes you did! And that was a grrreat story and the pictures are beautiful!
You really got our mommy good cause it's only 6:00 A.M. here and she hasn't had her coffee. Good job!
Come over to our place an see what we're up to. We know you won't believe this!
Luv,
Riley and Star.
We are not exactly up on our South African zoology, so you could probably tell us anything & we'd buy it! You could have said the stinkbug picked up the zebra and carried it away and we'd have been like "whoa..". Anyhoo.... have a great Monday!

Yup, we were fooled. We pictured you all with pith helmets and cameras with really great lenses and expected to read the story next in National Geographic.
Oh well, with all our pals' expertise at illustrating creative adventures, we've given up trying to distinguish real from make-believe!
We were wondering though what it would be like if all those zebras started to unwind, as in one of your previous posts!!
Wirey morning woofs!!!

Hey everyone.
Thanks for your comments so far. It's been facinating! Just so that you know...all the 'stinkbug' shots were taken in Mom's kitchen!
Lots of licks

You totally got us! Of course, now that we're down in the land of alligators, dolphins, sand dollars, crabs and otters, we may have some tricks of our own!
Your pal,
Petey
Yep, fooled me too! But then I am young, naive, trusting and a complete blonde....so that's not hard to do!

We were fooled until the stink bug attacked the Red-Billed Oxpecker, we didn't think the bird would sit still long enough for that big bug to crawl on it. Anyways wonderful pictures, I especially love the last one of you!
Kali

Takes a lot to fool us though Max! We always question everything! Great Monday game though!
take care

I hate to admit it, but I was captivated and FOOLED by your story. I bought it hook, line, and sinker. Way to go Max!
We totally were tricked!! LOL good job!
Oooooh - very good of you!
Hey Max, I was totally fooled.
If that stink bug was in my human's kitchen there wouldn't be any picture takin just screamin.

Max,
You are silly. We were fooled.
Sally Ann
Oh Max,
Did I miss the part about Toffee?
Sally Ann
Well, we thought it sounded unbelievable but we totally bought it! I think it was Max's trustworthy face that really sold it ;-)
No worries on not knowing who we were! I recently changed the name on my blog and profile but sometimes read blogs from my other account leading some pups to be confused!
Thanks for stopping by! Max, you are the most luscious golden we have ever seen, by the way!
Moose + Dana
How funny! You had us fooled too! What a neat trick! OC
The image of a herd of zebras unravelling their stripes had me in "stitches". I could "knot" stop laughing! Hehe!!
